WDW Remembered

Instead of doing an autograph book while we were in Disney we did signatures on pillow cases instead with fabric pens. Then I got then appliquéd and monogrammed and they turned out like this! 

I was happy with how they turned out but more important Miss Ellie and Miss Annie were thrilled with how they turned out and they always bring up the conversation of... " when are we going back again?!?"

Memories

My sweet Grandaddy isn't doing very well. 

Just to write those words hurts my heart and fills my eyes with tears. He has always been and is so special to me. I have so so many memories with him and my granny. They are and have always been such a big part of my life. They are very special people and knowing they are struggling and hurting just kills me. 

We have been going over to Starkville where there live a lot the past few weeks. There are so many special memories that I have there. I love being there because it reminds me of so many happy good times that have past but now it is very sad and hard because I know things are changing. 

A few weeks ago my cousin Daisy and I were there together and we went running. We ran by the house that she was born in. We found where her sisters name was written in the concrete by her dad who is now gone. We talked about some of the memories she had with him. It's almost been two years since he has been gone. Life here on earth is so hard. 

I took a picture of her in front of her in their old house. It made my heart happy and ache all at the same time to think of all the things that have happened since she had lived there. 

I know that things change and that is the way life is here on earth. I just long for the day when our Savior makes everything right. 

Wacky Wednesday and a pedicure date

A few weeks ago Ellie had wacky Wednesday at school. 

I knee that would be right up her alley. I told her about it and she said " ok but first dress annie like like" I explained that it was only her class and she could dress as crazy as she wanted and then she was on board.  We were running a little late but this is what we came up with.

The funniest thing she thought was that she was wearing two different shoes:)

Annie and I went with Aunt Ashley and had a pedicure. 

She just loves being pampered...

She sat so still while they painted her toes :)

A visit with baby Rowan

Baby Rowan came home from the hospital and we went to visit!

The girls had not been able to hold Rowan while she was in the hospital and they were just dying to get their hands on her. 

They both just loved her to pieces. 

Even Ellie who is not usually big on baby dolls and such didn't want to let her go.

Fancy pants just ate up her snuggle time and kept on trying to find more time to hold her avian. 

I didn't want to leave her either.

She looked just like a little baby doll all wrapped up. 

She is so sweet and cuddly. I could just sit all day and hold her and not even care that I didn't get one thing accomplished :)

A day at the mall

We have just about run out of winter indoor activities...

I'm so ready for spring to come and stay. 

We have been meeting our friends at the mall and eating lunch and riding the carousel and earl g lunch and going to the lego store. It's a fun different indoor thing to do and the girls seem to like  love it. 

Picking which animal we are going to ride is always a big hit.

These two girls have become sweet little friends!

( even though they don't look like it)

Hopefully when spring comes we can meet at the park :)

Snow day

They had forecasted snow and school was cancelled.

We had done all the fun things we could think of...

And we waited and waited...

Made indoor s'more...

Got really excited about them :)

Finally realized that it wasn't going to do anything until bedtime.

Put Annie to bed...

Looked out the window saw snow. Showed it to Ellie and let her play in it for a few minutes before bedtime. 

Woke up to snow! 

Went out to play around 630 because we were worries it would all melt away if we waited too long. 

Had a snowball fight!

Built a snowman... Which is what Ellie had been talking all about!!!

Annie waited inside while we played and froze outside . She didn't think too much of the cold and snow :) 

Ellie and Macy

This girl loves her kitty.

When I try and explain to people how laid back macy is I don't think they understand. 

So this picture should explain it. Macy was hanging from this baby carrier on the scooter and was purring the whole time.

Perfect kitty for this little girl who cannot keep her hands off her pet :)
