Update on House!

So the progress has been REALLY slow because IT HAS RAINED EVERY 3RD DAY FOR A MONTH AND A HALF STRAIGHT! WE EVEN HAD SNOW FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! But, finally the clouds parted for 5 days and we were able to get a driveway and the footings dug out..then it stormed for 5 hours straight---I am talking about STORMED..haha..so now we have big puddles of mud...but they assure me they can pump the water out and pour the concrete on Monday! Keep your fingers crossed for sunshine!

Happy Valentines Day!

On our way to Dance.....

I love this Dress....Aunt Heather bought this for Makayla and Now Mallory can wear it!

Makayla's Valentine party at school...Notice she is sitting around all the boys...She told me the other day that Benjamin kissed her on the cheek..but that she wiped it off and didn't kiss him back....I also saw her walking from the playground holding his hand the other day...of course she said she just did it because he was getting out of line....haha...what are we going to do with her!

Matching Valentines outfits....

Mallory's Bruise!

So it was a hectic morning...and Mallory was playing in her room...then decided she wanted to brush her teeth! Not sure why at that moment, but she wandered into the bathroom..crawled up on the toilet...reached up real high for the cabinet where her toothbrush is...and crash and crying is all I heard! She fell between the toilet and sink onto the garbage can..you can see the circle shape of the can on her face! Luckily it didn't cause any permanent scarring...

Has she learned her leason? No, I still find her climbing on EVERYTHING!!
Yes...She is only 1...she loves telling everyone that...

I love this outfit because of the hat..she actually wore it for a good length of time!

Happy Mardi Gras!

We went to Granny's in Gulfport this past weeekend. We went to the Pascagoula Parade with Granny and Shane, Jana, and Cooper...We had a blast and the Kids Loved it too.....It was a beautiful day with lots of warm sunshine...we actually got sunburned!

Throw me somethin Mister!

Mal Mal Waiting for the floats!!

Jana's first time at a parade...I had the kissing man come give her a paper rosee for a kiss..haha...

Snowing in Bogue Chitto!

We woke up this morning to snow!!! This was the first time the girls have seen it, much less build snowmen! They weren't real sure about it at first, but then they loved it! It only snows about every 10 years here....so this is a VERY BIG DEAL!!!

I am sitting here looking out the window and the snow is still on the ground!! Our low tonight is 21! BRRRRRR......

Brad went hunting...haha....
I enjoyed it for a little while----but tooooo cold for me----haha, I'm a Southern Girl!
Of course the downfall is the delay this will put on the house!!!
The back woods of the new house place! Isn't it pretty!

Mal Mal making snowballs!


Makayla trying to catch snowflakes on her tongue!

Nana and Popa and the dogs came over...they played in the snow with us for the second go around!
The neighbors house!

Look at all that snow! I think we got about 2 inches...It snowed for about 3 1/2 hours...

The snowman...the girls thought it was hilarious that it went for a slide!! haha

We have officially started on the house!

The dirt work has begun... The kids loved playing in it...and the dogs too...

I will keep you updated on the progress from time to time, but it is going to go slow - the weather has not been cooperating! haha!

We are building in Bogue Chitto right next door to where we live now..It is on abouth 16 acres. We can't wait! Those of you that know how long we have been planning this are probably excited too! haha

Merry Christmas with Granny!

So we were supposed to have Christmas in Gatlinburg in early Nov. but Heather and I had not shopped yet, so then we were going to have Christmas at Thanksgiving, but Heather and Josh got really really sick and could not travel 10 hours, sooooo.....we had Christmas in January....HAHA We were so glad Heather and Josh could travel to Mississippi form South Carolina, but we missed Uncle Rain and Madi---they couldn't make it..and Brad couldn't get the time off from work...but we had a good one with just the girls and josh...

Makayla Mallory and Josh!! Waithing patiently to open the presents! haha

Aunt Heather Josh and Makayla!

Granny and the Grandkids!

The Birthday Party!

The Birthday party was at MS Gym of Dreams again this year..That is what she wanted and I said "Great"..She wanted a Tinkerbell Party! There were about 45-50 people there and I think the adults had just as much fun as the kids!! Birthday Girl!

Make a Wish

We Jumped into the pit together! It took me forever to get out of it! Brought back some memories!!!

We were soooo glad Grannygot to come to the party!
