Thanksgiving Feast at Trinity Baptist Church CDO 2011

 My Bigs are in the Busy Bee class this year. 

FOUR YEARS OLD

Crazy. 

Their last year (potentially) at Trinity Baptist CDO. 

They have been coming here since they were babies. 

So sad. 

This was their Thanksgiving Feast and every year the Four Year Old's put on a short little program. 

As you will notice in the photos below, Isaac is not crazy at all about getting up in front of people, but it's just the opposite for Hadleigh. 

SHE LOVES to sing and dance and she wants everyone to watch her. 

Maybe she'll be a worship leader one day.

 My Libby is in the Squeaky Squirrels One Year Old Class. 

She loves her Mrs. Christine. 

She has grown so much in this class I can't believe it. 

And here she is with one sock on and one off. 

This is how she rolls. 

It's mostly one but not both and this goes for shoes too. 

 These tables are hilarious to me. 

I love them. 

All her little buddies. 

Jake, Zoe, Brayden and Mason.

Isaac's best little buddy Zeke. 

He talks about Zeke all the time. 

It's so CUTE!!

Lankford Family photo session 2011 with Moxie Photography

My friend Nikki came to photograph our family for the 3rd year in a row! She is pregnant with twins and was such a trooper to come all the way to Kerrville and attempt to take our pictures. The wind was HORRIBLE this day so there are not many, but ENOUGH to have something. THANKS so much again Moxie Photography!!

All the girls are wearing Matilda Jane Clothing thanks to my BEST Friend and Trunk Keeper in Colorado!!

My son of course through a tremendous fit for everyone b/c he had to wear a "COLLAR".
BUT he really likes his Sperry's I bought him so that was a plus!
On top of all that he was the best at doing what he was asked to do and smiled the whole time.


I am thankful for a husband who never complains about doing a family portrait and wears what I ask him to no matter what. 

Libby Lou turns 12 months old

http://www.babycenter.com/6_your-1-year-old-1-year-checkup_1155.bc

Libby went in for her 12 month check up and everything is looking great!

She's moved up to the 75 % in height and remains at the 50% for weight. 

She started walking at about 12 1/2 months. 

She's REALLY getting the hang of it now. 

I've even seen her try to run a couple of times. 

Her new word is "up" and she FINALLY started using her signs for Please and more. 

She also says drink and no. 

She wants whatever we have.

She naps twice a day usually 10 and 2-ish. 

Mostly she is sleeping through the night, but still takes a bottle sometimes. 

YES she is still on the bottle. 

Not a battle I want to face right now. 

Maybe after Christmas. 

I tried putting her milk in a sippy cup, but she wasn't having it. 

I say sippy cup, but she will not drink from a sippy cup unless it has a straw. 

SILLY GIRL. 

She is the funniest little thing. 

Full of personality. 

She loves to give kisses, it is SO SWEET.

My friend Nikki came to take our family pictures and we set this up for Libby's 

official ONE year picture. I wanted her to have something that no one else has. 

She adores her bunny that is sitting at her feet. 

She sleeps with it every night. 

I'm sad she's not really attached to a blanket like my other kids, but I guess a bunny will do! 

Halloween 2011

 Can you guess what story this is?

HAHAHAHA!

That's right...LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

The Wolf, The Grandma and Little Red Riding Hood.

 

Of course Mema made their costumes again this year and I adore them. 

Isaac really loved being the wolf and I couldn't believe he actually kept his hood on the entire night.

 

Hadleigh dressed up like the Grandma. 

Her idea. (maybe a little influence from Mema)

She was going to be Little Red Riding hood too like Libby. 

While they were shopping for material for the cape she decided she wanted to be Grandma. 

Only she had to paint her face b/c Grandma's are white.

YEP that is what she said. 

Well, the only Grandma's she know ARE white. 

Am I neglecting my children? 

Poor thing, I think we need to "adopt" a black grandma somewhere. 

Any volunteers?

 

 And then there's Red. 

Absolutely beautiful. 

The cape was perfect and I love it so much. 

We went to Harvest Fest again this year at our church. The kids were really into it this year. So cute.

This last photo is consisted of 9 of the babies born this past year between October 1, 2010 and June 30, 2010. All in our Sunday School Class at church. I am in love! This was hilarious and I'm so glad we decided to try and get them together.
