slow and steady wins the race...
This post is dedicated to my big one year old, Samantha Francis. We had a very busy weekend last week, and Sammy's birthday party was thrown in the mix of things..but it was a great time! She got to eat her second sugary, sweet cupcake (the first being the weekend before) and loved every second of it, sucking it right through her teeth. She got tons of great new toys and cute outfits, and we are so very blessed to have an abundance of love and genorosity from our friends and family.
The Stats:
Weight - 20 lb. 4 oz - We broke 20 pounds, wooooo hooooo!
Height - Don't have the exact measurement, but I remember it being in the 85th percentile. Weight was my only concern!
Her growth is right along the line she started at birth and that is great news. She's a little more quiet than her sister, but like her Gigi said, "she will talk when she's good and ready". She's started to stand on her own and it's so cute cause I'll hold her and say "walk" and she plops down, crawls over and gives me a big smile. I'm starting to think she's milking the whole "mom carries me everywhere I need to go" bit. Lol. And that's fine! She can be my little cuddlebug forever!
She's had much fun being one. Celebrated in St. Simon's last weekend and went to Hillcrest Orchards this weekend in Ellijay. Who knows what next weekend will bring?!?!
Looking forward to another year of milestones! Enjoy the pics!
This is from her first birthday celebration with Gigi, Perry, Mallorie, Brett, Harry, Mommy, Daddy, and Cara. She LOVED the cupcake!
The rest are from her party in St. Simon's. The dress was made by Priss Potts just for the special occasion! It's so adorable!!

Birthday Season!!
I'm playing a little catch up here after a few hectic weeks!
Chris turned 27 on October 6th and my Dad hit the big 55. Apparently he doesn't qualify for grocery store discounts yet, so really 55 is not that important, lol. 27 is also a pretty uneventful year, so we celebrated with yummy food and sweets.
My Mom also turned the big 55 on the 19th! And what a great 55 years it's been!
My babies had their birthdays. It's surreal every year to see them get older, and they aren't even old yet. I will be a mess by the time they hit teen years! I'm going to dedicate most of this post to Cara's 3rd birthday party. My Mom captured some great pictures.
I organized a Halloween themed birthday party for her and it was so exciting. All the excitement of Halloween shopping for the party has made me feel like we already had Halloween and I continue to be surprised when I go into stores and see the decor still hanging. Last year I decided I really wanted to do it this way, and glad I tried it once. Probably won't do it again until she's older though. Kids wear A LOT of glitter in their costumes!
We had a blast though! The attendees were very spirited and Cara seemed to really enjoy all the fun had. We had yummy Halloween treats, a witch cupcake craft, a pumpkin pinata and a jumpoleen set up for the kids.
I have lots of pics to share so enjoy! And many more posts on the way!
