Katie's Wedding!

Katie and Trey got married in Fredericksburg this past weekend! The wedding was at Becker Vineyards. We all arrived on Friday and Mikey and the kids dropped me off at the rehearsal.

The Bride's Parents!

The happy couple!

The Baird Family at the Rehearsal Dinner. Poor Bentley didn't get any long naps in during the drive. He was so tired.

My handsome date to the wedding.

Daddie's dates!

I was trying to get a picture of Bentley's outfit and again he was up past his bedtime. I thought it made for a cute picture.

That is better!

Bentley and his "hook'em horns" sign. He felt right at home near Austin.

The married couple!

The wine glasses.

The flowers.

The gang.

Daddie and Presley being silly.

Poor Bentley was so tired. Luckily he was able to sleep a little bit during the reception dinner. One of Trey's brother's son's shared his stroller with B.

While we were in Fredericksburg, we rented a super cute little house right in town. It was 3 bedroom and 3 bath. Mom, Dad, Mycah and Josh all stayed with us. There was plenty of room and we had so much fun!

Destin 2013

I recently had the privilege of taking a girls' trip to Destin for some much needed Mommy Time. It rained almost every day and we probably spent a total of 5 hours on the beach, but it was still a great trip. It was nice to wake up and have coffee and read. Or lay in bed and read. The girls and I made some great memories. We did some shopping and ate some good meals. I enjoyed and appreciated every second I was there!

Thanks to Daddie, Grammy and Grampy for taking care of the kids while I was gone. Daddie had the kids for 3 out of the 5 days and was a rock star. He even has their whole routine down!

Here are some pictures that Daddie sent me.



Also, thank you to Courtney, KC, Kelli, Shawna and Tamra for a very fun trip. Love you girls!



I was very excited to see my babies when I got home!

Presley's 3rd Birthday!

Presley got an easle for her birthday. It has a chalkboard on one side and a dry erase board on the other side.

Presley had a birthday shirt and tutu on for about 5 minutes. I tried to get a picture and she was being silly.

Birthday cake! She loved eating the icing off of the cake.

She had plenty of presents to open so she opened them all throughout the day.

Marmee and Guy got her a Princess Sofia dress. She also got a Doc McStuffins set from Mommy and Daddie.

Grammy and Grampy got her a Princess Sofia doll!

Kiley and Bentley helped with the presents too!

Bentley thought the party was fun!

The artist at work.

Presley and I had a wonderful birthday celebration with the family. We love when everyone is together! Thanks to Grammy and Marmee for doing the cooking!

Dear Presley,

I can't believe you are 3 years old. Over the last year, you have grown into a little girl. It makes Mommy sad to see you grow up so fast, but I am so proud of how smart and beautiful you are. You love to talk and you have so many questions about everything. You ask "why" A LOT, but I know that is why you are so smart. You just want to know how everything works! You are so motherly and caring. You are such a big help with your sister and brother. You are so sweet and affectionate and you are such a good middle sister! You love to help with Bentley, you love to help in the kitchen and anywhere else Mommy is. You learned to go potty like a big girl in 2 short days and you have been such a big girl going potty by yourself. You are already so responsible. You sleep in a big girl bed now! You love going to school. Luckily I can get clothes on you to wear to school because you love running around in your panties all day at home! You have the cutest little tushy I have ever seen! I love you so much and look forward to watching you grow over the next year!

Love,
Mommy

Presley's 1st Day of School

Presley's started her second year of preschool this morning! She and Mommy were so excited! She is going to the same school she went to last year, but she has a new classroom, a new teacher and new friends!

Posing with her backpack and her nap mat....She did great when I dropped her off!

She is quite the engineer. She made this choo choo train the other day.

Marmee and Guy spent Labor Day weekend with us and Guy took the girls swimming in the rain!

Guy also bought the girls donuts one morning. He bought plain donuts and there were some left so I let Presley have one for breakfast one morning and when I came to check on her, I saw this. I am still not sure who taught her this....noone has confessed yet...Marmee? Guy? Mycah?

Just a quick update on Kiley, she is doing great in her new class and still loves school just as much as ever!

Another "Princess" Party

Katie is getting married in just a few weeks, so Mom and I wanted to throw her a little "girls day" to celebrate before the wedding. We met for brunch at a hotel and had a delicious breakfast. After breakfast, we threw her a cleaning supplies shower. We made this fun towel cake to go with the theme.

We also wrote her a letter with a bunch of cleaning supplies mentioned in the letter and bought her all of the supplies. It was a very fun little game.

Pretty Sunflowers!

The bride-to-be's table setting. We had little budnt-tinies for dessert. They were delicious!

After the shower, we spent the day at the pool and all took turns going to the spa!

It was a very special day and we hope "Princess Kate" enjoyed it! We can't wait for the big day!

A Princess Party!

Our dear friend, Summer, turned 3 and she invited us to her princess party. Cinderella came to visit!

Presley with her friend's Caris, Felicty and Caitlyn.

Presley got to get her face painted by Cinderella.

Yes, Presley has a marshmallow in one hand and a cupcake in the other....

Bentley was a little outnumbered by all of the princesses, but he spent most of the party napping, so that was ok and helped Mommy out! Thanks B! Happy Birthday Summer. Thanks for a wonderful party!

Siblings!
