Spring Break Fun!

This week has really gone by very fast!! I did get a lot accomplished plus I got to spend time with my girls. Monday and Tuesday were spent at home will tons of laundry......that is a never ending job!! On Wednesday we spent the day with my sister Tammy where we ate at Dip-N-Dog on East Limestone road (it reminded me of Christo's) for lunch. Thursday was the big day of the week........the dentist and pictures! Here are some of the pictures that I have on C.D.

It is so hard trying to get two children to smile at the same time! This one was the best of all......oh well at least Lillian is showing a more natural smile instead of a silly one!

To me the background is crooked but nice smile!
Precious!

One of my favorites!

Before the pictures Lillian had her first dentist appointment. It did not go very well. We started off good and then ended bad! Ms. Angela wanted to brush her teeth and we made it through the top teeth fine and when she had to go back for more toothpaste then we had the meltdown for the bottom teeth. Lillian sat in my lap for the top but for the bottom we had to lay her down. Try picturing this......another assistant holding Lillian's legs and I holding her arms! We made it through it and then when she could go and get her prize which was lip gloss everything was fine. The dentist then came to check her teeth and she had to lay back down and didn't miss a beat by letting him count her teeth. Thankfully everything looked good so that they didn't have to do anything else. Aunt Tammy went along with us to help out with Abby since Chris was sick and couldn't go. When we came out, Aunt Tammy asked Lillian how did she like the dentist and this was her reply, "I didn't like the dentist." Oh, no what did I do to her.......I thought by taking her to a pediatric dentist would make going to the dentist fun. I hated going to the dentist and I want Lillian to like going to the dentist. Hopefully our next visit in six months will be better!!

I did not get an after shot of the meltdown.

Abby loves the jumping johnny!Peek-A-Boo! I See You!

Friday was so beautiful!! Lillian stayed out most of the day. When Abby woke up from her afternoon nap I took her out too. It felt so good to be outside. It just makes me want the warm weather to stay! Can you believe that they are calling for snow on Monday????

Ready to slide

Lillian thinks she is really big when Abby gets to slide down on her lap. Abby is enjoying every minute of it!

Loves the outdoors!

Today I let Abby try a cracker and believe it or not she actually knew how to eat it. I would tell her to bite it and she would but I would have to watch because every now and then she would want to put the whole thing in her mouth. She loves feeding herself! Tomorrow she will be 8 months old! Before you know it she will be on whole milk and that will mean savings $$$$$!

Yummy!

Hope everyone enjoy the warm weather as much as we did! Only 9 more weeks of school left until the summer!!!!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Lots of things have been going on here lately and I haven't had time to blog. But I hope to catch up with this post. I can't believe that we have had as much snow as we had. Here are some pictures of Paw Paw pulling Lillian on the sled. By the time that they got out to play in the snow, it was almost gone. I wanted so bad to get Abby out in it too since she has never been out in it. I at least managed to get a quick picture of her and Paw Paw.

So much fun!

To be little again!
Abby out in her first snow!

Lane and Brady have been doing some work on their rental house so we thought that we would drop by to see what was going on. The end of April will be here before you know it.

Thursday night we had a program at school that we were suppose to have last week since it was "Read Across America." I took Lillian with me. She had a blast!

Enjoying snacks!

Lillian was so proud of herself. She was not scared of the clown. She talked to Cookie and even got to reach inside her magic purse to get a sticker. Cookie was the only thing that she talked about all the way home. She even said that Cookie was a nice clown.

I am going to enjoy this next week to the max because it is Spring Break!!!!!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Maw Maw!!

Last Saturday night we celebrated my mom's birthday at my sister Robin's house with tons of great breakfast food! We always have a great time when we all get together. Hope and pray my mom gets to have plenty of more birthdays to celebrate!!

Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend!! I am so ready for warm weather and I hope that this weekend is full of sun!!

Clements Lady Colts 2A State Basketball Champs!!

Wow, what a game!! The Lady Colts are the 2A State Champs!!! They made history for the school! Glad that we were able to see them enjoy that blue trophy!! Lillian cheered real hard for the Colts with her pom poms. I also took Anna with us which I think she enjoyed getting out of school early more so than the game.

Cheese!!!

Lillian and Anna
Final Score!!

Congrats to the Lady Colts!!

Lillian and her buddy Jordan

Good luck to Jordan next year wherever she plays ball in college!! What a way to go out your senior year!!

A very tired cheerleader!

Only two more weeks until Spring Break!!!!!! Looking for warm weather!!

Sisters having fun!

We have been in for a while since Abby has been sick. Hopefully we are on the mend! Abby has been very fussy and we have been trying to find ways to make her happy. Well, I think we found a way. She loves to ride with Lillian on the Barbie cycle!

Getting ready to ride!

Get ready, set, go!!!
Fun, fun, fun!

Lots of laughs!!

I am hoping that Friday I can get someone to sit with what kids I have left in my room so that I can go to the Lady Colts 2A basketball championship game. Hopefully we will be cheering for the Lady Colts to bring home the blue!!!!

A Very Busy Weekend

We have had a very busy weekend! I did get to see Abby crawl the next morning after Chris told me that she was crawling. She uses those elbows and digs in the floor with one leg. I cannot believe that she is crawling already. You can't stop her now!!!!!!

Watch out Lillian............here I come!!!!!
That book is mine!!

On Saturday Lillian went to Allie Lovell's 2nd birthday party at Suzanne's Bakery where they played games and decorated cookies. Lillian had a blast! We hope that Allie had a great birthday!!

The Birthday Girl................Allie!

Playing musical chairs

Breaking in Allie's tricycle

Lillian did better than I thought she would decorating her cookies.

Lillian and Abby had a great Valentine's Day. Lillian got a "Hello Kitty" purse and some feathery pens to write on her "Hello Kitty" notepad and Abby got some sippy cups and some outfits for the summer. Paw Paw and Maw Maw gave both of them some sandals for the summer and Mimi gave them both teddy bears.

Baby's First Valentine's Day!

Showing off her smile!

My first sippy cup!

Abby did very well with her sippy cup. I think she likes gnawing on the spout of the cup and then being able to get a sip here and there. I love snow but I think I am ready to see springtime!! We are tired of being in this house. But I did get a lot accomplished since we were not able to go anywhere today. Even better we have a 2 hour delay in the morning!! Anna and her friend Melissa came down to the house to get Lillian so that she could play in the snow. Lillian looked like a snowman herself when she entered the door. Even though she had fun in the snow she tells me frequently that she is ready for warm weather.

Lots of snow!!

We are so excited for Chan and Marla who are going to have a little girl named Allie! They found out today and now Abby will have someone to hand her monogrammed things to that have an "A" on them. Please keep them in your prayers that Allie will make her appearance in July! Lillian already has to explain to me which Allie she is talking about either Lane's friend Allie or Allie that we go to church with.............now it will have to be Marla's Allie. Hope everyone has a great week!!

Lots of Firsts

Abby has been having a lot of firsts that I haven't had time to blog about here lately. The first thing that happened was on January 24th when she started pushing herself backwards. She got stuck under our chair! I should have taken a picture of it but she was wanting out from under it. Then the next thing that happened was that her first bottom tooth appeared and then two days later her other bottom tooth appeared! This explains very well of why she hasn't been sleeping good here lately because she is my good sleeper.

My cutie pie!

Abby also went for her 6 month check-up and she weighed a big 18 pounds and 4 ounces. Only 9 more pounds away from out weighing Lillian!! I thank God that she was as healthy as can be! She has definitely become a screamer. She loves to just holler especially when she wants something. I just pray that she doesn't do it in church!!

My other cutie pie!

Smile for the camera!

Clowning around with Daddy!
Fun night with some besties!!

Bath time!

Lillian loves to lay in the bathtub like the picture. I am not sure why she likes to do this but she enjoys it and maybe this lets me know that she is ready for swimming lessons this summer. Back to Abby and her firsts.........Chris told me over the phone tonight that she is crawling forward now when she really wants something!! I hope to get a glimpse of it tonight. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
