Christmas in July!!

Ashleigh and Ross Wonderful Wedding Weekend!!

Two of my very best friends got married to each other :) this weekend!! Ashleigh Price and Ross Polancich. Brandt and I were both honored to be a part of their special weekend. Before we left for Oxford Ashleigh wanted a picture of Mary Hampton, Ashleigh and me in our matching pajamas... Aren't we cute :) hahaaha

Mary Hampton stayed with Brandt's sister Kara, Brad and our nephew Walker while we were in Oxford. Thank you so much to them!!!!! We left for Oxford Thursday at noon and had the best time. The weekend started with a welcome to Oxford party hosted by the "Gulfport Crew" as Ashleigh's mom, Candy is from the coast and has a ton or fantastic friends that live there! From there we went out on the town to the Library where we all had quite a large time dancing and laughing and just visiting together. Brandt and Ross had a few problems with the buttons on their shirts :) hahahahhaaaaaa

It was a little windy!!!

My college roommate was Allison Pemberton Sala. I have not seen Allison since Brandt and I got married. We have talked and kept in touch but I haven't seen her or seen precious Laney since our wedding when she was 8 weeks old!! She is absolutely the most precious perfect angel child!! She was the flower girl and her precious 5 year old brother, Tucker, was the ring bearer. It was so great to spend the weekend with Allison and Alan!

Here are a few pictures of the gorgeous bride!! She was so beautiful and Ross so handsome. Someone made a comment to me at the wedding They are going to have beautiful children!! So so true!! One pic is of the couple in the car leaving the reception. Brandt and I drove them away to the Bed and Breakfast and took their things in so we have the carry me over the threshold picture! They were this happy and smiling all weekend. It was so much fun to be with all of our best friends and have so many fun people there that love them so much!!

CONGRATULATIONS ASHLEIGH AND ROSS!! WE CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO GET HOME FROM YOUR HONEYMOON!!!!

Around town Saturday

Today we had the first Saturday in quite a long time that we did not have something specific planned that had to be done. I am not just talking about yard work etc it has been parties here or there or traveling. You know me and know that I love doing all of this but I must say we have had a fun day! We got up this morning and just played with Mary Hampton had breakfast and watched her very favorite...Barney....quite a few times! I ran a few errands and after Mary Hampton's nap we struck out for some shopping. We went to Renaissance (the new mall in Ridgeland) and Mary Hampton danced all over the place. She had THE BEST TIME. While we were in Material Girls she made a friend, a dog, named Rudy. She thought she owned this store. As we left she told everyone "bye" and "see ya later" It was so funny!!! She then realized there was music so she danced all around.

We left there and for whatever reason went to Northpark. We were some shopping machines!! Well Brandt has wanted to take Mary Hampton to Build a Bear forever! We have managed to escape this journey thus far but no no not today! I ran in the bathroom and came out and Mary Hampton and Brandt were "shopping around" in Build a Bear. I thought ok we can get a little bear and spend oh maybe at most $20 and she will have fun....Well I was wrong about this. They (Brandt and Mary Hampton) had picked out a dog to build. Of course this little pup was the most expensive animal to build! Anyway we are now the happy parents of "Bella" (also our Maltese name) and the funniest thing happened after the dog was finished. Mary Hampton walked over to some of the clothes and picked up a shirt for "Bella" Yes she is my child, it was Bella's very own Ole Miss t-shirt. Yes she is already a little Rebel!! Hotty Toddy!! This made the money spent at Build a Bear OK

After we finished our shopping we met Poppy (my sister, AliceClaire) and had Mexican for dinner. One of Mary Hampton's favorite things in the world is Guacamole. I know CRAZY but the child loves it! She eats it just with a spoon! She ate an entire bowl of it! She would not eat chicken, a chip, nothing just plain guacamole!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Father's Day!! We are going to enjoy the day at home with Brandt tomorrow and then go see my daddy in Hazlehurst tomorrow late afternoon (after naps!!) Happy Fathers Day!!

Here are just a few pictures from Mary Hampton's birthday party. I am also going to give you the link to my sister's INCREDIBLE photography from the birthday.

New to the Blog World!!

Well, I LOVE more than anything to read all of my friends blogs and check them almost everyday. I have finally decided that maybe it is my time to catch on to the "blog fever". It is truly hard to believe that our little priss Miss Mary Hampton is TWO! It really seems like only yesterday she was born. I remember people saying before she was born "be careful, before you can blink she will be grown" Well during the first few weeks I never believed them but now I truly truly do. I hope this blog can keep our friends up to date with what all goes on in the life of a family of a Coach (Brandt), a mom who can not say no to anyone (me) and our little princess.
