~Blessed~

With our busy summer and other things going on, we just now got around to finally blessing Presley.  I was a little worried about how she would behave during the blessing, being older than most babies at their blessings and quite the talker.  But she was an angel as usual!  Everything went great and it was such a special day.  We were fortunate enough to share the day with Trav's cousin Whitney and her husband Derrek as they blessed their darling little girl Adley.  It was so much fun to be with family and friends and eat lots of food!  We were so glad that Chad could be in town for the big day but sad as always missing the Noll side of the family.  Thanks to the modern technology of "skype" I was able to at least kind of feel like they were a part of the event.  Our apologies to them for the view of butts!  Thanks so much to everyone that made it and all of the help!

Favors

Chad got to meet two of his nieces for the first time, and they loved him!
This is one of my new favorite pictures, the had lots of fun with Uncle Chad.  We wish he could be here more often!

I just thought these next ones were funny to see how hard it is to get three babies to cooperate at once!












Presley is so blessed to have girl cousins her age on both sides of the family.  Those girls are going to have so much fun together!




The Guests of Honor

O-H-I-O!  Good Luck Buckeyes!

Sooooo much to post...

I don't even know where to start!

This is back tracking a lot, but a few weeks ago Travis and I celebrated our 5th anniversary!

Then & Now

Wow! Things sure have changed over five years, but it has been a lot of fun along the way. Thanks to Jill & Dan for watching Presley so that we could enjoy a great night out at the Collage. And thanks to Travis for everything! Love you.

For the sake of getting this posted today, I'm not even going to try to get these in any particular order. So bare with me, this is going to be kind of chaotic--Sorry!

Just my cute little girl cuddling with her teddy.
The only way I can get her to enjoy tummy time is to stick a mirror in front of her. She is a little vain.
Love a sleeping baby!
In the funny Halloween outfit my mom got for Paige and Presley. It has a spot to put the baby's picture to look like a jack-o-lantern, but just for fun I put Travis dressed as Dog the Bounty Hunter instead.
How cute are those legs!
More Halloween
She is finally perfecting the art of grabbing and swatting at her toys and is having so much fun with it!

I love that she sleeps with her little hands clasped! Angel.

I hate clipping her nails, hence the big scratch on her cheek!

Another cute Halloween outfit.

We had the chance to go to two great Halloween parties this year that friends put on and had tons of fun!  Thanks to everyone who hosted!

Naughty Nun & the Burger King (aka Sky and Jason)

Ty & Lauren were definatly the most daring at the party, wish I could pull that off!

Mr. Clean & a Roaring 20's flapper (aka Justin & Stephanie)
The Stuki's planned some great games for their party stolen straight from the Ellen show.  It was so funny.  This one is Juno (Meegan) playing the marshmallow game.
Dog & Beth and Ellen & Portia got in on the fun too!
Decorations
The cousins ready for some Trick-or-Treating
More decorations
Cuties
Our costumes for the second party that i ordered were not delivered on time so we had to find a last minute solution.  Thanks to Mike and Jenny for letting us use their Dog and Beth costumes!  (at least we have costumes ready for next year)
Some friends of Justin's brought over their little boy Tennyson and I think he is such a doll.  As you can see from these next pictures he has a little thing for Lily!  I love these!

Open mouth and all!


And as always, more pictures napping with Dad.

Laughing with Mimi.


Cute little buddies (Reese & Logan)

We were so lucky to be able to have Uncle Chase come for a visit!  This was the first time Presley got to meet my little brother and she loved him!  Next weekend she gets to meet Trav's oldest brother for the first time too.  Two new Uncles, so exciting!

She can't get enough of her cousin's exersaucer.
Bugging eachother.
Look how fat she's getting.  At least she's supporting her team though!
Bugging Lily.

Lily can't figure out why Presley always has a toy on her head!
Dog's softer side.

Thanks for coming Uncle Chase.

More games at the parties!

Okay, my apologies if this post bored everyone to death and was totally chaotic, but at least Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, and Uncles get to see a little Presley!
