Happy Birthday Reese!

Today my baby turned one! I can not believe that she is already a year old, time has flown by so fast! We have had such a fun few days, we had a wonderful Christmas. Reese got so many presents, she must have been a very good girl this year. My parents came into town along with my sisters and we had a great Christmas night! We had a family birthday party today, and she is going to have a birthday party in January that her friends will get to come to! We woke her up this morning filming her and singing happy birthday, she was so cute and funny, she thinks that she is going to get presents everyday day from now own since her birthday is right after Christmas. We had cake and ice cream and as you can see from the pictures, Reese loves her some birthday cake!

Busted Lip

We had our first major "boo boo" last weekend at my parents house, Reese was walking with her bottle in her mouth and fell down, and busted her lip. It bled so much and scared me and Blaine to death! Luckily she recovered quickly once we gave her a strawberry Popsicle! her battle wound was a puffy blue lip, it is almost better know, but I thought I would still blog about our first busted lip!

Is it the North Pole..No its Hattiesburg

The front of our snowy house!

Reese Refused to keep her hat on, I bet we have an ear infection in our future

My little snow bunny!

This is the park in front of our house, I love this photo, it just looks like Christmas...this picture was taken at 6:30

Another 6:30 picture!

Who would have ever thought in a million years that we would get this much snow, I was totally thinking our news team had lost their minds when they said tornadoes on Tuesday and snow on Thursday...I sure was wrong! Blaine woke me up this morning at 6:30 to see all the snow, I was very excited to see it, however I would have been just excited to see it at 9:00! We woke up Reese and bundled her up the best we could, you typically do not have snow suits in south Mississippi! She was not all that impressed with the snow, she was pretty upset that we would not let her crawl in it! Blaine was decked out in full abdominal snowman gear, camo and all, building the best snowman ever, anybody who knows him knows how competitive he is and will not stop until he is the winner! All of the neighborhood kids came to help my "big kid" with his project and as you can see from the pictures it looks pretty good! He is still coming up with ways to improve his pride and joy! Enjoy the photo's, I will post more as the snowman improves, Blaine is already talking about making him a wife and baby equipped with baby stroller and all, I think he has had to much coffee!

Does Santa live in Purvis?

We think Santa lives in Purvis, and we are pretty sure we were at his house last night! This was the craziest thing I have ever seen, there were sooo many lights! Reese had the best time, she squealed the entire time we were there! The same family puts all of these lights up every year and it takes between 6-8 WEEKS to get them all up, one of the ladies who lives in the house said that last year they had at least 50,000 people come through and look at the lights, can you image that many strangers walking around your yard? These people had some serious christmas spirit and have had it for the last 16 years...it was really fun and we took some cute pictures, although they do not do the place justice!

BIG NEWS

Reese is so EXCITED, she is going to be BIG sister! We are so happy and are expecting our new addition to the Tyrone family in July! What a surprise, we were not planning for this, but are certainly blessed that it happened. They will be around 20 months apart, so it will not be too hectic! Reese can not wait to be the big sister, she hopes it is another sister so she can boss her around! I think it is a boy, the heartbeat was much slower than Reese's was plus I have been a lot more nauseous and extremely mean the last few weeks! Please keep poor Blaine in your thoughts as he is dealing with my crazy food cravings and chaotic mood swings!

Conestoga Christmas

Tonight we had our annual Conestoga Christmas party and we had such a fun...hectic time. I can only describe the event as being in an ant bed of children! There were at least 20 kids there, ever year the kids seem to multiply! You can only imagine trying to get in and out of a restaurant at a reasonable time when you are dealing with 50 people, I felt sorry for our poor waitresses, they worked very hard! Reese was a trooper, she hung in there as long as she could, she was out way past her bed time, she passed out when we got home, we bypassed the bath and went straight to the bed! Such a sweet girl!

Fun at the Park

I have a very hard time telling those eye's no!!!!

These were Reese's new friends, they loved having their picture taken too!

Reese and I met my mom and a very dear friend of mine in Magee today for lunch. My friend Erika Floyd who lives in South Carolina was in town visiting friends and she rode with mom to Magee to eat lunch with me, I had not seen Erika in years so it was so much fun catching up with her! We had lunch and then took Reese to a park in Magee so Erika could take some pictures of her, she is a professional photographer in South Carolina, so I totally took her up on her services! We had so much fun, Reese even made 2 new friends at the park, they loved to follow us around and throw leaves on Reese, they wanted to be in all of the pictures, finally their moms came and got them so we could finish our photo shoot! I have attached some photos I took, when I get Erika's I will for sure post them, hers will be much better then mine!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure did, not to mention we ate a ton! Reese had a great time and got to try several foods that she had never eaten before, however they did not settle well later that night! We went to Jackson to visit with my family since we would be in Hattiesburg for Christmas! We hope everyone has a very blessed and safe holiday season. I have attached a few pictures of Reese to kick off the holiday season. She was at her nana and papaw's house and they took these!
