its been too long and my kids are growing too fast....i need to document:/

i can't believe so many months have passed by since my last post!  i used to post from my phone and then something happened to the app and well.....time has just gotten the best of me.  so much has been happening and my kiddos are growing like weeds!

I will try to back post( esp for myself and lack of memory) but here are a few pics since the beginning of the year.

Finn is now 3 1/2, still has crazy energy, loves his momma, loves to big boy things with dad, is obsessed with tv and his"movies"-bubble guppies, dora, jake, mickey, doc mcstuffins, loves playing outside, loves popsicles no matter what the temperature is outside, loves school, so smart, so observant, so inquisitive, can finally climb to the top of the rope at gym, recently really learning his letters, and LOVES his baby sister and being a big bother.

Ellie girl, she is 11 months old....i can hardly even type it.....i can not believe my baby girl is almost 1.  my girl is sweet, she is coming into this cute little personality, she sits straight up observing her crazy surroundings but already she wants to be old, she wants whatever her brother has and wants to do whatever he is doing, so loves finn, she loves finns pottery barn chair and sits there with one leg cocked up and a remote...its hilarious, she too loves her momma, she also loves her dada and gets so excited when he comes home from work, she can say mama and uh oh, this week she took her first steps....i was amazed and did not expect it, she loves to put her head in the corner of my neck and i love that, she loves to eat...anything, anything that she sees, she only drinks water, and she only nurses....will not take a bottle:/, she sleeps like a champ in her bed, goes to bed early like 7:30-8(another world for me), she also wakes up early like 6:30-7:00(also another world:), she has the most beautiful blue eyes, and the prettiest skin with blond hair!!!

she is just a wonderful addition to our lives and we feel so complete with her.

New Years Eve

We had a New Years Eve Party at our house again this year with the kiddos and I think everyone had a ball!  The Dads went a little overboard on the fireworks and we all watched an amazing show for hours!!  I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, the kids or the dads!!!!  They say it will be even better next year!!  Happy New Year!!!  Excited for 2013!

Merry Christmas!!

Sorry for the picture overload but it is just too hard to choose!  As always, our Holiday were filled with alot of family and traveling!  The Weekend before Christmas we were in Diamondhead.  We celebrated Dad's birthday, had fun with Logan and Brittany, and just hung out!  We then went to the Condo in NOLA to meet up with The Raynals for Christmas Eve Eve, went to Fulton St(kinda disappointed in that:/) and dinner at Luke.  This is our second year doing that and I really enjoy it and always love being in NOLA during the holidays.  Christmas Eve we spent at my parents house along with Mrs Karen, Mr. Emile, and Nicole; again so great to be able to spend this time with both of our families.  Christmas day we went to The Raynals and then me and the kids drove to Diamondhead to see the Gravois crew so needless to stay we did spend alot of time on the road but it was all worth it to see our families!!  Finn and Ellie had a wonderful Christmas and it was great to have our little Ellie girl for her first Christmas.  We now have pink toys in the house!!  Of course, they got too much and we are getting out numbered by the toys!
