Happy Birthday to me!

 I can't believe I turned 29 this year! Wow...next year will be the big 3-0, but I'm not thinking about that right now:) I had a great birthday week and was spoiled to no end. During the week Landen and I had a date and he took me to Olive Garden. It was very nice of him to think of me and take me to lunch! haha My birthday wouldn't be complete without my usual Lobster Pizza from Red Lobster. It truly was perfect and is EVERYTIME!

 For the last few months I have been in charge and working on a Silent Auction for the Medical Alliance in our county and Saturday was the event! It was so much fun and we raised over $12,000 for charity! Corbin was such a good sport because he hates to dress up, but he got his tux out from our wedding and didn't complain too much! It really was such an amazing night.

 Birthday time!! Landen was excited about helping me open my presents...he thought he had to close his eyes too to be surprised.

 Landen even helped daddy make my beautiful cake!

 Perfection!!! hehe

 Blowing out my candles, was a different story...he didn't really want to help. He just wanted to do it by himself.

 He kept putting his hand on my mouth and would say "No mommy...Landen blow out MY candles!" It was so funny!

He finally got to blow all the candles out and he wanted to do it again and again! It was a great birthday and a great way to start of my 29th year of my life! I have such a wonderful family and friends. I felt so loved!!

9 years and counting.....

 Corbin and I just celebrated 9 years of being married! I can't believe next year will be the big 1-0! A major trip will take place to celebrate that milestone:) I found this super cute idea on Pinterest for an anniversary and I loved it. We don't usually buy eachother gifts for this day, so this idea seemed to be perfect. You buy  how ever many balloons to signify how many years you have been married. Then you tie a a story or memory that you have shared together to the balloon.

 It was really nice to think back on the years and memories we had shared together and relive them.

Corbin loved it and I loved my tulips and tennis lessons Corbin got me. (Even though we weren't giving gift. haha) It's been a wonderful 9 years and I'm looking forward for this upcoming year.

Baby #2

We are excited about adding to our little family! Baby #2 will be here June 29th.

This is what happens when the house is a little too quiet and a little boy wonders into our bathroom.

He puts on my bracelets!

Merry Christmas

This year I got so lucky to have my family come to NC for Christmas! It was so exciting and we really had such a fun time! We spend time outdoors by the firepit. (We had perfect weather! High of 50 degrees)

Malea and Landen liked spending some quality time together too!

I think one of the best parts of being together was all the fantastic food! I have missed my mom and dad's cooking and it was so nice to have it again. One morning I woke up with my parents making omelets, sausage, biscuits w/ gravy, fruit salad (fruit my dad brought all the way from Florida) and hot chocolate. It really was heaven.

We played games, did our gift exchange, watched movies, went to the spa and Sam showed us how to make snowflakes.

Ta Dah!

This was such a fun year with Landen. He was really excited about Santa and leaving cookies for him.

Example below...cheesy smile

Christmas morning

I would have like a picture of Landen looking, but that didn't happen this year. He was so ready to open what Santa brought him for Christmas.

We celebrated Jesus' birthday with a cake!

Landen loved spending time with his cousin Sam!

I hated to see everyone leave! Landen asked where everyone was for a few days after everyone left. He house is sure quiet now, but I wouldn't have changed a thing!

Tree Hunting

Landen was so excited about picking out a tree this year. He loved seeing all the trees and running through them. He found these baby trees and said "These trees are so cute."

I think we left with the perfect tree!
