Are you ready for some football (in my best Hank Williams Jr voice)...

I know someone who is getting REALLY excited for football season around here...

Love,

What's in a name...

Apparently quite a bit because I am finding myself getting more and more stressed about lil' bits name for some reason. We know her name, but are going back and forth on how to spell it.

What do you think...

Presley Mae

OR

Presleigh Mae

Weigh in and let me know your thoughts...

Sunday funday at church...

I love that Cash loves church. I love that he gets excited every time we drive past it. I love that he yells, "CHURCH" on Sunday mornings when we start driving that direction. I just love it. 

And it is hard to not love church when they throw in fun Sunday play days like this...

Balloons, clowns, food trucks, ice cream at 10:00 a.m., moon bounces...

And slip and slide blow up bouncy houses... how could you not have fun and love your church?

One of the very rare moments that Cash and I have a photo together because I am always the one taking the pics...

Just hanging with Uncle Pat, Dillyn, and Grandude after all of the fun.

Thanks Journey Church for such a fun family Sunday.

Trips to Houston are for...

Stopping in Dallas for some good Mexican grub...

Having time to give daddy sugars right in the smack dab middle of dinner... we always make time for that...

Getting in a quick shave at Yaya and Papi's house (and before ANYONE goes and reports us to DHS, the blade was not in the razor AND it was turned around... so just chill)

Watching Narnia with the cousins for about 10 minutes... and then running around playing and being loud...

Quick nap time with daddy after a long day of swimming...

Bath time with the cousins before Sunday night football...

Watching Sunday night football with the cousins... while eating popcorn and drinking a Capri Sun... Just livin' the life...

Being completely worn out from a long trip to Houston that you crash in the car for the drive home after 30 minutes...

And of course, practicing learning how to hold "sissy" from the Cabbage Patch Doll given to lil' bit from her Auntie...

All in all, it was a great trip with a great family.

Love,

E

Lil' bit...

You are the size of a grapefruit right now and can hear our voices and my heartbeat. I have always felt very lucky to be able to share that bond with you. The fact that you and your brother are the only ones to ever hear my heartbeat from the inside is something that can make me tear up if I really stop and think about it.

Love,
Mom

Dear Cash and Lil' Bit...

Today Cash, your felt your baby sister move for the first time. And you were thrilled. You had your hand on my tummy and felt "sissy move". You got so excited and started running around the house yelling, "I felt sissy move! I felt sissy move."

You already love her so much and I am beyond excited to see the bond that you two will have.

Love,
Mom

A little comparison...

Here is my bare belly...in all its glory...when I was 21 weeks pregnant with Cash.

And here is my belly at 21 weeks with lil' bit... Not a ton of difference. I feel like I am bigger than what this pic shows and I think it depends on what clothes I am wearing, but I am sure she will "pop" at here pretty soon.

Love,

E

A blast from the past...

This post has nothing to do with anything other than it just being really funny to me. These pics were taken by Aaron Snow, our wedding photographer back in 2009. I had seen an idea on the internet for a cute save the date and wanted to replicate it. We were supposed to be doing handstands with the signs in between. And well... you can see how that turned out for us.

Please note Noah's angle of entry in the third picture and tell me how this entire incident was not his fault?!?!

Love,
E
