More Wolfpack Fun!

I try to remember to take my real camera to the football games but usually forget it or forget to take it out of the car.  Here are a few more pics from the 2013 football season....

8 months old!

Ansley turned 8 months old on September 22nd!  I am so amazed at how fast this first year is flying by.  I can't believe that in a few short months we will be celebrating her first birthday!

Ansley is sitting up really well now, she is clapping and will say "Yea" when clapping.  She says "ma ma and da da a lot and there are some other "words" that I can't quite figure out.  She has 3 teeth now and is working on getting the other top one in as we speak.  She has grown quite fond of mommy and if I am in the room she does not want anyone else.  However, she does fine when I leave her with others which is nice.  She is really into her toys now and knows what she wants.  She LOVES my cell phone and if it gets taken away she is not a happy camper. 

Ansley is eating 2 meals a day plus her bottles.  She is a descent eater and is more curious about "real" food.  We have started introducing some softer food, like nurti gran bars and she really likes those.  She loves her bottle and I fear she will have a hard time parting with it. 

As far as sleeping goes, she goes down around 7-7:30pm.  For some reason she has started waking up one time every night...I am hoping that will end real soon.  She is still sleeping great during the day, 2-3 naps depending on how long they are:)

These past 8 months have been so much fun and Ansley continues to bless our family in so many ways!  Happy 8 months sweet girl...We love you!!

More beach pictures...

Beach Trip 2013

Like previous years, we went on our annual beach trip this month.  We love going this time of year, less people, great weather and cheaper prices:)  We rented a house at Ocean Lakes and Josh's parents and grandmother joined us!

We spent a lot of time at the ocean and only visited the pool once...this was a first for us, normally the boys want to go to the pool:)  We shopped, ate some great food, went to Alligator Adevnture, rode the golf cart(alot) and had some lazy days.  This was the first trip (since we have had little people) that it actually felt like a vacation.  Josh's parents were a lot of help and we are so glad they were able to go with us.

Sandy loves the ocean so she spent some time in the water with the boys, which they loved (and so did I), papa spent lots of quality time with them and grandma got to spend quality time with the kids...all in all it was a great trip! 


Of course this was Ansley's first beach trip and she LOVED it!  When we took her out on the beach she immediately starting laughing and smiling.  She loved the sand and the water on her toes:)  I think I have another beach bum on my hands!

Football Season 2013

Another football season has begun and you can typically find us at an NC State football game on Saturdays:)  We love this time of year, the weather, the tailgating, lots of great food, quality time with family and hopefully a few wins! 

While Parker and Ansley don't attend the games they are usually in their Wolfpack gear cheering from home!

Love my little Wolfpack Family!!

Parker's 1st Day of Preschool!

The day finally arrived...Parker FINALLY got to go to school!  He has been asking to go to school forever and he was super excited when the day finally arrived.  However, he was really wanting to ride the bus with Landon which he did not get to do but he was excited about riding "mommy's bus!"

He had show n tell on the first day and guess what he took?!?!?  You got it...Frosty:)

Parker is in the 3 year old class and has Mrs. Anne and Mrs. Mackey.  They both seem very sweet and I know he will have a great year! 

Funny Friday...

I wanted to blog this so I would never forget the comment Parker made to me:

I said "Parker, why is baby Ansley crying so much today" and Parker's response to me was "mommy, I think she needs Jesus!" 

I thought it was so cute I had to "write" it down so I don't forget!  Love that kid:)
