Our Life These Days...

This morning, while trying to clean up this mess...

My angel was doing this...
and my wild woman was doing this...trying to pick things from her Daddy's garden that she knows she's not supposed to touch (she can now open the back door!)...

and she went to her closet and put those boots on all by herself!

and did I mention going through the cabinets and spraying Pam everywhere???

Oh, and I have already cleaned up Windex that she found and sprayed all in her hallway by her room and the liquid coffee creamer that she grabbed off the counter and spilled all over the kitchen floor!!

Last but not least...I accidentally left the laundry room door open so she proceeded to go "feed Riley!"

and decided she'd have a bite or two herself!

Riley sure appreciates it!

So for those of you with only one child and planning to have another one someday...remember this! The new baby isn't the problem....it's the 2 year old!! This all leaves me saying to myself, "can I please go back to the beach???!!!!!!!"

Beach Bums

We've been here for a week now...

and are loving every minute of it!

Unfortunately the oil hit late Tuesday so I'm glad we got some good beach time in before then. Greer's lovin' some relaxation time himself.

We're headed back home in a few days.

She She & Josh's Wedding!!

Well, I am finally getting around to posting pictures from Shelby and Josh's wedding weekend. Having 2 children is quite the challenge, and I honestly have just been able to find the time to sit down and do this. Right now we are down at the beach with Lollie so having an extra set of hands to help with the 2 munchkins has allowed me to get this done!

Ellie and I went to the Bridesmaid Luncheon at Brewton Country Club on Friday while Greer stayed with MeMe.
All of the bridesmaids and the bride!

G.G. Mama with Shelby and Mom.

Ellie was very well-behaved during lunch and acted like the perfect little lady.

Ellie and me on our way out for the rehearsal.

Rehearsal Dinner...

Shelby looked so pretty the entire weekend!

The Big Day!

Greer made it to the church for pictures too and was a little angel!

I loved She She's dress...it fit her so perfectly.

My little flower girl who did great by the way. She walked down the aisle with me like a champ, and when she got down to the front of the church she proceeded to walk over to the pew in front of us climb over it to get to her Lollie! The plan was to send her to the nursery right after she walked down the aisle so we did, and as she was walking out, she yelled out "cupcake!" Her Lollie promised her a cupcake if she walked down the aisle like a big girl, and boy did she remember. She had the entire church laughing!

The reception was at my parents house in the backyard, and it was beautiful. My parents and my brother Thomas worked like crazy to get the yard ready and did a great job. Unfortunately between keeping up with a 2 year old and dealing with a 3 1/2 week old I was not able to get many good pictures at the reception.

Shelby's cake...

Father/Daughter dance...Dad made us all cry! Momese meeting Greer for the first time! She immediately fell in love. Now both of my children are named after her pretty much! Her name is Eloise Greer Moore so that's where we got Ellie and Greer's names. My dad's middle name is also Greer so it has even more meaning because of that.

Greer made it to the reception for a couple of hours and managed to be passed around by about 25 people probably. Luckily he did great tolerating all of it!

Mallory even made it to the wedding, and Ellie was thrilled to have a buddy.

Words cannot express how stinkin cute Ellie was out on the dance floor. Literally from the moment the band started playing she took center stage and danced like crazy. She stayed out there for 2 hours and was nonstop. I could not believe it! I knew she liked to dance and was thinking before the wedding, "oh, I hope she'll get out there and be that cute little toddler dancing at least for one song." She definitely came through for me!

And this is who she gets it from!

You see...well, and I guess her Poppy too! Rusty, my dad, and my aunt having a blast!

Thanks Poppy for hosting such a fabulous wedding for your youngest daughter and be glad you're DONE! ha! We had an awesome weekend, and I was both happy and sad to have it behind us! I'm just glad we survived. We definitely could not have done it without MeMe's help the entire weekend.

Much Needed Getaway!

We've had a great week...at the beach from Sun-Weds and at Lollie and Poppy's from Weds-tomorrow. I have loved having the extra set of hands around to help with these two, and we'll be sad to go back home but, can't wait to see Daddy!

Pics from She She's wedding coming soon!

My Babies

These 2 had their check-ups with the pediatrician yesterday, and everything went great. I decided it would be "easiest" to just take them both at the same time...Ellie for her 2-year and Greer for his 3-week appt. Thank goodness Daddy went with us because it definitely wasn't "easy!" E didn't have to get any shots this time so that made it less traumatic on us!

Ellie's 2-year Stats: 31 lbs. 10 oz. - 90th percentile

35 1/2 inches long - 85th percentile

Greer's 3-week Stats: 10 lbs. 3 oz. - 85th percentile (I cannot believe he is already over 10 lbs! Well, I guess I can considering how much the boy eats!) Dr. Stone was "wowed" by his growth in weight and said it would be like him gaining 50 lbs in 3 weeks! ha!

21 1/2 inches long - 85th percentile

Ellie and Greer had a visit from their cousins this past weekend and loved every minute of it! MeMe was here for a few days as well and was a BIG help. We miss all of our help around here. We are spending our first week alone as a family of 4, and boy is it crazy!

Mary Mykal and Ellie loving each other!

Aunt She She spent several days with us too, and we were sad to see her leave! 4 more days until the BIG DAY!! We cannot wait She She!!

1st Photo Shoot!

Greer had his first photo shoot last week. He was a little temperamental because he absolutely does not like to be "messed with," but, I know we at least got one good shot!
