Tiny Dancer

Every time Presley hears music, something comes over here. There is no stopping it...she just has to DANCE. We listen to music a lot around our house. We play it loud, and we all dance to it. Thank goodness we have blinds!

I have been really bad about taking video lately, but caught a little of P's skillz on tape. Unfortunately, she'd been dancing  for a while before I thought to turn on the video camera, so she's a little burnt out. It still totally cracks me up though.

*Warning*- if you get motion sickness easily, you might want to think twice before watching this video.

 Without further a do, my tiny dancer doing her thing...

The Big Reveal

It"s no longer Christmas at the Souders' Saga thanks to Kelly over at Three kids, a mini-van and a lot of love. She so graciously offered to give my blog a makeover, and I happily accepted. I love love love it, and am so appreciative. Didn't she do a great job, y'all!?! Thank you so much, Kelly!! Now anyone want to volunteer to give ME an actual makeover?

Bad Mommy

Ughhh, yesterday was supposed to be a fun day outdoors for my little Sweet P. She has been constantly asking to go outside, and finally, our weather allowed for it. I packed up, camera in hand, and headed out.

I brought her to our local park, and let her run wild in a open field. She enjoys this freedom way more than playing on the actual playground. I was having the best time watching her play, and getting lots of pictures in. However, I was so focused on capturing our afternoon on camera that I forgot about some hidden dangers of the outdoors (aka ants). I watched her while she climbed onto a little log behind a tree and started to take a picture when she began screaming. I ran over to her and she held her hands up to me, and to my horror there were little ants crawling all over her fingers. I grabbed her up, and immediately began brushing her off as fast as I could. It was a good thing it was warm out because I stripped her down to her diaper. Poor thing. She got quite a few ant bites, but barely cried.

After another ant check, we got in the car to go home sans clothes. As soon as we got out, she started asking for her "wawa". I handed over her sippy cup, and she leaned back to take a big gulp. I, then proceeded to walk her head straight into the door frame. Awesome. I really wish this is where my story ends, but no. It was dark when we walked into the house, so I walked over to shut the blinds with Presley on my hip. As I was squeezing between her highchair and our breakfast table, I squished her tiny hand.SERIOUSLY?!? Good thing I have a semi tough kiddo. Hopefully, today will go a little smoother...


Here are some of the pics I took BEFORE she was attacked by ants:

This Could Get Bad

Remember when it used to be cool for Mommy's and daughter's to have matching outfits? Well, I'm pretty sure it's not so cool anymore, But....

I did something bad.

And I'm super in love with our ridiculous matchy-matchiness, which could possibly become a problem in the future. Today it's Tom's. Tomorrow, who knows...

The Sweetest Valentine

Here are pictures from Presley's Valentine mini session, which I'm going to have double as her 1 year pics. Sorry for the picture heavy post, but I thought they turned out so cute. Once again, Kelly from Inspired by you photography did an amazing job. Now on to the sweetest little Valentine I know!

Ice Ice Baby

I'm sure everyone has heard about this crazy winter weather that Texas is getting. I was really enjoying it the first couple days, even with a wind chill of -5. No your not seeing things...that did say negative five. However, we are going on day 3 of iced over roads, and I think I might go crazy if I'm not able to drive somewhere. ANYWHERE! If I didn't have such precious cargo tagging along, you can bet your booty I would have been out and about first thing this morning.

Brandon's office closed for one day, which was a miracle. They never close. His boss broke his arm yesterday because he slipped on ice going into work. Ahemmmm...I think someone should have stayed closed a little longer!!! Anywhoo, the small amount of time we had together was nice. Brandon and I did get a little stir crazy and started daring each other to do really odd things, such as running to our fence and back naked. Don't worry, neither one of us did it. We did, however, attempt ice skating on our drive way at midnight. Well, I attempted, and Brandon watched. We also have some amazing neighbors and got all the kiddos together to play, while the Mama's had an adult beverage or 2. Lastly, we turned Presley into a professional D.J. Man, we've been busy while stuck inside;)





(Please don't judge me on the horrible picture quality, thanks!)
