Lazy Mom!

Reese loves her wagon!

Excited little ELF!!

I have been a bad blogger. there is no excuse for my lack of post's except shear exhaustion. This pregnancy is really taking it out of me, not to mention chasing around an EXTREMELY curious 12 month old! I am feeling much better, the nausea has passed and I am no longer possessed by the devil, my hormones have come to neutral playing ground..although I still do have complete crying meltdowns when the ASPCA animal commercial comes on the television, the one with Sarah McLaughlin, but other than that I am keeping the crying to a minimal..I am sure Blaine is grateful for that! Reese is good, she is running everywhere, she had her first birthday party last weekend, it was so much fun, she had a blast, there is no question as to whether or not she likes cake. Her favorite toy was by far the red wagon that she got from her Nana and papaw, she has had to ride it in the house since it has been so cold outside! She likes to load up all of her babies and sometimes even poor Alex and go for a spin. Speaking of Alex, let me just brag on my very patient Pomeranian, he has been the best pet/ pacifier for Reese, we were so scared that he would totally hate her but they are best friends, he is really a good boy, minus the ear infection and occasional accidents on my floor! I have attached some random pictures, some from Christmas others from her birthday. We got a FABULOUS new camera for Christmas, I feel like I am part of the news crew when I use it, we are still trying to figure it out, so here are some pics that we uploaded from it last night!

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!
