Brother and Sister LOVE

I had an incredible hostess for one of my Thirty One parties last week, she went all out, so I took pictures.  I loved the food line up and all the fall decor.

This is my typical set up these days for a home party.

Her porch was so pretty!  Made me long to do things like this at my house one day.  Notice I said One Day.  This is not the season of life for time for things like this, but I love the way it looks.

This was my sweet hostess, what a fun party! 

I seriously get paid to attend parties and hang out with ladies and shop!  How cool is that?  I love my job and the people I meet through it.

This isn’t the best picture (she is asleep), but if you recall, this outfit was Kaden’s, given to us by my dear friend, Rochelle.  I love this little fuzzy warm cow suit, and I was so afraid she wouldn’t get to wear it because it is a 3 month outfit, but it turned cold Sunday morning, in the 50’s, so she wore it to church.  The picture below was Kaden in this outfit!

 

They are so different, yet so similar.  I can’t believe my baby boy is already this kid in the batman jacket below, where does the time go?  This was taken at church yesterday morning. 

I am so in love with my baby girl.

Kallie Ann is getting baptized at church next Sunday and we are transferring our membership to this new church.  So thankful to have a church home to raise our kids in.

Kaden and his Sissy before church started.  Kaden is starting Wonderful Wednesday’s at church this week.  They go from 6-8 p.m. and do more in depth activities, stories and songs about their Sunday lesson.  I’m so excited to see how he likes it and what he learns.  God is truly working on him already.

Kaden Angus can not get enough of his Sissy.  He wants to hold her and love on her and help me all the time with her.  He is the sweetest thing to her and she adores him already.  I hope he always adores his baby sister.  :)  He says things to her like, “Aren’t you the cutest?”  “Missy Prissy!”  and “Ittybittybottyboopboopboop!”  He’s a mess talking to her.  And, she LOVES him!

She is so content with her Bubba holding her, she never fusses.  It is true brother/sister love.  Does it get any sweeter?

They just hang out and talk.

He tells her everything.

She listens.

Today she sat in her Bombo chair for the first time and watched Bubba play in his room.  She loved being in his room.

And tonight, Daddy read them both a night time story.  My three loves all snuggled up and happy.  It’s moments like these that make all the hard days worth it.  I love you three!

And, I’m FINALLY caught up!!!!

Sunday afternoon nap with Daddy

I just love this!

Homecoming, Kallie’s first Church Day

Believe it or not, it has been 15 years since I graduated high school, and 15 years since i have attended a high school football game.  Lance and I decided to go and see my alma motto play their homecoming game.  Kaden loved the bulldog, but would not touch her.  He was pretty intimidated by her.  She just wanted a high five! 

Miss Kallie at her first football game.  Go Bulldogs!

One of my sweetest best friends, Christy. 

Kaden had a great time rolling down the big hill with the other kids at the stadium.  All boy is he!

I have been partying a lot with my Thirty One business.  This was at my $1650 hostesses party, she had every intention to have this outside here at their cabin by the pond.  It was a beautiful outside space on the first day of fall, but it was 90 degrees at 4 p.m. and it was too hot.  So, everyone jammed in this tiny cabin in the a/c.  It was a great party!  Over 25 people there!

And, Kallie went with me.  She was a hit at the party!  She was so good and never cried once in four hours.  What a party girl!

We had our first Sunday at church as a family of four the Sunday after she got her 2 month shots.  We switched churches recently.  Kaden needs a childrens program, and we found a super Sunday school, Children’s church, and Wonderful Wednesday’s program for him to attend.  I have been blown away with what he has learned in four short weeks in these programs.  He has learned to pray, it is truly the sweetest thing in the world.  He is learning songs and getting that strong foundation built in the Lord.  I am one proud Momma!  These pictures are of Kallie’s first Sunday at church.  I am so proud of my family.

This boy is so in love with his Sissy.

Daddy and Daughter Love.  Isn’t that dress the sweetest?

Last Days of Summer

We went to the Harbor to the splash pad a couple weeks ago for Kaden to get in one last good play in the water.  Plus, it’s free entertainment!  He is always slow to warm up to this idea, but once he gets all wet, he loves it and never wants to leave and then begs to go back again and again and again, even when its cold outside.  As you can see, Miss Priss slept the activity away.

But, she did have her swim suit on!  I had to get at least one wear out of that thing! 

You can tell that Daddy worked all summer and didnt get to enjoy any outdoor time in shorts!  :)

This sweet boy is so red headed.  Everywhere we go people say how pretty his hair is.  EVERYWHERE!  He is growing up way to fast.  I wish I could push pause for a little while and enjoy this imaginative, creative, fun 3 year old.  He is so much fun!  He is three and a half foot tall and 43 pounds.  He is wearing a size 12/13 shoe.  He wears a size 5T or regular 5 clothes.  My baby is no more, he is now in kids sizes. 

Having fun with cousin Geoffrey at the fall festival.  Silly boys!  Kaden says this is his ring master hat.  He LOVES all things circus!

Sister slept through her first fall festival, but there will be many more years for her.  :)

And then, there was County Fair Day.  Kallie got to meet Mrs. Georgia, and cousin Kristi & Shannon.

Getting in some fair rides…

 

Kaden is not scared of any rides and would ride anything.  He loves it!  He also LOVES to dress up like a pirate!  Aaarrrggghhh!

This boy has had lots of fun and adventure!

Catching up, Month 2 with Kallie

This happens very rarely in my house for Kaden anymore.  So, when it does, I get some things done.  This is a mid afternoon nap.  So wish he would do this everyday still.  He has been off naps for at least half a year now. 

Most times, we are more like this!

I think Kaden is 3 and a half, going on ten.  He loves SUPER HEROS of all kinds.  Spiderman.  Batman. Superman. He’s not picky, he loves them all.  But, I feel the content of most the shows is to old for him.  That’s a fun battle.

We like it when Daddy’s home so he can feed some bottles, too.

Kallie with my Granny.

Chloe Mae was so excited to finally meet Kallie.

And, Kim finally meeting Kallie.

This girl is a NUT!  Love her!

My nephew, Dustin, holding baby girl.

My brothers, Lenny and Jamie with baby girl.          

Cousin Gracie and Uncle Freddie with Kallie.

Kaden will love me for these one day.  (Not.)  This is him feeding Chloe’s baby doll and taking care of it just like baby sister.  He is such a great big brother and helper for me.  He loves her SO much!  I hope that never changes.            

And, I LOVE that he is playing on the same couch I played on as a little girl!  My Granny’s house is just home to me.  Always has been, always will be.
