We have a crawler!

Rylee made her first attempt to crawl Friday night with the help of a toy that for some reason kept MOVING!! ha

 

 

What a week!

A big THANK YOU to memaw and pawpaw!!!  Friday a week ago they came down from Excel and spent the night so Grey and I could have a much needed night to ourselves.  You know with four kids, those days are few and far between....so when they offered we jumped at the chance!!!  Our all-time favorite restaurant is Outback and without there being one on the Eastern Shore we headed to Mobile....love me some bloomin' onion!!  We were able to catch a movie too!

I'm not sure!

  On Tuesday...very early, Grey left for Georgia for one of  his twice a year meetings with SouthernCare. It was in Greensboro, Georgia at a place called Reynolds Plantation.  With the travel time by car several hours, he was able to fly to Atlanta and then drive.  He was gone until late(10:20) Thursday evening...his flight got delayed TWICE...and get this, because an employee hadn't made it in yet! CRAZY!  I was very thankful for the help I had while he was away!  I knew Nana was planning on coming Tuesday and spending the night but didn't know we would get a surprise visit from Meme too!!!! We were all very excited!  Unfortunately they had to go back the next day and my parents graciously came back to spend another night.  They were planning on staying until Grey landed but...with the delay they headed back after the kids were hosed down and dressed for bed.  Just kidding...they had a bath!  We all appreciated their help, but we were sure glad to have daddy home!

Alright Nana, if you jump we will too!

One-two-three...cheese!

One-two-three...look the other way!

Funnies!

These are just some random videos I thought I would share.  Maddie has Rylee's tickle box going....and well Reagan doesn't think it's funny! 

I am always amazed at what my little man knows...I was standing in the kitchen one day and made some comment in regards to a fire... he then started talking about stopping and rolling...I only wish I had the video then...he got a little more into it the first time!!!  Thanks to Mrs. Kris he now knows what to do if your clothes catch on fire and who to call in an emergency!!!

Trip to Demopolis

This past weekend we headed to Demopolis...Landon and Maddie played "hookie" from school on Friday(oops!) so we left Thursday afternoon.  Since the end of hunting season is quickly approaching, Grey wanted to try and get a few good days in...well on that note he didn't get a thang!  Not to say he sure didn't try.  We had a great visit anyway and Landon got to go hunting with his dad one afternoon.  After all the talk from poppie of what good luck Landon brought when he went hunting(so many deer), they didn't see not one deer!  Landon did however enjoy the bag of snacks as he always does when going hunting, fishing, etc.  I think that may be the only reason he goes...

My two favorite men!

Off they go!

 On Friday night, mimi and poppie took Landon and Maddie to see the movie Yogi Bear...which they thoroughly enjoyed along with the two bags of popcorn and drinks!  Can I say Maddie and Landon LOVE popcorn...forget about the movie (ha)!

Yogi Bear here we come...and poppie being silly!

 Saturday, we were able to enjoy family.  Aunt Katrina and Frank drove in on Saturday to spend a few days. Uncle Brad...we missed you (as he was in Auburn celebrating with the National Champs....war eagle!)   Frank was definitely a little more taken with Landon and Maddie this time as they played well together...at one point Landon had a "little shadow" behind him.....Frank!  And of course Frank got some lovin' from the twins too!

You play music...and I'll just drink my milk!

Hey Landon.....wait on meeeeeee!

 

ok....maybe this wasn't such a good idea!

I think I'll get up now!

 Nanee fixed some good ole' chicken spaghetti for lunch, so Uncle Kenny, Aunt Deborah, Shelby, and Matthew(or Ma-chew as Maddie says) and Amanda, his girlfriend stopped by to eat.  It was Kenny's birthday so Maddie and Shelby got to decorate the cake...well I think Maddie just dropped sprinkles in one place!

Nanee, Amanda, and the twins

Along with ALL the toys, puzzles, trucks, cars, well you name it and it was out....Landon and Maddie drug every stuffed animal into the living room and for some reason wanted to take a picture.  So we did...and some REAL little ones made their way in it also!

 Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and we had to get back to Daphne on Sunday...thank you demopolis for a great visit!

I'm pooped!

Last Thursday Rylee and Reagan had their 9 month check-up...and according to Dr. Breslin "they look great!"  It is hard to believe that nine months have already passed.  Both did very well despite getting a shot and finger stick.  Reagan is still the bigger one...17# 12oz. and 28in long and Rylee is 17# 5oz and 27 1/2in long.  As you can see below they were "a little pooped" when we got home!

Happy Birthday Drew!

This past Saturday one of Landon's little friends, Drew, had his 5th birthday party at Kangarooz.  Landon was so excited.  For those of you who don't know, this place is an indoor facility with nothing but inflatables for them to play on....it was organized chaos with several parties going on.  He had fun playing with his classmates.  Grey and I both went with the twins(who did awesome) and of course Maddie.  It took her a while to "warm-up" but when she did she tried her best to keep up with Landon and the crew!

Maddie and Reagan

Sweet Maddie!

As I have said before, Maddie is definitely the "little momma"!  She was so proud last night that she had gotten her bed "ready for bedtime" all by herself...and of course we were instructed to go see.  After Grey did, he put Reagan there in the bed.  We were in the living room when I could hear Maddie ask the baby if she wanted to read a book.  Reagan must have said yes(ha). Without her knowing I secretly taped it from the door of her room.   The book is Snow White and somehow the three little pigs ended up in it and part of a christmas song from her preschool program.  Enjoy!
