New Christmas jammies call for a little photo shoot with my sweet girl. I *may* have gone a little overboard with the Christmas pajamas this year. I can't pass up holiday attire... whether it be for bed or events. It's true... I'm that sucker! You make it, I'll buy it ;) I also sat Joelle down and had her answer ...
Family
Halloween!
I'm not a big fan of Halloween. I like pumpkins, cute costumes, and candy, but I could really do without all of the scary stuff. But, I have a little girl who is really into all things "scoopy" (otherwise known as spooky!). She loves to scream, squeal, and run away frightened. I think she just likes the drama of it all, ha! ...
School Days!
I often get asked how Joelle likes school. Well, I think these pictures say it all...She really does love EVERYTHING about it. She loves waking up to an alarm and cuddling with Papa before getting ready. She even loves tucking in her shirt (to her panties I might add!), and brushing her teeth in the mornings. From the second ...
THE first day :)
Today was the big day... Joelle's FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN! We've been getting ready for this day all summer long! We've been stocking up on uniforms, backpacks, lunchboxes, and school supplies since June... if there's one thing I love it's a reason to shop!!!I'm just going to be real honest here. I had to be at school at 7:00 ...
The Stingrays!
Ohhhh, St. John... the island of our stingray snorkel. I am terrified of stingrays. Jared and I snorkeled with them years ago and I ended up wrapping my arms/legs around a man who was happily married to a woman that wasn't so impressed with me using her man as means to get away from the stingrays. But, I was game for trying it ...
Dolphin Fun!
Our first stop on the cruise was St. Maarten. Jared and I have visited the island a couple of other times and have always loved it. This time we ventured to Anguila to swim with the dolphins. Joelle looks at our picture books from previous vacations and always oohhhss and aaahhhhss over our dolphin pictures. So, we knew ...
My Fishermen!
When I married Jared it was very clear that he was a resort vacationer... golfing, nice hotels, steak dinners, etc. He had never really been camping, hunting, or fishing. And, quite frankly, I was good with that. I'm up for being pampered or relaxing at any time. No complaints here!Well, last week Jared randomly went ...
Happy Papa’s Day to THE Best!
You know that guy that comes in and steals the show, gets all the credit, and heals all pain after a long day with your kiddos? The one who opens the garage door and all of a sudden all activities stop because HE is home? The guy who wrestles before bed, helps get the clothes dirty, and could serve donuts for breakfast every single ...
Joelle’s First Christmas!
Well, Christmas has come and gone in the Lemons' household. We are currently sitting in a cleaned up house, tree in the attic, toys everywhere, and I am listening to Joelle try to convince Jared to let her sleep on the floor of our bedroom tonight :) "But, it's Christmas, Papa... I'll scratch your feet...what do you want...cuddles?"To ...
Christmas Eve!
It's Christmas Eve and I should be sleeping to get rested for tomorrow, but the excitement is too overwhelming to catch any shut-eye right now! I'm kinda hoping that staring at the computer will help tire my eyes :) I can't believe that it hasn't even been a year since we brought our precious girl home with us. We are just soaking ...
