I think I can...

Today was a very exciting day! We got our first book from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library "The Little Engine that Could". (If you are a parent check into this) I was so excited when we came home and the book had arrived. First because it was something new for Kingston and I to read and also because it came addressed to Kingston Eller in care of Rachel Eller!! How exciting is that!!!! I know it isn't official yet but it will be in 4 days!! WooHoo! We had a wonderful time reading the book. Well I had a wonderful time reading it and Kingston had a wonderful time watching Laney while sitting on my lap. Oh well he will eventually understand!

And speaking of I think I can, I think I can I think I can!!

I knew I could, I knew I could I knew I could!

It's official folks we have a sitter!! Have a great week!

Fall Has Arrived!

The fall weather has arrived and it is wonderful!! Kingston and I went with Rosanna and Dawson today to Gentry's Pumpkin Farm and it was a blast! We went on a hay ride (well minus the hay of course since apparently they don't put hay on a hayride anymore but that's a different story entirely :), attempted a corn maze and got terribly lost, went on a Nature hike and of course Kingston picked a pumpkin! It was such a beautiful day to do such a wonderful fall event and it gave plenty of time for photo ops!

As for Alfred and I this time next week and yes almost this time exactly we will be husband and wife! We got our marriage license this week and I was like a giddy child I am so excited to take his last name and really make our family official! Of course we had to get pictures of us signing the big marriage book!

With that I say have a great week! And I'm sure I'll update once more as Miss Adams!

Big Babies Hold Bottles!

This weekend was a blast. We headed to Louisville on Saturday where my friends threw us a Wedding Shower/Party. Friends I hadn't seen in ages were there and we hung out and played games until about 2:30 in the morning! What a wonderful wedding preparty! And I would have pics of the party but I was having too much fun and I forgot to take my camera out!

So that we could enjoy our party to the fullest my parents met us there so they could baby sit Kingston and Marcie's little boy Gavin! What a wonderful treat for these 2 little guys and of course for mommies and daddies too! I think it is safe to say dad was in baby heaven!

As for Kingston we have some big news! He is officially a bottle holder! It's been a few weeks coming but now he can feed himself his entire bottle. Of course we have to stay close in case he decides to throw it but this milestone frees up a lot of mommies time in the mornings and besides he's just so darn cute holding that bottle!

And all that bottle holding wears a little guy out!
Have a great week! I'm sure I'll be updating with wedding preperation woes as the week goes on!

A little Catching Up!

OK I said I wasn't going to play catch up and I'm not but I am going to talk about the last two weekends! Two weekends ago we went to West Virginia, well technically Ohio but right across the bridge, for a wedding shower my family was throwing me while there we got to hang out with my family. My mom and Kingston! Dad and Kingston and although you can't see it in this picture he is where all the big blue eyes come from! Kingston and my nephew Corey. Corey was born January 22ND so he and Kingston are 2 months apart! The oldest of the grandsons and the first to steal all of our hearts! Chase, he's 5 and started Kindergarten this year! And then there's our little artist Andrew who is 3, and yes this drawing is hanging on my fridge! And one more of Corey just because I can't resist those big blue eyes trying to break out of the play pin!

This past weekend Kingston went to his first ever birthday party. It was his friend Riley's 1st birthday and it was really fun! Kingston met a few new friends while we were there!

This is Marissa! Thankfully she was just visiting from Macon because the two of them got a little flirty! And mommy and daddy aren't ready for that just yet :)!This is John! Kingston loved him! He kept playing peek a boo, one of Kingston's favorite and Kingston was laughing out load and cracking everyone up!! It was a wonderful party and of course I have to end with the birthday boy, Riley and his cake!

Not Catching Up!

So it's been awhile and I'm not playing catch up for everything that's happened over the last few months I'm just going to dive back in and let you know where we are and where we are going and try really hard to blog more! I think changing my background to something I love will help :)! Well Kingston is 6 months old and we celebrated with a 1/2 birthday cake!

Kingston enjoyed it so much as you can probably tell from the picture to the left! We had a great day as we do most days with such a happy little guy! Kingston can do so much these days. He's eating green beans, squash, sweet potatoes (his favorite of course), plums, peaches, bananas, apples, carrots, small bites of cheese when he can guilt us into giving it to him. All of which I make in the food processor. And for someone who hates to cook I've really enjoyed doing this!
He loves sitting in his walker so he's at Laney's level so they can play together. And Laney does so well with him!
He's a great little sleeper! He goes to bed at 8:00 and wakes up about 6:00 just in time to get ready for daycare! We really couldn't ask for much more!

As for Alfred and I we've been planning a wedding which will take place in 18 days!! It's been really fun and difficult all at the same time! The planning part has not been as fun as I expected but knowing that I get to marry such a wonderful guy that I love with all my heart is just amazing! And speaking of that wonderful amazing guy he's in Chattanooga all week so I'll have plenty of time to blog while I'm missing him! That's all for now hopefully I'll get back to this again this week and post pictures from a birthday party we went to this weekend! And thanks once again Sarah for your 1 year post which inspired me to keep up!
