Hey everyone- I am 25 years old today, can you believe it cause I can't. I feel so much older these days. I guess being a parent makes you feel that way. Maybe that's why you start getting gray hair so much earlier. I hope that doesn't happen to me for awhile!!! Anyways, I have had a great weekend. Well it didn't start off to well. My grandparents planned on keeping Emmalyn for us on Saturday night so that Wilkins and I could go out and celebrate. However, when I woke up that morning I had the stomach bug. Every time I moved I got sick- it was terrible. I haven't been sick in awhile so I was proud of myself- or WAS proud! I spent the whole day in bed while Wilkins watched Emmalyn. Sunday morning I felt a little better so we went into Homewood for brunch at Jackson's Bistro. It was so good- but my stomach was so not ready! After that we came home to recoup! I know Wilkins was disappointed that we couldn't do much... so being the sweet man he is he grilled steaks and wined and dined me on the couch!!! It turned out to be a great night. He and Emmalyn gave me the new Kindle. I love it:) 
So this is the super cute Alabama outfit that Lindsey and Brandon gave Emmalyn. Isn't she just adorable with that no smile, lol! Oh by the way Lindsey, you guys were very sneaky with the already being married a year before your wedding on Saturday, I loved it!!! Congratulations on one year of marriage!!! Emmalyn turns 6 months tomorrow and that is even more astonishing to me. I feel like I just had her...crazy how quick it goes. We take her to the doctor next week for a check-up and another round of shots- how fun:( So today was the first day that she did something on her own. I was laying her down for a nap (she was passed out) and when I moved my hand her pacifier feel out so she lifts her head up and looks for the pacifier pops it in and goes back to sleep..you would have thought I won the lottery. I think it was her birthday present to me. I don't know why that is so exciting but I was jumping up and down! The little things in life are the best, I understand that saying now!
Megan and Lee got married last weekend. The rehearsal dinner was at Satterfields, which was some great food, but Emmalyn was not a happy baby. Her bedtime is at 7:00 and the dinner started at 7:00. So needless to say she was exhausted and mad at me for making her stay up. She retaliated by screaming most of the dinner. Good thing we have such a great family and everyone was understanding and smiled (or attempted too). Also Megan's brother's kids where there too, one is 4 weeks, so that helped. She finally passed out half way through and we made a palate in the corner of the restaurant. Saturday was about the same story. We had to be at the chapel by 3:00 for pictures. Apparently all that posing made a restless baby who decided to act out as soon as the "I Do's" began at 5:00. Leaving me to run out of the chapel in tears too. Welcome to motherhood I hear!!! The reception was nice and Emmalyn was happy to go home early with her Mimi and Go-Daddy! What a weekend...but Congratulations to Lee and Megan, who are coming back from their honeymoon in Antigua. Here is the happy couple from the rehearsal dinner receiving their toasts from the family.
I snapped this picture of Wilkins and Van at the beginning of the ceremony. As I was taking the picture someone told me there was no picture taking allowed...oops...im an outlaw bandit:) Wilkins has this big smile on his face because he is proud of Emmalyn for being good and playing with her toys on my lap...only if we had know, lol!
Hope the week goes well. Love to everyone. Can't wait to show you pictures of Emmalyn in her Halloween costume next week!!!
