Our Move to Marion, AR

Philip's work has asked us to move to Marion, AR. it is a suburb of Memphis, Tn. Lord willing, we will be moving in a little over a week. This is the house that we will be closing on soon.

Vacation in Dauphin Island

We went to the beach with Sara's brother's family in early October. It was a wonderful week
of relaxation. The house that we rented was right on the beach which was wonderful.
We were able to fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean.

New Camera

Our old camera refused to accept batteries anymore, so we had to get a new one, between Isabelle's birthday and our impending trip to the beach, pictures are gonna need to be taken. So we got a new one a had a quick photo shoot with Isabelle. She was more than happy to pose.

Birthday Fun

Isabelle and Parker decided to play superheros on her birthday. Their towels are perfect cause they have hoods to help keep them on. It was pretty cute, but I managed to catch them during a brief moment of rest. But like I said, it was brief.

Isabel le's 3rd birthday!

We celebrated Isabelle's 3rd birthday this past Saturday. We tried to pay a little better attention to what she wanted this year and it was a huge success. We spent less and she loved it more! Hard to believe that she is 3 all ready. Time is flying and she is growing up so much...

She wanted a Mickey Mouse birthday cake. So, while I am not what you might call artistic, I but my best foot forward and the result was not so terrible. She liked it, so that makes it just great :)

Doing the Dinosaur

This post is primarily for the grandparents. Parker has finally started walking and we wanted to share it with anyone who hasn't gotten to see it yet, essentially, anyone who doesn't currently reside in H-WH. He has a bit of a sway back, like his momma, so he walks it the tummy stuck out in front and his booty stuck out in the back. Very cute, I think. He also tends to walk with his arms bent up in his armpits, so he looks a bit like a T-Rex or other dino. He is thoroughly enjoying his new found independence, finding new ways to get into trouble and drive his sister crazy. He is going to be bigger than her and faster than her very soon, and then we are all gonna be in trouble.

Meeting Spongebob!

We got to meet Spongebob Squarepants today at the library. Our camera batteries were out and so the phone had to step in, so not the best photos, but they'll do. I personally thought it was a bit of a disappointment. But Isabelle loved it. She is normally pretty shy around so many kids and in a new environment, but she went right on up to the front and gave Spongebob a hug. She also danced with him and got in a conga line. I was so proud of her. Parker was there too, but I didn't trust him to go wandering off, so he was stuck with mom and therefore, no pics of him.

Random Kid Pics Update

I can't believe how much the kids are changing. Parker is walking all over the place now. Isabelle is becoming quite the little character. They are both tons of fun and I think, pretty good kids. We are having a blast.
Isabelle loves to walk around with her babies, she is so good at talking care of them. Here she is wearing her reading glasses, like momma does, telling her baby that everything is okay.

Couldn't resist taking this picture, he just passes out when he is sleeping, and I think it is so cute.
Here, she is telling me about her tattoo, just like Daddy's. I know, but I laughed so hard, it is sweet how much of a daddy's girl she really is, she wants to be just like him.Their really good buds, and I love that they get along so well.

She loves to pose for pics, so not her mother's daughter.

Graceland, what better way to say I love you?!?

For our anniversary, we decided to make a trip to Memphis, and what would a trip to Memphis be without a meander through Graceland. I am not really gonna blog about it, more of a been there, done that sort of thing, but thought I would share some highlights for those who are fans or are simply curious. Enjoy....
