Reflecting on 2013... Happy New Year!

January 2013- Landon turned 15 months old in December and had his check up in January. 
He weighed 26 lbs 12 oz.

We celebrated "Christmas in January" with the Clarks like we do every year.
(look how little they both looked!)

February 2013- It snowed! 


We also went to Gatlinburg for the weekend with our family. So fun!

In addition to the snow we got the first of February, we also had a few warm days as well! Tennessee weather is so unpredictable. We took advantage of the warm weekend and spent most of our time on the farm.
(This is still one of my favorite photos of her to date!)

March 2013
We visited the buttercup field in Pelham like we (try) and do every year. It's beautiful!

We welcomed pigs to our farm!

I turned 26!

We celebrated Easter with a stomach virus. Oh it was awful! So the following Sunday we wore our Easter outfits to Church and had lunch at my mom and dad's.


Landon also got his very first haircut! He was 18 months old and hated every second of it. (We thought the sucker would help but it didn't!)


April 2013- Landon had his 18 month check up and weighed 28 lbs 4 oz.

April 15 my Granddaddy passed away. We all miss him so much.

I remember watching Landon and seeing his love develop for tractors! You can read about it here!

May 2013- The kids found a small mud hole in the yard and decided to play in it. :)


We celebrated Mother's Day! I am so thankful for my babies and I am especially thankful for my momma!


Adam and I went on our first weekend getaway without the kids! We went with Dustin and Christina to Atlanta. We visited the Coca Cola Factory, ate great food, and went to a Braves game. (they won!) It was so fun!


This particular weekend in May, I put the kids in their overalls and put them in the garden hoping I would be able to capture "that one shot". I think I did pretty good! I love it so much.

We spent Memorial Day weekend swimming and eating at my mom and dad's. We discovered Landon loved the water just as much as Adalyn so we knew our summer full of swimming would be great!


June 2013- On June 2, Adam and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary.

June 3 was Adalyn's first Gymnastics class! She loves it and is still going every Monday at 4:30.


Landon turned 21 months in June and we continued spending the majority of our time swimming!


We also went on a family vacation to Panama City. The weather was absolutely perfect and the water was so clear. We had a blast!





July 2013- Thanks to mother nature, it rained almost every single day this month. After a few days of having to keep the kids inside, the rain got very annoying. Our 4th of July plans at the lake were rained out, but we made the best of it and spent the weekend at my mom and dads with family, swimming, and food!


Adalyn went to the dentist for a routine cleaning
And she participated in the iCantri triathalon at Church. It was a very hot, beautiful day. She did great! Can't wait until the next triathalon this summer!

(Just LOOK at that face! Determination!)
Landon rode his little bicycle around, too. 

August 2013-  We spent time on the lake! Adalyn even jumped off the top of the pontoon for the first time. She is fearless and continued to jump off over and over again. We also went tubing!


We ate and played at our Church picnic

Adalyn also started preschool! Our Church has a two day a week preschool called "First Steps". Every Tuesday and Thursday. We decided since she was almost 4, it would be the perfect time to put her in a "school" setting. It has been an absolute blessing! Best decision we made. I am so thankful that Adalyn is learning from such loving, caring, Christian ladies!


This picture of Landon just reminds me of how his skin looked pretty much all summer long. 
Mosquitos love his sweet, pale skin.

September 2013- Landon turned 2!
We had a tractor themed birthday party!


We also made sidewalk chalk paint. Such a great activity for the kids!
Recipe here!

We visited our County Fair. I always love Fair Week!
Landon was tall enough to ride all the rides with Adalyn so that was great!


Adam kissed a camel at school! The joys of being an assistant principal!

We also spent a weekend visiting Casey for family weekend at UT. The weather was wonderful and we had the best time!!


October 2013-
We visited the pumpkin patch!

Adalyn's first class field trip was to Granddaddy's Farm!

We met Hunter!

We carved our pumpkins


and we dressed up for Halloween!
 We had Cinderella and Woody


November 2013- 
Adalyn May turned 4! We had an Art themed birthday party.


She also moved up to "Wee Worship" at Church. So exciting!

Thanksgiving!


December 2013- 
Adalyn had her 4 year check up.
We have a 50 lb 4 year old! She is in the 98% in weight and the 99% in height.

My mom, Adam and I took Adalyn to see "Frozen". Her very first trip to the movie theatre!

Christmas Program at preschool. So cute!

The kids in front of our tree.

and of course we celebrated Christmas!


We had such a wonderful (and busy!) 2013! Looking forward to watching our kids grow in 2014. It is crazy to say that we will have a 5 year old and a 3 year old this year! Wow!
