March 2015


Marvelous March

Enoing on the weekends when the weather is nice....

Whoever invented the eno....GENIUS.

Headed out to see Papaw for a visit and somebody lost their FIRST TOOTH....
I heard, "Mommy.....Jenna just pulled my tooth out"

Hair CUTS...Had not had a haircut since fall.....It was SO time to shave these two heads.

CONGRATS to Daddy....YOUNG OD OF THE SOUTH!
Couldn't be more proud.

Auburn Gymnastics Meet with my girlies....So much fun. 
Running through the rain, chick fil a on the way back home. Stopping at every gas station along the way for Mommy to get coffee to stay awake driving back. MEMORIES!

And the Season Begins...
.WITH A CANCELED OPENING DAY

Image

But at least we have the Dollar Store...and James' Bubba teeth to keep things in perspective.....

A few days later after the rain went away, we had JD's first baseball game. It was AWESOME!

HE had a huge game. Lots of great plays. Got the game ball!!!!
Way to go JD!

Weekday ritual....reading on a blanket in the sunshine....keeping Gus entertained.

And of course, my oldest; lovely, teenager...looking way too grown up here. I still remember  her diaper days like yesterday!

TOOTH FAIRY....AGAIN.....Geesh.....two teeth in a month!

Image

FREEZING....James D and Mommy were wrapped up snuggling the body heat!

Part of me realizes now, that baseball is going to be a part of our springtime.....probably for a while...like 20 years or so....LOL!

James Daniel building villages...(with rockets and super powers of course)


Image

Ellie Bug was SICK...this was an all nighter....She and I both paced the floors and sat up ALLLLL night. Poor baby was MISERABLE.
Cellulitis. THE most pain I think she has been in, other than the intetinal rotavirus that we thought was appendix a few years ago. 


Image

And then......"the sun will come out tomorrow.." LOL!
Ellie has piano with Mrs Angie every Saturday morning, lucky for Ellie, Mrs Angie loves to bake and pretty much SPOIL her rotten.....



Image

BEST FRIENDS!!! What a gift this lil girl is in my lil girl's life. They have so much fun together, but also have that friendship that time stands still for.....They might not see each other for months, and then when they get together, it is like no time has passed. Precious friendship.

SNOW doubt about it, we NEVER get the snow they predict!!!

SNOW.......No, No, No, Mommy, please don't make us go to bed now.....
We waited ALLLLL day for the flippin snow, and it didn't come until 9pm!!!!!

Image
Absolute beauty here. Look at that sweet smile. Got a new baby doll at a yard sale and is truly SO happy.

Headed to our first Saturday morning baseball practice. 
I have a feeling there will be MANY more of these Saturday morning practices.

THE TWO who LOVE GUS the MOST!
Jenna and James Daniel. 
Always snuggling and loving on him. ALWAYS....

The only two kids who wanted to actually go out and "play in the snow"...
Everybody else said "No thanks, too cold...and I don't feel like getting all wet before school"
