I created a....

I created a monster!! J/k Our little lady really likes to wear dress up and she will put on her dress and shoes and then dance around and request that I take pictures of her. I then have to show her all the pictures after I take them! I guess its way better to have a little girl who is a ham and wants her picture taken instead of a girl who gets shy and refuses, so I am happy about that!! And lets face it I love to take pictures!!!

The Big 3-0

Today I turned the big 30. No too excited about it but that's ok, I'm sure its going to be a great year!! We had a fun day! First swimming and then lunch and then dinner and a movie!

Thanks for the cake Mom!!

Tiff and Me :)

ITS A..............

Today was the big ultrasound!!! We actually took Tiffany with us!! She has been saying that she wants the baby to be a girl so that she will "match" and she doesn't want a boy brother. Daddy of course is hoping for a little boy so he can get started on his basketball team!

And its a BOY!!!

Tiffany was super cute when they said it was a boy, she said "So I'm gonna be a big sister!!!" She wasn't even a little upset that its a boy.

Tiff showing off the pic that shows the "boy part"
And of course a family pic!! We had to set the timer and set the camera on Brandons car so its not that great of a pic but I had to document the moment :)

We are super excited that we are finally going to have baby #2 and Tiffany can't wait to be a big sister!!!

4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Tiff in her flag shirt!

We got this light up microphone at walmart the other day...she loves it!! It plays an Ariel song (go figure why she picked that one!) and it changes colors. Lets just say its a big hit!
Time to go watch fireworks!

We just went to a near by park to watch the fireworks for free and to avoid the traffic. It was a great time! Tiffany brought her baby to watch with her! She later found some little girls to play with so we got stuck with the baby!

Tiff and her glow necklaces!

The only pic I got of fireworks :)

We had a nice time and Tiffany did really good for staying up that late!

Happy Fathers Day Daddy!!

Happy Fathers Day Daddy! We love you so much!!

Dad had to work today :( so we made him a yummy breakfast!! Seriously its the best french toast EVER! I don't even like french toast and this stuff was awesome! You put this batter on it that makes it puff up and then sprinkle cinnamon/sugar on it!! YUM!!

We love you Daddy! Thanks for everything you do!!!

Last day of Swim lessons!

For the last 3 weeks Tiff has been going to swimming lessons. She has done a great job and she has loved going! The lessons are really cool, they teach life saving skills like learning to roll over onto your back and keeping your head up if you fall in the pool.

Here Tiff is with ALL her Ariel gear: Ariel goggles-check, Ariel swimsuit - check, Ariel flip flops - check!

So I am totally kicking myself. I always bring my camera to take pictures of stuff and as I left the house to go to Tiffanys last swim lesson I decided that I didn't need the camera, I didn't want to look dumb taking pictures (like that has stopped me before...not) so I didn't bring it. My mistake!!! Of course the other mom there brought hers so I wouldn't have looked dumb and who cares what it would have looked like!!!! Grrr lesson learned...I don't care if people look at me dumb for being obsessive with the camera!!!

Anyway Tiff did AWESOME!!! She jumped off that big ledge (several times) and I couldn't get a good pic with my phone camera but you get the idea.

Here she is rolling over onto her back.

Swimming away!!

She did such a great job and we are so proud of her!!

Princesses

Tiff is a big fan of princesses and she arranged all these princesses on the stool and requested I take a picture of them!

Then she asked for a picture with some of her princesses!

Growing up!

Today in the car Tiffany and I were driving to go take her dance photos and she said Mom, I don't want to grow to be 100. I want to stay 3. I asked her why and she said because I will be too tall if I am 100 and I will hit my head on the fan!!

Tiffanys first dance recital!

Today is Tiffanys first dance recital and she is super excited!!

Here she is spinning before we leave

On stage!!
Doing the daisy dance!

Dancing away!

All smiles!

Getting ready for her last dance!

Hugs for Dad!

We got a great surprise that the Bon, Dave and Braylon made the trek out to see Tiffany dance when Braylon was only 2 weeks old! Then they surprised her with a gift...a ballerina barbie!! Tiffany loves it!! Thanks guys!!

Giving Braylon kisses!

Her cousins giving her flowers!! Thanks guys they are beautiful!!

Hugs for Grandpa Shipley

Hugs for Great Grandpa

Mamaw and Grandpa (And barbie!)

Tiffany and her BFF (partner in crime) Olivia (and Barbie still)

Tiffany and Bapa (and of course we still can't put down barbie)

Then everyone left and I had to hurry to get to Tracys baby shower and I realized that I didn't get a pic with my little dancer and thankfully Jenn hadn't left yet and stopped and took a pic for us! Thanks Jenn!!

The dance recital was painfully long and Tiffanys little group was almost last but we still had a great time and we are super proud of our little dancer!!

Thanks for coming everybody!!

Ham

Our little princess has turned into quite the little ham. She loves having her picture taken (can't imagine why) so I get to take a lot of pictures of her :)

Peaches!

Its May and that means peach picking time!! We actually went earlier this month but the peaches weren't ripe yet so we had to come back. Dad had to work this time but Bapa came with us!

Tiffany LOVES picking and eating the peaches! What is super cool is you can eat as many as you want while you pick :)

Tiff found a basket and put it to good use!
Testing out the merchandise!

Tiffany and Bapa!

All done and it was already super hot!!

We had a blast!! Can't wait for next year!

He is HERE!!

Baby Braylon is here!! He is super cute and just perfect!! We couldn't wait to go visit Bonnie, David and Braylon at the hospital!

Daddy, Mommy, and Braylon
A group shot :)

We couldn't be any happier for Bonnie and David!!! Welcome to the world baby Braylon!!

Tiffanys last day of school

Today is Tiffanys last day of preschool. I don't think she really understands that she won't be going back.

All the kids did a little program for the parents. The little boy in the teal shirt is her little boyfriend Rustin.
Tiff going to get her graduation diploma :)
With her diploma

With her two teachers Mrs Alleman and Mrs Freeman! She has really loved going to preschool everyday and she had some awesome teachers! I know she is really going to miss it.
