Tantrums and Tutus

Sweet little Lainie Bug!

"So help me, if you point that camera in my direction again, you will regret it!"

"You can take a picture of me! Look at my beautiful tutu."

"That's IT!! I told you you would regret it!"

"Can I wear this tutu ALL day long EVERY. SINGLE. DAY?"

"Is your blood pressure rising yet, Mommy?"

"I am the picture of perfection at this point, and I know it."

"Oh. MY. GOSH!! If you don't put the camera down now......"

"Sweet, precious, angelic...those are words that describe me, right?"

"WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! There's a word!"

"Do you see what I put up with on a daily basis?"

"Oh, I will give you something to put up with, Miss Priss!"

"Just go ahead and say it, I am your favorite today, aren't I?"

and yes.....these pictures really were taken at the same time!

A Late Night Run!

Who is that Rat and Why Is He Looking at Me?

Our friend, Reagan, turned five in January and had her party at Chuck E Cheese. The girls enjoyed playing games and eating pizza, but were not fond of meeting Mr. Chuck E at all! He walked out and both girls completely lost it! Drama much? As you can see in one of the pictures, Emmie has decided rules are not meant to be followed. She just does her own thing and is happy doing it!

Afterwards, we took the girls to the cutest little yogurt shop in downtown Franklin. The girls were able to pick their favorite frozen yogurt and add whatever toppings they wanted. The topping selection was endless! Lainie and Emmie had a blast, and enjoyed special treat!

Snow Day

We got all bundled up and ready to take pics of our snow day today. As soon as we started sledding down the driveway, my camera battery died. :( Oh well, here were the first three pics I took!



The Shackleford family walked up to our house and the kids played outside. We had lots of fun outside, ate some yummy jumbalaya for lunch, and then hung out inside our warm, cozy house while the kids watched a movie. We are enjoying being snowed in for now. Not sure how long it will be before I get stir crazy!

The View From Here

Here is the view at our house today! So far, we have about 3 inches of snow on the ground and are expected to get about 2 more inches. The girls loved playing in it today, but brrrrrr!! Baby, it's cold outside!

Emmie's 18 Month Pics and Photo Contest

Emmie had her 18-month pics made about 2 weeks ago and her sneak peek is up on Keri's blog here. They turned out SO cute! I can't wait to get them all back as this is just a handful of them. I have to give Christie and Raylin a HUGE thanks for letting us borrow the precious pettiskirt that you will see in the lollipop photos. Adorable!!! Lainie also decided she would take some pictures and wanted to wear the tutu and headband that you will see her wearing. That was totally unplanned, but she wanted to be a "ballerina" so badly, so we went for it.

As you will see on the blog, Keri is having a photo contest on Facebook for Model of the Year. The child that has the most comments or "likes" under their picture will win a free half session. You have to become a fan of her page on Facebook in order to vote. Emmie's photo is number 17 in her photo album on her page(don't laugh....let's just turn this number into a positive thing and win! HA!!) Please jump on Facebook when you have a chance and vote for sweet Em!!

Who Dat???

Watching the game with friends and fam tonight......poor Brett Favre!

Daddy Doughnut Day

Today was Daddy Doughnut Day at school. We got the girls ready and tried to take some pics before school, but we really didn't get any great ones. The funny thing is, it was not because the girls wouldn't look at the camera and smile. For some reason, Justin's eyes are super sensitive to the flash and has a terrible time taking pics without blinking! :) I am posting the best one I could get. If you look really closely, you will see a little bit of his eye! HA!

Lainie's teacher did send a picture from school and as you can tell, her camera didn't have a flash. Bless him! He really does try to not blink, but it doesn't seem to help. The girls really enjoyed having Daddy take them to school. Lainie was SO excited about her Daddy eating doughnuts with her. She is such a Daddy's girl! Both girls absolutely love their Daddy.

Snow Day

I am just getting around to posting our snow pics. Of course, we were a little disappointed with the tiny amount that we got, but Lainie and Emmie had a blast playing in it. It has been SO cold up here, so I was surprised at how long they lasted outside. With temps in the teens, I was not quite as eager to get out there as they were! :)
