First game as a cheerleader!

I dont think Alexis fully understood the extent of what it was like when she said she wanted to be a cheerleader!.........but, I think she is realizing it and I have to say she is loving it! :)

She had her very first game Saturday and she did awesome!! She was so good out there during half-time! She did all the motions, didnt fall during her pyramid, and smiled the whole time!

The Jacksonville Golden Eagles played Ragland and beat them 27-6!

Makes my heart smile to see Alexis love something that I loved when I was younger! :)

These cuties did such a great job! They blew the other cheer squad away!

Getting ready for the boys to go on the field!!

My little cheerleader!!

Doing their chants!!

Ready for half-time!! SSOOOO proud of them!

Look at that smile on her face! It was there the whole time she was out on that field!! :) :)

The pyramid!!

Sooo proud!!

Love these girls!

And my two girls too!!! :) :)

My Little Pony party!

From the time I asked Lily what kind of birthday party she wanted....she never swayed from a 'My Little Pony' party! Soooo......a My Little Pony party it was!! :)

We had her party at Germania Spring Park. It is a big park with a huge playground and a big Train deck play area. And.....per Lily..."Everybody came Mommy!!" :) All her little friends and family!!

Andrew's work had a huge bouncy house....so they put that out and the kids had a ball.

The kids played and played and colored at the 'coloring station' and then we ate cake and opened presents!

It was perfect weather and day for a sweet little girl's birthday!!

The set up! :) We had grilled out hotdogs! YUM!

Love this decoration!!

The bouncy house was a huge hit!!.............even with kids that were not at Lily's party! :)  {Though once her party started we had to kick kids out that we didnt know because it was getting too crowded!}

The kids loved coloring the My Little Pony color sheets!

Some of the crew at the party and the birthday girl!!

They had SOOO much fun!

Lily and Callie love playing with each other!!

Her cake! It was soo cute and sooo good! This is exactly what she wanted!!

Alexis and Carli helped Lily blow her candle out! :)

Aunt Brandi helping with the cake!

Everybody enjoying the party!

The birthday girl got alot of cute things! She loved it all!!

This was her favorite gift! :) It walks!!

My Lilybug is 3!

I am crying at the thought of how fast time has flown with Lily! It literally feels like yesterday that I was flying down Highway 280 in 5 oclock traffic to give birth to her!

She has grown and blossomed soooo much in her three little years! She may be small, but by goodness she doesnt think that! She can keep up with her big sister.............and her sister's friends with ease! :) :)

She is just so advanced for her little age! She speaks so well {and speaks her mind so well} too! :)

She does everything on her own time! When she gets it in her head to do something, that is when it will happen! {Since the day she popped out of my belly, this has been the case!} Once she sets her mind to something, there is no going back! She has 10 guns blazing and ready to roll! She is by far my most determined, focused, and hardworking child! {I always say Alexis is my artsy, singing, in 'Lala world' child! :) :) }

I am beyond blessed to be little Miss Lily's Mommy! She brings soooo much joy and laughter to our lives! This girl cracks me up every.single.day! There is no telling what she is going to say on any given occasion about any topic!!

Happy 3rd birthday Lily! I can not wait to see you grow even more into a beautiful woman!

Day 244
Love seeing Alexis excited about learning and happy when she does well! She got all of her spelling words correct...so she drew herself a smiley face! {with ears!} :)

Day 245
OH YUM! I made chicken pot pie for the first time using a very good recipe! Funny story!!...right after I took this picture I went to scoop it out and realized that the biscuits were still mush on the bottom! :) Needless to say we didnt have much biscuit this go around, but next time I make it, I will know to cook them separate and then add them in! :) {You live and you learn....right!!??} :) :)

Day 246
It was SOOOO good to have our little buddy back home with us! The girls missed him sooo much and constantly kept asking me about him! He was only away from us one night! He had to get neutered and declawed! We missed him!

Day 247
Thursday...Thursday!! Ballet day with these three! I took Laynee this day with us and they had soo much fun in the back on the way down to class! This was a SUPER busy day!! I dropped the girls off at Gran's after class so they could spend the night with her and she could take them to school the next day since Tyler and I headed to Troy for Lindsay's wedding! 

Day 248
Having fun with this guy! We loaded up and headed down to Lindsay's wedding weekend!

Day 249
She is MARRIED! Whooo hoooo!! Love her!!

Day 250
 Back at home and back in the groove! :) :) Did our weekend Walmart run and I picked up this little jewel! :) :) OOOHHH, how I love how my house smells!! That "Fall" feeling is in our home!!

Day 251
Yeah, was the highlight of my day until I actually started working on it! BOY, it ended up being a no go!! Trying to do a 'run through' sign for the football team was a disaster! :( :(    But, for a moment...it was the highlight of my day! haha!

Day 252
Glad to see this guy eating! He started not feeling good, not eating much at all, not moving, just not his normal spunky self from all of the stuff he had done so I took him to the vet the day before. They gave him two shots because he was running a fever. Well this day, he started improving! The shots had kicked in and finally he was feeling like eating!

Day 253
Love getting Alexis' Wednesday folder and seeing all the work she has been doing! She made a 100% on one of her tests! So proud of her!!

Day 254
Thursday ballet day is here again! This little busy bee wild thing loved playing in the Burger King playground before ballet class!

Wordless Wednesday!

The wedding of the century!

Finally the day came that my dearest friend Lindsay was able to 'put a ring on it!'  :)

Lindsay and I have been friends for a very long time! It started out as us meeting as sorority sisters to both of us dating two Alpha Gamma Rho boys to birthday parties, hanging out, crazy car dancing, graduating college,  getting married, having babies, loosing my Dad, her becoming an Aunt, her getting married and everything in between!

We have been through sooo much together as 'sisters!' I truly feel like she is the sister I never had!

Though her relationship with her Alpha Gamma Rho boy didnt work out....we still continued our friendship up to this day!

And Saturday I got to celebrate the biggest moment for her! She got MARRIED! :)

I have met Seth a couple of times and of course heard all about him through out the years and I have to say I love seeing Lindsay so happy and in love!

I am so blessed to have been apart of her big day with her and her sweet family!!

The Bridesmaid's luncheon! She had it at a really quaint, cute cafe type historic home in Troy, Al. The house had really pretty antiques and was just so feminine!

 SOOO good! The pimento cheese and the chicken salad was some of the BEST I have eaten! SO good! :)

The rehearsal later that night!
Lindsay got married in a huge barn! It was very nice and looked very expensive! :) I loved the rustic decor that she did! It was totally Lindsay! :)
The girl on the far right is Christina! Her and I hit it off at Lindsay's bachelorette party in Savannah. It was so fun hanging out with her over the weekend!!

My date for the weekend! oohh......we made some memories on this trip! From Tyler remembering he forgot his clothes once we were in Troy, to breaking the waffle maker at the hotel to just spending time together! We had fun!

The wedding decor! So cute!

The Bride's cake!

The wedding day and us! :

She is married!! SOOOO happy for her!! :) :)

Alexis' first Jamboree!

We have been super super busy lately!!...with all FUN things of course, but goodness I am tired! :)

After ballet class Thursday I dropped the girls off at Grans for them to spend the weekend with grandparents because Tyler and I headed to Troy, Alabama to celebrate my dearest friend Lindsay!!

She got MARRIED yesterday! Whoo hoo!! I have been waiting for YEARS to celebrate this with her! She has been to literally every big event of my life throughout our friendship...and nothing has been going on with her until NOW! :) Sooo happy for her!! {pictures of the wedding weekend coming soon!}

While we were gone, Alexis and Lily had a great weekend! Friday night Alexis spent the night with Gran and Lily spent the night with Nan and Pawpaw!

Saturday Alexis had her very first Jamboree as a cheerleader in Ragland!! She was beyond excited about it! I am soooo sad that I missed it but I heard a great report about it and loved seeing the pictures!

Alexis and Lily then spent the night with Nan and Pawpaw Saturday night and went to Church with them this morning. We met everyone for lunch after Church and now we are all home relaxing!! Ahh...nice! :)
