Being a young mom means we met a little early, but I get to love them longer.


Here are some links to helpful posts I have done in the past :)

Grace's gymnastics.

She is doing really well. As you can hear in the video, she is the "leader" of her class. Chris has been taking her, and I stay with Brentley. I think it is good for them because they get to spend some time together since he has been working so much lately. 
They said that she could move up a class, but we decided to let her stay in the same class for one more session, so she will finish out the year in Gym Tots I, then she will move to Gym Tots II in January. 
We decided to leave her in Gym Tots I for now because once they move to Gym Tots II, the parents don't go with them any more. Chris likes spending that time with her, and being able to help her, so we're going to keep it where he can go with her. 

Here's the video of her receiving her ribbon. 

Here she is with her class showing off their ribbons. Grace is the one on the far left. 


Brentley's modeling pictures :)

I finally have them! He's not much for smiling in pictures lately, so there aren't many with smiles, but I think these capture his personality well.


My little man being serious as always.


I think this one captures him perfectly with that little shy smile.


He was wanting to explore his surroundings so badly. He kept messing with the plants behind him. Again, showing his curious side.



I love the pictures with the teddy bear! That's his Build-A-Bear we made him the day we found out he was a boy  :)


And I love, love, love the these two pictures of them together!


These pictures were done by Sylvia Hill over at Shades of Love Photography. If you live in there area, definitely go check out her page at the link below. She takes amazing pictures!

All at once!

I've been waiting for something post. Our life has been on replay it seems. Same thing day after day. Well, I finally have something to post about... three things actually! Lol. I don't want one super long post, so I'm going to post three separate posts over the next couple of days.

I suppose I will start with our trip to the Rock City Enchanted Maize.

Chris is off on Thursdays, so we went today, and it was perfect outside! It was appraoching 70 degrees, and the sun was shining.
We didn't actually do the maize, but we did the other activites they had like pumpkin painting, the cow train, the hay ride, the corn sling shot, and the inflatables. I had heard there was a petting zoo, but apparently they only have that on Saturdays and Sundays. Oh well, we still had fun!

Grace jumping...
 That was the best pic we could get lol.

Daddy helping her with the slingshot.
 She was a little scared of it, but she liked it.
This is what they were aiming at.


Picking out a pumpkin.

Brentley marched right up there and picked out his own pumpkin lol.

Anddd, painting the pumpkins :)




They were both so serious about it lol.

The cow train :)


I thought this picture was funny. I was trying my hardest to get him to smile. It obviously wasn't happening :p

Brentley and I were in the car (barrel? whatever it was) closest to the tractor. He kept pointing at it the whole time. The kid is 100% boy!

Time for the hayride!
 She hopped right up there. She was ready.

Not the best pic of me, but it's the only one of the three of us from today.

She loved the hayride!

My little man and me.

He barely stays still anymore. This is the best picture I could get of him. He was wearing his Halloween themed shirt. It says, "Crawly."

And of course, playing in the dirt. I'm so not used to having a boy lol.

We attempted to get a picture of them together. They either both weren't looking, or...

We got this :p Oh, and she's not screaming. This is her "smiling." She has the craziest fake smiles :p

Grace loved the flowers!
 Thank the Lord she has a girly side! I'd be so lost if she didn't!

I thought this sign was cute :)
