Happy Blog-iversary to Us!

Can you believe how fast a year has gone by? We started our little blog just over a year ago to keep our friends and family up-t0-date with all of our adventures, no matter how big or small. It's amazing how much can happen in a year! Thanks for sharing in our lives, and stay tuned......this year should be even more exciting than the last!

What's Cookin'?

While preparing for baby, we've heard that one of the best things you can do is freeze several meals ahead of time. That way, once he gets here, we can focus on learning how to parent instead of what we're going to eat for dinner!

We decided that was great advice, so we've been busy cooking up a storm. We've made breads, a few soups, chili, a couple of lasagnas, several roasts, and frozen several pounds of hamburger meat to have on hand for quick meals. It feels like we're hunkering down for an arctic winter, but we know we're going to be so glad we have these meals when we're exhausted!

Cupcakes.....mmmmm

Several of the items we cooked & froze one day

Homemade garlic rosemary bread....missing one piece for quality assurance purposes!

Over Too Soon

For our last 3-day weekend "just us", we relaxed as much as possible! Friday afternoon, Bo had a great time playing golf with his work buddies. On Saturday, we headed to Fairhope to browse the local shops and get our peach tea spritzer fix from Andrees before heading home to watch football. Sunday was a rainy day here, so after brunch and a Target run, we spent the day doing several of the items still on our to-do list. Monday, we grilled out with Bob & Randi and then planted several of the new plants we'd picked up at Lowes. We ended the day lazily sitting on the back porch watching it rain before the FSU/Miami game. It was a great relaxing weekend that went by WAY too fast!

Happy LABOR Day!

We hope everyone has a HUGE Labor Day weekend......we know we will!

Are You Ready For Some Football?

Tonight's the night.......the start of college football season! Our household starts counting down the hours until football season the minute the last game ends, so we know exactly how many hours it is until South Carolina plays North Carolina State. We're Florida Gator fans, but Bo will happily watch any college game.....even Michigan or Ohio State! This weekend will be a full-on football fest, and Tanner will busy herself crafting and working on a few projects while Bo lives it up in front of the TV. Hooray for Bo!

Special Delivery

Since Bo's sister Leigh just had a son in April, we're thrilled to have a nephew so close in age to our own baby boy. Not only is is going to be so much fun watching the two of them grow up together, it also means awesome hand-me-downs!

They recently sent us a care package filled with tons of cute clothes for our little one. There was an entire wardrobe in there.....from footed pjs to onesies and bibs. Our niece Mira even helped out, sending us a super-cute door hanger she had made herself. We loved everything and can't wait to play dress-up!

We can't believe Ben has already outgrown these, but we sure are happy about it! :)

Pregnancy Pic

After so many requests, we've finally posted a photo of Tanner and her growing belly. She's not big on photos of herself, as she'd much rather be behind the camera! This was taken this past week in one of her few maternity outfits, since she's lucky to still be wearing several of her "regular sized" clothes. But at almost 7 months pregnant, there's definitely no hiding the baby bump!
