Haven't posted in a while so here are just a few snapshots of what we've been doing.....:0)...

Poppy and D....she is doing so many new things but one of her favorites is grabbing your face and "kissing" you.....such a sweet baby girl!
M on our little hike. The girls really enjoy hiking as do we so I see lots of hikes in our future:0)....it is so fun to get out there and explore!
S the little cowgirl. So I found this AWESOME cowgirl outfit for $10....such a deal!!! S just so happened to have country and western day at school so it was the perfect opportunity to wear it.... might be the Halloween outfit too.....just too cute!
Little girls baptism....
M and S and paca and daddy before the father/daughter dance....what fun! Everyone got so "fancy".....it was such a neat night.
Guess who is 6 months???!!!!
After 8 inches....
bye bye curly red locks....we had enough for Pantene Beautiful lengths so that was great. We were going to cut it regardless bc it had just gotten too long and it hurt her to brush it. She is loving her new short do! Very stylish....

Happy New Year! Hello 2010....

SNOW DAY!!! We don't get these much around these parts so these were some fired up little ladies!

Ringing in the New Year with our friends the M's, C's and lots of others! So fun!

Me and my sweet friend!

We decided to do a combo/Happy Birthday Daddy party at the New Year party so we all sang to him! He was leaving for Cabo for work in the days following New Years so we thought this kind of send out would be perfect!

Our little fam! D looks like she is just a little head on here in her little pouch. Happy New Year everyone! Love, The A's!

Santa came!

My sweet baby!

Daddy and M (and Julie!!!) went to the Falcons game and had a ball. Me and S and the baby just hung out.

Here is a picture of the guys during our "C-A-S" Christmas day Family Feud game. Of course, the girls won! It was so fun! The kids and Gigi work so hard on their little "play" for each Christmas day. This year it was family feud with cute little "commercials" that the kids performed. So cute!

Gigi, Poppy and all the kiddo's

S got her first real American Girl Doll!!! It is one that looks like her- curly red hair and blue eyes- she was soooooooo excited!

Baby girl got an activity center from good old Santa Claus- she was thrilled!

Poor S was VERY sick Christmas morning but I did manage to get a small smile out of her. Poor baby!

M was all smiles Christmas morning. What a good guy that Santa is!

Daddy reading Twas the Night before Christmas. This is an A Family Tradition! Love it!

So funny! We "Santa" ed ourselves....

They only had ones with 4 heads so we had to leave little girl out.... this is hilarious! Check out T's moves! Just click on the gooblygoop below and it should pop up....

Guess who's 4 months??

This girl is 4 months old! What a sweetie pie. We are just loving on her all the time. She is sleeping so good and started eating. Her first go was Rice cereal and then oatmeal and today (Dec. 20) we started peas!! She ate them up. I did sneak in some apples first but Dr.C told me to start with veggies- I totally forgot about that between kiddo's!

I love this one. I know it's blurry (thanks Blackberry camera) but this is M and two of her buddies at Breakfast with Santa. These little girls have known eachother forever and have gone to church together forever. I pray that they will always be close buddies!

The girls with Santa. This Santa rocks- so sweet and patient. He has been coming to our church's Breakfast with Santa forever. Love him!

We took M, L and S to see The Christmas Spectacular starring the ROCKETTES! So fun. We ate a yummy dinner at OK Cafe and got all fancied up and headed to the Fox Theatre. AWESOME!

M, L and S all dolled up! We were fancy!

Haven't updated in a while but here we go!

Our little Santa baby! Baby girl can ALMOST sit up in her little bumbo chair (thanks for letting us borrow Wizawes!!)

This year I let the girls do pretty much all of the decorating. Other than all the ornaments (except a few I moved) being really low (heheheheh), they did a great job!

T has grown a beard and I just LOVE IT!!! My handsome hubby! Here is T and baby girl going to get our Christmas tree....

We took the big girls- M, L and S to the American Girl Store and ate lunch and got some cute things for their "girls"- M has Julie, L has Mia and S has Kit. Poor Julies hair gets Crazy because M loves on her so much- so for $10 Julie got a new hairdo and it was worth every penny- they had to brush that stuff so hard! That just means she is very loved on!

I love this pic. When I was little, mom took a picture just like this of me, s and D and now I took this one of R, B and baby girl.

My friend Brittany met us up at the square and she took some AWESOME pictures of the girls. She is so so talented and super sweet. She got some good ones and here a few of them.... This one we're giving Daddy for Christmas... shhhhh! And T if you are reading this.... act surprised would ya?

This one is actually one of my favorites because it is just reality- us laughing well most of us- not baby girl- she is not so happy here.

Love love love this one of my big girls. Jesus- I pray that all 3 of my girls will grow up to be amazing friends who are an encouragement to one another.

Awwwww- love this one of my baby girl and just a quick update on her. She is ALMOST 4 months and is doing amazing. This baby rocks. She is sleeping 10 hours most nights and is still eating like a champ. She does NOT love a bottle though still so she is still my constant little sidekick which I love!!! The girls just love her so much as do we all. She is everybody's baby and we're all just wanting to hold her all the time. She had her first trip to the ER this past weekend but it was just a bad cold so praise the Lord for that!

My gorgeous big girl. This just captures her sweet self- love the missing teeth.

Ahhhhhh S. Love this girl and her sweet red curls and huge freckles.

This one I loved so much it was our Christmas card.

On our trip to Dollywood- we saw BUDDY THE ELF. Ok so "Elf" is our familys FAVORITE movie and not just at Christmastime either. It is funny! SOme of our favorite lines are: "does someone need a hug???", "you don't smell like Santa Clause- you smell like Beef Cheese!", "Goodbye Buddy- I hope you find your dad.", and "buuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrppppppppppp- did you hear THAT??" Oh the joys of laughter!

S at this AWESOME water park we found in Gatlingburg- Wild Bear Falls. We had a BLAST here. My favorite memory is of me and M flying down the water slide laughing our fannies off.

I know this is NOT a good picture at all but I had to capture this. We took the girls to the Dixie Stampede and they got picked out of the audience to "chase chickens" in the show and it was AWESOME and they won. Such a cool memory.

My big girls in front of Dollywood- so fun!

The view from our little condo at the TOP of the mountain. Since I get car sick every time I get in a car (not really), getting to our condo at the tippy top of the mountain up a VERY CURVY road was a challenge every time. It was a beautiful view once we got there though!

The A's at the top of Kennesaw Mtn. I don't think I have hiked up the mountain since I was a girl scout- it was so fun!

The fam on the hike!

This is little girl visiting daddy at his office. I just love the way she is looking at him. She looks like this at him all the time- all 3 of my girls LOVE their daddy. Well I do too. He is awesome.

Just lots o stuff going on...

This was the girls rockstar pumpkins they did. I was very impressed with their creativity and mostly, we just had a lot of fun although S did NOT like sticking her hand in the pumpkin to get the guts out!

Here is my ladybug, my rocker girl and my tinkerbell. What fun!

Love love love this one. This is one of those times where I am so glad my phone has a camera on it because I don't always carry my "good" camera. Love these moments- my small, medium and large girlie girls!

So I wanted to upload a video of M being the mystery reader for S class but apparently it was too large but man was it awesome seeing S's expression when her AWESOME big sister walked in that classroom to be her mystery reader- you would have thought S had seen DORA live! It was truly precious and M did SUCH a good job reading- so proud of my girls.

My little darling. This was a hat that Ms. Holly made who owns my favorite store in Kennesaw, The Painted Butterfly. If you are ever in the 'saw as we lovingly refer to my town- you must go to The Painted Butterfly- that woman is MEGA talented and so sweet. She paints and crochets like you would never believe. I will post pics of the awesome crazy oil paintings she did of my kids. Lordy Goodness- she is good.

Here is S riding WITHOUT her training wheels and even getting started without them. So proud of my red head girl!
