Easter Bunny

We were at Cool Springs Mall last week and decided to have our picture taken with the Easter Bunny. Lola was very curious about the whole thing, but she did great.

I just love this picture.

Eating lunch with Daddy

Grass! I have not really thought about it, but this might have been the first time she just crawled around in the grass.

We had a brunch play date with some of my girlfriends from college on Saturday. It was so much fun to see everyone and I love being around all the kiddos! They actually all sat still on the couch for this pic, I was shocked.

Abigail & Ansley put on a show for us, they were so funny!

80 Years Young

MawMaw with all her grandkids

We headed to Atlanta a few weekends ago to celebrate my grandmother’s 80th birthday. All her grandkids and great grandkids were there for the occasion, which was all she needed. My cousins, Kristen & I made her a cookbook with 80 recipes for her 80th. She loved it! Here are a few pics from the party we had at my parents barn. Lola was fussy and cranky the whole weekend, but she was a trooper.

MawMaw had plenty of help blowing out her candles

Once the party was over, the kids loved playing in the ice bucket that held the drinks

Lola & Pop

Look at the grip on that carrot bat, we have a ball player for sure!

Last week my Mom headed back to Nashville with us and stayed for the whole week. Lola & I loved having her here, we had so much fun!

9 Months with a BANG!

Lola turned 9 months yesterday. We celebrated with a trip to the doctor and a double ear infection. I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later, this is our first real sickness and it is no fun! The last 24 hours have been rough, but she did perk up around bedtime, so I am hoping tomorrow will be better. She weighs 20 lbs and 15 oz and is starting to be a mess. We have finally starting baby proofing the house, she goes for the light sockets. She is crawling forward, pulling up, walking around her toys and walking from one to the other holding on. It’s amazing how much she can change in a week.

On Saturday, Lola put her work clothes on and headed outside to help Daddy paint. Here she is getting ready

She was a big help

She headed straight for the tire grease on the Bronco and got it everywhere, but she loved every minute of it

Cousins

Last week my cousin Kim came in from Mississippi with her 2 kids, Reece and Kate, for a quick visit. We had a great time playing. Here are a few pictures from their visit!

Sunday Brunch

We had brunch with Andrew’s family last Sunday at Martha’s at Belle Meade Plantation. It was so yummy! We had a great time and I thought Lola did pretty well considering she did not take her morning nap. Here are a few photos from our lunch…

We are all decked out and ready for our first Braves game. We can’t wait for Uncle JC to teach us all things Braves!

What a find!

Last Thursday we arrived in Atlanta a day before my Mom’s surgery and headed to meet my Dad for lunch. On the way, we passed a church and I noticed they were advertising a consignment sale on their sign, so we decided to stop on our way back from lunch. We found a few cute little toys, no clothes and as we were checking out I saw the top of a little kitchen in the corner hidden behind a few cribs for sale. Anyways, it was the cutest kitchen and it had a $40 price tag for all 3 pieces. I just couldn’t get over how cute it was and thought it was in great shape. So I asked a worker about it and she said a lady just brought it in to sale and it was only a few years old and from POTTERY BARN KIDS! SOLD! Once we got it all to my parents, my Mom & I looked it up online. Brand new, the kitchen set cost $699 on sale! Andrew is going to touch it up a bit and we are going to give it to Lola for Christmas next year! Shhh…make sure not to tell her. Here is a photo of Lola and Nana pre-surgery. The surgery went well and my Mom is at home recovering. She is doing great and looks great, I can’t get over how well she has done.

Cousin Beau came over to play with Lola on Saturday. He is so cute and on the go, walking up a storm.

Pop built Lola a nice swing outside at their house. We only were able to play outside one day, who thought we would come to Atlanta and there would be a snow storm…thanks Pop!

Lola loves her new chair, another consignment find
