girls night!

it's been so long since I've been out with just girls to have some mommy free time and last night was so much fun! My wonderful friend Stephanie who I work with is turning 29 this weekend and we met up to celebrate her! thanks to my wonderful sister turned aunt who kept MGT last night so I could go! We started the night at La Parrilla and then finished it out at Pints and Paints in Athens, GA (Athens' original art bar!). We were painting "fireflies". This was my first experience with an art class and I was pleased as to how my painting turned out! I can't wait to go back. If you are ever in Athens, please support this local business. The owner Abby is amazing and the place is just plain cool. it has definitely inspired me to paint on my own! Here are some pictures from the night!

fall fun!

John and I took B and MG to the Kinsey Family Farm in Gainesville, GA yesterday for some pumpkin picking, hay riding, goat and cow feeding, fun times! We all have had so much fun and it is so great watching these two interact. I am truly blessed with these three people in my life!

our next stops on the fall family fun train include: Corn Dawgz and Scoutland for a family camping trip with B's cub scout den! stay tuned.

has it been that long, really?

hello dear blogger,

life has changed so much since I last updated. I won't bore you all with the crazy details, but the main reason for all the changes can be explained by this one reason, we fell in love, myself and Molly Grace, with these two handsome boys....

Brayden and John

again, i'll spare you the details, but y'all he's the best. and we are so lucky. God is so good, and Molly Grace loves her "daddy". He is the best example and the best dad. Since the minute he and MG met they have formed an incredible bond and you would never know that he is not her biological father. Just goes to show that in all situations, God's plan for our lives is so much bigger and BETTER than our own plans.

Our family of 2 has doubled and I couldn't be happier. We have spent the last several months having the time of our lives. I have no excuse for not blogging, but I will tell you every minute spent not blogging was spent with my amazing boyfriend, beautiful daughter, and my awesome soon to be stepson.

So, that's pretty much what we've been doing, operating as a family of 4. I wouldn't have it any other way.

MG is now 2! and the happiest, sweetest, and funniest little 2 year old at that.

I'll be better at blogging, if I still have any readers, that is!

unexcused absence

It's been way too long since my last update. Lots of good things going on. While the blog may have be boring lately, this little one it's about is nothing close to that. She's grown (literally) so much since my last post. She is full of personality and every bit as sweet as she is hilarious! Since the reason I can never find time to blog is bc of how many things I have to say, I'll just shut up and provide visual evidence that the blog is the only thing I've been abandoning lately!

Sneak Peek

I promise to have more pictures from our wonderful White Christmas up soon, until then here is a little preview of what our Christmas looked like!
