Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Tuesday March 31st, Rob's birthday!…actually the same day as Aunt Kerri (my sister)! When I asked Taylor how old Daddy was that day she said so matter of factly, “FORTY-FOUR!”
Ouch!!! I laughed and since Rob was standing right there, I just told her nicely that no Daddy is really only 32. Hope you had a great birthday Rob…We Love you!!

Sweet Taylor couldn’t wait to dry her hair first before singing Happy Birthday to her Daddy…

Visit with Sug

Our good friend Sug (Brandon) came to visit over the weekend. He held Caroline, posed for some pictures and even had a tea party with Taylor. These pictures were priceless and I had to post them! Sug is so good with kids and they absolutely loved him; he can baby-sit any time :)

Oh yes they were having a tea party!

Happy Birthday Grammy!!

When Taylor got up on Saturday morning I told her that it was Grammy’s (my Mom) birthday. Well the next words out of her mouth were, “We have to make her a CAKE!” Of course she emphasized the word cake as that is one of her favorite foods (what kid doesn't like cake?!) That rainy morning Taylor and I went to the store for cake mix and frosting. Taylor really wanted to get a Dora the Explorer cake topper but I was able to talk her into doing cupcakes and covering them with sprinkles. She was really excited about our baking session. She was such a big helper and even helped me clean the utensils….yummy!

Even Caroline wanted to help..she liked the box and measuring cup best!

That night we met the family out for dinner at the Mellow Mushroom…very yummy and kid friendly restaurant. We had a great time spending time with the family and celebrating Grammy’s special day! Grammy is a very special person and we are all so blessed to have her in our lives. Hope you had a wonderful birthday Grammy…Love you!

Princess Ellie and Taylor

Ellie loves to be a big helper with her baby cousins.


Silly Uncle Keith, give Skyler his hat back...
I think Caroline likes it though...

Grammy really wanted a picture of all the grandkids (minus Jake and Mason;we missed you guys!!!)..well we tried, my girls weren't interested

Sunday night we went over to Mimi and Popie (Rob's parents) to celebrate Grammy and Rob's Birthdays. We had a great evening. Love this picture...two special ladies in our lives!

Funny story; smart girl...

So I have several posts but just don't have the energy or time tonight; stayed tuned!

I do have this funny story though that I wanted to share. When I was in the 7th grade I had a math teacher, Mrs. Hatfield. She would always tell us that "Patience is a virtue." This has stayed with me throughout my life and now I often find myself saying this to Taylor as she is not usually very patient. (I am sure she is like most two year olds who want things RIGHT now! They don't like to wait)
On Friday night I was busy fixing dinner for Taylor and Caroline while the girls sat at the table waiting (Caroline was of course in her high chair). I had just finished Taylor's and started to work on Caroline's food. Caroline was crying and being very impatient! Taylor leaned over and said, "Caroline patience is a virtue!"
Wow...I just smiled. Funny girl, very smart girl!

Happy Spring

Taylor and Caroline absolutely love being outside. We are all ready for the nice warm spring weather. Mother nature teased us last weekend with beautiful warm weather (this week it is cold and rainy again). We took full advantage of it and enjoyed the afternoon outside with our girls.

Here is Caroline's serious look

Again always smiling and laughing.

Taylor was not happy that Caroline took one of her "Little People" from the airplane although Caroline loved her!

I just liked this picture of her...sometimes when Elmo pops up, Caroline gets a little scared

Once Taylor got up from her nap, we played on the swing set the rest of the afternoon.

Sweet sisterly love...what a good big sister Taylor is to little Caroline

These are just some pictures of Caroline on Saturday night. Taylor was visiting with Grammy and PawPaw and Rob was at the Duke basketball game so Mommy and Caroline got to hang out that evening.

Caroline loves to watch TV...where does she get that from Rob?

Someone LOVES to play with her bottle

We went to the Children’s Museum a couple of weekends ago with some friends and their little ones. My good friend Emily was there with her adorable little boy Crawford. Emily is starting to develop her photography skills and is always capturing the best pictures and sweet moments. If you check our her blog, you will see what an awesome job she does as there are tons of great pictures of Crawford. I must say I am a little jealous of her talent as she does a really good job! She took this adorable picture of Taylor and I just LOVE it!

Say a prayer for this precious child!

Please pray for Stellan.


This little boy is fighting for his life as he is suffering from SVT (Supra Ventricular Tachycardia=very high heart rate). Stellan and his family have been in my thoughts and prayers all day! I read his mother's blog on a daily basis and this just breaks my heart to hear that Stellan became so sick over the weekend. Please take the time to say an extra prayer for him!
