New pics! (in the words of Toy Story)

I swear I keep telling myself to get better at blogging but let's face it, I probably won't be until Annalise gets older.  We've officially entered the "in to everything stage".  Yay. (NOT!)  I try not to compare the girls but Preslei was never the type of baby to put stuff in her mouth or mess with stuff....psh, Annalise on the other hand, well, if she can get her hands on it, it goes in her mouth or on the floor.  I will say as tiring as it is, it quickly reminds me how big she's getting.  She turned one on April 5th and we celebrated her first year of life with a "bee-day bash" for our "honey".  I'll post pics at some point.  (probably 6 months from now HA!)  Anyways, we had family pics taken and here are some of them. Haven't they gotten so big?!?! :(  

If you live in Cairo, GA or the surrounding area, Elizabeth Gainous Photography does a great job and is very reasonable!

2012 in review (and a photo dump!)

Wow, where has this year gone?!?!?! (oh, and HI again!!!) I mean seriously....I feel like my life has been in warp speed since Miss Annalise joined our family. It's hard to believe that she is almost NINE months old and Preslei will be FIVE in March. Ay yi yi.  I thought that since I haven't blogged in ages that I'd just make this blog a big ol' photo dump as well.

Important dates in 2012 are:

February 11th (weekend)- Went to the beach as a last "family of 3" vacation
February 18th- Preslei's first "Father/Daughter" dance
February 25th- My sweet nephew Caden turned 3
March 17th- Preslei turned 4
April 5th- Annalise was born
April 8th- Held Annalise for the first time (on Easter)
April 14th- Annalise comes home from the hospital
June 16th- My best friend, Ashley became a "Mrs."
July 24th- Annalise had her first real "road trip". I took the girls to Zoo Atlanta with a good friend of mine and her stepdaughter. Needless to say, Annalise was NOT a happy camper.
August 10th- Preslei started Pre-K at CFUMC (her last year at CFUMC :( )
August 15th- Preslei started gymnastics!!!
