Business After Hours

I can take a deep breath today and relax...The Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours was Thursday night and it was a huge success. I feel like I have been planning it forever and I couldn't have asked for it to go any smoother than it did. The weather was perfect, the sunset was beautiful, Justin Hollington did a fabulous job on the food, the Fletchers provided the perfect laid back and fun atmosphere with there musical talents, and tons of people came out and had a good time! David and my mom helped me out so much too...there was no way I could climb in a tree to hang lights or bend down around all those tables to tie rope at 30 weeks pregnant!

Yummy food...the shrimp & grits were out of this world.
I confess I had two martini glasses of them!

Jarrett, Me, Kevin, David, and Andrew

Just before showtime!

Sam's a Swingin'

Sam is getting bigger and bigger each day and the other night he mastered swinging by himself...with some little pushes from his big brother of course!

Finley's Big Weekend

Happy Birthday Finley Grace Bridges!

The boys really got a taste of girl world today at their cousin's 1st Birthday party. Between the hot pink cupcakes, Barbie Dolls, and feather boas, the are begining to learn what it is going to be like to have a little sister.

Finley loved having Happy Birthday sang to her, but not so much a fan of the cake...she ended up with icing all over her and she did not think that it was as funny as the rest of us. She was a doll though and our family sure did have a good time at the party!

Growing

I am so not talking about my kids either...

Emily is definitely taking over and growing like crazy, so therefore my belly is too!

This post is for you out-of-towners that may want to see my prego self... I know that at least two of you do! Only 11 more weeks until Emily Eloise makes her debut via scheduled C-Section on January 22, 2010. The nursery is painted and that is about it, but Sam told me today while we were in there, "Emmie's room is pretty mommy." It was pretty stinkin cute.

12 weeks and very tan

18 weeks

28 weeks and starting to get pasty

Amazing Talent

Yesterday one of my friends, Amanda Holt, launched her website and it is amazing! If you are in the area and need a talented photographer, she is your girl. Check out her amazing work at www.olivertwistphotography.com ...there are some cute pictures of my boys, the twins, cousin Fin and the beautiful Smith family. So proud of you Amanda!!

Happy Birthday David

Happy Birthday David! I am looking forward to what year 3-1 brings.....

The boys dug right into your yummy cake...

My attempt at being an Ace of Cakes. It may not look too fancy, but with chocolate and strawberry layers with chocolate and cream cheese icing, it was pretty tasty.

(I confess it was a box recipe.)

A new tradition

I hope that Kelly & Brian are ready for the new tradition they have started with dinner & trick-or-treating at their house! The boys had a big time hanging out with their buds tonight...no sugar required...they were hyper way before the first bit of chocolate. Above are a few of the highlights!
