Celebrating Gigi!!

We went to Tampa today to celebrate our sweet Gigi or Boodie (depending on the generation). She was so surprised to see all of the friends and family that came to celebrate her 80th birthday. What a wonderful supportive woman she is and we feel so blessed that our children get to know her!!

Paw Paw visits

We love it when Paw Paw comes to town!!! He plays with us and reads to us. He even fed Tate a bottle!! He also got to see Mason play Tball while he was in town.

Do we have 2 mommies living here?

Yes that is Lyla Grace nursing her new baby "Tate".

Lyla Grace has turned into quite the little mommy. She plays babies all day long...and I must say I'm pretty impressed. She loves to help me with Tate and when she isn't helping me she is feeding one of her own.

10 happy crazy busy years and I still love him!!!!

Clay and I have been married 10 years today!! I know everybody always tells you that life goes by quickly but it is soooooo true!!! I am so grateful to say that even though we have had our "ups and downs" I am so happy to be sharing my life with my sweet and loving husband!!! I L-O-V-E you Clay Rein!!!!!

Merry Christmas

Thought I would share some pics from Christmas morning. We went to Tampa to spend time with Clay's family.

What a blessing!!

Tate has been such a blessing to our family!!! I'm not gonna lie the first few weeks were rough!! Trying to care for 3 kiddos is alot harder than I expected. I also didn't expect for Clay and I to do it alone without the help of family...but looking back now (i'm writing this 18 months later) I realize Clay and I grew some much closer. When Tate was 3 weeks old we all got really sick (except for Clay). Tate had his first ear infection, Mason and Lyla had ear infections and really bad respiratory issues and I was extremely sick trying to care for everybody. To top it all off Clay had planned a hunting trip with the guys in our family and he left town for 4 days...he did send his mom down to the sick ward for backup which was the only way we (Clay especially) all survived.

The big 5

Happy Birthday Mason!! We celebrated with a "Playball" party at Princeton Park. The kids played all kinds of games with a sports theme. Mason had a blast!!
