Happy Birthday Kate Davis!

Kate Davis is one! The girls got to go to their first birthday party ever! Kate had a tulip party and Cara was sweet to let the girls borrow some of her clothes so they could dress the theme. It was a fun time to be with friends and family and celebrate sweet Kate.

We are so thankful to have our friends Will, Cara, Jack, Josie and Kate just two doors down! What a blessing. The Davis' have been a constant source of love and encouragement in our lives. I love having an experienced Mom so close when I have those crazy first time Mom questions. Kate was too cute with her ice cream! It was such a fun party. We look forward to many more parties with our sweet friends the Davis'. Happy Birthday Kate!

TV Stars

We had an exciting day today in the Eubanks house hold.... NBC channel 5 came to our house! Scott Friedman did a story on our insurance situation. Will did a good job telling the story of the girls stay in the NICU and our struggle with the insurace and doctors in NICU being out of network. I hope they don't make us look silly! Sometimes they take the stupidest things people say and put them on! Hopefully they will do a good job. It was weird having them at the house. It will be fun to tell the girls that they were on TV when they were babies. Here are a few pics of our little TV stars!

Babies First Beach Trip

Sooo.... the girls got to take their first trip to the beach this summer! My parents have a beach home in Crystal beach. It has been a great place to go every summer. It is two rows from the beach, and has a great deck to watch the sun sets and a swing to sit and watch the waves. Will proposed to me down there so it has alot of great memories!

The whole family was there. Mere, Justin and Kate. Mom, Dad and Amanda. It was a great time. Even though it rained alot.... we made the most of it. The girls LOVED the swing. They also loved playing in the pack and play on the deck. I think one day they spent about an hour just swinging with Will. It was a great time for him to have some time with them too. They didn't like their first trip to the beach as you can see from the pictures... it was a little windy even with the tent.

We took a walk as a family down the the beach, less wind and sun and they like it alot better. It was a great memory. We put their toes in the sand, and water. I wish we would have had someone take a pic of us down there. We did get one on the deck before going down there. It was my Mom's birthday, so we all got to celebrate together. It was really a blessing to be with everyone. We are thankful we got to go.

Happy 4th of July

For the 4th we packed up the car and headed on a road trip to good ole Arkansas to spend the holiday with Will's family. We all caravaned their... Will's fam was great about letting me stop to feed the girls and such. We got to stop in Little Rock so the girls could meet Grandmommy, Bills Mom, and the girls great grandmother for the first time! She is a twin, so it was neat to have her meet the girls.

Then we loaded up again and headed to Danville to meet Mama Fan, the girls Great Great Grandmother for the first time and meet the rest of Fran's family. It was great being on the farm and seeing all of Will's sweet aunts, uncles, cousins and fam. The girls are becoming quite the little travelers with trips to Houston and now Arkansas! Mama Jan wanted to take a 5 generation picture for the Yell County Record. The girls are so blessed to have so many Great Grandparents!

We had a great display of fire works out at the farm, and Helen, Janette and Will went out hunting. Luckily the girls slept thru the fire works!

Here are a few pics of all the 4th of July fun!

Goodbye Parker

Have a whole range of emotions as I live my first job out of college to be a stay at home mom. Feeling blessed that I am able to stay at home, feeling thankful that I had such a great job these last 4 and half years, sad to leave sweet friends and co-workers.

Parker has been a great place to work. I had an AMAZING team in Student Affairs. They always helped me no matter what I asked help with. So many memories of events.... pancake study breaks, christmas parties,movie nights, talent shows.... oh, and the AMAZING blessing of getting adjusted when I needed it. I really miss that.

I am thankful for the friends I made, and the time I spent at Parker. I pray I blessed others, as much as I was blessed. The party was so fun. Getting to introduce the girls to everyone and say goodbye.

More PIcs from Amanda's Party

Congratulations Aunt Amanda

My baby sister graduated from Highschool! I can't believe that my littlest sister is all grown up. It was a joy and blessing to be home to celebrate with Amanda on her special day. Meredith had a cake made with the theme of pink, black and white, and we worked hard to get everything looking just right for the party. It wasn't easy with Emma, Addi and Kate either!!!

Amanda was my training for my babies now :) I was in 3rd grade when she was born. I remember waking her up, and running to mom to say she was awake so I could hold her. I remember teaching her to walk and rollerskate.

I am proud of my sister, and thankful for her prescence in my life. I pray that she will always know how much we love her.
