Merry CHRISTmas!!!!

Only 1 more sleep until Santa comes!!!

I just can't believe this CHRISTmas season is almost over!

It's been so busy at our house with school, homework, dance, parties, church and just living.

I'm sure it's been the same for you as well.

 The hubs and I taking a pic...he's not crazy about pics, but I am...so we take lots of pics!!!

 Thanksgiving weekend we ventured to 

Mike's Tree Farm to enjoy the beautiful weather

and delicous country cooking!

 My sweet girl!

 Our family took an angel from the tree in the mall and shopped quite a bit for a sweet little girl.

Bailey had the best time picking out gifts for her.

We dropped them off and said a little prayer for her.

It's great having friends that are talented.

Thanks to my sweet friend, Sara for her 

beautiful artwork.  I've enjoyed looking at this

everyday this holiday season.

Exactly what CHRISTmas is all about,

our Savior.

 I hosted an 

Ugly Christmas Sweater Party

and we all had a blast!

 Lots of funny selfies!

Sweet friends make the party so much fun!

 More selfies!!!

Friends enjoying fun and fellowship.

 Loved having both of these girls at the party and how about their sweaters!

 We had lots of yummy food to munch on.

And even Skippy & Ginger came with their 

ugliest of ugliest Christmas sweaters.

 Sara & Katie always liven up any party!

 Alison & Madison joined in on the fun!

Here we all are looking so ugly!!!

It was a lot of fun and definitely a 

new tradition!

 Madison looking beautiful for the 

Christmas dance.

 Madison and her handsome date!

 These two have my heart!

 We had our church Christmas play Sunday night and

Emma came to support Bailey.

 Sweet Avery with Bailey!

 These 3 are the cutest ever!

We've had a wonderful and blessed holiday season

thus far!  Always fun spending time with Madison.

I encourage you to take time for your loved ones and truly honor what CHRISTmas is all about, 

JESUS!

HE is the reason for the season!

Merry CHRISTmas

First Day of School

We survived the first day of school!

Bailey and Madison had a great first day

back, but I'm struggling with the fact

that they are growing up way too fast.

I've heard the saying so many times,

"The days are long, but the years are short."

So true!

Madison is a 

JUNIOR!

I can't help, but think that next year will be her last first day of high school.

Bailey swooping in to get a hug from her Sissy.

This is Madison's first year driving to school.

Lots of prayers going up everyday as she pulls out 

of the driveway!

It's going to be a great junior year for Madison!

Here's a look back since 9th grade.

Bailey is a 

3rd GRADER!

She was so excited for her first day of 3rd grade.

Mostly excited to wear her pretty dress with the pencils all over it!

#definitelymychild

She's ready to take on 3rd grade!

Mama...not so much!

She was just in pre-school!

Here's a look back since 1st grade.

Sending up prayers for all of our babies returning to school.

Have a blessed day!

Keep up with me everyday!

So excited to share my 

Friday Favorites 

with you today.

Bailey's last day of school!

 She has grown up so much!

We had to get our new kitten in the pic.

Bailey had a great 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Sutton

which made this year the absolute BEST!

Bailey loves Mrs. Sutton and enjoyed being

in her class.  I can't say enough great things about

this school year...it has been a year that we will

always look back on and SMILE!

#2

School is out!!!

On our first day of summer vacation we slept late and then changed out of our pajamas into our 

swimsuits and headed for the pool!

Bailey did not want to be in our pic.

Bailey loves trying to keep up with the older girls

at the pool.

I see many more pool days in our near future!

#3

Check out our CONVERSES!!!

Madison got a pair of converses last summer and ever since I've wanted a pair.  Early spring I 

purchased THESE and then Madison updated hers and got THESE.  We took them to be 

monogrammed and I am in LOVE!!!!

 Madison's cake was so cute and delicious.  It was chocolate chip cookie dough and it was some kind of good.

SWEETIEPIES

located in downtown Kinston on Heritage st.

They did a great job on her cake!

 Madison acting all shy in this pic while we sang

Blowing out all 16 candles!

She had a great time hanging out with friends.

 Bailey had her 2nd Grade Awards Day yesterday and boy did she

rack up on awards!

 She is so shy!

 Sissy didn't have any exams so she was able to be there for Bailey.

Mama & Daddy are so proud of this smart girl.

She's had a fabulous year thanks to her wonderful

teacher, Mrs. Jennifer Sutton.

Bailey loves her teacher and it seriously made 2nd grade so much fun.

Sweet 16

My baby turned 16 on Sunday!

I seriously can't believe it.

We went Tuesday to get her driver's license...

and she passed with flying colors.

 Mama is not ready for this...

Happy Birthday Madison!

We love you till the counting numbers end.

We are celebrating again tonight with her friends!

#2

Shopping

After Madison got her license we made a day of it...

eating, laughing and of course shopping!

Madison's most favorite store is

Lilly Pulitzer.

We had fun trying on lots of shorts, tops and dresses.

Bailey was super excited over her volleyball trophy.

She played recreational volleyball this spring...following 

in her Sissy's footsteps.

#4

What you do with one child...

you must do with the other!

Bailey was a little jealous with all the attention

Madison received with her birthday; so yesterday

Bailey skipped school and we had a little fun in town.

 First stop-

Starbucks & Target.

Aren't these little mini sizes adorable!

We stopped by Old Navy and I couldn't resist trying

 on these shorts overalls.

Bailey was quick to get a pic. 

#5

I'm so excited to announce that I am officially

an ambassador for

PLEXUS!

Hopefully you've heard of Plexus unless you've been

living under a rock or something.

I was very hesitant to try, but I ordered from a good friend 

that has received amazing results and I am so glad I did.

I'm not trying to lose weight, but rather inches and 

interested in a more healthy lifestyle.

Plexus has many different products to choose from.
