Monkey See Monkey Do

I walked into my bedroom this afternoon to find this...(and I promise you it wasn't staged)!



Anna Clare was reading so sweetly to herself and when I saw Owen with her big novel, I almost lost it! Instead, I slipped out quietly to grab my camera.

She caught me after she heard the camera click...



I love seeing her trying to imitate her big sister...you should see her version of a cartwheel! Happy Memorial Weekend!

Happy Happy Birthday!

This is where we were 2 years ago today...







Anna Clare meeting her baby sister, Virginia Owen, for the very first time...











Wow! I truly cannot believe she is 2 already! Happy 2nd Birthday to our sweet baby girl!

This makes my dreams sweet

I play t-ball too!

Fishin' and Frog Catchin'...little girl style

Steve took Anna Clare fishing last week. Surprisingly, she had a blast. AND she caught one...with her Barbie fishing pole at that.

Preparing to leave...don't miss the purse!



Baiting the hook...



Success! (pretty cool that she caught one and Daddy didn't)




A few days before that, she caught a frog...IN THIS DRESS! Who does that???









She does, that's who! That's my girl. My little Princess of Drama. And I love this girl!:)

T-ball

We are about halfway through out 2nd year of t-ball. The games are so much fun to watch. You never know which way a child may run or what they're going to be doing in the outfield. They are so cute! I am so glad AC decided to play again this year. I am betting this will be the last year of her baseball career:) She doesn't LOVE t-ball. If it weren't for the "tagging," I think she would. She despises being tagged. I think she got tagged pretty hard last year at a game and has not forgotten it. She even asked me at the beginning of this season if "they were going to be tagging again this year?"


We did discover this year that she can bat right or left, which is pretty neat. She prefers left.


Proudly wearing her Daddy's high school number again this year


I can hear her thinking to herself, "If I run fast enough, I won't get tagged!"


Her Daddy is 3rd base coach, which is her most favorite thing about t-ball. Make that her second favorite. She thinks the best part is the free coke after the game!

Easter Sunday

My two little bedheads

G.G. brought Owen this cute little shirt when she was here last weekend...


And it is so true...he "does" hair much better than I do!


I told her to "let me see your shirt," and this is what she did!

The girls with my sister, Erin, and my brother, Scott. We missed my other brother, Dave and my soon-to-be SIL, Jaime. Their work schedules didn't allow them to come home, but we hope to see them soon. What a glorious day!
