The Pulliams are one adventurous family!  With all this rain we’ve had for the last month, of course we got wet.  I just don’t know what is up with all this weather!  The whole crew were champs though!  We dodged the raindrops as long as we could and then retreated from the beach at the Homestead to the transportation station for a little cover.  Grandma had big fun plans for the beach with the kids and their fancy red, white, and blue sunglasses, so of course, we had to play with them.  We laughed at the rain and splashed in puddles and pretty much rocked out some attitude!

I can not believe how big these two are getting!  Abigail has the most intense gaze and the biggest smiles once you get her going.  And Blake!  Seriously, this kid!  I asked him to show me his friends.  So he brought me out Mickey, then Minnie, the another Mickey, and another, and a Michael Jackson Mickey.  Apparently he has many friends.  It makes it easy when you have so many friends, when they all have the same name!

Two of my favorite boys are at it again!  Grady turns one this month and big brother James is showing him the ropes on this photos thing.  These guys crack me up every time!  As a kid, what could possibly be better than jumping on Mom and Dad’s bed?  Perhaps eating reward chocolate on Mom’s white comforter!  These are going to be good memories for the boys.  Mom and Dad are building a new house so this is the last month in this home.  I know the next place will be just as amazing for these boys to grow up in.  I can’t wait to see it finished!

Last year Emily and Eli married and made a family.  This year their family made a human!  I absolutely adore watching families grow in love and numbers!  Little Miss Elise is just perfection!  She wasn’t a big fan of sleeping nice and still or being on her tummy, but let me tell you, that baby bag is AMAZING!  She conked out in mere seconds.

Welcome to the world, baby Elise!  There are lots of wonderful things that your Mom and Dad will teach you!

Oh my goodness!  This little doll is going to give her big brother some trouble!  Little miss Abigail is 6 months old now and well on her way to being just as spunky as big bro, Blake.

What is more fun than small humans racing cars?  Small humans racing cars and having their own trading cards for autograph time at the track!  I offered to make Hunter his very own trading cards.  He came up with the second design here.  I preferred the first design, so I printed both for him.  I’ll be sure to update next week when the print delivery comes in!

I had the exciting privilege of covering the indoor kids racing for my friend’s son.  I was really surprised to find it absolutely enjoyable.  Among the 70+ kids ranging in ages of 5-14, there were no issues and no tears between kids or parents.  All of the parents worked together to help fix cars and make sure everybody had what they needed to race.  And to see these little people – – yes! as young as 5 years old! racing! was the coolest thing EVER!  At an intermission, all of the racers lined up for autograph time.  It was super cute to see these little people signing autographs like a huge stars.  And I think the funniest part of the day was that the littlest ones can hardly write their name but can navigate a track like pros!

The other cool thing about the day was watching the kids make friends!  Do you remember how you could just strike up a friendship with no questions or cares when you were a kid?  It’s so much harder as an adult!  I watched 2 kids who had never met, yet raced against each other on the track, pal up like they’d know each other their entire lives.

Oh, and this is likely the coolest place I have ever seen my business name!  On the hood, too!  Rumor has it, I get to have the hood to hang in my garage!

I can always count on my little pal Charlie for a good laugh.  His Santa song was fabulous.  And the look on his face when I told him to throw a snowball at me, priceless.  I find that nothing get kids to smile more than throwing things at me!  Unfortunate for the camera gear; kids have surprisingly good aim!

Santa came to Castle Farms to read the Polar Express to children!  It was a fun day, filled with laughter, happy smiles, and long lists of gifts to bring on Christmas.

Welcome to the world little Nora!  This little doll had a bit of a fussy day but she decided to fall asleep after Daddy and brother joined us for a few family photos.
