Over the weekend..

We had a great weekend, last weekend.. Matt's parents came to visit. We always have such a great time when they come see us! I am just now blogging about it, because I haven't been feeling well the last couple of days..
We got to relax, go out to eat, and have a date night with some friends watching the Super Bowl.
Presley also got some more Christmas presents, since we didn't go home this year.
She was pretty excited about this.. Her 1st Radio Flyer Tricycle!! I remember loving mine as a child, and have pics of my Granddaddy pushing me.. So, this are pretty special. Presley had so much fun having them here!

We can't wait until spring..so we can ride it outside!! :)

LAZY day

We have been staying inside a TON due to weather...so we are playing inside..all day! We get creative..but, for her birthday..Aunt Coco ( Courtney) got her a Dora Tent.

She just LOVES playing in her Dora tent. Today, I got in with her to have a tea party ( why else?:) and Daisy got in with us! :) She wanted in on the fun, too!
I am so looking forward to this weekend..my sweet in-laws will be coming in town. We haven't seen them since Presley's party the beginning of Dec. We always love to have company! :) Matt is off this weekend, so GLAD! yay!!
My cutie pie..lazy day..tent fun!

What we have been up to...

Alot of this! :) We have been at home for 2 days ( we even have ice today, so my Bible Study was cancelled :(
She is doing great...but, has a ways to go. I love how excited ( see below pic) she gets when she goes potty!
She asked me to go often...but, usually already has gone. I hear its easier to train in the spring or summer..which makes sense ( they can where less clothes) So, we are taking it slow. She got 10 stickers this week.. So, I told her we would get her something special. She is really loving Veggie Tales..so I may get her a Veggie Tale movie or something like that.

This is my favorite! lol..she just had to have Monkey with her! :)

Matt is working a crazy schedule this week because his boss and several other managers are in Vegas. He is working 8-6, so we are getting to see him every night, which is GREAT... Wish his schedule was more normal sometimes..It has been so nice for him to see Presley every night. But, I am so thankful for Carmax and his job. He is happy...and that makes me happy!

My blessing

I am just LOVING this little ANGEL! She is such a blessing to Matt and I!! She is so full of energy, and I love that there is NEVER a dull moment with her! 

Presley you are such an amazing little girl..I am blessed to call you mine! You are so smart, full of life, kind, gentle, and most of all..HILARIOUS! I can't even begin to explain how much LOVE I have in my heart for you. God made you so special..from the inside out! I love seeing you grow, even though it is hard sometimes. My favorite part of the day is reading, rocking, and praying with you before bed. Hearing you say your prayers, and a AMEN..is icing on the cake. I pray you have a love for Jesus and strive to live the life He has called you for. You are and always will be my baby! ;)

Love,

Mommy

New Friendships..

Presley and I had a great day today.. We meet our sweet friends for a McDonald's playdate! The McDonald's near me has a great toddler play area, which worked perfect for our kiddos! We just love these two girls and their families! Ms. Avery was visiting her grandparents, so she wasn't able to join us.

 This is my sweet, creative friend, Tiffany..she and I hit it off from the start..and Presley and I love hanging out with her and her adorable children!
(~Not sure what my hair is doing in this pic!lol)

And this awesome girl is so much fun! She was my first friend in Ohio..and we have so much in common, its crazy.. Our husbands are great friends..and we love hanging out with this family!

Here are Presley's boyfriends :) Aren't they the cutest!!?

Presley thought it was more fun to go down the slide hands first! :)

 Meet the Babies!

Ms. Mia

Ms. Selah

Look at these sweet hair clips, Tiffany made for Presley :) We love them!

This is what our place looks like at the moment..A little like the North Pole..but, its gorgeous..and I am trying to enjoy it! 

My Dream home:) This place is super close to us..and its just gorgeous with this beautiful snow..so I had to take a picture! :)

Oh, happy day!

My photography logo is complete! My sweet friend, Jennifer did exactly what I envisioned. Matt saw it and his first word was feminine. I thought that was a great way to describe it. :) I am excited to get my photography blog updated..so bear with me..its still in the works! Here's a few pics of my baby doll. :) Seriously, how did I get so lucky?

This morning was MOPs, which I just LOVE..so great to have other Christian Moms with Preschoolers, going through the same things I am. I have been blessed to make lots of friends, and hear wonderful speakers and mentor moms give great Godly advice. Today, our pastors, wife spoke about being a Christian parent in this crazy world..it was great..basically following this verse.

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6

I am just very thankful for this group at our church..and happy I get to be a part of it!

On a another note, we are getting more snow tonight.. It just started and we should have a few inches by the morning..Can we say, love it..its pretty, but, I'm ready for SPRING! lol

My little Chatterbox :)
