Funny Story

Tonight after work, I went to WalMart to get several things! Ater I got home and we were unloading the groceries, I realized I forgot a couple of important things! I was sitting on the couch talking to Sam, and I said, “Oh My Word! Where is my head?” Landry walked over to me and as sincere as could be said–”Right here Mama” and patted me on the head! It was precious! Nothing like sweet children to keep things in perspective!

Memorial Day/Update

We left bright and early on Sunday to visit Sam’s grandmother in Arkansas. After visiting with the family for a while, one of Sam’s uncles took us to his business! He owns a John Deere store. So as you can imagine, Landry had the greatest time! He got on all of the huge tractors, combines, lawnmowers, etc! His new saying is, “one more minute” He said that about one hundred times when it was time to go! Isabella enjoyed it too! She loved driving the little gator. I have tons of new pictures, so I will really get them on here one day–seriously!

After that, we went to Memphis. We went and saw the ducks at the peabody. That was great! Then we had a great time hanging out, riding the trolley, walking down by the water, and eating! On Monday, we went to the Memphis Zoo! It was wonderful! The babies loved it! Isabella wanted to ride the giraffes! Landry said his favorite part was the hippos! Isabella decided her favorite part was the Sea Lion Show! It is so fun to see things through their eyes!

Isabella is so girly. And of course, I love it! I took her to get her nails done for the 1st time a couple of weeks ago. Ever since then, she always wants me to touch them up! She still loves the movie Strawberry Shortcake, anything to do with ”Princesses”, and she loves reading! She got a tea set the other day and she plays with it all of the time!  Her favorite food is still black eyed peas. But she also really likes hamburgers and french fries! She loves all fruit except watermelon! She will not even try it! It is all I ate while I was pregnant with them, but Landry loves it! So who knows?!?! Both of them love play dough, coloring, blocks, and everything to do with being outside! Landry loves his riding toys, t ball, and his new ball glove! He loves watching “Fox and the Hound” and “Lady and the Tramp”! We are going to see “Dora” in a couple of weeks and they are so excited! They watch her in the mornings during breakfast! Landry also says, “I do that all of the time” It is so funny. The other day they kept jumping off of the couch onto a pile of clothes. I told them to stop, and Landry said, “I do that all of the time” It is hard not to laugh! They both always say, “That is my favorite part” It is so cute to hear them say it during movies, books, etc!

It is so much fun watching these 2 interact! They are seriously best of friends! They hold hands, talk, and share (for the most part) They are growing up too fast! Landry is much more interested in potty training than Isabella is. Well, that is my update for now. We have lots of fun play dates and little trips planned for the summer, so hopefully I will have more updates soon! Oh and is anyone else obsessed with the Jon and Kate drama? I can’t get enough of it!

Update!

Thanks so much everyone for the comments, prayers, calls, cards, gifts, etc for Isabella! She is doing great! She has been a trooper! The doctor told us on Thursday that when children are small and the injury is inside of the body–that it will heal itself! Amazing!  It is truly amazing how God made or bodies! She will not have to wear a harness or anything! She just will continue to wear a sling for a couple of more weeks! She goes back in 2 weeks for another checkup! She is on the road to recovery! Thanks again for your prayers and concern!

Isabella and Landry are doing great! Almost 2 1/2 years old! Can not believe it! They are hilarious and say the funniest things! They were walking around the house the other day telling each other that they were fired! Isabella would say, “You’re fired!” And Landry would say, “No! You’re fired!” And it went back and forth until I assured them that neither one were fired!

They love being outside as much as possible! But Isabella is still as girly as she can be! She must have a bow at all times! She loves jewelry, the colors pink and purple, dress up heels, Strawberry Shortcake, Princess stuff, and babies! And Landry is all boy! He loves to play ball, trucks, blocks, dig in the dirt, etc! It is funny how they are best of friends and complete opposites! I would not have it any other way! We are amazed by these precious children every day!

And while I am here–Happy Birthday today to a precious friend–Amy Sumrall! She is such an awesome friend–I am so lucky to have her! Go check out her sweet little Bes! (www.bradamyandbessumrall.blogspot.com)

Hopefully pictures will be posted soon!

Prayers for Isabella!

Please keep sweet Isabella in your prayers! She fell off of  a stool today at Mother Goose’s Story Time! She broke her collarbone! She is in a lot of pain! She is wearing a sling now and will have a followup next week to see how it is healing! Hope you are all doing great! Thanks!

Spring is Here!

We are loving this gorgeous weather! We play outside every chance we get! The riding toys, swingset, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, strollers, neighbor’s dog—they are all getting played with often! Isabella and Landry were both not feeling well last week–we are all better now thank God! Isabella had bacterial pneumonia and Landry had a viral infection. I guess I caught something as well and had the flu! We are all on the mend now!

We have also been very busy at work–Spring is like Christmas in ladies’ retail: prom, pageants, and Easter is keeping us on the go!

Sam and I went to see the broadway “Wicked” in Birmingham last Saturday night! It was awesome! He got those tickets for me for Christmas this past year! I got to leave work early, we headed out, had a quick and delicious dinner, saw the show, and made it home at 1:00 am! We aren’t ready to spend the night away from the babies! They were just fine th0ugh–sound asleep in their beds with Sam’s parents watching them! The show started at 8:00 pm. It was a 2 and 1/2 hour show with intermission–needless to say it was way past our bedtime when we got home!

Landry and Isabella are doing awesome! They say the funniest things! They play so well together! Isabella loves playing babies, reading books, drawing and coloring, and singing. She is so girly. She loves pink and purple, bracelets, and her clothes and shoes! She also still loves Strawberry Shortcake and Cinderella! Landry loves playing “t-ball”, throwing anything he can get his hands on, playing with the aquadoodle, his airplanes and train, looking at books, and going to the bridge by our neighbor’s house! Favorite foods these days for Isabella are: black eyed peas from Cafe on Main, grapes, blueberries, oat and honey bars,  and sausage! Landry’s favorites include: casseroles from the Cafe, bananas, grapes, mashed potatoes, and blueberries! Since they are over 2 now, we are being a little more experimental with their food! We are letting them try new things every now and then: sweets, fried food, etc!  We have learned Landry will try anything and likes just about all of it! And Isabella only likes what she is used to–however she does love french fries!

I am still trying to get my hands on pictures from my fabulous surprise party! It was so fun! Thanks again to everyone that made my birthday so special! I am so behind on thank-you notes! I am very grateful, and will eventually get my notes out!

Happy Easter to everyone!   

John 11:25 I am the resurrection and the life. He who believe in me will live….

The BIG 3 0!!!!

Today is my birthday! And I was totally surprised last night with the biggest surprise party! Thank you to my precious husband Sam for such a perfect night! It was all perfect–from the food to the decorations to the cake to the guests—I am so blessed with wonderful family and friends that helped pull this off! Thank you all for making my birthday so SPECIAL! I appreciate the gifts, calls, texts, cards, emails, etc! You all really know how to make someone’s day! Thanks again! Hopefully we will post pictures soon!

A day in the life…

… of Landry and Isabella and my nephew, Cooper. My friend Amy brought her little girl Bes over to play with the kids at the Fashion Barn. As always, she brought her camera! Here are some fun pictures she took!

Growing Too Fast!

Why do they have to grow up so fast? I know I always say it–but it is crazy how fast they grow! I have been going through their old clothes and closets–when I see some of those tiny clothes–I can not even imagine them being that little! You think you will remember it–but then as time goes– you don’t!

Things are great here! Isabella and Landry are as busy as ever! They talk more and more every day! And they already say the funniest things! Since we are starting to have some warmer days, they are getting to enjoy their new swingset more and more! They LOVE playing outside! They still stay with me during the day at work! It is going great! They will eventually start Mother’s Day Out, but I am still not quiet ready for them to go! They enjoy going to Mother Goose’s Story Hour, Jump N G’s, church, and anywhere else where there are other kids! It is fun to watch them interact with other kids!

We did have a couple of inches of snow on March 1! Their first snow! Isabella liked it alot and Landry loved it! He loved to eat it!

Hopefully, more pictures will be posted soon! We have lots of cute new ones! Happy (almost) Spring!
