The Fair!!

It amazes me every year the excitement that comes with the beginning of the MS State Fair. I am not sure what the allure is but I sure do look forward to it every year.

The boys just stared in awe at all the people, games, rides, and food. As you can see we enjoyed our share of fair food and the petting zoo was definitely a hit. What a great night!

Oxford Fun!!

Had a blast this weekend in Oxford! As you can see from the pictures Graves is looking forward to getting out on the football field some day! By the way, those choo choo trains you see in McNeil's hands go with us EVERYWHERE! He is obsessed. They really are little boys now!

Fun Days at the Park!

Happy Birthday Graves & McNeil!!

What a great weekend we have had celebrating the two most precious gifts Neil and I have received!! Cannot believe they are two!! I love this age! I mean there are definitely tantrums present in our house, but overall this age is so much fun. Although there are parts of these past two years that are a blurr (for example, the first 4 or 5 months mostly due to sleep deprivation), they have produced more smiles and laughs than Neil and I could ever have imagined. It is so easy to get caught up in your daily routine that you can miss the best moments. That is one reason I wanted to do this blog is to be able to look back on all the simple, little moments that I will cherish the rest of my life!!

Anyway, just want to say thank you to Graves & McNeil who have given us the best two years of our lives and thank you to God for these two little magnificent blessings!!

On a less sappy note, thanks to everyone who came to the party!! We had a blast!!

Busy Weekend!

We had a great weekend up in North MS! We got to visit with our new nephew Noah Nelson who is an absolutely adorable! Unfortunately, McNeil was a little under the weather so we could not let all the boys meet just yet.

Then we were off to the Grove for the Ole Miss game. We had so much fun catching up with everyone and cannot wait to go back.

Next, we went to a sprinkler park in Collierville, TN with Hap & Ellie (Neil's parents) that was so much fun and so FREE. I wish we had something like that here in Jackson! The boys had a ball and we will definitely make that trip again.

Thanks Hap and Ellie for a great weekend!!

The icing on the cake for the holiday weekend is that Gustav's outcome was so much better than originally predicted. What an answered prayer!

New Cousin!

Lucia (Neil's sister) had her precious baby boy on Friday. His name is Noah Gray Nelson and he is such a beautiful baby as you can see! Mom and baby are going great. Praise God for another amazing addition to our family!
