Santa Claus is coming!

Merry Christmas!!!  Hope your Santa is as cute as ours!

Fall

Ok so it's totally past the pretty fall season here in Kentucky where the weather is perfect and the leaves are changing and everything....but I took these a while back and wanted to at least post them since I made Pete drive me around to find some pretty "kodak" areas that had some leaves still on the trees.  The weather now?  FREEZING and NOT FUN! Haha, poor me.

He was having so much fun playing with the leaves!

Blast from 2 years past: Wedding Pics!

Ok so my parents finally found the disk of pics from my AMAZING wedding photographer, David (Genesis Weddings).  I LOVE all of my photos!  Here are a few!  We just passed our 2 year mark and are ready for upcoming year 3!

Sneaky shorts

So basically, Pete was doin his own business and Beasley decided to join him and keep his shorts warm while they were down....so cute!  I had my camera handy and snapped a few pics...

Look at this face! Haha.

Poor Fiona is trying to stay sane with a little puppy always chasing and nipping at her!

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse

Pete is such a good little worker that our bosses treated Pete and I to a HEAVENLY dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse!  It was amazing......

Pete got the "Porterhouse for Two"....more like for 5!  That steak was HUGE and could barley fit on the plate!  We had appetizers and salads before, so by the time our entrees came out we could hardly eat any of it and had plenty of take-out for the next day!

Since the restaurant is on top of a super tall building, we walked around the wrap-around balcony after dinner and enjoyed the view of Louisville!

More Beasley Boy

Sorry, I can't help it....he's just too cute.

Sister

I forgot to mention our friends bought his little sister...how cute are they???? She is a tiny girl and they are so cute when they are together!  We were so happy we could keep them close and will be able to grow up together.

Bath time for the stinky babies!

Beasley Brown Knight

Introducing our little boy: Beasley!!!!

He is 8 weeks old and the sweetest, cutest little boy ever!

He LOVES to cuddle in the blankets

I don't want to put him down!

He is a DOLL

I'm in love if you can't tell!  We are so happy to have him with us.  Fiona is adjusting, slowly....we know they will be best friends someday!

Wind Storm!

Sunday we experienced a big wind storm that I definitely was NOT expecting!  We were in church when the wind really picked up and when we got out - an hour early - roads everywhere were blocked with fallen trees.  As you can see, the damage was quite extensive for many.  We were so blessed not to have any problems.  Most of our friends and Pete's parents had no electricity for a few days...some STILL don't even have power now!

Notice the power line that was knocked down along with the tree!

Monday morning we were running low on gas and figured we would get some on the way to work.  We didn't realize how extensive the damage was until we drove down a busy street and saw that grocery stores, fast food and restaurants, businesses, and many (not all) gas stations were shut down because they had no power!  By the end of the day grocery stores and other places were throwing out their frozen foods because they were all thawing out!

By the way, these aren't pics I took...I found these on the internet...there are articles and other pics if you want to find out more!

Preppy Girl

Ok ok I know, but isn't she cute?  We walked by this little shop in Gatlinburg and saw these cute polo shirts and had to get one for her.

Ripley's Believe it or Not! Museum

So we walked through this museum in Gatlinburg and there were some CRAZY things we saw and learned!  We didn't take pics of everything we saw because there was just too much but here are some good ones.

This is just a painting that was on the wall, and I always make Pete be in pics so...here he is, looking up the stairs with his traveling friend.

I was busy looking out the window of the high tower with my cool gloves and binoculars.  It TOTALLY looks like I was leaning on the ledge!  Ha.

So, this is a model of the tallest man, ever!  He was really this tall!  They were showing videos of him and everything!!!!!

Adorable in his big chair.

This is what we would look like if we  were "little" people...????

The Aquarium!

We went to the aquarium right next door to our hotel in Gatlinburg.  It was amazing!  We felt like we were watching Blue Planet all over again!  

These fish were HUGE and ugly!

Not this fish...he was my favorite!  He actually looks more like fish food!

My brave sea explorer!  Haha

This just doesn't look right....

Happy 2 Year Anniversary!

We decided it was the perfect time to take a little getaway to celebrate our 2nd year anniversary.  We drove 4 hours to a cute little town called Gatlinburg, TN.  We stayed over Labor Day weekend and had fun shopping, relaxing, and best of all, NOT WORKING!

At the entrance of our hotel in Gatlinburg,TN

The walkways were so cute!

Pete's FIRST time eating at the Hard Rock Cafe!

Taking in the nice scenery....

Our living room and fireplace...

We love our apt and are so glad that we are finally moved in!
