Favorite Foto Friday #83 - UNIQUE!

A UNIQUE love...

I return to this picture often... it shows how these two really feel about each other and the whole world can see it too whenever they are together. When Grant is having a rough time, as he is now, Sophie~Bug is the only one who can look at him and wrap her tiny arms around his neck and can make it all better.

Here is Mr. Linky!!



I won't be able to visit many of your blogs this week as we are Spring Break bound... Florida, here we come! I will "try" to remember to post from the beach next week... so the theme selfishly for next week is BEACH!!

URGENT PRAYERS NEEDED!!

Please pray for this precious baby boy who needs many prayers right at this very moment!

Just click on his picture to go to McMama's blog.

Loving Spring!!

We headed outside after "school" and just simply enjoyed the gorgeous weather - in the high 70's today. Isn't my girl beautiful?

Kicking back on the porch swing!

Trying not to make camera to eye contact with the crazy camera lady...
(Bribery of M&M's doesn't even work anymore)

Taking it all in... the last remnants of fall. But the grass is getting green!

Lately, all Sophie has wanted to wear are dresses... she will not wear anything else outside of the house without massive bursts of tears and I feel like a monster mommy making her dress in cute clothes that do not have any twirl factor! I remember this stage with Morgan too. Little girls just look so cute in dresses! And big bows, of course!

Another fetish is bandaids... she is always wearing at least one somewhere on her body and every day she discovers a new "boo boo" that must have a bandaid. I think I should buy stock in those magical little sticky make-it-all-better bandages. It is actually quite humorous!

We are gearing up for a week at the beach! Spring Break is in T minus 3 days!! Luckily, my brother is hanging out at home with the poochies while we are gone. Sophie is really going to miss Uncle Tyler when he moves to CA after we get back! I will too!


Happy Spring!!!

Favorite Foto Friday #82 - GREEN!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day this week... my darling daughters donned our GREEN afro wig for your entertainment!!

Complete with Cheeto lips!

And one that turned out hilarious as she as trying to focus on one of the curls hanging onto her forehead! She is looking like she was feeling a little green!!

This would be a good one to play "Word It For Me"!

Here is Mr. Linky! Thanks for continuing to link your post not just your blog!!



Next week's theme is UNIQUE!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Not so much Lucky... but we are Blessed!

Favorite Foto Friday #81 - THEN

THEN... July 2005

My, how we both have changed!!

Here is Mr. Linky...



The theme for next week is "GREEN" .

Wacky Wednesday

Today truly was Wacky Wednesday at Sophie's school in celebration of Dr. Seuss week... I snapped these early this morning on our way out the door, so excuse the fake smile!! She completely picked out her wacky outfit herself and I put in four pigtails complete with different color bows!



And because we had so much fun last night, here are some pictures of Bug and her Uncle Tyler (my brother) at Waterfront Park where we played before dinner! He is staying with us for a couple months before he moves west. We have LOVED having him with us and as you cad tell, Sophie ADORES him! It makes my heart so happy to see them together!

My little monkey!

High fiving after a successful slide!

Happy Wednesday!

Sophie and Alex Playdate!

We had a great time out last week to dinner with Kim and Alex at the Chik* restaurant with the giant dancing cow! Neither one was a fan of her coming too close to them, but they were happy to wave!

Thought I would share a few pictures of the cutie patootie twosome!



They were so cute playing together in the tubes!! Alex was so sweet calling for Sophie to come with him!! He even let her slide down first! What a gentleman!


The kids topped off the playdate with a little ice cream... are they (the kids) not delicious looking?


Mmm mmm good!


Thanks Kim! I hope we can do this more often! Sophie is still talking about Alex!

Favorite Foto Friday #80 - FEBRUARY FAVORITE

I have several favorites from February... but to stick with the theme and accept the challenge... here is ONE in B/W of my little Bug.

Here is Mr. Linky! Thanks to all of you who are linking their post and not just your blog! I try to go in and repair the links when I have time. I also apologize for not commenting as much lately... life is busy but good!



Next week's theme is THEN...

Bye Bye Mr. Appendix

Add one more medical mishap down for Mr. Grant... he had to part with his appendix Tuesday afternoon after a bout with appendicitis. Luckily, they were able to do it laparoscopically and he is healing up just fine with a little help from T*lenol 3! I did not take my camera with me to chronicle this moment in time for him (he can thank me later).

Calgon... take me away!! Will I ever have the time to blog again?? ha ha
