Sunday

A funny conversations:
While driving in the car on April 25th
Cyndi: Eden, what are you doing?
Eden: I bite my nails.
Cyndi: Why are you biting your nails?
Eden: Because it's so yummy.

Double Decker Arts Festival

Today was the 13th annual Double Decker festival. It is THE event of the year. Crowds of people, food and art vendors, children's entertainment, music and of course a ride on the double decker bus. Paul almost got the boiled crawfish...but I think the look on my face told him he would be alone at that meal.

David couldn't get close enough to the animals while Eden folded her arms and watched from a distance.

Enjoying Spring

Paul's garden. He fenced it in and made a little door. He even cut down the top of a tree so the plants could have more sun. We are excited to watch it grow!

Eden dunking her head...then David trying to copy.
These Azalea bushes are in front of our neighbor's house. They are gorgeous!

I was trying to keep David awake a little longer but when I came downstairs sleep had won.

Looking back

For more pictures visit Gigi & Papa's blog. My mom made Eden a twirly princess dress which she adores and brought David some cars. It was a fun week. I have the best mom. Even though we miss our family, we really do love it here in Mississippi.

Oh the memories....

20 years ago

Tyler was born and I was ready to be his second mommy. We slept over at our neighbors house (the one Amber used to call a pest...hee hee). I remember standing in their hallway when I heard the baby was a boy!

10 years ago

I was bugging mom to get my drivers license. I had the WORSE HAIRCUT EVER and a round face. It was a time of braces, shag hair and baggy sweatshirts...I defiantly had those "awkward years". Unlike my sister who had so many boyfriends.

5 years ago

On a mission in Durban, South Africa! BEST BEST BEST decision I made up until that point in my life.
3 years ago
Got married, graduated from college and announced I was pregnant.

1 year ago

David joined the family and we decided to attend Ole Miss Law School.

So far this year

Eden is speaking in full sentences. David is STILL a mommas boy :) Paul put up a fence and planted a garden. I am now my natural hair color...scary!

Yesterday
I took my mom to the airport and cried on the way home. By the time I was home all the tears were gone and I was ok. I'm so glad she came to visit. Love you mom.
Today
I cleaned, mopped floors and started laundry. Back to business.
Tomorrow
Probably a Wal-Mart run to pick up some bananas and skim milk (I just can't drink our box milk anymore). Maybe story time and playing with Abby and Sarah who have been gone for a week.

This year

HOPEFULLY survive the summer humidity.

That was fun! Thanks Amber for tagging me. You don't have to...but if you want: I tag Lisa B. and all my blogging sister in-laws.

Utah meets Mississippi

Our Gigi is coming today! I am so excited to have my mom all to myself...maybe I'll share her with the kids :). Thanks Papa and Bradley for letting her come.

Bathroom singing

It all started when Paul showed Eden the music video, "That's How You Know" from Enchanted on his laptop. We borrowed the movie from our neighbors (thanks again Yamniks) and ever since then she has been singing.

Princess Eden

What do you do when your 2 year old LOVES anything princess and being naked? Eden just loves to run around in the nude, she thinks it's the greatest thing in the world. I combined the two forces and turned half her wardrobe into princess clothes. So far...2 days staying dressed all day. Hurray!


(Camera is MIA...don't ask. These video camera photos will have to do)

Step away from the buzzers

I should not be allowed to touch scissors let alone buzzers. Today I decided to give David a quick trim...well, I thought it would be so easy with a buzzer. WAY to short and now he looks bald. I never realized how blonde his hair is, you can't even see it on the sides. Paul saids he's ready for boot camp. Oh my, when will I learn?






(sorry the picture is grainy, taken with video camera)

Caught

Lotions, chap stick, toothpaste, shampoo...and yes Diaper Cream are all things I ALWAYS find them sucking on. Kids!

Food & Crafts...when there's nothing else to blog about

Sweet, salty, crunchy, chewy, nutty...I just LOVE trailmix. It is the best combination of foods. You must admit, eating a fresh peanut with plain chocolate tastes SO much better than a boring peanut m&m. So this is a salute to my favorite snack.



Some crafts I have seen on others blogs I possibly might attempt. Aren't they so fun!

Magnetic dinner board. Use chalk to change menus and recipe cards behind so everything is ready!
