I want a Kelly Moore Bag!!!

Okay, so yes I am waaaay behind on posting, but I do plan on doing some major catch up blogging! As wedding season gets under way, I would really love to have a fabulous bag from Kelly Moore to tote my gear in! I have tried a few times to win one in her awesome giveaways but haven't gotten lucky yet! ha I plan on going with the B-Hobo in Heather Grey! Check it out HERE! All of her bags seem fabulous, so I'm sure this won't be my only purchase from her. Check her site out and her blog as well to show her some love! She is an amazing photographer and I can't wait to own one of her bags!
Also, check out my site www.malynsneedphotography.com to see some of my work if you're in need of a photographer in the Upstate, SC! :)

Thanksgiving in Florida

So much to be thankful for! This year has held so many blessings for my family & me! One of the biggest blessings thus far has been God allowing me to stay home with our beautiful girls! I am so thankful for my husband providing for us the way he does and desiring to have me home with them. It was a challenge in the beginning and a total change from corporate work world; however, while there are still challening days here and there, we're getting better at this! ;)
I am thankful for... my Lord & Savior, His grace, my husband, children, wonderful parents, family & friends, our home, my sweet girls' precious laughs, delicious thanksgiving food, ;) and so much more! Hope you all have had a wonderful Thanksgiving and counted your blessings!! :)
This year we spent Thanksgiving with my husband's family in Florida. It was a wonderful time filled with great fellowship and yummy food! The girls really enjoyed playing with their cousins, too! :)
Here are a few quick shots from our Thanksgiving day!

 

 

 

 

Always my Baby

My charming, funny Kaelyn... as I update on all the little changes in Kalli, I reflect back to your baby days too, and how they have gone by so quickly. Look at you all cuddled up with Mommy, not even 1 day old.

 

You've got SOME personality, kiddo! You keep us smiling and laughing, and you are a persistent little thing. You definitely know what you want and once you've set your mind to it, whew.. watch out! You remember EVERYTHING! If Nana says she's bringing you sixlets and we don't see her for 2 months, as soon as we do you ask about those sixlets. LoL You're like that with everything. You are definitely a leader (nice way of saying you are BOSSY! haha) But you are a wonderful big sister...most of the time. ;) You are always my big helper and love to help with Kalli. You bring me whatever I need for her, run diapers to the trash, and you've gotten pretty good at feeding her solids. This turns out to be a mess for me, but you two like it. :) You love to get in the crib with her when she wakes up from her naps so you can read her books and play together. You also love to sing to her...she loves it when you do "Itsy Bitsy Spider" for her. She admires you already and gets the sweetest little sparkle in her eye when you entertain her. You are a special girl and we love you so much! Every now and again you still let me baby you. Occasionally at night you will ask me to hold you and rock...I love these moments. And you always like for me to "tickle" you at bedtime. You will say "Tickle my back, Mommy" or sometimes "Tickle my tummy". This simply means to scratch...if I just rub you will say "Noooo, tickle" hehe It's the cutest! You will always be my baby!

How you've grown! :)

 

7 Months

Kalli turned 7 months on July 18th and I have been meaning to blog with an update! :)
Right when you turned 6 months you started to become mobile by a lot of scooting, and then you mixed in a little crawling, and now scooting is a thing of the past. You are quite the crawler these days! I have some videos I need to post SOON to show everyone just how good you are. ;) You also pull up on everything and have started walking along the couch a little. You just can't wait to get going. You have started waving when we say hi and wave to you. You also give us fives (hehe) your big sister Kaelyn loves this, and loves to say "too slow Joe!" to you!
You say Mama, Dada, NyNy (Night Night)
You have your 3rd tooth coming in (top right) and you are full of the cutest little wrinkled nose smiles!
Here are a few pics below from a shoot we did today to remember your 1st pedicure ;)
Kae and I painted your toes while you were napping. We love you sweet angel!

 

 

 

Our Tiny Dancer :)

Kaelyn went to a little summer dance camp and at their last class they showed us what they have learned so far (in just 3 classes) and a preview of what they will learn this fall. :) Nonny and Papa happened to be in town from FL so they got to come see our sweet ballerina too! She did great. I can't believe how much she has grown! Wow, my baby is a beautiful little girl now. Kaelyn, you make us so proud. You keep love, laughter, and craziness alive at all times! :) We love you!

How cute are all these little girls?!

 

 

 

And here's our sweet Kalli at 7 months :)

Kalli Gets Earrings!

We were in Greenville exchanging a few things at the mall and we walked out right at the place we got Kaelyn's ears pierced a few years ago... Piercing Pagoda. Kae was around 7 months when we got hers done and Kalli is about 6 and 1/2 and we figured since we were there we would go ahead and do it. Luckily I had our point and shoot in the diaper bag so we could snap a few pics. :) Kalli has soooo much hair that I had a hard time keeping it tucked behind her ears so the lady could see where to pierce! LoL Our baby girl did great though... Cried as you can see, but just for a few seconds and she was back to our happy girl!
