Generations

This post is about 3 of some of the most amazing women I know and the ones that truly know me, support me, and are phenominal women. 

My sister Allie who is becomming a wonderful, strong, independant woman.  Allie is a senior at Rogers this year and is very blessed to work for a wonderul law firm in Rogers.  They are amazing to her and she is going to be going to school to learn to be a parallegal assistant so she can continue to work for them for many years to come.  Even though there are 11 years between us we are still very close to each other.  I try to guide her (when she lets me) on many situations in life but she is a very strong levelheaded woman herself and I have loved watching her grow over the last 17 years.

My grandma....to describe the woman is easy she is the only person who truly knows me inside and out, never judges me, always there to listen, guides me with the utmost curtious way.  I have been so blessed to share the relationship and the bond I do with my grandma.  She is a healthy 83 year old woman who continues to travel and always keeps us on our toes with her wittiness and her many funfilled adventures.

Last, my amazing mother who is my very best friend and raised me the most amazing values and eventhough at times we did not see eye to eye she always has my back and is there to help in any way.  Our relationship and changed in many ways over the last 28 years and I would be lost without her.  I only hope to share the bond, wisdom, and love she has given to me with my own daughther. 

I love all of these woman for different reasons and treasure each one of them.

Have a great blessed day.

Much Love...Anna

Princess Kallie turns "2"

Two years ago today at 4:09 am my sweet angel Kallie was born.  She weighed 7 lbs and 13 ounces and was 19 inches long.  She only took 12 hours to come into this world and we were so overwhelmed with joy and love when she arrived after a night of no sleep.  This was her several hours after she was born.  I just love the big cheeks and how she looked just like her brother when she was born.  She started nursing right away and was a very good baby.

As her first birthday approached we never thought she was going to walk well the week before her birthday and her party she took off and has not been still since.  Below is a picture of her at her first party and her first year pictures taken by my bestie Kelsy.  She truly captured Kallie's personality and beauty. 

Now at "2" she is a spunky spit fire little girl who basically rules the house and it the love of our lifes with ber brother as well.  She loves to be outside, loves macaroni, chicken nuggets, sweet tea, and grapes.  She is a night owl and does not go to bed until 9 or later every night (she sleeps two hours at school each day)  She started at preschool a little over a month ago and loves it.  She comes home each day talking about all her friends and sings ABC's, Twinkle little star, Wheels on the bus ,and you are my sunshine.  She can count to 10 and talk in complete sentences.  She can basically tell you what she wants or means 90% of the time.  You love pink and your babies are your favorite thing to play with.  You are a big shoe person just like your momma and are so fun to put cute little outfits on.

She absolutely adores her brother and wants to be with him AT ALL TIMES.....he kinda likes her too.

We love you princess and you have made the last two years such a joy.  I cannot wait to see the big kid, teen, and woman you will become.  Happy Birthday baby girl!

Love,

Daddy, Momma, and Gunner

Catch up time AGAIN...

Well it has been since August when I blogged so needless to say I have some things to catch up on.  Gunner started second grade and is doing okay.  I was hoping he would do a little better but I think he is adjsuting and we will work through the issues he is having.  The good news is he loves his teacher and going to school every day...
Kallie started preschool and we love it and the preschool.  She is going to Ms. Michele's preschool and we are amazed at how she has adjusted and loves going to her school every day while Gunner is in school.  We were blessed to find Ms. Michele who was recommended by a friend and we could not be any happier.
In September we had a couples night out where we went line dancing with some friends and we had the BEST time we have had in  a long time.  The place was dead so we had it to ourselves and we got to learn several dances and we are for sure going back soon. September was pretty quite around here other wise which was nice for a change.
Now we are in October and we get busy again...we celebrated Chris turning 34 this year with a get together at the house.  We had a great time with our close friends and family.  I then had surgery and Chris took off work to take care of me for a week.  He was amazing and I enjoyed some much needed time of rest and being with him.  We then celebrated Kallie turning 2 at the park this past weekend and it was great to have a small crowd of friends and family celebrating her "BIG" day.  Here are some recent pics...

Much love to all...
