There's a first for everything....



I truly enjoy blogging about our journey as parents and sharing all the pictures of our family with you...but most of all I hope that one day Kennedy and Presley will love reading this blog and cherish each memory I have tried to capture for them. Our girls bring us so much joy everyday!

Fall Fun!

The weather changed for a second...and then...oh yea, we live in Florida and it could be 80 degrees on Christmas...yes, this is a little annoying when you are trying to get into the holiday spirit.  BUT we sweated through the Pumpkin Patch this year with a smile.  Every year it gets more fun.  We go to the same patch every year and 2 years ago, Kennedy fit into a little pumpkin display at about 7 weeks old.  This year at 2 yrs old, she was pulling her sister around in a wagon, picking up pumpkins everywhere, and making it really hard to get any good pictures!  This was Presley's first trip to the patch (well, really her 2nd since she was in my belly last year) and she seemed to just take it all in.  She is such a trooper everywhere we go and gets a kick out of just watching her sister run wild.  Halloween is next week, craziness.  I heart the holidays.........

 Here she goes!
 

On a mission to find our family pumpkin!
 
The girls!  Yee Haw!
 
 Someone is always not looking...
 
 Or paying attention, haha!  Daddy tries so hard!
 
 Where is Kennedy?!
 
 Checking out the gourds!
 Which pumpkin will we pick??
 
 Presley needed to smell and taste them all.  I love the Bumbo, this is the best invention ever and goes almost everywhere with us!
 
 I love this one.
 
I took a picture of her on this bench last year!  She looks completely different!  Go back and look at my post!
 

 BUSY...
 



Sweetest faces I know...
 

 Pulling her sister.  Look at P's face, priceless!
 
 My favorite.
 
 


 I love my family.
 
Happy Fall Ya'll!!

Rub a Dub Dub!

I have been trying to use our good camera more lately but the iPhone wins on the most accessible most of the time.  These pictures were a "quick grab the camera because all naked, smiley babies in the tub are so cute" moment! 

Presley is also doing so much more every day.  She will be 7 months old on the 28th and I predict she will be sitting up by then, she is so close!  I think she likes sitting up position the best because she can watch her sister run around!  A few other 6 month stats...she is a mommy's girl but smiles really big at her Daddy, loves squash, usually sleeps 11 hours but maybe starting to teethe, makes really loud noises (especially when she is getting tired), snuggles with her burp cloth or beanie baby close to her face in her crib, likes to sleep on her side, jumps in her jumper a lot, has such an easy going personality and loves to go on Kennedy's play dates too!  We get compliments on how good and HAPPY she is every where we go.  Thank you God for sweet Presley Rose.  She is a great compliment to her adventurous sister Princess Kennedy! 

 Hello gorgeous!
 
 She has Rusty's eyelashes!
 
 I mean, really??!!
 

 The tongue :)  She is sitting up like this is her bath now and loves it!
 
 Sleeping beauty! Maw Maw got her this comfy nightgown.
 
About 20 lbs of LOVE!

One little Monkey jumping on the BED!

Kennedy LOVES to jump!  It's amazing how in just a few months she can do so much more.  This summer she struggled with the trampoline at open gym because she didn't know how to jump...now she jumps everywhere she can (giving me yet another slight heart attack at times!)!  She even loves to say jump all the time.  Today when I dropped her off at school, she jumped into the classroom.  Ok you get the picture :)  Here she is doing what she loves...beware of naked cuteness!!!

 She is getting so long and lean...tear
 
 Catching some air!
 
 Are you watching me Momma?!!
 
 This is what we call a Daddy smile, I love it.
 
I love her so much.  Look at that beautiful hair!

Presley is half way to a YEAR!

I am so happy we did the life package with Pixel Perfect Memory Photography for Presley.  It is so true that babies change so fast.  Every time we get new pictures done, she looks completely different than the last.  These pictures were taken just a few days after her birthday.  I wanted to do some candid shots with the girls in our bedroom.  Kennedy isn't so great at posing so this worked out better.  Miranda is so great as always, so patient and talented.  We even took a few down a hidden road near our house that had some beautiful flowers.  I am sure these will make you smile!

 Our beautiful Presley Rose at 6 months old!
 
She is so kissable.
 

 Oh my goodness, I love her.
 
 Rusty says her eyes close like mine when she smiles big!
 
 Up like a big girl!

Little Piggies
 
 Happy Girl!
 
 The tongue face...
 
 Sleepy eyes...sweet lips.
 
 
 These next few are my favorite.  I love candid photos, so perfect.
 
 My baby girl!
 
 Love!
 
 Checking out my ring.  Girl already loves diamonds!
 
Notice Kennedy in the background.  She was getting into everything in our room while we were doing this.  Oh Kennedy. 

 Kennedy missed the memo to smile but I am so happy we got this shot.  My girls!
 
 Yes, there's her nose! 
 
Miranda always makes time to capture Kennedy too.  My little angel.
 

 Picking flowers.
 
This picture made me literally laugh out loud!  There are no words...those of you that really know my girls, will get a kick out of this.  This is the only shot we could get of the two of them because Kennedy wouldn't sit still!  Priceless.
