Won't you be mine?

Who would refuse this sweet Valentine? I sure can't.
His Aunt Kat can't resist him either....and he knows he has her wrapped!

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day Weekend. It snowed between 5 and 6 inches on Friday, so Hunter, WHG, Aunt Kat and myself spent the day playing. WHG was not a big fan of the snow once he figured out he could not push his lawnmower in it. So we watched Daddy and Aunt Kat build a snowman and have a snowball fight through the window.
Watching the snow fall ALL day long was so peaceful. We took lots of pictures of the house, First Baptist across the street and our church, First United Methodist...the churches look so majestic to me. I wanted to be sure and document our surroundings...who knows if we will see anything like this again in our lifetime in this neck of the woods.

Just some updated info on how much our little man is growing...WHG weighs in around 27lbs, he has only grown up since his last dr's appt. He is like 33ins tall maybe? He is talking up a storm and will attempt to repeat anything you throw at him. William can name most animals, but you have to listen carefully to things like elephant to know what he is saying. He also says, "apple...A." He loves our jeep...did you know we were jeep people...turns out we are. Hunter got a jeep to hunt on, but WHG says, "I ride my jeep." He gets a little angry in the mornings now when his daddy says they have to ride in the truck...he would so rather ride in the jeep. One night as we were putting him to bed...he was already asleep...he started talking in his sleep and said, "I ride jeep."
Getting ready to ride the jeep and check all the snow. We have to go and look at all the tractors and "big, BIG! trucks." William is obsessed with Semi Trucks and Tractors.

Here is a picture of WHG with his partner in crime, Grover. They shared raisins in the nursery Sunday at Church and then got down to business playing on the sit-n-spins.

Rigsby's 30th Celebration in Kiawah, SC

So, if you have read my friends' blogs, HERE, HERE and HERE...you know by now that we made a LITTLE road trip to Kiawah, SC to help Rigsby celebrate her 30th birthday just a little early. Hunter and I left Thursday night and headed to the Verdigets' homestead in ATL...it took a long time...we spent 45 mins at a complete standstill on the interstate right outside of AU. So, needless to say, when we finally made it to ATL all the grannies we were meeting, including myself, went straight to bed. We woke up bright and early and had a little play time with one of the cutest baby girls on the planet, Miss Blair Verdigets!!
Then we had to kiss those sweet cheeks goodbye and get on the road. My sweet darling of a husband safely transported us girls, myself, Tara, Jess and Jennifer, all the way to Kiawah. We arrived just in time to set up a little surprise and hide.


Then it was SURPRISE!! And OMG...HOW DID YA'LL GET HERE! Chip!?
That smile made the long trip definately worth it! Now time to get down to the business of visiting, eating and some vino!

Me, Jennifer, Jess and Tara at dinner Friday night.
The boys, Todd, Chip and Hunter.
The scenery we woke up to and enjoyed all day Saturday. The girls also enjoyed some time at the spa on Saturday, but I don't have any pictures to prove it...just pretty toenails!
We had a wonderful time and I love soaking up every single minute I get to spend with these girls. Can't wait to do it again in a few weeks with the rest of the OOC crew!
