Reed's 2nd Birthday

In January we celebrated Reed's 2nd birthday with pizza dinner and cake! Momma made a big mistake and we actually had a week full of cake. I thought that I called the Wal-Mart bakery and ordered Reed's cake to be picked up the afternoon of her birthday. Well, I did call a Wal-Mart bakery- it just happened to be in Indianola, so when Daniel went to pick it up here in Greenville, they had no idea what he was talking about. We did get the cakes from both places, hence the week long birthday cake celebration (nobody minded). So glad this little bundle of happiness joined our family 2 years ago.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2012!

Merry Christmas from the Hookers! We celebrated here in Greenville last weekend and get to head to Columbus to celebrate some more! It's been a very relaxed Christmas at home this year (remembering that last Christmas we were misplaced due to our personal flood of 2010-still Thank you, city of Greenville) Our cousin Lee stopped by last week for a vistit to the delta and a getaway from law school exams. We got a great visit with him in to start our Christmas celebration. Christmas weekend we enjoyed Christmas Eve mass and then headed to Mimi and Papaw's to eat and share gifts. Christmas day was lazy and included playing with Santa's gifts, breakfast brunch (with a great new cinnamon roll casserole thanks to pinterest) with Mimi and Papaw, and video games with Mark III all afternoon (don't know who had more fun- Daniel or Mark ?)

Excited to share that Hooker #3 is on the way and this time bringing a little blue to our house. Baby Brother will hopefully join us around the 14th of May (or sooner, if he wishes). Been a great pregnancy with a little morning sickness through the first trimester tapering off to more energy and less sickness in the 2nd. Starting to wake up in the night and not as comfortable as I wish I could be but that is to be expected. If that's all I have to worry about, life is good! Happy 2012 from this whirlwind household!

History in the making

This is a picture taken at the lake front on May 6, 2011. The river, and therefore the lake is at its highest point since 1927 (broke the 1973 record today). And we are still rising. The lake front usually is a wide open lot with probably 20-30 rows of parking spaces. Now only about 3 are visible. Hoping that this is the only excitement that we will have to report.

A happy Easter...

A shot of Reed enjoying daddy's spaghetti as much as the rest of us! (or maybe a little more?)

And my two Bulldog cheerleaders on their way to school during "Wacky Week", a week that we got to dress up differently everyday. This just happened to be Touchdown Tuesday and our normal breakfast in the car.
