Winter in Ohio

Its cold her in Ohio.. I just looked at the weather and its currently 13 degrees..the low is 2. In Memphis, snow was a big deal ( there was mad craziness at the grocery..people act a little insane) and everything shuts down with the thought of snow. Not here. We have snow on the forcast 3 days this week. Its amazing..because you get to get out and do normal things, since they salt the roads so well. Its totally different living here.. but, it has been a good different. I am loving the winter..but, I admit, I am pretty excited about the spring! Because we can go to the park, play on the playground, and run through the sprinklers! Presley LOVED the sprinklers last year, so I am sure we will go often. I think this year, we may even go to Kings Island.. lots of people have season passes just for the awesome water park, so we may have to try that out.

We have been keeping busy with playdates.. Last week, we made it over to see Lindsey, Greyson, and baby Sehla. Presley had a blast.
 She has been loving getting in other people's beds lately.. The last two places we have been I have found her like these! lol
Its so funny... I walk to thinking she is playing with her friend.. NOPE, she's in their BED! ;)
I think she's probably getting ready to move to the toddler bed ( but, i feel so safe with her in the crib)
She actually climbed out of hers the other day and fell out, so if that happens again, Matt and I will moved her to her toddler bed. :( kindof sad.



Greyson and Presley

 I just LOVE this picture of her and her friend, Grey.. So sweet!






I am getting excited for MOPs and Ladies Bible to start back up soon...we are a little burnt out on coloring, TV, and playdough!
I am excited to visit these two places soon.. The first one is less than 10 min from me..the other is probably 20.. Run, Jump, and Play it has an indoor playground, with huge inflatables, and glow in the dark bowling..heard its fun! And the second one, our MOPs group is going to soon...Bananas
And when Matt is off next week, we may go to the the Cincy Children's Museum ( which is AWESOME, Presley loved it) or the Aquarium. Love that we have some indoor things on our list!

Right now, I am loving these.. even though I DO NOT need to know how many calories are in them!
UDF Milkshakes.. NOTHING like em!

Listening to Miranda Lambert, Trace Atkins, and Taylor Swift..this southern girl has to have her country. But, I love LOTS of music..just at the moment..loving these 3. 
LOVING my Iphone.. Pandora is amazing.. Presley and I have started a new thing.. we listen to the Toddler station or her favorite the Dora station ( which had ELMO, too..tonight!).. gotta love FREE radio.. WE act so goofy..and sing so loud our neighbors probably HATE us. :)

I absolutely LOVE these two.. I tape them, and watch them during P's nap.. but, sometimes, its good for her to PLAY instead of watching TV, and I use this time, to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate, pick up the house, fold clothes, and LAUGH out loud.. HODA's playlist is my favorite.. We could be great friends, I just know it. Kathie Lee is hilarious, too.. Together, well, its just good TV!

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
My favorite verse at the moment. It has always been a favorite, just one that's pretty special at the moment.

Really loving this little angel!



She has done so many cute things lately.. I love that she is TALKING up a storm..and repeating everything.. 
*I call our dog Daisy inside..and she stands at the door with me, saying, "Daisy, come in!" lol
*She also, see baby Jesus in her little Bible sleeping and says, "Shhh, baby Jesus sleeping, Mommy."
*She got on the potty this morning..and looked at me very seriously, and then starting Mooooing. What? love it!
*She was watching Dora the other night..and I was so happy her Daddy got to witness this too, they started "gorilla walking" and she started doing it too!! lol IT was hilarious..and now, sometimes during the day, she "gorilla walks" across the room!
*She loves her Daddy, gets so excited to wake him up in the mornings. Loves giving him butterfly and eskimo kisses :) 
*She is loving going on playdates..She asks me.. "Are we going to Chloe's house again?" so cute. 
*She is somewhat picky with food, which I know is pretty normal at her age, but can be a little testing..But, all and all, she is a sweetheart..and I am blessed to be her mommy.

I made this yummy meal tonight for dinner.. Meatball and Provolone Subs..YUM!!!! They were so easy..gotta love crockpots this time of year!!
