Rawlings Baptism Weekend

Rawlings was baptised last weekend and I felt so incredibly loved that my whole family flew up to Virginia to be part of the weekend. We have had a very ruff few weeks and it was just what we needed. It was a fun, sentimental, memory filled weekend. Prepare yourself I took 200 pictures through out the weekend and did my best to narrow it down, BUT there are still a TON.

Taylor would only allow Wade to put her swimsuit on. She had a small inappropriate cousinly love for him

Poor William! This was literally as high as his hands could go. He was such a good sport and didn't even complain. Most importantly it kept him a float

Sweet Wade

I have the best sister-in-law in the world. Sweet Jenny stuck around with me after the weekend with my two adorable nephews. She helped me clean the creek and helped ref some of William and Taylors beat downs....which were mostly started by my daughters lack of sharing capabilities. It was so much fun having them here for a few more days. Thank you, Jenny!!

Happy Fathers Day

Everyone knows how much I adore my husband and I truly couldn't imagine life without him. He is by far the most amazing husband and father that I could ever have asked for. So thank you John for being the better half in our happy marriage.

Happy Fathers Day to my wonderful, loving, committed, devoted, hard-working dad. I have so many of your wonderful traits and I love each and every one of them. 6 years ago was not that long ago, but for some reason my photographers must have been in the stone age. So I camera phoned from my wedding album a few of my favorites....Dad, that is LOVE all the steps I took to get the photos on the blog. To be able to do that was not one of your traits...HA!! BUT if the camera had broken you would have fixed it! I love you and feel so incredibly blessed to call you my dad.

Birthday Celebrations

These pictures are a tad bit tardy. We went to Richmond towards the end of May to celebrate John, GiGi, and Clayton's birthdays. As always the Worthingtons hosted a great evening.


If you were wondering....driving with two kids and two dogs is not what I call fun!

Clayton and Rawlings.

Rawlings can't keep his eyes off of his Aunt and Godmother Alice-Cole.

Fresh Breaths

Taylor: William your breath doesn't seem very fresh. Let me brush your teeth
William: Ok
Taylor: Sorry that I missed your mouth a few times. Now enjoy that waffle


Please click on the picture so you can see the toothpaste everywhere.
TONS of pictures coming soon. We had a wonderful family weekend at the creek.

Weekend Get Away!

One of Johns very best friends got married this weekend in DC. So the hubs and I had a little weekend get away. I think I was supposed to feel sad when I was saying goodbye to my kids. As I peeled one off of my legs, I couldn't run fast enough to the car. Mama was ready for a mini vacay minus kiddos. We had a great time hanging out with good friends and the Hunt/Murry wedding was gorgeous.

John and I at the Rehearsal dinner which was held at the Sulgrave Club

Our beautiful flower arrangement

Brunch the next day

John and I at the reception which was held at the Chevy Chase Country Club. By far the most beautiful country club I have ever been to.

Some of our very best friends...The Schaafs

The back of the club. I wish I had taken a picture of the front. It was Gorgeous

The wedding party

Davis and Sarah dancing to Crazy Love

Luke (who was another groomsmen and HSC graduate) sang Crazy Love

I love flowers at weddings so I always take pictures of the flowers:) Another table arrangement

My tables arrangement and more importantly my glass of red wine

The cake which sadly I didn't even have. The band was way too good to stop and eat cake

The soon to be Mr and Mrs Wright. We have their wedding in October in St. Louis. Anybody want to watch two calm, quiet kids??? Ok, two things in that last sentence are a lie

Some more of Johns good buddies from HSC

It Wont STOP....

FALLING OUT!! Poor guy now has zero hair in the front, a random patch on the top of his head and some faithful hair at the very bottom. He is sporting a funny looking doo right now, but it doesn't seem to faze him since he is the happiest little baby.
