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!!

Flower Girl Dresses!!

I am so glad that I finally found the matching dresses for Lillian and Abby. Lane gave me the approval for the dresses. I looked for hours after hours looking for something that was ivory and in my price range. I feel like I got a good deal on these dresses. Also, they will wear them for Easter. I can't wait to see Lillian walking down the aisle throwing her rose petals and to see Abby being pulled in a wagon.

Precious looking!

I am so glad that it is Friday. My kids at work have really wore me out today. I am ready for the weekend! Hope everyone has a great one!!

Going to the Chapel and We're Gonna Get Married!!

Last night my niece Lane got a diamond! We are so excited for her and Brady!! We know that he is a very good catch!! The wedding is expected to happen on April 30th unless they change the date. Lane had Lillian announce that she got a ring. It is so pretty!! We knew that this was going to happen we just didn't know when it would be. Lillian and Abby will be the flower girls. Lillian has already been practicing dropping the petals. Abby will be pulled in a wagon since she may not be walking by then. I must begin looking for dresses!! We wish Lane and Brady the best!!!

Isn't it beautiful!!!!!

Well, now that we have been in for a while I am ready for Springtime!!!!!

National Champions!!!!!!!!

Wow, what a game!! We traveled up the road to my sister's house to watch the game. We had other invites but we thought that we might stay close to home because of the weather. All in all it was a wonderful night!!! National Champions, snow, and no school today.........nobody could ask for a better combination!!!

Ready for the Tide to Roll!!!

I needed to make Lillian a bigger Alabama hairbow to go with her cheerleader outfit. I made it about 30 minutes before we left. What do you think???? I think I did pretty good for a double bow. Amber, thanks for showing me how to do it without having to show the ends of the ribbon. That makes it a lot easier to do!

This Alabama family wishes you a great day!!

Snow days!

Since I am out for our snow days, I am trying to get my house clean so that I don't have to do it on my normal day which is Saturday. When you work that seems to be the only time that you can actually get housework done. I would love to do nothing on Saturday but relax!! But in the meantime Lillian and Abby seem to be having some fun of their own. Lillian loves pushing Abby in her walker and she also loves to get in it herself. I wished that I would have gotten a picture of Lillian sitting in it. She looked so funny sitting in it. Abby seems to enjoy the ride. Abby is growing everyday. She rolls all over the floor and is now putting her knees up under her belly. It won't be long until she will be crawling. She also shakes her head "no" now especially at Lillian. She is learning quick of how to deal with her big sister. Too funny!!

Wheeeeeee!

Push me some more!

I sure do hope that the Tide rolls over the Longhorns!! Have a great day!!
