Summer Cold
Jamey has always made fun of me because I'm the odd ball that always gets colds in the middle of hot summer! My poor baby inherited that weird gene from me! She's so snotty, stuffy and got the goopy eyes. I hate it for her. It's such a hot, sunny day that's perfect for playing in the pool, but she's stuck inside resting!

Pool Time
It was so warm and sunny today that we decided to get MG's new pool out! It's been hiding away in the closet in it's box just waiting for the perfect day! The water was so stinkin' cold, but she dove right in. She loved the slide and loved splashing. She played until she wore herself out. I figured I'd have to drag her out kicing and screaming, but she got herself out and went to sit in her chair on the patio. Tomorrow we're going to attempt the water play area at our park! Can't wait!

Five and Three
2 funny stories...
Yesterday we were taking the air mattress down that was in our living room (we'd had company, it wasn't just up for the heck of it!). We let a little air out of it and let MG go to town jumping on it. Then one of us got the bright idea to count to 3 and fall on it which sent her up in the air! It was too funny and she loved it! But, the rest of the day she kept saying "shree" everytime she wanted us to do something! I guess she thought that was the magic word!
I've been teaching MG how to give "five" and she's finally getting the hang of it. Tonight she was giving me lots of kisses, but being a stinker and wouldn't give her daddy any. I was counting the kisses she gave me. We got to kiss number four and she went on playing. I said "can I have five?" - meaning kiss #5 and she immediately ran up with her hand in the air to give me "five"! It cracked me up. She's so funny!

7 years
On this date, 7 years ago, Jamey and I were married. In some ways in seems like a lifetime ago. We've been through so much in those 7 years. In other ways, it seems like only yesterday! All I know, is that I'm thankful each and every morning that I get to wake up next to him and fall asleep with him beside me. God blessed me with an amazing partner in life and such a wonderful daddy to my daughter.
I'm sure most people would think we're crazy, but we didn't go out for a fancy dinner or go away for the weekend. Instead, we chose to stay home, be lazy and just enjoy our family! We had a fun dinner out last night with Molly Grace - that will have to count! This morning Jamey got up and got donuts for breakfast. He's happy for any excuse for those! Ha! He also surprised me with the most beautiful set of bracelets. They are gold with handblown Murano glass beads and swarovski crystals. I was so surprised! They are beautiful. I told him for his gift I would do his laundry today! Ha! We've been super lazy all day long. It's 2pm and we're all still in our jammies. I've already had a nap and MG is taking one now. Our life may not be super exciting, but it sure is happy!
Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband! Thank you for all you do for your family.

Miss Attitude
Little Miss has developed quite the attitude lately! I don't know where she learned to squeal, but it's not my favorite sound! Anytime she gets mad and wants us to know it she lets out the shrillest squeal - usually while she's shaking her head back and forth! She doesn't hide her emotions at all!
Today I got the foot stomping fit. Instead of throwing herself down on the ground she started stomping her feet at me.
Is it possible for the Terrible Twos to start at 16 months?

Springfest, Breakfast, Yogurt and a Meltdown!
It's only Saturday and we've already had a very fun and very full weekend! Last night was my school's Springfest. A friend and I were hosting the "Duck Pond" game. This was my absolute favorite game at my elementary school's Fun Fair every year and the kids seemed to really love it last night. It was something fun the little ones could do, too! Molly Grace and her daddy came to help me out then we got to walk around and enjoy. We had a nice hotdog dinner on the sidewalk and a yummy snocone afterwards! MG really loved playing in the "duck pond"! She splashed all over me and her and even had to bring a duck home with her! There were only a few fits - when she couldn't get on the big bouncy slide and when the snocone was gone! Most of the time she was perfect, though! I loved having her and Jamey out there with me!
This morning we got up and went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel. As always, it was great and we all ate way too much! MG had the explosion of a lifetime while we were there and that wasn't too fun, but it is what it is! Ha! From there we ran all over town - some flea markets, Home Depot, the sporting good's store... we were in and out of the car at least 10 times! And she still did great.
Tonight MG and I took Jamey to the new yogurt place in town. We tried it last week and loved it so we wanted him to try it. It's all non-fat, low-fat or no sugar added yogurt and it's all amazing! Tonight MG and I shared birthday cake with gummy bears and sprinkles. She's my excuse to get to eat that! Ha!
We really needed milk so we thought we'd go ahead and run to Kroger and get all our groceries. We really should've just stopped at the station and gotten milk and come home! MG was awful!!! I broke open the NutraGrain bars and that kept her happy for a minute or 2. She got to ride in the car cart for the first time, but that only made her happy for another minute or 2! She wanted to get in and out the whole time, she didn't just want to ride. And I forgot to mention the part about having to bring her pillow into the store with us because she wouldn't leave it behind! I've never had to walk out of a place with a screaming baby before tonight! She was not happy at all. We walked around outside and waited on her daddy and she was fine. We even hung out in the entrance and let her play in one of the car carts. When another little girl walked in and got in the car, though, she lost it! She did not understand. Then Jamey came out with the groceries in a different cart (one minus the car part) and she lost it again! Poor baby has not had a good night! She came home, ate some goldfish, drank some milk and passed out!
I wonder what tomorrow will hold...

Mother's Day 2011
I had a great Mother's Day weekend! We started the weekend off with a trip to see Jamey's family. We went in to his brother's house Friday night and Molly Grace got to play outside with her cousins before bed. She was in Heaven playing outside - I think she'd live out there if we'd let her! We had a nice breakfast with all of Jamey's family to celebrate Mother's Day then we headed home. Molly Grace and I were both exhausted so we took a nice, long, cuddly nap together (because some little someone refused to sleep more than 20 minutes the entire way home!)!
Sunday, Jamey and Molly Grace got up early and went to get donuts for breakfast. It was a wonderful treat to get to sleep in, not have to worry about breakfast AND get my favorite breakfast treat! Happy Mother's Day to me! Ha! They each had me very sweet cards that made my day. I'm a card person and I love seeing what card people pick out for me. I also got a kit to make a stepping stone for our yard with MG's handprint. We got my mom one for Mother's Day and I really wanted one for myself, but never got around to getting it - so that was a nice surprise.
We went over to my parents' house for lunch with all of my family. My aunt and grandma were both in which was another nice treat! We had a great time eating and visiting - I really love getting together with family, I'm so blessed! I even got to take another nap when we got home. 2 naps in 2 days - what a treat! Last night, we decided to go out to dinner so I didn't have to worry with cooking or cleaning. MG was so good and we really enjoyed being out together.
It was a really great weekend. The very best gift I could possibly have, though, is the love of my little girl! I get to be her momma for the rest of her life and nothing can top that. There's no greater gift than the love of a child. The day she was born, my world was complete. I love that sweet, sassy little princess more than she will probably ever know. I'm honored to be her mom!
Pictures to come...I'm horrible at that part!

Roll 'Em Up
All through Target today, Molly Grace kept rolling her hands and saying "row-whoa-whoa-whoa". She really loves some Patty Cake!
More
Molly Grace has started signing "more" everytime we eat or she wants a snack! If we don't do what she wants quick enough, she'll sign for "more" then too! She signs with her 2 pointer fingers! It's so funny! The best part is that while she's signing, she says "mo...mo...mo"! I guess she wants to make sure she gets her point across!
