Mother's Day!

I have been waiting to share these photos until Kathy received her mother's day gift.
Now that she has I want to share some cute pictures of some of my favorite little ones!
We went to the zoo to take these~ so you can imagine the looks on peoples faces when we were all dressed up and taking pictures! I think they turned out great! ~who cares what people think!!:)
Enjoy~
Sorry this is the longest slide that I have done, but I know you will love them all! They are so sweet I could not pick a few!

Love the Shag!!

We got new carpet last week and we love it!!
Who would have thought that shag would be cool again!

A great weekend!!

This weekend was full of great things!
New carpet, Noah turned 1, Amber turning 30, and then off to the lake to see Popa, T, and the Garrison gang . Maymie did all kinds of fun things~ She got in the hot tub - went under (on her own) went on the boat loved every minute!
We did miss Daddy!!! Some of my favorite times when I was a child was being at the lake! I am so glad that Maymie will have the chance to make some great memories! Thanks for having us!! Here are some pictures of our great times!!
Enjoy~ m

Big smile today!!!

Fun outside!

The weather is so nice we spent most of the day outside yesterday!

Playing with chalk, bikes, and on the playground. Maymie and Ellie played with gum balls~ thank goodness they did not know what they were. They would carry them to the big wheel basket and then find another special spot. I even had the chance to enjoy the sun!! We had a great day!!
Ellie wanted to wear the butterfly wings most of the day.
Maymie changes her laugh daily and this is one when she thinks something is very funny!!

After dinner we went outside to play with sticky bubbles! Dakota even had a turn! Enjoy your day! ~m

Sundays are so much fun with Daddy!!

Today we had a great day that was full of adventures! Church, lunch, baccalaureate(Maymie enjoyed seeing the girls at school as always!), a little nap, then off to Avery's 3rd birthday bash!! We had a break through at Avery's house. Avery got a big slide for her birthday and Maymie went down the big slide!!! We were thinking maybe it just at her house, but when we got home she went down hers!! Daddy was very excited all that hard work is now getting put to good use~ at least for today! Sunday's are always better when Daddy does not have to work! Enjoy the pictures of the party! It was such a pretty day!
love~m

A day at the park!

Today we went to the park to have lunch, feed the ducks and celebrate Marleigh turning one month!! The weather was just right. The only thing that we were missing was a whiffle ball and bat. We had a cherry snow cone that was very tasty! Thanks for the great day guys!!
Enjoy!!
To make the slide show stop move your mouse over top the picture:)

Oh what fun it is to ride!!

In Matt's words one more thing that goes in the garage! This is sweet ride!! Maymie had lots of fun and it was great exercise!! I wish there where not so many hills around the house:)

Chucky Cheese

When Leigh and I were little Dad would take us to Chucky Cheese ever weekend. We loved it!!! Today's Chucky Cheese is a little different... When I told Dad that we went to Brysons birthday party at Chucky Cheese his first question was... did you see the big Gorilla on the stage? I think the Gorilla was when it was Showbiz. I remember the place being so big. It is funny how things seem to so small when you get older. Maymie had a blast and I thought we would never use all her tokens. She wanted to slide down this little slide that took no tokens. Thanks to Jamie for the pictures, if you can believe it I did not have my camera---I am slipping!!
Enjoy! I have to confess I think that Maymie is not afraid of people that are dressed in costumes-- I told her it could be daddy in there just like Easter bunny!!

Maymie and Caymin

So much energy!

People say all the time I wish that I could take Maymie's energy and bottle it. Wonder if we run around all day wild and crazy! We are already tried when we do our normal things. Oh to be a little one again!!
Maymie is holding her "lips" (chapstick) as she likes to call it. She loves putting on lips. Julie sent me this email and every time she ask for my lips I think of this.... Enjoy!

So, we had this great 10 year old cat named Jack who just recently died. Jack was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on this mat in our bathroom. Well, we have 3 kids and at the time of this story they were 4 years old, 3 years old and 1 year old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really loves chapstick. LOVES it. He kept asking to use my chapstick and then losing it. So finally
one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my chapstick and how he could use it whenever he wanted to but he needed to put it right back in the drawer when he was done. Last year on Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around and try to get ready for Church with everyone crying and carrying on. My two boys are fighting over the toy in the cereal box. I am trying to nurse my little one at the same time I am putting on my make-up. Everything is a mess and everyone has long forgotten that this is a wonderful day to honor me and the amazing job that is motherhood. We finally have the older one and and the baby loaded in the car and I am looking for Eli. I have searched everywhere and I finally round the corner to go into the bathroom. And there is Eli. He is applying my chapstick very carefully to Jack's . . . rear end. Eli looked right into my eyes and said "chapped." Now if you have a cat, you know that he is right--their little butts do look pretty chapped. Frankly, Jack didn't seem to mind. And the only question to really ask at that point was whether it was the FIRST time Eli had done that to the cat's behind --or the hundredth. And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever because it reminds us that no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures, there will always be that day when you realize they've been using your chapstick on the cat's butt.

Smiles!!

There is nothing like a sweet little baby!!
We are all so excited about her!! Just wanted to share some sweet shots!! Enjoy your day!! Love~m

Say a little prayer for you...

Maymie is working on saying her own prayers. They are so sweet!! I was very lucky to tape one that was at dinner. Listen closely is starts off by thanking for the food, Kayla (Austin's dog), then Pop (Austins Grandad), Stacey and her kids(I think she means her baby), then Leigh and Marleigh. It is funny how she has turned her night prayer that we say together into her own version no worries we do pray for the rest of our family. Enjoy and make it a great day! ~m

Fun outside!

Today was so pretty we had to get out and play! I told the girls that we were going to get a surprise! I lathered them up in sunscreen, into the bathing suits then out the door we go.... Maymie kept saying we going to the swimming pool... well not the pool but we did get into some water!! Yesterday Leigh and I saw this princess hop stock sprinkler. I knew they would have a blast... and they did!! Maymie talked me into going through and she is wild cause that water was cold!!! Hope you enjoy!! ~m

Flower Fun!

It is funny how to one it is a weed, but to another it is a beautiful flower. To Matt and I the clover flowers are not the ideal flower that we want in the yard. Maymie on the other hand thinks that they are great. So I thought I could at least make them into something that was cute. I made a necklace and then she wanted two matching bracelets. Then before my eyes the weeds turned into beautiful flowers! It is funny how little ones can change how you

look at the world that can be full of weeds!!!
Enjoy with love

Getting out and about is not as easy...

So you just had a baby and you are thinking how do people leave the house? You cannot possible take everything you need ( the swing, boppy, pack and play, blankets, diapers, wipes and everything else in the house except the kitchen sink.) Well I have struggled with this since Maymie was born. Church on Sundays are the earliest we get out. Today was Leigh and Marleigh's first real outing with just the two of them. We talked last night and I asked if she would come down and see us. So I talk to her about 9'sh and she says she was heading to the bathroom to shower up... then at about 11sh and she was drying her hair then at 1:30 she calls and says they are in the car and coming.... Pretty good!! We had lunch around 2ish and then all a sudden it was after 4!! You do not move around very fast when you are shopping with a almost three year old around Babies r Us! Well we had a great time and I think Leigh enjoyed getting out! And of course we loved having them!!

Whenever Nana and Pop Pop get the pool open we will have a great get away!!
Popa you like the tie-die!!!
Enjoy!!

Be sure to press play and watch the piggy story!!

John Mills 1st birthday party!!! The cook out at the Ladd's! Thanks for having us!!

Love to dress up!

So my Great Aunt Billie sends me all types of goodies and in one of my packages I received lots of beads(I call them beans)!!! I love to put them all on and play dress up! Mom dropped the ball Thursday when we went to Leigh's(she forgot the camera~ that is not like her!!) so sorry no new pictures of Marleigh! But she is getting bigger at her last Dr. appointment she was 21 in. 6~4oz~ She is growing like a weed!!! Make it a good one~

The Zoo!

On Monday we went to the zoo! Had lots of fun and learned some more of the real names of the animals -- brownie the sheep!
