babies and reptiles

This Thursday my dad came up so he could go to lunch with CC. Emory skipped school and came with him!

They got there a little early...lunch is at 10:53- no earlier! So we Emory played a little while on my smart board. Check out the E she made!!!

Then they all enjoyed lunch together and CC got to pick a friend:) Christian loves when people come eat with her:)

Pawpaw then took both girls back so he and Gran could spoil them!!

My friend, Shanna, was in town from Texas. Her little baby, Owen, was born while she lived in Arizona at 29 weeks and weighed around 2 lbs. This was him in the hospital. 

He went from 2 lbs to this adorable, chunky little 7 month old! It's the first time we got to meet him and he is even cuter in person! I just wanted to squeeze his cheeks and thighs every 2 seconds! He is so laid back and such a good baby. He was past around so many times and never cried once. 

 We scared him to death at first b/c when they came strolling up all the girls immediately started squealing! AFter he realized we just thought he was cute, he was fine! Isn't he the cutest!! I hate they live so far way:(:(

While the girls were away, they went to a reptile thing where they got to pet a bunch of weird things!

They both loved it!!

They got to see a mama and daddy turtle fighting over food and thought it was great!

Thanks for having them for the weekend Gran and Pawpaw! They had a blast:)

It's contagious

WATCH OUT....... WE have Bieber Fever around here!!!!!



Christian wants a Justin Bieber birthday party, so we ordered all things Justin!
Emory's not quite sure what all the screaming is about:)


Life-size Justin arrived today.



He hung out on our front porch for a while. I'm sure many people took a double take while driving by yesterday!!


EVen Bryan has the "FEVER"




Her party isn't until June, so I'm sure he'll be in many more pictures- haha!!

Easter Sunday

(picture overload- sorry!)

 The Easter Bunny came this morning! 

 Christian wrote him a note (not sure if you can read it from the picture) " Dear Easter Bunny give me some peeps today & I love peeps & my name is Christian". The Easter Bunny wrote back!!! 

 He also brought them a TON of candy and unicorn bath towels! We have a butterfly bath towel that they always fight over who will "be the butterfly" after bath. I'm glad the Easter Bunny thought to bring them both a better towel!!

 When my parents got to our house, we picked a flower to put in the cross at church. 

 how cute are these two!

 After a great church service, we went to brunch. 

It was a great day to celebrate 

"God gave Jesus to die for our sins, and he raised him to life, so that we would be made acceptable to God" -Romans 4:25

My two unicorns after their bath tonight

Happy Easter! I need to get back to eating my 500th Reese's cup egg

Easter Weekend

My parents came in town to celebrate Easter, and we spent Saturday swimming! It was so much fun and wore us all out! 

 CC, of course, jumped in without a second thought. 

 I wasn't sure what Emory would do, but she went right in without a second thought. But she wouldn't go down the slide:)

 they both had such a fun time

 We had dinner by the pool....Emory just ate her hotdog bun:)

 Gran got the girls the cutest beach hats for Easter. And Christian's matches her bathing suit perfectly.....Miss Priss!

Isn't her bathing suit adorable! I kinda want one for myself:)

Happy Easter

Fashion Show

A few of the spring clothes I've made for the girls.....

 This is my FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE fabric....isn't it cute! When we have our 10th girl:), I'm going to attempt to make bedding out of the this. Then the CC and EMory could wear their dress and match the bedding- hehe!!

 The front 

 the back

 My first dress I made w/o a pattern! Just looked at one of CC's dresses she already had. 

 The back- I love this fabric too!

 hard to see how cute the fabric is on CC's dress. and the cute ruffle sleeves. These dresses are so simple to make and adorable! 

 another ruffle top dress... next time I won't take pics in the sun so you can see how CUTE the fabric is. 

and just I think she's beautiful and love her to pieces! (only 23 more days until she turns 3- WOW!!)

Easter Things

We went to our church Easter Egg hunt and had a great time. It was at a park we had never heard of, but we loved it. It was shaded and small and so cute. We will definitely have to go back this spring and summer. 

 CC got half the eggs at the hunt, so we ended up sharing with some friends that got there a little late and only had one or two eggs! 

 Both girls had fun seeing their friends from Trinity.

 Emory made a new friend with a little girl who's mom is in my bible study. They birthdays are only a few weeks apart. They really had a fun time playing together. 

 The other day we saw a HUGE rainbow- isn't it pretty! 

 Here are our eggs we dyed. We turned them into a princess village

 the king and queen

 Emory made this one

(This is for you Mimi) CC made a very detailed Easter Egg with water colors. She took her time and felt like an artist- ha!~
