Snapshots...

Here are some random snapshots of our life at home, on the go, playing, eating, sleeping...and just being us. Some of my favorite moments pop up at the strangest times! 


Tinley's recent set up of all her "babies" going to a wedding...starting the wedding planning early. 


Springfest at our school ...Barbie rode the pony with Tinley.


And danced...I think Barbie is not meeting the school dress code. We will have to dress her more appropriately next time.


Parker attempting a flip (attempting)


I'm not sure why but the cake walk always seems very exciting to me. Here is Tinley participating...but it was me who brought home the cake! Just what the Bullis family needed:)


Rainy day pics...the kids are always excited for some "puddle jumping."






Our little greeters at church. Hopefully people did not mind the extra 10 seconds it took to seperate each bulletin!


Parker's baseball team was supposed to go out on the field with the Charlotte Knights today. We made it all the way out there and they waited a little while to cancel the game. Meanwhile we met our weatherman, Larry Sprinkle.



Parker is a big fan and enjoyed giving the weather report over and over- "it just keeps raining and raining!"


No game today- we'll have to save that for another (hopefully sunnier) day.


Some other of my random favorites...Parker reading on the way to his baseball game. Exercise your brain...exercise your body. I like it!


And a sleepy...we fell asleep in our clothes kind of day. Will never get tired of these little ones snuggled up asleep.

Wedding Weekend (Behind the Scenes)

There is officially another Mrs. Bullis around...and Brad and Brittany now have the names "husband" and "wife". And they now get to live happily ever after...

I have a few behind the scenes pictures of our weekend...but none of the actual wedding;) I never really had my camera when I needed it so lots of phone pics...We left the real stuff to the photographers but can't wait to see them.

Road trip to Myrtle Beach- we're excited!


First order of business for Parker: Hot tub!


Fun cousin time!



The beach, the beach!


Time to get on with the wedding- rehearsal time!



Brittany's Mom made Tinley this dress to wear to the rehearsal...so pretty and Tinley had lots of help in keeping it under control.


Another highlight- lots of yummy foods!


 Happy bride excited about her honeymoon!


Getting ready time!



 What a royal treatment for Tinley! 


Trying to do what everyone else was doing!


Because girls and boys are separated for most before the wedding stuff, I didn't see a lot of my guys behind the scenes, but we snuck out to check on them! We let Parker bring his DS because I don't think boy primping and waiting is quite as exciting. He was perfectly content to wait with a little extra entertainment!


Almost ready!


 Tinley knew right how to take care of the bride. A little piece of gum...


And a last minute snuggle. She was so excited to be with "Princess Brittany".


Obviously a lot happened between these two pictures- a wedding ceremony, vows, pictures, food, dancing, photo booth...and finally some worn out children!



A good night was had by all!
 Congratulations Brad and Brittany!

A Berry Happy (3 year old) Girl

Although today was technically one day before Tinley's real birthday, it was declared the "birthday party day." And let's face it, that makes it pretty real

She started practicing holding three fingers up this morning as she asked over and over...is it time to go yet?


Our party this year was at the arts center and included a lot of Tinley's favorite things!

Swings...


Dress ups...


 Art...

 With full access to All those supplies!



 Books!

Presents...


Strawberry Shortcake...



And best of all...she got to do it all surrounded by her buddies and family!

So fun to see everyone enjoying and celebrating with our baby girl. What a blessing!








This is Tinley soon after the party. So tired she fell asleep out to eat. Busy day!


There was also another birthday this week for Brandon. Now that he's sharing the week with Tinley I think his celebration might have gotten shorter. This is the only picture I have of him on his birthday, but love how happy these two look! He's such a good Dad, he doesn't even pout about sharing! We love you and appreciate you!
