My little climber

She looks so innocent, right? 

Think again! :)

*Grandparents.. keep looking at your own risk.

It happened once.. then I got her down. PROMISE! LOL

the jumping picture.. picture that here..It didn't happen.. I was catching her..to avoid injuries! :)

Ok..now, she needed a break...with her tasty grapes:)

-Love seeing those little legs crossed!

Break didn't last long!! What she wants to do..all day.. Be like her sister, Daisy Mae.

btw, that empty frame now has pictures..10 months later.yay!

What I LOVE to see her do instead..good little girl :)

Clip was put in her hair directly following picture.. SO ready for it to grow long enough to put behind ears!

And a BW one for fun.. still playing with that Vday balloon. :) 

Wheew.. She keeps me going.. My house looks like a tornado hit.. She is down for a nap.. and I am off to clean up!

♥ Monkey love ♥

I got to test out my new lens today. YAY! Its much bigger than my other one, so I gotta work on getting them sharper..and hand shake.
It was quick..still cloudy and little chilly outside. Here is my little monkey with her little monkey.
Matt bought this for her on our trip to Hot Springs ( she was only 6 months old :) She has slept with it everynight since! Its her lovey, her best friend..most mornings she takes it with her to eat breakfast, too. lol
She adores Monkey.
I think Matt and I treat "monkey" like another child, too. We are pretty serious about Monkey, esp. when we can't find him! Although, lately, Presley has been saying, "Where is she?"(referring to monkey..so I guess Monkey is a she?

A fun bw one :)

Rain Rain.. GO away!!

It has been raining NONstop! for 2 days. I am so ready for spring!! This little girl is, too! Excuse the fact that she is wearing "fall" clothes ( it was too chilly to wear something spring like) She does not look at the camera much.. she is too excited to be outside, of course! Thankfully, an airplane flew over us, and I got some great expressions.. LOVE them!!

Seeing the airplane :)

One of my favs!! :)

Reaching for it.

Nite Nite

I rarely ever get out the camera at bedtime..Mainly, because I am usually too tired. :)
So the other night, Presley looked too cute in her Pjs..I just had to snap a few ( in AUTO mind ya, I don't have an external flash..so it was just the easy way. When I got my camera out, I realized that Presley had put on my shoes..lol.. Then she came over to me, and tried to steal my houseshoes.. she thought it was hilarious!

Love this girl!!! I am also pretty excited because the zoom lens I have been saving for came in today!!! I can't wait for it to stop raining so I get play with it!!
Yesterday, was Matt's day off..it was so great to spend a lazy rainy day at home with him!!

On a different note, please be in prayer for this sweet little girl, Lucy

2. I love photography.. I just took a leap of faith..and started my own little side business. (very much a side thang;)

I am doing this mainly because I love it, and because I wanted to do something fun for a little extra $. I am also excited to give portions of my earnings to Compassion. ( which is a WONDERFUL organization!!)

3. I love watching TV at night, Matt and I watch a lot of movies..We are LOVING Netflix (esp, now that we can stream them on our Blueray.. even P can watch Dora, VeggieTales, Kipper, and Angelina Ballerina at anytime.. Its great!! My favorites show is Parenthood, hands down..best show..ever. Today Show with Hoda and Kathie Lee..is my favorite daytime show. LOVE them, they are hilarious. I always love Hoda's playlist, too. :)

Our weekend

Matt has been off work..so that always equals a great weekend!
We ate Mexican for lunch on Sat. ( Presley told us very loudly, where everyone could hear..
 about her BOOTY!)
We didn't know if we should laugh or make her quiet, quickly! :)

We came home, relaxed and watched Life As We Know it ( GREAT movie!) Matt even liked it.. Will he said he did. :)
On Sunday, we planned on going to church.. but, instead I let Matt sleep in ( he has worked extra hard this week) Has even gone to work twice this weekend (his days off) just a lot on his plate right now! So, when he woke up.. He made us breakfast. LOVE HIM. Especially, since it was Chocolate Chip Pancakes! OH yeah!!
I made a pot of potato soup for dinner, and we started watching 2012, but, I was too tired.. so I guess we will finish it up tonight.
Presley is keeping up entertained these days.
Few of her quotes of the week.

*Mommy, watch Dora? yeah, ME TOO!
*Hugs and kisses? Want Hugs and kisses?
*Mommy, what next? ( talking about the next show to come on TV) yes.. we have been watching more *lately.. ugh.. ready for spring!
*Down men = I want down from table
*Shhh. Mommy, Daddy sleeping. ( when she knew he was still asleep)
*MINE! ( oh, yes, already starting!!)
Last night she called me from her room, after I put her to sleep.. I walk in and she says, No rain, Mommy..I want SONG.. talking about her sound machine.. I changed it.. walked out..and to sleep she went! lol ( she is already turning into a picky little girl, OH, boy!)

Ready for Spring. Yes, please. We had a warm day a few weeks ago.. and I was so excited to snap a few pics of my little sweetie in a dress. We are ready for park playdates!!

I am also looking forward to Ladies Bible Study tommorrow.. I have missed last 3 weeks, and have missed it so much! One thing I have really learned over the last few months is this word--Contentment. I have really realized how to be thankful for my many blessings. Yes, of course there are "things of this world" or material things that I would love to have..but, in the end.. its never going to fill me up. Our pastor, said one time.. we all have a vacuum shaped God hole.. And NOTHING satisfies us like HE and only HE can. 

Presley loves her books, and so do I

I just love that my little angel loves to read! We read ALL day..and every night before bed..I just love that she has even started telling me what the next page is going to say in some of her favorite books. :)

We didn't steal this book from the Bartlett Library, I know what you are thinking! lol
My mom bought it at a sale..and Presley LOVES it.. She has learned so many words from this book..its AMAZING!!

WE are also loving these Laura Numeroff books .. Presley just loves, "If you give a Pig a Pancake."
Chick-fila was giving them out with happy meals.. which I think is SO much better than a toy they could care less about. Good job, Chick-fila!

I am currently reading the book "The Help" ( which I am really liking so far)

I am so glad its FRIDAY!! I am ready for spring, too!! Aren't we all!!  Matt is off, and I am looking forward to some family time! :)

Verse and quote I am loving right now!!
