Great Trip to OXFORD!!!

McCullough and I made a fun trip to Oxford a few weeks ago to see my best friends and to introduce McCullough to some dear people!!

First stop was Meg and Isaac Jenkins' house. Meg lead my bible study for four years and her family was truly my second home. When I got to Ole Miss, Zac, their oldest child, was three months old and now he is about to turn FOURTEEN!!!! Gray was born two years later and then Ruthie two years after that.

This was McCullough's first time to meet all these wonderful people!!

She absolutely adored Ruthie!!

The boys are playing football and Isaac hasn't changed one bit!!
Mother - Daughter!!!!
Elissa has taught McCullough to raise her hands whenever you ask her "How Big's McCullough?" and then we say "SO BIG"!!!
Ruthie wasn't sure what to think but McCullough couldn't stop hugging her :))
Two of my favorite people in all the world!!!!
After the Jenkins' house mom and I took McCullough to the Square to meet up with another great friend Amy Cole! It was so fun to see her and her pregnant belly that is due soon!!


Later on we met up with my dad's family. My dad had one brother and he and his family live in Oxford. It was so special to introduce McCullough to my Uncle Larry, Aunt Ann, and cousin Emily.



After three days of fun with my Mom, she headed back to Baton Rouge and all my best friends got there!!! Here are a few pictures of those adorable kiddos I absolutely love!! Abby is Mary Martha's daughter and Allen is Mary Ann's boy.
You forget how much fun being a kid is :)))
On Saturday, Blair and Kate, Honey, and Claire and Haynes all arrived!!! We had a blast spending time in the grove. Sorry - this is the best pic I have of the group!!
You can imagine how hard and crazy it was to feed five kids at one time...
And after a "short" night of sleep -- we had 5 precious little kiddos in pjs having breakfast together!!

GREAT TRIP!!!!!!!

Fun Times!

We play a little game at our house called "Where's McCullough?"

THERE SHE IS!!!!!!
Where's McCullough!!!
There she is!!!
I guess after all our games, she was ready for bed and knew what to grab :)))

The park with cousins

The main reason we went to BR was to meet my new little niece. Of course - I didn't take many pictures because I was constantly making sure McCullough didn't squeeze her :)) She is just a doll and such a sweet little one!!

And here is my heart!!!

Swinging with daddy!!
Squirty LOVES the cosy coup - but wasn't big on sharing. I love the look on her face here - like she has NO idea WHY I would be calling her name and telling her not to shove the 3 year old out of the car!
The gang - plus Adria Heroman and her son William

First Hair "Trim"

Well, McCullough's hair was starting to get out of control so I decided to let her have a little hair TRIM, not a cut, just a trim. Her hair is so straight that it needed a little trimming. Of course I would never trust a new person with her hair, so I got it done in Baton Rouge with my hair dresser Michelle. Here are a few pics.

She wanted to hold her own comb!

Mary Tolliver joined in on the fun - she has been giving me manicures since I was in 8th grade. She thinks she is retiring, but not before McCullough gets her first manicure!!!

Wonder where she gets her expressions :))

All of a sudden she noticed a cute boy behind her!

Eating cheerios with an eye on the boy!!
The finished product!!

Fun pics of squirt

Well my sweet friend Kady was over the other day and grabbed my camera and took a few pics of squirty -- yes, she's a professional :)) Now I just need a good flash because McCullough is SO quick that she is gone in an instant!

Margaret's Baptism

Our sweet niece Margaret was baptized last weekend in Dallas. We were so glad that we could be there for such a special day. Here are some pics of the beautiful little girl and "the active one". I'll let you decide which one might be the "active" one :)))
