A nursery fit for two...reprise!

Since I have plenty of cute baby pictures to keep you busy for awhile, I thought I would also show you how cute the Nursery frame turned out to be.  Remember back in July when I wrote about helping Tiffany with the nursery here!  Well the prints that I ordered finally came and I put it together this weekend when I was there and now you get to see the final product:



And a cute cover for the changing pad (Tiffie got this one):


And the cute baby bed again :)



A long silence must mean one thing.....

Welcome to the world long awaited baby boys!  Sorry I have been relatively quiet in blog world, I went down Friday afternoon to meet these little guys!

These two little baby boys that we have prayed over and been excited about meeting since DECEMBER of last year FINALLY made their arrival Thursday!  Baby A and Baby B, better known as Holden William and Garrett Huling came into the world around 12:45pm on Thursday at a strong 6 pounds 8.5 oz and 6 pounds 9 oz respectively.  My sister is a real trooper and had both babies without any pain medication and is doing well, as are the two little ones.  I cannot wait to spoil these two guys and Corbin even more :)




And since I know how much we love pictures here (oh, is that just me? Well its my blog, my rules), I will be sharing more and more over the next week or more :)

Aruba!

Curacao!

Dominican Republic!

Grand Turk!

Yup, I think by the time November rolls around, I will be ready for some pristine beaches and sunshine!

Margarita Mondays

My week started off busy and has continued that way, but it also started off with dinner with one of my favorite people, Anna Banana, at one of my favorite restaurants, Plaza!  We shared a margarita this time since last time it seems that two small margaritas were too much for us!   Since I had just made margarita cookies, it seemed fitting to bring her some for margarita Monday.  Here is a picture of the two together (and of course little Anna with them)!





Weekend Catch Up!



So this week has been a bit crazy so bear with me as I do a few updates!  


Friday Night was race night once again.  We had a huge crowd with us (like 20 + people), it seems everyone loves some racin' fun!  




My cousin, Matt, came to the race to join us as well, so we toasted to his sister, my other cousin, Meagan on her birthday (she was in Florida).






There were not too many wrecks, so the races rolled on and finished earlier than normal!  CJ and I headed back to my house to get to bed early since we had a big day planned at King's Dominion for Saturday.  So it was up and about early on Saturday and headed to the park:


We got there almost at opening time and hit up a few roller coasters and then had a late lunch and proceeded to waterworks where we went around the lazy river like 5 times before calling it a day.  We changed back into clothes and started to head to the car right when it started raining, so we were lucky to get out before we were drenched.  We came home and grabbed some Italian for dinner with the Bons.  Sunday was the day of cookie making and then it was off to a crazy week of work :)
