Horrible about updating... sorry!

A bunch of the women in my family decided to throw a last minute trip to Virginia together to celebrate my cousin Cody having twins.  Lots of pictures were taken but here are just a few

my Uncle Bill made these onesie for the babies with his leather shop logo on them!  They turned out so cute, no wonder because he is very talented!

Me and my momma the night she got in

The sisters!
Cody, Amy, and Sara, All  3 are moms now!

Vera and Harper :)



My Chris saw Cody in bed and said" WOW is that your stomach?!"
... answer, no, it was her knees :)

Katie made a ton of sugar flowers in New York and transported them to Virginia in a cupcake carrier.  


Late night baking pictures... or early morning... can't tell

more sugar flowers
Let the baking begin!  Notice our new wedding present from Katie (the mixer)- cute color!!


Amy took Georgia on a run :) or a sprint to each new smell



My pie safe Uncle Bill made me a few years ago.  My most prized piece of furniture :)

I got Cody this recordable book to have my Aunt Patti read for her girls.  Aunt Patti did a great job recording it later on that night!  Thanks PT Patti for making my present special! :)

Georgia was all about Cody.  Very interested in what was going on around her and always wanting to cuddle with her :)


Such a fun shower!

We all had such a great time!  We all were together and really thats all we needed.  I had to say it was a plus having Katie baking all her lovely treats!  Loved having all of you come!  

Now that we are in the new house, we have plenty of room if anyone wants to come visit :)

Again, sorry for not updating sooner.  I'm trying to be better!

a christmas recap

So in trying to catch up with everything this will be somewhat of a jumbled blog...

First off, my friend good friend Vickie, who I met at work invited Chris and I over for her annual Christmas party.  It was so nice to have a home cooked meal along with great friends.

Brittany and her boyfriend David

Vickie has twins that I adore.  Gabe showed me the newest addition to his bedroom :)
An airplane his grandma gave him!  Love this!  Grandpa Clyde would have loved this!

This is one of their cats :) I think this one is Autumn.. or maybe Georgie...  I'm not sure, but he was giving me such a sweet look to let him inside!

Kim and her boyfriend Ryan

Me and Gabe

Roman with his cute smirk
 Christmas Eve Dinner, Vickie also invited us over.  I think she knew it was going to be hard on us being away from home.  Such a thoughtful friend :)

Her husband Matt is itailan.  I guess there is a tradition to have a 7 fish dinner.  We didn't have 7 fish but I think 2 or 3.

 Best meal ever!

First off was this...  so yummy!!!

Vickie and Gabe

 Gabe ended up with the camera after awhile

this one reminds me of how J-Boy used to take my camera and take a bunch of pictures of himself :)


 Vickie's husband Matt









Georgia even got to come over!  This is Zoe and Georgia giving the boys attention

Because we had spent some much money on house stuff a few weeks prior to Christmas, so we decided to get each other meaningful orienments :)

I got him a whale tails that looks like a snow flake

He got me an elephant :)
 One of my recruiters, Tammy, got me this. :)
