2 YEAR CHECK UP

 TODAY I TOOK JAYCIE TO GET HER TWO YEAR CHECK UP AT THE DOCTOR. SHE NOW WEIGHS 27 POUNDS AND IS 34 INCHES TALL! SHES IN THE 50 PERCENTILE FOR BOTH! SHES A HEALTHY, GROWING BABY GIRL! THE DOCTOR WAS VERY PLEASED!!! SHE HAD TO GET ONE SHOT TODAY AND SHE DIDN'T EVEN CRY! SHE WAS SO GOOD!  

CARTER AND BOOBOO ALSO WENT WITH US TO MEMPHIS TODAY. WE TOOK CARTER TO GET MEASURED FOR HIS TUX FOR THE WEDDING. HE DID SO GOOD BEING SO STILL FOR THE LADY! MY LIL MAN IS GOING TO BE SO HANDSOME! IF YOU ASK HIM WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO IN BOO BOO'S WEDDING HE WILL SAY " HOLD A PILLOW AND STAND BY DA" ITS GOING TO BE SO CUTE WATCHING THEM IN THE WEDDING! I JUST HOPE MISS SASSY DOES HER PART AND ISN'T A DRAMA QUEEN AND IS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION! YOU NEVER KNOW WITH HER. SHE DOES HER OWN THING AT HER OWN TIME. I WILL JUST PRAY HARD THAT DAY THAT SHE GETS A GOOD NAP AND IS IN A GOOD MOOD! FINGERS CROSSED!!!!

AFTER ALL THAT, WE WENT TO THE MALL TO EAT AND WE WERE HOPING TO SEE THE EASTER BUNNY BUT HE WAS STILL NOT THERE. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS BUT HE BETTER HURRY UP BECAUSE CARTER IS VERY ANXIOUS TO TELL HIM HE WANTS ALL THE EASTER STUFF AT WAL-MART HE KEEPS SEEING! LOL. I THINK JAYCIE MIGHT JUST MIGHT SIT IN HIS LAP TOO. WE WILL SEE. SO SINCE THE EASTER BUNNY WASN'T THERE AND THE KIDS HAD BEEN SO GOOD ALL MORNING, WE TOOK THEM TO THE DISNEY STORE AND THEY GOT SIMBA AND NALA STUFF ANIMALS AND THE TANGLED MOVIE. I REALLY GOT THE MOVIE FOR ME BECAUSE IVE BEEN WANTING TO SEE IT SO BAD! HA! AND OF COURSE ON THE WAY OUT WE HAD TO RIDE THE CAROUSAL. OVER ALL A GREAT DAY WITH THE BABIES AND BOO BOO. TOMORROW WE ARE HEADING BACK TO MEMPHIS FOR A LIL MORE SHOPPIING, TO TRY TO SEE THE EASTER BUNNY AGAIN AND TO TAKE GRANDMA TO OLIVE GARDEN FOR HER BIRTHDAY LUNCH! CANT WAIT!!!

HERE ARE JUST A FEW PICTURES I GOT TODAY OF JAYCIE AT THE DOCTOR AND OF THE KIDS PLAYING OUTSIDE THE OTHER DAY! I'M READY FOR THE SPRING WEATHER TO COME BACK.

JAYCIE RUTH, YOU MAKE ME SO PROUD TO BE YOUR MOMMY! YOU ARE SO SASSY BUT I KNEW YOU WOULD BE FROM THE MOMENT YOU WERE BORN. YOU WERE BORN AT 9:18 IN THE MORNING WEIGHING 5 LBS 10 OZ AND 18 1/4 INCHES LONG. YOU COMPLETED OUR WHOLE WORLD! YOU LOVE TO DRAW AND YOU TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND REALLY CONCENTRATE. YOU LOVE DORA, HORSES, AND BABIES! YOU HATE TO HEAR BABIES CRYING AND ALWAYS ASK ME "MOMMY WHY IS THAT BABY CRYING". YOU LOVE TO SING JESUS LOVES ME AND YOU CALL IT YOUR SONG. YOU WOULD LIVE OFF OF MILK IF I WOULD LET YOU! YOU DRINK ABOUT A GALLON EVERY 2 OR 3 DAYS BY YOURSELF. YOU LOVE YOUR OWN BED AND SLEEPING WITH ELLIE YOUR DOG. YOU LOVE YOUR CARTER AND YALL PLAY AND PLAY TOGETHER ALL DAY EVERYDAY! WE LEARNED TODAY THAT YOU DO NOT LIKE COTTON CANDY. BUT YOU HAVE NEVER LIKED SWEETS MUCH. (DONT KNOW HOW YOU CAN BE MY CHILD) YOU ARE SO SMART AND LOVING! YOU HAVE A STRONG WILL AND I THINK THAT WILL GET YOU THROUGH ANYTHING IN LIFE! GOD TRULY BLESSED US AND I THANK HIM EACH AND EVERY NIGHT FOR MY SWEET BABIES! WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD POSSIBLY KNOW! XOXO

BEST I GOT

 TODAY WAS ONE BUSY SUNDAY! WE HAD CHURCH AND MY SISTERS BRIDAL SHOWER! I HIT THE FLOOR RUNNING AT 7 THIS MORNING AND JUST NOW AT 8:30 SAT DOWN FOR A BREAK BEFORE PUTTING THE KIDS TO BED AND FINISHING LAUNDRY! ITS BEEN ONE LONG DAY BUT A VERY ENJOYABLE DAY FOR SURE! TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING AND BOY DID IT FEEL LIKE SPRING! IT WAS GORGEOUS!!! WHEN I GOT HOME FROM THE SHOWER WE TOOK THE KIDS OUTSIDE TO PLAY WITH OUR NEIGHBORS! THEY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME RUNNING AROUND, RIDING 4-WHEELERS, FEEDING THEIR "ALLIGATOR", AND JUST BEING KIDS! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A SUMMER FILLED WITH THAT! HERE ARE THE BEST PICTURES I GOT OF THE KIDS TODAY BEFORE CHURCH AND THE BEST I GOT OF GENE AND I! WISH I HAD SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH TO CATCH A FEW BETTER ONES! ENJOY!

FEEL THE LOVE

CANT YOU JUST FEEL THE LOVE THEY HAVE FOR THEIR AUNT E? THEY LOVE BOO BOO SO MUCH AND SHE LOVES THEM AS HER OWN AND THAT MAKES THIS MOMMY VERY VERY HAPPY ( AS CARTER WOULD SAY) ! I KNOW WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT IF ANYTHING EVER HAPPENED TO ME, MY SISTER WOULD PICK UP RIGHT WERE I LEFT WITH THESE TWO!  GIVES ME COMFORT! 

THIS IS WHAT THEY DID WHILE I WAS GETTING READY TO GO GET MY SPRAY TAN! YEP, THATS RIGHT, I WENT AND GOT A SPRAY TAN TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME! I WAS REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT IT BUT IT ACTUALLY WENT GOOD! I USE TO TAN ALL THE TIME AND WAS REALLY DARK BUT NOW THAT I HAVE KIDS, GETTING INTO A TANNING BED IS NOT WORTH MY LIFE! I NEED TO BE HERE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE FOR THOSE PRECIOUS BABIES. I GOT IT DONE AT T'S TRESSES WHERE I GET MY HAIR DONE AND THE GIRL DID A GREAT JOB. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE TO GET IN A TANNING BED. MY SISTERS BRIDAL SHOWER IS SUNDAY AND I'M WEARING A SHORT DRESS AND MY LEGS WERE AS WHITE AS COULD BE SO I JUST NEEDED A LIL COLOR TO ME!

AFTER MY TANNING, WE ALL WENT AND ATE AT PIZZA HUT WITH THE FAMILY. NOT GOOD FOR MY DIET BUT SO GOOD FOR MY BELLY! I LOVE PIZZA HUT PIZZA AND SALAD! AFTER THAT ALL THE GUYS WENT TO CHURCH TO PLAY BASKETBALL FOR AN HOUR! I THINK THEY HAD A GOOD TIME AND PLAN ON DOING IT WEEKLY! 

SOCCER PRACTICE TOMORROW AND CHURCH AND BRIDAL SHOWER SUNDAY! GLAD I GOT THE HOUSE GOOD AND CLEANED TODAY AND READY FOR A BUSY WEEKEND!

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEKEND! ITS GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL ONE! I LOVE SPRING!  GOD IS GOOD!
