Sweet Home Alabama

There as been a lot of change going on in the Peeler house in the last few months, but we seem to have finally landed our tailspin in Trussville, AL- right outside Birmingham. 



This change as not been an easy one, especially for me. We are 3-4 hours from the closest family, and didn't know a sole when we moved here. Slowly but surely though, we are turing this into our new home. I can get to the grocery, gym, and most importantly TJ Maxx/Hobby Lobby without getting lost. 

We have found a church with an great Sunday School class who gave us this super cute cross. 



And after driving 2 hours one way to work for the last 1 1/2 years,  Chase is SUPER pumped to only be 7 minutes from work. There is only one problem- He asked me, "When do normal people drink their coffee, or listen to Free Beer and Hot Wings?" Oh, to have normal people problems :)

It has been fun to use all of "my" pinterest ideas while decorating the new house. :) 


 

But- while decorating I have come to the conclusion that I have commitment issues.


I am terrified to take the tags off of the new things I buy. 




"What if I realized I don't like it and want to take it back?!?!"


Mary Claire 12 Months!

OH MY WORD! That was one fast year!


This is the best picture we got... not for lack of trying. :)

My used to be good picture taker is no longer content to sit still...

New This Month
- Loves to sleep :) Mary Claire sleeps from about 8:00-8:00 just about every night. Gotta love that!
- We have a "stepper". Not to be confused with a walker. She still drops and crawls when she needs to get some where, but she has taken 1-3 VERY wabbly steps.
- Not many new words, just the usual- MaMa, DaDa, Bye-Bye, etc. But if you ask her what a snake says she says SSSSS, SSSSSSS, SSSSSS - might be the cutest thing ever.
- Mary Claire is a BUSY BODY! She NEVER stops moving. Maybe that is what she can eat a banana, 2 scrambled eggs, and cherrios for breakfast and still only weigh 18 lbs. Her mother's day ourt lovingly calls her "little miss piggy" :) Chase and I joke that if there was an baby eating contest we she would totally win!
- And we finally have enough hair for a TINY hairbow :) makes mommy happy!

Turning One is FUN!!!

Happy First Birthday Sweet Mary Claire!


We headed up to Memphis for Mary Claire's first birthday party. She is SOOOO blessed to have so many grandparents and great-grandparents that love her very much we wanted to make sure they could all make her party.


Turning One is Fun!!!


Mary Claire's birthday falls right around Dr. Suess' birthday, so we had a Suess themed party!











Mary Claire (and Momma) were so glad that her Aunt Robyn got to come to her party!


 *Please disregard the disgusted look on Mary Claire's face in most of the pictures. She was a little grumpy... It's her party and she can cry if she wants too!*

SMASH CAKE!

This was Mary Claire's favorite part! Sister LOVES cake.
