Miss Emma Talley

Miss Emma went along the other day with me when I took Brandon & Amanda out

to snap some photos and of course she stole some of the attention away! I didn't mind a bit!

So, here you go!!!! I wished she had smiled and showed off the lack of teeth she has right now!

I LOVE IT!!!! We have lost 4 now!!!!

I love you Emster!!!!

Amanda

Here are a few of the pics I took yesterday of my niece Amanda! She totally didn't want to do this.......NOT!!!!!! She secretly loves it!!!!!! These pics are for her Mom and Dad for Christmas!!!

Hope you love them!!!!!

Brandon

This is my nephew Brandon.... I drug him and my niece out today for a little photo session

Neither one up for it at first.....Or so they thought! You certainly couldn't tell by the

pictures! Brandon, you did awesome! You are a rockstar dude!!!!!!!

I had tons of fun in the freezing cold.....Thanks for enduring the temps with me!

Amanda....I will post your pics tomorrow!!! I love you guys!!!!

Happy Birthday Nicky!!!!

It is so hard to believe that five years ago today this little guy came into my life!

He came in to my life and blessed me with so much joy and love and every time I look at him, I am amazed that he is mine! God knew what he was doing when he gave me Nick....

He knew I would need him at a time in my life that would be the hardest obstacle I would endure to this day! You see...I lost my mother just a few short months later and when I look at him its as if God gave me this Angel because he knew I would need him! So every year, I think of his birth and can't help but think that she had a hand in giving me Nicky....She knew I needed him too!

I love to shower him with kisses and can't get enough of him!

He is such a special little boy and I love him so much!

Everyone that knows him, knows that he LOVES anything that has a BALL in it!

I wish I could see the world through his eyes...Just one day......

Nick Ellison, thank you so much for being my little boy!

I love you sooooo much and even though it isn't cool to kiss your Mommy.....(Sniff,Sniff)

I kiss you when you are sleeping.......And you can't wipe them off!!!!

Happy Birthday Nicky!!!

Merry Christmas

I can't believe that there are only 9 days until Christmas! We have been counting down

the days in the Talley house since Halloween......

Nick & Emma are soooooo Excited!!!! We have had a VERY busy week so far with Birthday

parties and Christmas programs, it will be nice to slow down a bit

and spend time with the kids and family over the next few weeks! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

Happy Birthday To My Beautiful Emma.......

I am so thankful for this little girl! I always dreamed of being a Mommy and she made it happen! I held this little girl for the first time in my arms 7 years ago today and my life has never been the same! I look at her everyday and am so thankful that God allowed me to be her Mommy. She is in first grade this year and I believe everyone knows that the month before she started Kindergarten she insisted on everyone calling her by her "real" name. Emma never missed a beat and has been called Emma ever since. I have to admit...I was very sad! It just made me realize how independent my girl is! This picture was taken on her 1st day of pre-school! I miss these days. What gets me through them is what an amazing girl she is growing into!

I love that she loves my camera as much as I do!

She has the most amazing eyes! I find myself staring at her and she says.....What?????

I tell her everyday how gorgeous she is and Mommy loves to look at her pretty face!

At every birthday of my children, I get sad because my Mom doesn't get to know these amazing grandchildren she has! She would be so proud!

I strive to be the Mom she was everyday and I when I start to doubt it...I look at this face and Nick's and I realize I am the Mom she was!

Sniff...Sniff.......

I want to say Happy 7th Birthday Emma Grace Talley! You will always be Gracie to me!!!

Thank you for coming into this world 7 years ago tonight at 8:30pm! I love you so much and you were the start of this Mommy journey and I am so proud to be your Mommy! I hope you have a great birthday and we ALL love you so much!!!!!
