{Savannah + Bryce}

A few weeks ago my sweet, baby sister Savannah got married!! It was such a fun wedding week! Check out the beautiful pictures from Brittany Stover at brittanystover.blogspot.com. Congrats and I love you both!







Here are my cuties! Hayes was a ring bearer and Parker was a flower girl.

{Parker's Dance Day}

Parker attends dance every Monday. It's Kinderdance at First Baptist Church. This class is completely different than her class last year and although she didn't know a single friend going into it she has made many new friends and absolutely loves her class! It's a combination class of tap and ballet.

Last night was their parent watch night and I was throughly impressed that the kids did so well. The teacher used all the technical names for the moves which sounded like gibberish to Zac and I but the kids knew exactly what she was talking about and did the moves as she called them out.




We are so proud of all the practice and hard work Parker has put into dance.




Way to go, Parker!

{9 years of Bliss}

I can't believe that 9 years ago I was blessed with marrying the most amazing man in the world!  I thank God everyday that I was the lucky one who snagged him up.  I can't imagine my life without Zac in it!  He's my rock, encourager, he balances me when I need it most and has always been my strongest supporter!  Thanks for putting up with me Babe!  Can't wait for the next 9 years and seeing all that God has in store for us!

{Birthday Cake with the Family}

After our horse riding adventure, we had all of our grandparents and a few of our cousins over to help us celebrate with some cake!

Parker, you bring such joy and happiness to our lives!  I can't believe it was 5 years ago that you were born but I can't imagine spending a day without you!  I love how you are independent, strong, smart, sweet spirit, a servant, and a friend to everyone you meet! Thanks for making my day brighter and making my job of being a mom so fun and rewarding! Love you!!

A few days after Christmas, we have a birthday party for Parker.  It always sneaks up on me and is here in the chaos of Christmas so I was thrilled when this year Parker chose to invite one friend and go horseback riding! She is obsessed with all things to do with horses so the was the perfect birthday.  The weather could not have been better for the day!

Parker and her best friend Mabry enjoying a game of checkers while we waited for our horses.

Practicing their riding techniques before the ride.

Hayes was dressed the part all the way down to his boots!

Mabry and Parker have known each other since birth and spent much of their time together.  They love each other like sisters.

Daddy and Hayes on their horse Cookie.

Brooke and Mabry rode on a horse named Gus.  He really didn't like to move very fast.

Me, Brooke, Parker and Mabry.

 We had the best time! I loved the time that Parker and I were able to spend talking while on the horse.  We loved looking at all the "nature" but her favorite part was when the horse would trot.  She just giggled the entire time! What a great way to spend a birthday!!

{Christmas at the Scott's}

Christmas Morning after we enjoy some time at our house we head to my parents, BG and Grandad's!  All the cousins are there and it is filled with lots of fun! More than anything the kids just love to be together.  It's a crazy time with 8 kids under the age of 11!

All the cousins...wait...where's Rylie?

There she is! She and Parker love to talk and play!

Colby and Parker both got Zoobles

And the Thomason boys were sent on a scavenger hunt for their big gift...A new trampoline!!

{Christmas morning at our House}

The kids were exhausted from the night before so we had to wake them up so we could get moving on the days festivities.  It's always such a busy day and we didn't want to miss out on all the fun!  Santa visited the kids and brought them each a gift.  Zac and I had some fun stuff for them too!

Parker got a new bike from Santa!

Mom and Dad got her a life-size Rapunzel doll that then tried to ride the bike. 

Hayes got a new train set from Santa! 

It has been a hit at our house!

That is all the pictures we had time for. We just loved spending time relaxing as a family. (Actually, we didn't remember to get out the camera until it was almost all over.) 

{Christmas Eve at the Gladhill's}

We have a wonderful tradition of spending Christmas Eve with Zac's side of the family.  It's such a fun night! We always enjoy a wonderful meal and fun times with the family.  This year was very special because Blake and Sarah flew in from NY.  Now that they live so far away we don't get to see them as much so we soak up every moment we have with them!

Our delicious Christmas dinner...Chicken Parmigiana!

Aunt Sarah and Uncle Blake. Aren't their matching sweaters so cute?

Sweet Hayes.

The best family photo we could capture.  This pretty much sums it all up!  This is our life.

GG and Papaw with Parker and Hayes

Parker's favorite gift, her horse.  She loves horses!

Hayes's favorite gift, his guitar so he can be just like Papaw.

Sarah and Parker in their matching headbands.

Their favorite gift together was this jumbo ball that you can roll around in.  They loved it!

The night ended with a serenade from Hayes.
