ROCK THE VOTE

We went to vote this evening. I hope you all did too :-) Emily was very excited that she was getting to go with us. Meme and I went together so I would not have to haul the girls in. We took turns going in while the other stayed in the car with the girls. Thanks mom, you are always there for me. You help make my life so much easier.Well imagine Emily's disappointment when we got there and there was no boat! Even after explaining it to her several times that we were going to vote not to go on a boat. As we drove off she was still disappointed that she did not get to go on a boat ride. Bless her heart. I know we have many years to come but I look forward to teaching she and Abby how important and what a privilege it is to get to vote.

What a happy girl

Mommy, Emily & Abby

Last night Emily, Abby, Lisa, and I had a girls night. Daddy is on a fishing trip and Meme went out of town.We went to Emily's school for dinner, art show, and auction. Emily had a lot of fun playing with her friends from school. Emily was very proud to see her art work on display. Thank goodness aunt Lisa came with us b/c Abby started not feeling well with a cough and a sneeze. Then my sweet Abby spit up in Lisa's hand :-( sorry Lisa. After all of that excitement I won a silent auction for $20.00. I won a free dinner from MOM'S Secret Chef (precooked dinner to go)wooooohooooo!! One night I will not have to cook!

A DAY AT THE PARK!

This Monday we meet friends at Burroughs Park. I had never been there before but will be sure to go back. It is really nice with lots of stuff for the kids to do. The weather was perfect! There was a nice breeze and lots of sunshine. There were lots of friendly squirrels. Cathy brought some bread for the kids to feed the ducks but the squirrels had other plans. When the bread ran out we went for a walk. First we went on an alligator hunt. Then to a bridge that all the kids loved. It was fun watching the kids find sticks and try to use them as fishing poles :-). As usual sweet little Abby slept through the whole thing. I can't wait to go back when she is awake before it gets to hot!

IT IS HARD WORK TO SMILE

HOW DO ALL OF THESE PARTS WORK TOGETHER?

THIS IS MORE LIKE IT!

ALMOST THERE!!

THE REAL DEAL!!!



Abby had been working on perfecting her smile for a few weeks now. Every time I caught her smiling I would grab my camera. I got lots of cute practice shots and finally today I got the real deal! I thought is was worth sharing. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

OUR FUTURE SITTER!

I love this pic of Abby and Layne. It makes me want to cry. I can remember when Layne was that little. We have watched her turn into such a sweet young lady.

EMILY'S FIRST SLEEP OVER

Our little girl is growing up :-( Emily had her first sleep over this past weekend. She spent the night with her best buddy Ethan. Emily, Abby and I met Cathy and Ethan at the mall to play and have lunch. The kids talked Cathy into Emily going to there house to play. Bill was on his way to pick her up after work when I got a phone call form Cathy saying Emily is not ready to go home. She said why don't you just let her stay. I said no she need to come home. Cathy put Emily on the phone and she said in the sweetest voice "I don't want to come home. I want to sleep over Ethan's house". I continued to try and explain how much I would miss her and wouldn't she miss me? After several min of that I gave in and called Bill who said "Let her spend the night, you are going to have to some time. Well needless to say. She had a blast. She had so much fun she did not want to come home. In fact she was mad at Bill and I after Mr. Lance dropped her off. Thank you so much Cathy and Ethan!!

NEW HEADER!!!

I am in love with my new header. It was done for my by Cathy Hengst of Cathy Hengst Photography! She is the best!!!

Don't waste time Easter will be here before you know it.
