Happy Birthday Uncle Nate!

Nate turned 28 yesterday and the girls had a great time planning his birthday!  We had a sports theme party because he likes "baseball" and they went around the house gathering up every orange thing they could find because Nate's favorite color is orange. :)



Even Abby joined in the fun!


The girls said it was the best birthday party ever!

Outdoor fun!

It is finally starting to get warmer in OK....This weather is so crazy, and the girls love to play outside....In fact this weekend we are planting a huge garden and I am soooo excited about eating fresh veggies all summer long!  The girls are constantly playing race up and down the front porch....I don't know why Emma insists on riding the baby car!




Sweet Gracie


Emma has worn this crazy pumpkin hat all day!  She loves it, even if she looks silly!  We got to skype today with Daddy, they sure miss him!

I heart faces photo challege: Best face of February 2011

This is my favorite face from February......I didn't like February that much since my husband left for Afghanistan with the Marine Corps.....but my sweet new baby and my big girls made me happy, even if we were all sad that Daddy left.  This is my precious 4 month old Abby!  I love her pouty lip!  Check out the other entries here!

Good Morning Sunshine!

Took some pics of my baby waking up this morning.....I love her sweet smile when I go in to get her up....this was actually her second time getting up....the first time she got up was 5 am.....I put her back to bed and she woke up again about 8!  Abby is such a sweet baby!

Playing at the park!

We had a blast playing at the park!   Emma has no fear and will do every slide....Gracie will go down most of the slides, just not the biggest ones....She is so funny how she is timid about certain things....not Em, who is constantly climbing on everything, falling off stuff, and getting hurt all the time!  The kids loved the park, but I'm still getting used to crazy wind all the time....makes me miss North Carolina!


This park is awesome and so great that it is super close to my parent's house!


Sweet Emma...

I heart faces photo challenge: Anything but a face

This is one of my favorite photos of the girls from last spring....My girls pretty much wear dresses every day...and they love to wear their rain boots!  I love this pic because Gracie's boots are on backwards....you can see Emma's sweet chubby knees...and their adorable little hands....This Mommy will cherish this pic always!  They had so much fun that spring day!  Check out the other pics here!
