We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We are so lucky to have such awesome family and friends to spend the holiday with. It was fun having another “first holiday” for Bailey too, we’re running out of them all too quickly. This year we spent with my Dad and step-mom and my sister hosted at her new, first house! She did a fabulous job and the food was all so yummy!
We attempted to get a couple of family photos with my tripod set up and I managed to quickly teach my dad how to use my camera, he did great! Now, these are not the smiley, perfect family portrait that I had hoped for, but oh well, you take what you can get, right? They make me smile and really show our family’s personality


It was an exciting day for B, we managed to get a bow to stay in her hair! Woooo!

This was in last week’s ScrapGirls newsletter. To this day, this is one of my favorite pictures of Tony & Ty.

The theme this week over at I ♥ Faces is Let’s hear it for the boys! This is SO perfect for this week since it’s Father’s day today. I knew exactly which picture I was going to use as soon as I saw the theme. I just LOVE this photo of Tony and Tyson. We are SO blessed to have this man as a Daddy in our house. For those of you that don’t know, he is a stay at home dad (I don’t know how he does it) and he is one of the best daddies out there. While he’s wrapped around Miss Bailey’s little finger, he and his best buddy Tyson have one of the greatest Father/Son bonds there can be.
Thank you Tony, for all that you do for us!

With Father’s Day just around the corner this weekend, I thought it rather fitting that this layout was in the ScrapGirls newsletter on Monday. I’m so lucky to have this man as my husband.

We had a CRAZY busy weekend this past weekend. Saturday we had Bailey’s baptism. We had it at the same church where Amy and Scott had been married 2 weeks prior, also where Tony and I were married, and where Tyson was baptized too. So, this church has a LOT of history in Tony’s family and we were really happy that we were able to have Bailey baptized there as well.
My mom was kind enough to get her her gorgeous baptism dress. I know it’s not the most traditional kind, but if you know me, you’ll see it’s more my style. It was just gorgeous on her and I hope we can find another occasion for her to wear it again.
Here are some photos from the baptism of course!
Uncle Scott and Auntie Carissa were her Godparents
I love this stained glass window at the church
The little princess in her dress
The baptism was held after the 4:30 mass on Saturday night, it was nice to have it be just our family

Time to celebrate!
How the big bro parties
You may have seen some of these on Facebook already, but they’re too cute not to post again.

We finally got some shoes to stay on her feet! LOL
Who are you looking at?
Here’s a pretty good shot of her adorable dress

Thanks for looking!
