teething

Sad for my lil' Briles. she has had a rough couple of nights and clingy days. her teeth next to her front 2 teeth are breaking through. she is getting bigger by the second, i can't stand it. she is doing great at the moment chowing on a waffle and banana. when she does feel good this child loves to eat! :-)

April 3, 2010

January, February and March will just have to wait. My camera is still MIA :-( so it will not be exciting to post without photos this month. I have my mom's camera right now so I have some photos to share.

The girls and I started off April on St. George Island. It was a fun and crazy time with lots of kiddos and their mommies! Thank you KT and eli for including us on this trip. I laughed as I signed the journal as I left....Spring Break 1995 (I think) compared to Spring Break 2010 - oh how the times have changed! I'm sure KT (the Carson family) or Jill (the Pope family) will have more details of the week. Their blogs are on my side bar.

Today our church (Wildwood) hosted a community egg hunt/bbq/pony rides/petting zoo/bouncies. It was a beautiful day, Andy's parents got in town last night, so it was so much fun to celebrate and run around with them. Mabry was a bit overwhelmed by all the action. We missed the 3year old egg hunt, so she went with the 4/5 group. She was very quiet today, but had lots of fun. I think petting the bunny, riding the pony and sliding down the giant slide with her daddy were her favorite!

We are so excited to spend some time with Grandma Janet and Papaw Doug! They are going to visit family in South FL tomorrow but will be back Tuesday night to enjoy the rest of the week with us.

I hope to be consistent documenting our adventures in April!

We got to make up gymnastics class on Friday with Kent and Eli :-)

Good thing...

good thing I am more motivated to sew, exercise, read, text, etc. than I am to update my blog. girlies forgive mommy - I will try to post what we do so when you ask me one day I will have a clue...

was going to at least post a couple new pictures, but my camera is MIA.

Getting Motivated

So a friend told me a long time ago how you can get your blog printed. So I am going to TRY and do a monthly (at least) post what happened during that month. I am going to start with January 2010 and go from there. I think this would be awesome if I actually do it. Unfortunately I have a horrible memory, so this gets me excited that I will have something to look back on and I won't have to print out tons and tons of pictures!

It would be a totally boring post if I left it at that, so I will tell you some tid bits...

my cousin Madeleine has been staying with us since Wednesday, I love quality time with my precious cousin (so does Mabry!)

all my cousins ROCK!

Briley drank out of a sippy cup today, we are down to nursing 3 times a day. We will try to go to 2 times a day (morning and night) by the end of the month.

i ate a snickers bar for snack today

Mabry is taking a nap right now.

Briley loves to eat "people" food - she snagged Lilly's quesdilla today.

I am looking forward to sewing this weekend.

Andy had a GREAT time in Colorado! I am so glad he had the opportunity to go out there. I missed him and I am so glad he is home!

Mabry is now up and Briley is playing peek-a-boo.

must go...

:-)

Happy Birthday Mabry!!!

Dear Mabry,

Mommy and Daddy love you so much! We are having a hard time believing that you are already 3! You bring us so much joy each day. I think just today you were called Sassy a couple of times, and you hold true to that. You have so much spunk and personality, we could eat you up! You love to be outside, riding your scooter, tricycle, playing on your park,etc. You love to read- we could read books all day. You love chocolate, hmmmm - I wonder where you get that from!?!? You LOVE Briley and "Racky", both get a tad overwhelmed when you try and carry them around! You love to play with your friends, do yoga videos on the kids fitness channel, watch Mickey Mouse, Dora and mommy's favorite Sid the Sciene Kid, you love to play at "Hello Kitty" (Learning Express) for hours and hours. You love to get popcorn chicken and a cookie at Publix. You love to spend time with g-mommy and poppa and gigi. Your new thing is telling us stories. You are so creative and get so excited when sharing these stories! I could go on with the things you love to do and things that we love to do together...but I'll wrap it up and say, Mabry, thank you for being you, we love you and are so grateful for you. We pray that you grow up to love the Lord Jesus and desire Him in all that you do. Always know that mommy and daddy LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!!
Happy 3rd Birthday Noodle!
Love,
mommy and daddy

my heart turns to mush....

Miss Mabry will be 3 in just a couple of weeks! These pictures are some of those moments when my heart turns to absolute mush! She got the scooter for Christmas and we take it with us everywhere. She loves it!!! I love it! Check out the before feeding the nasty ducks, I mean, ducks and then after. They were quite aggressive - yikes! The other pictures are her first day of ballet. She is the youngest one and looks so tiny. She has only had 2 classes, she loves it and mommy loves to peek in the window and watch her...like I said - mush!

It's January

January, already a new year....and halfway through the month! It has been a big month for Miss Briley. So far she has learned how to say mama, wave bye bye, clap, and has blown a kiss. She lives on my hip most of the day. She loves playing with her toys but it usually lasts about 20 minutes before she is ready to snuggle again. She still does not nap, well not really. An hour today, 38 minutes yesterday....not much napping for an 8 month old! I guess her big sister teaches her that! Mabry is getting too big, it is so crazy to me that she will be 3 in a month. Some of my favorite things to do with her these days is to watch her ride her scooter and try to keep up with her, play candyland, color on her "weasal" easel, watch her play with her sister.... stinkin cute girlies! I love love love being able to stay home with them, it is such a blessing! THANK YOU HUBBY!!! I'll post some pictures from December, but way too many pictures between now and my last post. Most of them are facebook albums if you want to check out more photos.
I really want to post more often so I will remember what we have been up to. A friend of mine said she found a website that will print off your blog...I need to do that for my children's sake. I have the worst memory and I'm afraid I will have a hard time telling them about their childhood. Yikes! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and is enjoying the start of 2010!
