While Daddy's Gone

Cole left yesterday for Afghanistan and I want to take a picture every day of the girls to show him how they're growing. He can access this blog from his phone all the time so this is where I'm going to put them. There might be some other random pictures as I try to catch up of all the pictures I've taken.

The girls hanging out!

Long over-due pictures of Lillie

Well it's been over 6 weeks since Lillie was born and I just getting around to putting pictures up. What can I say, I'm busy and tired and sometimes don't want to mess with the blog. So here are pictures of Lillie Elizabeth Stovall, born September 3rd!

After only 1 hour of labor and 5 min of pushing!

Day 1

Meeting big sister Mackenzie!

Ahhhh sleeping!
More sleeping!

Mackenzie loves her little sister Lillie!

"Sharing" the playmat!

Hogs vs. Dawgs Weekend

Mackenzie wasn't disappointed as the Razorbacks rebounded from last year to defeat the Bulldogs in Athens (31-24). It was a great game that went down to the wire.

However----it looks like little sister, Lillie, will require some reeducation!

Mackenzie says "WOO! PIG! SOOIE! RAZORBACKS!!!"

Lillie has Mommy's back!

Summer 2010!!!!

So it's been awhile since I've posted anything, but I've got several good reasons! We moved from Alabama to Texas and took about a three week detour to visit family in GA and AR. We lived in a hotel for two weeks (a special kind of torture) and settled in our temporary apartment here in TX. I'm also pregnant and tired all the time (it also doesn't help that I've been in pre-labor for about a week). So here are some pictures from our travels and adventures!

Mackenzie is 2!!!!!!

My little girl is two (sniff, sniff). She had a great birthday with lots of friends and fun! We were able to grab some pizza and cake with some of our last remaining friends here at Ft. Rucker! We also got to do some painting (pictures to follow in another post). We did go for Mackenzie's two year old check-up the next day. Mackenzie seems to be following my growth curve which is on the large size, 32 lbs. (95%) and 34.5 in (75%). All in all a good check-up with just one shot. She's right on track for speech and motor development.

Weekend in Pensacola

We're down to two weeks left here in Lower Alabama, so we made a trip to see Aunt Marsha and Uncle John in Pensacola for the last time in awhile. We were able to dodge the thunderstorms to play at the beach and in the yard a bunch!

Playing in the sand!

Sprinkler fun!

Yikes, that's cold!

Reading with Aunt Marsha after a long day!

Mother's Day

We were able to visit my parents for Mother's Day! Below is a picture of 4 generations of women!!!
