my pie is in the oven...

We went to the strawberry patch today!  I know, we pick the HOTTEST days to do outdoor events, LOL.  It actually wasn't too bad, Violet gave up first and I found her sitting in the stroller.  I have to say the picture of her in the strawberry box with the crates on her head was NOT staged, I promise...I cannot believe I got my camera on fast enough to capture the picture.  Lucy loved picking this year, I figured she would and it was especially easy today, there were hundreds every few feet, it was awesome.  After picking we dropped some strawberries off at Miss Suzanne's....they also happen to have a swimming pool and the girls were thrilled to jump in after mommy had them out in the 87 degree heat like they were slaves.  p.s. my pie is in the oven...breakfast will be delish, come on over!

bye bye BaBa

 This weekend we celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary and this week we are celebrating no more bottles for Violet!  I know, it is way overdue... it is what it is.  So, Monday morning we put the bottles out with the trash and we are heading into day three!  She is doing great!  Hope everyone is having a great week and has a fun long Memorial weekend.

VIolet's big girl bed...

 Violet has a big girl bed!  I did not want to be working on this the week before our new baby arrived, so Grandma C. came over tonight to put together Violet's big girl room.  We kept the crib in her room, since she has not gotten out yet, we didn't want to force it on her.  However, Daddy and I both thought she would be over the moon feeling like a big girl and we were right...Tonight at bedtime, she did not want to go into her crib, it was so cute.  She tried for an hour to get herself to sleep in her new bed, she wanted it so bad, but finally gave up, put her arms in the air to go in her crib and was out like a light in seconds.  We shall see what the rest of the week brings, maybe she will figure it out and be done with the crib... hard to believe our sweet Violet is growing up so fast.

 

Violet's first haircut

Violet had her first haircut last night! It is so hard to decide to do this, they instantly look older. I miss her baby hair, but now we are ready for the pool!!

Mom's Spring Fling

Today was "Mom's Spring Fling" at Lucy's school. It was so nice. Lucy made me a necklace and I got a special seat next to her for a snack. The teachers read each Mom a story their child wrote about them, they were just adorable. They gave each of us a poem and key chain and sang songs to all the moms. Today was so special to me, I will remember it forever.

Happy 4th Birthday Lucy!

Tuesday was Lucy's 4th birthday! She had a "My Little Pony" party on the weekend(with a real pony, of course.) On her actual birthday we got to have a celebration at her school and then a fun family day/night. Love you LuLu Bug!

Easter/Daddy's bday etc.

Oh my gosh, my last blog was Dec. 1, I miss it so much! After such a fun weekend and so many of you asking for an Easter picture, I decided to jump on and post! This weekend was crazy fun, we had Daddy's birthday, an egg hunt at Andy and Liz's house, Easter and Lucy winning first place in the coloring/decorating egg contest at Allisonville Nursery! Since Mommy won the bunny coloring contest at Hooks Drugs back when I was ooooo probably 6 years old (winning a Polaroid camera), I was especially proud of Lucy's win.







Biggest news for our family since December 1 is that we are expecting our 3rd baby in August and we have since found out that it is a boy! Super busy here at 23 weeks, but hoping to keep posting, miss you all and will catch up reading blogs soon too!
