Happy Birthday Marleigh

Happy Birthday my sweet little girl.

It is hard to believe you are two years old today. The time has gone by so fast and you have changed so much. I am so blessed to be your momma and you amaze me in every way. I celebrate sweet and precious memories of today thinking about when you came into this world. It was a perfect day. Your daddy and I were so excited to finally see your sweet face. We have watched you grow and become such a unique little person. Thank you for making me a better person.

There are so many things to love about you and just to name a few....

Your beautiful spirit. It brings me strength to make through rough days.

Your gorgeous smile that lights up my world.

Your laughter is the sweetest sound I have ever heard.

Your stubborn little personality.

Your hugs and kisses sooth my soul.



You are my fair skinned blue eyed beauty and I am so thankful I have you.

I have a few pictures to share from the storm that happened on Friday. Everyone who knows me knows that I am terrified of storms and take them very seriously. Missy and Matt came to get me and Marleigh to go to Vanderbilt for a stupid shot. I tried to encourage Missy to wait but she was more concerned with Matt being hungry as always. When we left we ran right into the tornado. We drove away from the storm and ended up at Hardees's were I frantically called home to warn Mark and Haley. I had left Mason at home so you can imagine my feelings. I did finally talk with them and they were safe.
The tornado had come right through our neighborhood. We were very lucky that everyone was safe. We did lose some beautiful trees and the house and cars had some damage. It could have been much worse than it was. I am just thankful that we are safe. We can always replant trees and buy new cars.
Thank you to the many people who have come to volunteer there time to help clean up this mess. It is amazing how many people just came by to ask what can I do?



Look at my brave boys.....


This is on the right side of the house.

Poor cars.

Dirty Laundry

It is amazing what things entertain my children. Mark put them in the laundry basket and they loved it. We buy them so many toys and they find the strangest things to play with.

Every picture has a story......

Marleigh is starting to try to sneak food from the cabinets. In this picture she has the crackers and managed to sneak past me into the playroom. I knew something was up when it was way too quiet. I looked in the room and there she is trying to get into the crackers. When I asked her what she was doing, her response was "Bubba did it."


In this picture Marleigh decided she wanted to take a ride in the walker. I think she is a little jealous of watching Mason with her old toys.



Marleigh has a new trick she likes to try in the mornings. When we go get her out of bed she has taken her pajamas and diaper off and is a naked little girl. She decided one morning she needed a blanket to cover her up. She came downstairs to show daddy her new outfit.


One day I was giving Marleigh a bath and I left the room for one minute and when I returned she had her crayon and paper coloring in the tub.

These are just a few of the stories I have to tell around our house. There is never a dull moment with our little ones.
