All Girls

For Mother's Day weekend, Olivia and I left the boys at home and traveled up to Memphis to surprise Nano. When we knocked on her door to surprise her I'm not sure who was more excited, Olivia or Nano. Olivia was so thrilled she just about split all the water out of the flowers on the front porch that were to be given to Nano. We also surprised Nano with tickets to Paul McCartney. You would have thought she won the lottery she was so excited. I'm pretty sure she touched the ceiling she jumped so high with joy. 

We then surprised her with tickets to the Women's luncheon at her church and invited Memaw and Aunt Amie to come too (thanks Laura for the secret invite). To say it was a good weekend would be an understatement. Maybe this girls trip should become a tradition....

Olivia and one of her favorite people in the whole world.

Memaw and Nano.

 Mom and Amie.

I am blessed to call this woman my mom. She has been there for all of us and our children and we could not ask for a better mother, friend and grandmother. I hope to carry at least half her legacy. 

Me and the sis. She's pretty good to have around too. ;)

My girl. 

This picture is to show you what a three year old does at a luncheon. Colors with a marker all over her face and lips. #neveradullmoment

We did have a couple of boys around for the weekend. They were good company.

Best buds.

Mr. and Miss Independent

Suddenly we have hit the independence stage with both children in our household at the SAME time.  

Miss Priss has hit the "I wanna do it by myself" stage. This stage has its pros and cons, I think. She can now buckle herself in her car seat but she also wants to pick out her own clothes and dress herself. I'm still trying to decide if the pros out weigh the cons. I'm thinking not....

This is the first time she picked out her own clothes and put them on by herself. The Mickey Mouse shirt is backwards and the shorts were put on through one leg hole with 100% of one butt cheek hanging out the back. Oh, and no socks. Nonetheless, she was so proud of herself and honestly, so was I. I convinced her to fix the shorts (thank goodness) but she wore the shirt backwards for the rest of the day. 

And this little guy....is now crawling everywhere and getting into everything including the dogs water bowl and even ventured into his sissy's room while she was still napping. #neveradullmoment

But those wrist rolls, dimples in his hands, thigh rolls and those perfect little feet make it all worth while.

Love my babies even if they are growing too fast and gradually not needing their momma like they used to.

Insta-May

What would we do without instagram these days? These pictures that are stored on my phone in the thousands (yes, way too many, I know) can tell such a sweet story of this season of our life. 

We often have "friends" join us on our daily activities. They get lots of attention from their little momma throughout the day. On this day our friend was Olivia, the pig. 

Just like his sissy, he could swing ALL day long.

Treat for the girl and the giraffe.

Rockin' this sweet baby cause babies don't keep.

Four generations. Blessed.

Our first furry baby. These lively additions to the family in the last few years has made her grey just like her momma and daddy.
