Presley and Levi

God has truely blessed Matt and I with the most precious children. I really will never know what I did to deserve two amazing babies.. but, I do understand complete unconditional love. I am in love with these two.. and can't imagine life without them.
I think seeing them Presley love on Levi, and Levi smile and coo back.. is just icing on the cake!
The other night, Presley sang, "Twinkle, Twinkle little star to Levi." He SMILED so big and it brought tears to my eyes. What a joy it is to see the love they already have for one another!! I am so happy I captured these sweet moments!!
Hope to capture MANY more!!



Just love my little man in Black and White:)






These gorgeous BLUE eyes are gonna make it hard for me to say, "NO." :)

Levi: 6 weeks

Mr. Levi is 6 weeks old.. and BIG NEWS.. He started smiling :)
and let me say, "it melts my heart!!!!" I think I see some cute little dimples, too. He is napping most of day still, but each day is more and more awake.
He sleeps well at night, too. Usually at least 6-7 hours! I can't complain!

I am so blessed to be able to stay home with my precious children. I can never thank Matt enough for working hard to provide for us.. and let me do so.





I am THIS BIG!! ha!


The second child goes by way TOO fast.. I am trying my best to enjoy every second!! :)

Presley starts Preschool!!!

I can't believe it is happening.
My sweet baby girl starting preschool. WHAT? Where did the time go???
I was SUPER excited for her new adventure.. time to meet other children..but, at the same time, it was hard to see her growing up.
I knew she would love it and do great. I just couldn't believe she was old enough, already!

Funny story, as we were rushing around like crazy.. her SMART mommy, mispelled SCHOOL!! I was so excited to take pictures, that I didn't notice until after I uploaded them. Yay, for photoshop, friends helped me correct some.
But, honesly, the more I do this mommy thing. It is not only hilarious, but real.
I am not a perfect mom. I am just a real one:)
Mistakes will happen, and hopefully we can look back and have a good laugh seeing these pics. :)

Also, my sweet girl.. fractured her foot and had to wear this lovely black boot for 3 weeks :(
She handled it so well, and honestly, never complained. I have so much to learn from her. She really is one of the coolest people I know. Beautiful inside and out.
She is so special to me, and I am BLESSED beyond words to have her as my own.
I love her more than she could and will ever know.
Sweet Presley Ruth.. starts preschool. 3 1/2 years going on 13.

Ha, I told you.. totally spelled it wrong! Matt teased me all day, and said maybe by the end of the year I would be able to spell it correctly:)
She is so beautiful and fun.. the sign really isn't important.




But, I did fix a couple, because I had to! 
Isn't she the cutest!!? even with that ugly boot.
precious.



Haha! :)




Looking at her Daddy. LOVE this one!!
Daddy's girl.




Bittersweet!!


Teachers Ms. Meredith, Ms. Mary, and Ms. Nancy


We love Ms. Nancy! She is a family friend, and we were so excited Presley could be in her class!!
So excited for a fun filled school year!! :)

Our 1st month with Levi

Laided back, Levi.
That's what we call him :) We have LOVED having a little boy to cuddle with. 
Presley and I love telling him all the time how cute he is, too! :) She tells him several times a day!
He did have thrush in the beginning, but other than that, he is usually only upset if he is hungry.
He loves car rides, so far.. sleeps at night like a champ, and just is pretty darn precious.
I am so happy to be nursing this little fellow.. And even though we had a hard start, and so proud I stuck this first month out. SO worth it!
He is such a blessing. 
(SO bare with me, this first month.. I did great to even get the camera out, some of these I just shoot in Automatic to capture the sweet memories:)
Loving the swing, just like his sister

Sweet boy at 3 weeks old


Some of his 1 month old sticker pics. 
He got tired of mommy taking pictures, hints the bottom left pic:)

Best surprise ever!!!
 AUNTIE PAIGE came to visit.
She is such an awesome BEST friend.. in SOO many ways. She surprised me and showed up the day before my birthday to see us, and meet Levi. 
She came to Memphis when Presley was born, and always told me she would do the same for my other children. 
LOVE her so much and am so thankful that we have been best friends since the 7th grade.
 Her timing was perfect. 
I loved her visit, and getting to spend time with her sweet daughter, Isabelle too.
Izzy was so much fun, and Presley loved playing with her!
There are few people I tell everything to or even want to.
this girl is one of them.

Gosh, I love her.
I wish we lived closer.


I had her snap a quick family pic of us 4 before leaving. it was madness to say the least. 
Glad we got one decent one;)
