Pretty Pretty Baby R&G

I love a having Presley Kates name or monogram on her shirts or dresses. I recently had the pleasure to get to know Kristen from Pretty Pretty Baby. Kristen started her shop when she had her first born, a little girl. She began with making hairbows and onesies and then her shop was born. She uses top quality materials and everything is so well made.

This would be so cute for St Pattys day!

And this for Valentines!

Does your little one love firetrucks or having a firetruck bday party?

Kristen was so kind to send Presley Kate a shirt with an owl on it. She loves owls and so do I. They are so popular right now. And look how cute it is. She normally makes it to say, Whoo Loves Ya, but I asked her to add her name instead and she was happy to. I love someone who doesnt mind custom orders :)

A winner and A Mammogram!

The winner of the SolCreations Giveaway is Melissa from chronicles of my sweet p. Please send me your address so that I can get that out to you. My email is keepersphoto{at}gmail{dot}com

On to other news, I had my first mammogram and breast ultrasound today! Yes, at age 26 :(  My grandmother had breast cancer and a masectomy and my mother has had 7 mammograms just this year alone and several surgical biopsys. She has a spot that looks extremely suspecious of cancer so they have already started her on treatment and she sees an Oncologist regularly. So when I was doing my self exam, which YOU should do monthly, I noticed a small knot on my right breast. I immediately went into panic mode. There is such a high risk in my family that I wanted to be certain it was nothing. So I spoke with my primary care doctor and she thought it was best to go ahead with the testing just to rule out everything. So yesterday was my appointment. Boy was I nervous!!! Not nervous for the testing, but nervous for the results.

So yesterday I go to the appointment and they give me a lovely robe to wear and they came and got me to do the mammogram. She starts and it was going fine, just a lot of pressure. Then because I was having problems they wanted to get some really good views of that spot. WOW did those positions hurt. (Not to scare anyone from getting a mammogram) but they said that because I am young the breast are more dense and can be more painful. They were RIGHT! So she finished that up and she said she was going to take them to the radiologist to see what he thinks. She comes back in and says he wants to do an ultrasound of the right side. Once again, I go into panic mode! So another lady came into to take me to ultrasound. She begins and its not to bad then she starts really pushing and the pain got worse and worse and worse. So finally she finished what felt like a 30 minute ultrasound that was in all actuallity was only a few minutes. She said let me take this to him(the radiologist) and said she would be right back. She came back in and said...He DIDNT see anything and I could go!!! What a RELIEF! I am so glad that I had it all done though, now I can sleep a little better at night. (did you make it this far lol)

Our Christmas in Pictures

Christmas Eve we went to my parents house. Normally we have a HUGE family dinner and exchange gifts but this year we did it a little different. This year we only had my family and my two older brothers families at my parents and I enjoyed it so much better. It was just more intimate that way. The grandkids are so spoiled by their MawMaw and PawPaw. Here are a few pictures from that evening. I didnt  take a whole lot.

PK in her sweet dress(review and giveaway to come)

Peyton getting excited about the gifts.

My sweet niece Taylin who just opened her first "boobie bras" from Aunt Crystal. She had been asking for them and when she opened the present she was so embarrassed. You can tell she is still red in the face. Sweet.

Peyton and a crawly bug.

Later that night, we went home and put the boys to bed. Presley decided she was to excited to sleep so she was awake when Santa came. Next year, she wont be so lucky to see him.

Santa came! Our living room is tiny so it was hard to get a good picture.

Parker on his bike.

Peyton with his bike

Peytons favorite gift, a bow and arrow!

Another thing that made Christmas so great this year, it was a White Christmas!!! We have never had a white Christmas before. I do remember a few times from my childhood it would spit snow but nothing ever stuck. Until Christmas of 2010! We were all totally soooo excited.

This is my dad lol, yes he is wearing shorts in the snow. He wears shorts year round. The only time he puts on pants is on Sunday for Church, for funerals, and if your lucky your wedding.

My mom and Presley throwing snowballs at brothers.

Presley was so excited that it snowed too.

The next day they were able to ride their bikes in the lot across the street.

Shelby didnt mind the snow much either.

Our gorgeous Shelby!

He is pretty good with that thing!

The hubby with his 4th child.

This was taken later on Christmas day at my Sister in laws house. We had went over there for a Christmas get-to-gether and she snapped this shot. I love it. All the colors work so well and you can tell how much Peyton adores his little sister.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and are planning something extra fun for New Years Eve!
