Christmas with Taylor Swift

We had a wonderful Christmas, and I hope you all did too! We took the boys to Opryland hotel,,,in this picture mommy looks a wee bit tired! :)

Charlies version of a kiss---a nudge of his head!

Not so happy here,,,

daddy and William

Charlie meeting cousin Hali for the first time,,she is so stinkin cute! Charlie was not excited about the grandparents having another baby to hold! Life is tough Charlie--get used to it.

He got a rocking horse for Christmas,,,does he like it? No. well from a distance he does:)

He loves our Christmas card from Trav, Kelly, Bennett, and Jackson. He kept pointing at Bennett,,,we miss you guys!!!

Here is Will over at Nana and Papa's,,,sleeping soundly and collecting gifts:)

Uncle Charlton and Aunt Jennifer,,,cousin Hali

Uncle Whitney painted this for us,,

Ali is due here in about 10 weeks with baby boy Emerson!!

Charlie and Will had Christmas #2 at Grana and Poppers house,,,

who knew a snowglobe could provide 30 minutes of entertainment?

Baby William,,,one month old!!

and this is random, but it must be documented! We were eating at The Palm last week and Taylor Swift sat behind us! I asked her for a picture, and she was so nice to put up with my dorkiness and agree:) And no,,Jake was not there:)

Catching up...

So I have no idea what I was complaining about with one child. Two kids is a CHALLENGE! I think all you moms with 2 + kids are ROCKSTARS!! I now fully understand the importance of the glorious afternoon nap! As we speak, I have 2 babies asleep, christmas music in the background, and some decaf coffee beside me. Its the little things that I love:) I have taken both boys to Charlie's therapy by myself, made it to church one time, and will attempt to tackle walking around Opryland Hotel tonight! (what people do for a picture in front of the poinsetta tree!) I will have both sets of granddparents there too just in case!

This first picture is so random, but this was the sunset here a few nights ago. I just thought it was gorgeous so I had to capture it.

Charlie after church Sunday--his therapy is going really well. He is very close to crawling!


After eating some prunes....

Uncle Whitney and Aunt Ali came to see William. They are expecting their first child, baby boy Emerson in March!

Ali played with Charlie while I got several things done! Thanks Ali!

Gran and Julia came to visit,,he has too many great grandchildren to keep up with!

Mommy playing with her camera..

Finally! A picture with the 2 boys sort of close together! Thank you Mrs. Dixie for the Will's precious outfit and this picture!

First photo

Precious Will during the day,,,all day,,,then at night he is wondering where the party is:)

Charlie playing "Where's Charlie?"

There he is!

Charlie looks a little concerned here,,,maybe even mad:)

So I wanted to document the first picture of the boys together. In my mind, Charlie would be giggling loudly as held his brother with both hands close to him, and maybe even gave him a kiss or two. This is what happened in reality..

At this point Charlie has already pushed William twice...

This is as good as it gets right here folks! Charlie looks like amazon baby compared to Will!

We went to our first family dinner to a local Mexican place. I had to show some serious attention to Charlie just to get back on his good side!

Maybe soon I can get another picture of the boys,,maybe:)

Welcome William,,,,

Welcome to this crazy world William Thomas Clayton! Our newest baby boy is only 8 days old today, and so we are right in the middle of newborn phase! Sleepless nights await us every night,,so I am really looking forward to that part of the phase to be over. Will sleeps all the time except at night time. Typical. For all you lucky moms who's babies slept through the night since day one,,,I salute you (and secretly dislike you:) So here are some pictures from our stay at Baptist Hospital on November 19, 2010.

We love Dr. Trabue!

Charlie is still not sure of William yet, and everytime Will cries then Charlie does too! So, that drives mommy a teeny bit crazy!

Cindy and Hailey coming to visit...

Kandace too,,who also has a teeny tot at home,,

And I cant complain about my two cause Keeley has her hands full with 3!

Simply the best feeling ever..

Thanksgiving day was a quiet one at mom and dad's, but that was fine with me! Charlie cant understand why Boomer doesnt want his puppy!

isn't he precious?

Hopefully this blog entry made sense because I am simply delirious while writing this post. If there are major spelling errors, I apologize mom:)

Next post will include a picture of the boys together! (cross your fingers)
