Welcome to the Ballet Show

My Gun wielding Girl

I knew Andrew was a little bit redneck.  I knew that I have always been attracted to guys who are a little bit redneck.  Andrew would go and shoot his dinner if he could.  and I would gladly eat it, because venison is good stuff.  Hey ... don't hate ... when you grow up in sweet home Alabama, you just have to be a little bit redneck.  Leah's going to be a little bit redneck too ... she doesn't even a choice.

We went to a 'water' birthday party this weekend. 

The gave her a water gun, and she was set.  

She didn't want to play on the slide.  She didn't want to play on the swings.

All she wanted to do was figure out how to use her water gun.

"Little girls are the nicest things that happen to people...

They are born with a little bit of angelshine about them,

and though it wears thin sometimes 

there is always enough left to lasso your heart. . ."

Movie Mondays

Here are some fun videos I have taken over the past few weeks ...

This is my favorite video! Audrey was making a cute shrill noise, so I wanted to video her ... Leah had another idea


I interviewed Leah ... mainly about her cartoon friends (fav three shows = Little Einstiens, Dora, and Team UmiZoomie) ...


This is what Yo Gabba Gabba does to your children:

The Mountain

How many pictures are too many pictures?  I guess for a Mamarazzi like me ... the answers is unknown.  There is no such thing as too many pictures!!!!!  I say this first because this is going to be a super photo-heavy entry.

Saturday was an absolutely beautiful day, like perfectly beautiful!  Leah wanted to go to the playground, but I didn't really feel like getting out the stroller and lugging everything over to the playground, especially since the trip home is uphill the whole way.  So instead we grabbed a blanket and went to the hill in between two apartment buildings right next to our house.  It was perfect!  and now Leah talks about going back to the mountain!

Running down 'the mountain' to find the perfect shady spot

I think she may have tripped...

or found some flowers?

We found that perfect shady spot!

So Leah wanted to spread out her blanket just like Mommy's

see that bucket?  she brought her blanket out stuffed in that bucket!

Audrey with the perfect sky

It's bright out here mommy ... where are my sunglasses?

This is my new absolute favorite picture ever.  When did she grow up?

My teething baby ... no hand is safe around her

I asked Leah what she was doing ... she said "Painting Mommy!"

We moved shady spots so I could be closer to Leah when she was 'painting' ... yeah, yeah I'm still a bit of a helicopter mom...

We were sitting around and I said something to Leah like "Let's just chill here".  Leah replied back "yeah, mommy, I'm chilly ... brrrrr...."

So she wrapped her blanket around her so she wouldn't be cold anymore!

Cute pouty 'cold' Princess

Time to go back inside!  Notice the blanket stuffed back into the bucket 

See that little pouty face ... yeah, she was asleep thirty minutes later!

See...I warned you ... lots of pictures!  I guess since I took over 100 for like the hour we were outside only sharing 20 of them is pretty good ... right?  ok ... I admit it ... I'm addicted to pictures!!!!!!
