The Power of Friendship

Sometimes in life we are blessed with a life long friend. I found mine in Ashley Joyner Young. I can honestly say we have been thru everything together and yesterday we celebrated her daughter Maci's dedication. Maci and Reagan are only 5months apart and I know that they will be like sisters. The dedication was beautiful and I was so honored to be apart of it. As I sat back with my family and watched Maci's dedication I was reminded of how blessed I am. God has given me so much and I am truly thankful for family, friends, and my amazing husband and daughter.

Photo Shoot

Reagan had her 7month photo shoot on Saturday. I can't belive she is 7months already, she has learned so much in these past months. She was so happy-She smiled in every picture. We enjoyed watching her expressions and laughing at her different poses. Here are a few of the pictures. Even though I want to post all 32 of them I'll only put up a few of the favorites.

Merry Christmas

We had such a great Christmas. Reagan had so much fun she was more involved in the unwrapping of gifts than I thought. She was lucky enough to be given tons of gifts from her Grandparents (All 6)! Even with all the presents her favorite part of Christmas was a Gold Bow on one of the packages. She is the greatest gift of all and I'm so blessed to have her. This was the best Christmas I've ever had all because of Reagan.

Holiday Cheer

On December 12th Matt's family arrived for a visit. We had a great weekend! Wes has been in the Persian Gulf for the past 9months serving our Country, seeing his face made me cry, I am so proud of him. We had a weekend packed with family fun, Mom cooked all of our favorite meals, Reagan played with her cousins, the guys had brother time, and I had girl time with my Sister in law, Mel and my mother in law. It was so wonderful to watch Matt and Wes "play" it has been two years since they have seen each other. There was some football action as well as a little guitar hero. I'm praying Wes, Mel, and the kids are able to move to Pensecola in October. We would be able to have weekend trips with our families. I already miss Emily saying EuEu Matt that's "Uncle Matt" for short...She melted his heart! We took some family pictures on Monday and then celebrated Christmas that evening. They had to head out on Tuesday and we already can't wait for our next visit.

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the time of year when we reflect about what we are most thankful for, this year was easy for me. I’m most thankful for my amazing daughter Reagan. We spent the day at my cousin’s home in Temple Terrace. Like always I ate way to much and loved spending time with my family. Reagan had a lot of first this year she rode on a golf cart, played in a swing, and even spent some time on the basketball court with her Pops. She loved playing with her cousins and even ate some sweet potato's to celebrate the Thanksgiving Day!!!!

The Merry Market

The JLGWH hosted a Merry Market this weekend and it was a blast. It was a two day event where several vendors came to set up shopping booths. There were so many cute booths I don't know which one was my favorite. I was able to pick up some Christmas gifts and enjoy spending time with my family. On Saturday and we took Reagan to have her First picture with Santa. Mom, Matt, and I had no idea how she would react to Santa, but she loved him. She played with his beard most of the time and even smiled for the camera. I know we haven't celebrated Thanksgiving yet, but I had to put these adorable pictures of my little one getting ready to meet Santa for the first time.
