Happy Birthday Pawpaw David

Friday Night was Paw Paw David's birthday so we all went up to Grammy & PawPaws for pizza, ice cream and cake. It's a rare occasion that all the grandkids are there together, and 9 out of 10 were there from the party. It's pretty hard to get 9 kids to pay attention to someone taking a picture, so this was about the best mommy could do. LtoR its Me, BJ, Jake holding Lewis, Kari holding Abbie, and on the front row Hunter, Kyle & Anna Grace. What a crew! I was exhausted by the time we got home.

Anna Grace & Abbie were playing girlie stuff like Dolls, and house. No fun for me!

A Cow says MOO

I love reading my books about farms and I love when we get to the Cow page because the Moo'ing is my favorite part! Well Mommy & Me went down to Katrina's last night and her sister's farm is right behind her house.. well I got to see some moo cows Up close and personal! They thought we had sugar feed for them so they came right up to the fence. I was a little concerned about her big tongue lickin me, so I let mommy do all the petting! That is cloverbud and her mom. She was born about 2 weeks ago. Did I mention that I LOVED playing outside down there?! It's so much fun to just run around and Katrina's boxer dog Josie chased me all over the place!

Cloverbud finally came up kinda close to the fence to see us, but she was still kinda scared. There are two more babycalfs that should be making their entrance into the world w/in the next few weeks so I can't wait to go back and see them!

Junior Miss Queen of Hearts

We had pageant #2 for the American Heart Association, the Junior Miss Queen of Hearts on Saturday night. I'm a pageant committee member, but I had to pull triple duty that night because not only did I do regular pageant stuff, we clogged in the pageant and I also dressed my neice Kari last minute. And let me just say she looked beautiful! We had 20 girls up for Queen, and ended up raising over $6000.00 for the Alleghany Heart Unit!! The next pageant is the Young Miss Queen of Hearts which is the one April & I are directors, whew..its a lot of work, but its all worth it!
After the pageant we stopped to pose for a quick pic in the hall, Kari just wanted to get her dress off! Kari & Katelynn during the parade of contestants. It was kinda neat since they are family that they were together. Katelynn placed and got 2nd runner up

She did an awesome job in all her categories, but her dress was beautiful!

I can't believe how grown up she is.

Yay for SUNSHINE!

The week started out with 5 inches of snow, and by Friday it was 70 degree weather. And let me just say it was absolutely WONDERFUL! I got off a lil early on friday so I picked up Landon and decided to go to the playground for a while before pageant practice. It was Landon's first time at the park since he's actually been big enough to do anything, and while he was leary at first, he warmed up really fast. It was great to spend the afternoon with him.
Here he is watching the boys play basketball. He looks so grown up here, not to mention he's standing JUST like his daddy does. He even made his way over to the courts and some boys let him throw their basketball around a little.. Then Daddy left work early and came to play!

He cried when I first put him in the swing, but once he realized how fun it was that quickly changed.. "Hey mom I could get used to this jungle gym thing...

How can you not fall in love with that face?!

Four years already?!

We celebrated our four year anniversary on March 5th. It's hard to beleive what all has happened in just 4 short years. We've lived in Atlanta, two different houses, and had a wonderful baby boy. We celebrated by taking Landon over to Grammy & PawPaw's and we went to eat at Cat&Owl..super yummy. I waited all day to stuff myself and I felt like someone needed to roll me out of there! They even brought little candles in our dessert :) I surprised Jonathan with a gun that he had put on layaway last week. I was super sneaky and called Cindy at Alleghany sportsman and went after work to pay for it and register it. I even traded vehicles w/ april so Jonathan wouldn't see me pull in the parking lot (it's right across from the funeral home) He was very surprised and I still cant' beleive I spent money on that.. I might plead temporary insanity ;)

Dirty Laundry

So I figured if I just got in my dirty clothes basket mom would get the hint that I was ready for my bath. Here's your sign mom...

Dad where are you?!

Landon was concerned that his Daddy wasn't home at his usual time, so while I was cleanin up I heard him yelling over the banister. Poor thing just wanted his daddy home to play! It's so sweet.
