Funny Moment

I wish I would of had my camera but I thought I would blog it anyway. This morning while momma was checking her email you decided to go into the kitchen and get into the dogs dish again... When I walked into the kitchen you had dumped all the food and water on the floor and you were on your belly trying to slurp up the water off of the floor. You looked up at me with the funniest grin and it was all I could do not to laugh. Of course you were soaked from head to toe with water and smelled like wet dog food but it was too funny.

Mom and Hershell are now Married

We went over to the house last night and it was a short little ceremony with just the kids and grandchildren there. We all went to dinner afterward and had a good time. I ate way too much. Mom is just glad they are married now. She did not want to stress over a big wedding. We still plan to throw a reception for them sometime soon. I think they both enjoyed themsleves and are truely happy. We love them both and may they be blessed with a wonderful marriage.........pictures to come!

Valentines Day!!

This post is a little late but, I finally got to it....

Daddy had to work on Valentines Day so it was just you and me most of the day until Daddy woke up to go to work. Daddy gave me some really yummy Godiva chocolates that I love and I wouldn't share with you simply because you had your own.... anyway, we watched Shelby so her Mommy and Daddy could go out and have a nice evening. You girls had such a time you never stopped the whole evening.

22 Months

The time between 18 mths and now seems so long ago. I want to reflect back as much as I can to preserve all of our memories together.

You have quite a personality and love to discover new things. You go back and forth being a mommy or daddy's girl. It amazes me that you know your limits with each one of us. Rough housing with Daddy on the floor is so exciting to you. If you see Daddy spread that big "banket" on the floor you know that it is "yee-ha" time. I love to see you play together, I don't think your smile gets any brighter than when you are playing with Daddy.

You have discovered that people have feelings and if you think you have upset someone you get the biggest lower lip ever. It is too cute. You are learning your manners very well. "Tan tu" is for thank you and "peees" is for please. You are learning to tell us when you are done with things and what you want to eat and what movies you want to watch instead of whining for them. When you are done eating you say "all don" and hold your hands out to get them cleaned. You love corn, grapes, strawberries, froot loops, pizza, and noodles. If I want you to eat well I know to give you pizza, you eat so much I wonder where you put it all.

You still love to take baths and float in the water. You are washing yourself now that you know most of your body parts. I think it is cute when you wash your big toe. You love to brush your teeth all by yourself. It has become a habit for you to wake up and go to the bathroom and go "aaahhhhh" which means you want to brush your teeth.

You have been spending quite a bit of time with your cousin Shelby. Sometimes you play nice and other times there is some pushing involved but, you usually work it out on your own. I think you enjoy having her around more than not. You still love your cousin Trinity, there is something about older kids that you take to. If I mention her name you are ready to go see your "Tity." You are doing well at church and will soon be moving to the 2 year old room. You seem to play nice with the other children.

You do pretty well in public and restaurants as long as you are entertained. You like telling everyone "By and Tan tu."
You are starting to understand the whole baby situation but I don't think you realize one is coming your way though but, I know you will be great.

SNOW!! 2/06

You had such a good time playing in the snow, your little hands were frozen but you wanted to stay out longer. You kept kicking the bushes out front so the snow would fly off and hit you in the face. It was funny. You were rolling your big ball around in the backyard making tracks. If the snow was a little more dry we could of made a snowman but I did not feel liek getting soaked. This will probably be it for snow this year. It has been snowing for about 3 hours now and still going. I wonder how much we will actually get......

Its a Boy!

Your going to have a little brother....


We found out today we are adding another little man to our family. We are so excited. Daddy was so happy he asked Mommy if she was just kidding with him.... it was a funny moment.
Now that we know, you and Mommy can start getting things ready for him and buying sweet little outfits.....
I told you Mommy's baby is a little boy but you did not seem to understand since we just started working on the boy/girl thing. When I said you are going to be a big sister you tried to say it but we need to keep working on that. Anyway, we are a blessed family and can't wait for what is to come.

Sneaky girl!!

Daddy got Mommy a treadmill and turned the big box into a play house for you. Well we figured out you like to take things and go hide in the house with them. You have been taking dog food and hiding in there to eat it. yuck!! Daddy caught you this day. You took a wine glass that was left on the table and decided to hide with it. You think you are so sneaky it is cute.

The Big Girl Bed...

After the New Year we decided to put up your big bed. You were so excited you had to help Daddy with it. You couldn't wait until it was done so you could jump on it. You love your bed comforter because it has flowers and butterflies on it. We have your aunt Jenny and uncle Mike to thank for that. Every time you wake up you come out of your room saying"my night night" over and over again. When someone would come over you would take them into your room to show them your bed. It was so cute. I am glad we had a pretty easy transition into your new bed.

Bath time!!!!

You love to take your baths. Mommy got you some bath crayons and you thought it was more fun to color yourself than the little animal pictures.

New Years! 2006

We spent New Years Eve at Bubba and Sara's house. They had a fun party. You got to play with a lot of new little friends. It was so cold out but all you kids insisted on playing outside.

This year will be full of new experiences and surprises along the way. We can't wait to see what you acheive this year. Your world will change dramatically this year with the arrival of your new little brother or sister. You are so motherly already, I think you will be just fine. We are thankful for all the blessings we have had over the past year. We were able to move into our new home, meet a great church family, and made some new friends along the way. We were able to see Granni and Papa in Texas quite frequently this year which you loved so much. We look forward to the future and all of the blessings and trials along the way.

Toys for Tots

Your Daddy and I did the toy run to Toy Hill for the police department this year. We enjoy doing things like this. Maybe next year you can come with us and ride in the police car. (Isn't Daddy cute!)

Your Second Christmas - 2005

This was a fun Christmas for you. Santa did you a little too well this year. You were so tired by the end of the day you just crashed. You got to see all of your extended family pretty much. We wish we could of spent some time with your cousin Parker. You kids had a good time together. We went to Granni's house in the morning and had breakfast with Granni, Hershal, Bubba, Sara, Dana and Andy, and Dena and Jonathan. You were so tired you tooka nap with Reddawg before we went over to Great Grannis.

Playing at Great Granni's

Today you spent the day at your Great Granni's house. You, Shelby, and Trinity helped Granni and your aunts put up the Christmas tree. You had a blast. You love to play with your cousins. You all stayed outside and played in the leaves a lot because it was a pretty day.

You and your baby dolls

You love playing with your baby dolls. You think it is fun to feed the baby its baba. It amazes me how motherly you are. Your a sweet little girl.

December Smiles '05

Our Family.....Growing fast!

Here is the latest on us and the new baby coming. I am only 10 weeks according to the ultrasound but that may change when the baby gets bigger. Emily is starting to notice my belly. I am getting big fast with this one. If you ask her where Mommy's baby is she points to my belly button. She is going to be a good big sister.

Thanksgiving

We had a good Thanksgiving with your family and friends. Granni and Papa came up from Texas and spent a few days with us. Daddy had a turkey fiasco, it had to be just right. It turned out really well. You were really good all weekend even with a little cold. You went shopping with Mommy, Granni and Papa the day after and had a blast.It was a good time.

She's all Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are the cutest thing I know.....we love you

Fun Times

I thought I would post some fun days we have had lately. You really enjoy playing together with your cousin Shelby. It is great that we get to see her now since she moved back. You love to play with your baby doll and feed her with the bottle. You absolutely love your baths. You are a water baby. You lay in the bath with the water over yor ears and dunk yourself and could care less. You are starting to talk more now. You try to say everything you hear, its cute.

Fall is upon us......What a big girl!

I can't beleive how much you have grown just in the last month. You are officially done with your pacifier. It has been about a week now. You gave it up like a champ with only one bad night. It was much easier to wean you than anticipated.
You seem to like the cold weather. You would still run a round naked if I would let you. You like playing in the leaves, especially at Granny's house because they are everywhere. You like to say "cold" and "hot" all the time. It really amazes me because you actually grasp what the difference is between the two. Your cousin Shelby moved back from Texas and you like to play with her. She is a lot of fun. You seem to think every man with a beard now is Santa Clause. You will point one out before anyone else. We can't wait for the holidays to see your face light up and get to see all of our family. Everything is so pretty this time of year, the trees are all sorts of colors and you like pointing them out. Mommy and Daddy love you and can't wait to see how much more you grow this winter.
