One year picture, Baby books, and a trip to St. Louis

I can't get over Emerson's one year picture. I am thrilled with how it turned out! I absolutely cannot wait to get it on my wall!!!!

Oh just munchin on a grammy crack (graham cracker). Coop started calling graham crackers, grammy cracks at about 18 months old, so now we all call them that. Ha!

Went to McDonalds and look who stole my Big Mac! I mean straight up stole it and ate it!

Coop loves to bury BB lately. BB is such a sport.

I finished my baby books!!!!!! Can I get a whoop whoop? I am sooo happy to have that duty DONE! I am not a scapbooking person, so I don't enjoy this type thing. I cherish the final product though! I know it's shocking this picture crazy mama doesn't like putting together baby books, but I just don't. So much information to gather. But now I have them and I absolutely adore them and hopefully my children and grandchildren will enjoy looking at them for years to come!

I have Joel's baby book...look at this gem I found in there. Ugggghhhhh! Is he the cutest thing or what? Don't you see a lot of Emerson in him? I see so much resemblance.

Emerson is dreaming of swimsuit weather :) And so is mama!

I spent last Saturday freezer cooking with some friends. We made 12 freezer meals a piece that will each feed our families twice, so I have 24 meals in the freezer! Phew. So much work but such a great reward. And the best part is the five hours of fellowship while stirring and chopping.

E's first bonfire

Batman is off to school! And let me tell you that his teachers probably think we are poor and don't give a rip about our child's appearance. He goes to school in all sorts of interesting garb that may or may not fit or match on any given day. Yikes. We are NOT going to win a fashion show on Coop's account, but you know what, I have one confident, cool kiddo walking into school each day! Love my strong, opinionated little dude. 

Is it just me or does Emerson look five feet long?! Haha!

Making a house for Molly who is he now calling "Girl." Yes, he is now walking around the house saying, "Hey, girl!" over and over and over. What a nut!

Everyone wants Dada! Woo hoo! Elbow room!!!

We went to St. Louis to meet our new nephew, Hewes, last weekend. He is the sweetest baby! We loved passing him around and squeezing him and feeding him. BB and Pawpaw so graciously kept all three of our kids, so we could get away just the two of us. What a treat! We had so much fun. Thank you, BB and Pawpaw! And thank you, Stephen and Kate, for having us!

There is something so sweet about a paci faced baby. Love this little pip squeak.
