Hanging out with some of my faves.

Fat Cats with Ellis.

Ellis and I went to the Fat Cats arcade as part of his birthday gift from Little Billy and me. (Yes, it was a long time coming haha.) What I realize each time I play these fun games is that I am not good at them. Ellis doesn't seem to mind, and we always have a great time.

Afterwards we headed to Arctic Circle for a treat.

I love spending one-on-one time with this sweet boy.

Emmett came over and helped me get out some of my Halloween decor.

All his favorites: spiders, rats, crows, and skeletons.

(And his current fave book is right there on the floor - he especially likes the back cover that shows all kinds of flies, of which he can name almost all of them.)

I love spending one-on-one time with this sweet boy, too.

Time with Reesey is always fun.

Jack is always interested in whatever treat Reese may have in her cute little hands. Looks like she shared it with him ;-)

Another playdate with Reese.

I am blessed to be a Gigi and love these little grands SO MUCH.

Spending time with them is the best.♥

Reesey Pie turns ONE.

Reese's First Birthday

Britt had a family party with a pie theme (for Reesey Pie, her cute nickname). Massive pizza pies from the Pie Pizzaria kicked things off. So so good.

I love Reese's "Sweet as Pie" tee ♥

And that face... sweetest thing ever.

I love her.

Britt had a smash pie (all whipped cream) for Reese to dive into.

Just like every one of my babies, Reese was a tentative smasher.

She may have felt some pressure from all the paparazzi spectators haha.

So. Much. Pressure.

She enjoyed it for a bit...

...until she didn't.

Parties tend to lead to meltdowns at any age ;-)

Ellis was happy to try out the smash pie!

Then we all had some yummy pie for dessert. Take me back.

Such a fun way to celebrate our beautiful Reese on her special day.

I think all that partying wore Grandma Great and Brooks out.

♥ Happy Birthday Reesey Pie ♥

Post post: I had to include this pic of Reese in her mama's puff ball dress:

Her mama at the same age:

Old old post about these dresses here.

Reese's Blessing Day.

 Sunday, March 6

Our precious Reese was blessed.

It was kind of awesome to be able to snap a couple pictures from the loft. Reese was so good, and just took in the faces of the wonderful men standing around her. 

Peep Brielle playing away with the magnetic letters in the background haha.

I loved how some of the older kids watched and listened so intently.

Afterwards we had yummy food.

Austin's mom Judy made the most delicious cupcakes.

We love our Reesey-pie! ♥

"[Days] like these I want to remember."
