Christmas Morning - Post One

Nothing better than waking up at 6:15..... 

to find that Santa had brought you a kitchen & the biggest dump-truck a ONE year old could ask for. 

Grandpa Ashby and Uncle Tanner stayed the night to enjoy the morning excitement with us! 

More pictures to come soon!

Loading up the decorations - we waste no time in this house!
That tree has been tipped over one to many times this year!

Tenn Trip

Here are a few of the pictures from our trip to celebrate the life of my Aunt Jeanie. We had such a great time of worship and praise. At one point, at the service I looked over and Clairana had both her hands held high singing her heart out (her own words of course) it was the strongest I have felt the spirit in a long time. Very thankful we were able to go and spend time with the Davis family.

 We were given this beautiful inn to stay while we were visiting. Pictures do not even show how adorable and charming this place is. What a blessing to not have to worry about a place to stay and to have all of us stay together (14). If you ever go to Franklin, Tennessee it is in a perfect location - walking distance to breakfast and little shops. THANK YOU!

The weather was amazing, the morning of the service it was 70 degrees, then it rained during the service and afterwards we walked out to this.

Christmas with the Grays

We headed out to Grandpa Gray and Gramma Moni's house for an early Christmas

Happy Birthday Nephi Joe!

I had other people take pictures so as soon as those filter down I will post, until then here is one of him with his birthday cake. His birthday party was a huge success but he was a little more reserved than his sister was which completely matches their personalities. 

And this is what we got him for his birthday from his giftcards/money - THANKS everyone! A BIG BOY carseat! He now gets to turn around and see everyone. 

More Pictures....

Aunt Jeanie

Another hard time for the Wallace/Davis Family. My mother's older sister Jeanie passed away after she had been a cancer fighter for ten years. A few weeks ago, I was driving into work and dug into my purse and found a random wrapper to blot my lipstick and I instantly thought of my Aunt Jeanie.

She ALWAYS had random receipts or papers with lip prints. I will always remember how she always hugged longer than you, had fancy lotion and lipstick, loved the Lord and always was looking for missionary moments, she looked for the good in every situation, and provided a great role model to Levi and I in our marriage. She ALWAYS told us that she loved us - every time.

We will be leaving to Tennessee tomorrow morning to spend time with family and friends and to celebrate her life on earth and her life now in the Lord's kingdom. May she be giving Aunt Charlotte a hard time and singing with Grandpa.

FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!

WOW

Today is the DAY.

Mr. Nephi Joe is

ONE

Here is the invitation for his birthday party, I used Tiny Prints (AMAZING)

It is hard to believe it has already been a year, time is just flying by. I love this little man he is always so happy and loves to cuddle. Look at those cheeks you just have to kiss them!

He is full of laughter and LOVES his daddy - Levi and him just laugh and laugh and laugh.

He is completely ticklish and LOVES to eat. He is definitely our little bruit and it works out great because Clairana can be a little rough with him but he just takes it in and smiles.

WE LOVE YOU LITTLE MAN

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THIS NEXT YEAR WILL BRING.

Tyrone & Ashli's Celebration Night!

Tyrone & Ashli were home for Thanksgiving for the LAST time as an ENGAGED couple.

So....we had to throw them a SURPRISE NIGHT OUT CELEBRATION!

It was FABULOUS night full of fun with all the siblings.

Tifni and I had put together a small get together to invite a few of Ashli's friends and got Tyrone in on the surprise so he could help with timing at the restaurant.

Of course we had to get a veil, some pink boas and balloons!

We started at Walt's Pub for dinner and ended up at Nine Irish Brothers for entertainment.
