Part 2

Miss Priss all ready for swimming lessons, until she realized we still had 30 minutes to leave.

Then this happened...

Yes, I get this face quite often these days...

She did great at swimming lessons. She is a little fish and loves the water. She wasn't very good at kicking though, so we have been practicing in the bath tub. She LOVES to jump off the side of the pool!

Enjoying a cool treat after a HOT day.

This past weekend we did some more swimming. Poor thing was covered in 8 layers of sunscreen, a short sleeve shirt, and a sun hat! There was NO way the sun was burning this gal. That's what happens when daddy dresses her! :)

Playing in the garden hose, one of her very favorite things to do.

Baby JAAAAACKKKKKKK(as Maggie says).....Is he not the cutest thing you ever did see???!!!! Just look at those cheeks!

Fathers Day this year was wonderful. I was feeling a bit emotional as I reflect on how very blessed I am. I have the world's best dad. I only wish I could share him with everyone around the world who doesn't have a dad like him. I also have the world's best husband, who is also a fantastic dad!! You should come to my house around 5:30 every evening when Brian comes home from work. The look on Maggie's face will tell you right away what a wonderful dad he is!!

The Moore Family

Luuuuv You Mamma

This is what Maggie tells me now. I really don't know a sweeter sound than the sound of that. It warms my heart like no other.

Maggie is really talking a lot these days. She repeats pretty much anything you ask her to say. She is putting 3 and 4 words together now. She counts to 10 like 1,2,5,8,9,10. We are missing some numbers so we've been working on that. ha! She is sweet as pie and I could just eat her up.

We've spent alot of time outside playing. Planting flowers, watering flowers, playing in the baby pool, blowing bubbles, etc. etc. The girl goes to the door and begs to go outside. I have a feeling I will spend many afternoons in the baby pool with her this summer!

She removed all the books out of her crate and thought it was the funniest thing in the world to climb inside.

1 1/2 is definitely my favorite age. I know I said all the others were but I promise this is my favorite. If I could only freeze time...

Things to come...

1- I'm working on her big girl room now! Pics to follow

2- We start swimming lessons in 2 weeks. I can't wait!!

3- Potty training...maybe. She is definitely showing signs she wants to...but do I want to?????

Brians Birthday

I have to document Brians bday so we will remember what we did. Maggie stayed at my parents house that night so Brian and I could enjoy a night on the town! Well we went to dinner at Tabellas and were home by 8 o'clock! ha! Now many years ago, we would have taken this opportunity for some fun out on the town. But I guess we are old folks now. We ate dinner, stopped at Walgreens and bought gummy bears, came back and put on our jammies and rented a movie in bed! It was wonderful!! Now that is what I call a perfect night!

A Promotion, Mothers Day, and Babies Galore!

Promotion- I would first like to congratulate my hard working husband for his recent promotion at BancorpSouth. He is now Assistant Vice President!! He has been a commercial lender at the bank for 3 years and I've never heard him complain a day in his life. He deserved this more than anyone and we are all so proud of him!!

Mothers Day- We had a wonderful low key Mothers Day. Went to church as a family then went over to my parents house for lunch. Maggie was soooo sweet and gave me some flowers and a gift certificate for a full body massage!! She must have known I needed one!!

playing on the stairs even though she knows she is not supposed to!!

loves to rock

all the girls...Happy Mothers Day Mom!!! I couldn't be the mom I am today if it wasn't for your steadfast love and devotion to us girls!! I hope I'll be half the mom you are!

And Happy Mothers day to my Mother in Law as well!! She is one amazing woman herself. I am married to the most God fearing, kind hearted, loyal man I know and I contribute most of that to her! She did an amazing job...and yes...I am a little biased.:)

Babies Galore- Is it my age or the season but everyone is pregnant or having babies these days!!! In just the last month, Heather welcomed twin boys! Then the next week my sister welcomed sweet Jack. Then Amanda welcomed beautiful Saylor. Now, this past weekend my long time friend, Mary Clayton, welcomed little Jay into their family! My other friend, Amber, is due this Friday to have her baby!! Goodness that's a lot of sweetness going around!! Is there something in the water?!!

Easter 2011

Mags had a fun filled Easter weekend. Warning: TONS of pictures

Wednesday night Dada was out of town so Mags and I dyed Easter eggs. Or should I say Maggie did, she would NOT let me touch her eggs or help her out at all!!!! This was very hard for me bc I wanted to show her how to do it and help her make "pretty" eggs, but I had to sit back and let her learn on her on. She is Miss Independent for sure!!

Standing guard over her eggs, still would NOT let me touch them!

Thursday was Maggie's Easter Egg Hunt and party at school!!

She did so great! I was worried she wouldn't know what to do, but she caught on immediately and had a basket full of eggs by then end!

Sometimes we need a little help from our friends:)

Chowing down on her party food

Sunday the Easter Bunny stopped by our house. He must have known Mags has been such a good girl!!

As soon as she saw her new piggy book, it was over. She didn't want to see what else the Easter Bunny brought.

Until she saw her new tennis racket, and then it was really over! This girl is athletic!! She knew exactly what to do with the tennis racket and was really quite good. YaYa gave her a soccer ball last week and she kicks it all around the house. I think we will have this girl in sports as soon as she is old enough! I can't wait!

Then we got dressed and waited on everyone to come over for lunch. We went to our church's Saturday night Easter service, which was really nice to relax and enjoy each other Sunday morning. We had everyone over to our house for Easter lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt in the backyard!

The bubbles were a huge hit! Thanks Easter Bunny!

My 2 lovies just LOVE each other so much:)

The Easter Bunny stopped by YaYa and Pops too and brought her a new baby buggy! She loved it and pushed it all around the house, running into my walls several times too!

Very excited about the Velveteen Rabbit

And the hunt begins...

So proud of herself for finding all the eggs!

And how special to have the 2 great grandmothers here too!!

Hope everyone had a blessed Easter! I know ours was!!
