Pop & NeNa's!

The kids and I jumped in the car and headed out Wednesday (hence the Internet access:)! I was in desperate need for a change of scenery, a little distraction, and some of NeNa's amazing cooking! The kids are so happy to be even if Kit Kat is not.
Splashin'!
Doesn't get much better than this!



WOOOOHOOOOO!

Playing at the pond!


Pickin' flowers!

EJ with her loot!




These bulbs were planted almost 4 years ago! They were used at our reception! How neat is that????











Guyboo!!

This is exactly the kind of pic that WILL come back and haunt a little boy! This would be perfect for say a yearbook or slide show! He is VERY secure in this masculinity:)! He just needs a hair bow....maybe next time.

Whole lot of randomness......

Pics from the last couple of months..... all rolled in to one post!

New Song....

Catchy title, huh???? If you have a sec and are not blog stalking at work:), listen to Find Me In The River by Delirious. Once you get past the flutes it is really good:)! We sing it all the time at our CHURCH, I kind of think we do it better:)!

BABY NAMES!!

We are ready to release them publicly, Josh and I thought about a news conference but decided to announce them on the blog! We have two for sure names, well as for sure as we get! Without Further Ado..........


Herring Charleston Anderson
MaryAlice Carolyne Anderson
Now for the explanations! Herring is my Granny Nina bess's maiden name. Joshua's Step Dad is Charles Wayne so we took some creative liberties and are using Charleston. Anderson is Josh's last name:)! Mary was my Granny Nina bess's mothers name and my PaPa's Grandmothers name. AND the name of one of my most favorite Aunts, Mary. Alice is my Granny Brewer's mothers name. Josh's moms name is Carolyn and here again we took liberties and are using a slight variation. Once again Anderson is my baby daddy's last name:)!
We really like using family names or slight variations, names that have meaning to us. I am also a stickler for using uncommon names ones that are not on THIS list:)
******One last thing MaryAlice is all one word! No spaces! I learned my lesson with Emery Jai ! 99% of people get it and call her Emery Jai, but some people shorten it every single time like that one syllable would send them over the edge! She goes by both names, she calls herself Emery Jai and will correct people on her own!! So that is why we decided to smash them together and hopefully eliminate that issue with MaryAlice!**********

EJ's 3rd Birthday!

Emery Jai had a wonderful birthday, over a month ago:)! We did not do the normal party thing of several reasons and it was great! We spent the day as a family hanging out. EJ got just what she wanted, her ears pierced and hair cut! She looks at least 4 now! She did great! She love showing off her ears:)! At 3 years old EJ weighs 41 lbs and is 42 inches tall! She is VERY tall for her age! She wears a size 11 shoe and a size 5 in clothes.

One Two Three! She HAD to have chinesse food! look how stinkin' cute her hair is!

Here we go........(yes, I cried)


Last pic with long baby hair!



ABOUT TIME!
