Celebrating "Baby T"


So much to celebrate and we are excited to DO SO!  The Baird Family is growing... Lauren and Scott are having a baby boy in November!  So glad that the girls and I could fly down and celebrate his soon to be arrival!  We had the shower at the zoo- it was a hit! Not only did we get to shower Lauren and Libby with love, but we all got to tour the zoo!  Here are a few photo's from the day!

The Hostesses
A special present created by Honey for T's circus themed nursery. Isn't Honey talented!!!




I think there is a loose monkey!


Libby's other grandmother and her "extra" granddaughter.  :)
Hailey will adopt anyone as her own.... I love that about her.

Honey and Aunt Sarah- these 2 have been best friends since they were in 1st grade.  This is the kind of friend we all need!

My sweet girls!  Mattie and Hailey had a blast eating the popcorn, pb&j's, cake pops, and fruit! 
It was a great "kid friendly" shower.

Scott's sweet family was able to make the trip from UC to celebrate with us.

Here we go around the zoo:
1st off- RIDES!!!

Elephants
Hippos

Pandas- OH My!
We loved the day and the special time we got to spend with so many of our favorite people in honor or Thompson!

We can't wait to meet you Baby T!

XOXO,

Catching up... October Fun.

The girls are back in town... 
The Haynes girls headed back to Memphis for a quick visit and a baby shower for Thompson! 
(more on that soon!)

Libby was THRILLED to see Mattie & Hailey! Watching these 3 play together is really neat.  They are all 3 just so sweet.  We are still working on sharing, but they have such tender hearts for each other.  I love hearing them say "I love you" to each other.

We even got to swim for an afternoon before a cold spell hit.  These pool is amazing to say the least.  These girls are going to make tons of great memories here. 



Love those sweet smiles.
We even snuck in a practice round of trick or treating at the Disney store. Libby, M&H were so excited to get all "princessed" up for the morning. 

We loved being around all things princess and having our Honey with us.

Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella enjoyed the visit.



My sweet girls.

 
We even got to ride the Merry Go Round with YaYa.
It was such a fun day!  Another favorite activity was t
"tickling" PaPa!  You can imagine the giggles from these 3.


I am sure they were all very good helpers with the dishes...


They LOVE to be scared... 
Memphis was off to a great start! Time to get ready for baby shower fun!
XOXO,

Ya Ya and Libby take on South TX

Lauren and Libby came down to see Corpus Christi and we had a blast!  We shopped, played, ran, played, giggled, toured the city, jumped, went a little princess crazy, ate good, and played some more.  
Mattie and Hailey sure do LOVE Libby! It is so sweet watching these 3 together.   

B/C flighs are a little cheaper out of San Antonio- we used it as an excuse to see a little of that town too!  I can't say enough how much I love San Antonio.  I love the Riverwalk, the hotels, the boat tour, Sea World, SHOPPING!!!!  It is great.  I introduced Lauren to one of my Mom's favorite restaurants... 

They have the MOST amazing guacamole that they make at your table. 

The big girls enjoying our first, of hopefully many- Girls trip!

After dinner- we look a boat tour.  We all LOVED it!


After that we headed back to the hotel-- for a little ice cream snack and rest.  

We can't wait for Libby and YaYa to visit again soon!
We love you ladies!
XOXO,

Goliad, TX

Evidentally, this city has a lot of history! We had alot of fun on our adventure in the "country".
The "hanging tree" outside the courthouse.

We ate lunch at this very unique restaurant.  It was really good- highly recommend.


Up next- scouting for Daddy's upcoming hunting trips!


We had new adventures riding in the back of the truck with mommy...

learning to zipline!  These girls could have done this for hours!  It was so much fun watching them have SO much fun!







Great family fun day!
XOXO,

1st Visit to the CC- southside!

A few weeks ago, Grammy and Pop came for a visit.  We were able to show them a few of the yummy local restaurants that we have found, the Padre Island beach, and our new house!  I think we all had a blast!



We love playing on the beach! 

Ken and I even got a night out to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary.  I am so blessed to have had 5 amazing years with this man! I truly can't believe all that we have been through, but I am so grateful that we have each other.  I am one lucky girl.  I love you Ken- here's to many more years! 
XOXO,
