Born and raised in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, I am simply a country bumpkin trying to be the best wife and mother I can be while attempting to figure out this thing called life! I am madly in love with the two men in my life...my incredible husband Craig, whom I married on November 22, 2008, and my beautiful baby boy Hutton, who entered this world on June 3, 2010. Blessed. That's the one word to describe how I feel about my life! I am so grateful for God's grace and unconditional love and owe my life to Him. Thank you Jesus for saving a wretch like me!
When Nana and Pop came to visit for Hutton's first birthday, they brought him a whistle in hopes that it would help him practice blowing out his birthday candles! He got the biggest kick out of that whistle!
For Hutton's First Birthday Party, we had a small celebration at our home with our closest family and friends! We were so blessed to have so many people travel from all over the country to share this day with Hutton. Much to my surprise, Hutton did not enjoy his cake! Up until his birthday, the only sugar I had given him had been the natural sugar in fruits, so a frosted piece of cake wasn't something he was interested in. Instead, after throwing a fit over the cake, he enjoyed several pieces of watermelon! I guess that's not a bad thing! Here are some pictures of the big day!
I am such a bad blogger! I haven't posted anything in over a month! We have been all over the place this summer, enjoying time with family and friends and I just haven't put the time into posting as I would like to! So I'm going to do my best to catch you up!
Summer started with Hutton's First Birthday!! I can't believe my baby is already one!! We spent his actual birthday at the Memphis Zoo with my family and Craig's brother and nephew Wade! It was an absolute blast! Hutton drove his Cozy Coupe Convertible all over the place and loved every minute of it! Mind you it was probably one of the hottest days ever!! Here are a few pics from our day at the zoo!!
Thank you for visiting our blog! I started this blog a couple of years ago to simply share all of our day to day experiences, exciting news, and ministry updates with all of our long-distance friends and family! As time has progressed, it's become something I do just because I enjoy it and at the end of the day, a way for me to unwind! I'm pretty open and honest...BEWARE! From the daily realities of mommyhood, the blessings and trials of marriage, to the simple joys and hardships of just being a woman, my goal is to authentically share my thoughts, feelings, and life with you! Hope you can find some encouragement from it and maybe a couple of laughs! Enjoy!
