Here are some pictures from tonight at the park when I got off work! We had so much fun. After dinner Abby got her bath and then when wrapped in her towel we went outside to watch Barry and Tyson playing baseball. She wanted to be sat down and as soon as she was out of my grasp she stripped off the towel and ran naked toward her daddy! It was hilarious. The neighbors were laughing hysterically and I was just like, only in the south! So precious. I am not posting the pictures that I took, however they will be saved and used as blackmail when she is older!

Play time!

The weather was so nice today so Barry and the kids went for a long walk today and when I got home we all played outside, Abby played with her soccer ball and Barry and Tyson played basketball. Abby really enjoyed watching them play ball. She is still running the house like a woman on a mission (that mission being to avoid bed at all costs)! They have started to help at daycare and she is now "old enough" to be potty trained. Now, she has been doing it at home off and on for several months now but at the daycare they are working with her now and have been for about two weeks now. They said that she is doing well and goes once a day but the rest of the time she wants to just go in there and "fush the t-o-i-l-e-t". That is how she says it. You have to stress the word toilet. She is getting so big! Anyway, enjoy the pictures and the video below. We are supposed to get some rain tomorrow so it might be a rainy day spent at the Jacksonville library. Hope you all have a great weekend! Oh, I could make some cupcakes....haven't done that in a while. Soccer ball time. On the front porch where it is safe with boards and the ball won't go anywhere.

I am always behind the camera so we managed to snag one of the ladies of the house.

Easter morning

Abby in her sailor dress and new white shoes for Easter servies! The rest of the pictures are just of the kids with their Easter baskets. I almost want to give them to the kids on the night before as to not take away from the reason why we celebrate Easter. Hell hath been defeated...the grave could not hold the KING!

Look mimi!

Barry, Tyson and Abby

Find those eggs

On Saturday morning we went to Cornerstone Baptist for an egg hunt, lunch and the story of Easter. Lunch after working so hard to get the eggs

Look!

On the go

Cheese Tyson

Steve was reading the story of Easter and Jesus' Resurection to the children prior to the egg hunt!

Mom (mimi), Dad (pops) and Abby looking cheesy!

Jay, Heather, Barry, me, Abby, Chance and Trinity! Heather and I have been friends for over 29 years and it is so great that we can now watch our kids play together and do things. I love it!

Abby's birthday party in Texarkana

Well, Abby turned two on March 30th so we did her birthday party this Easter weekend in Texarkana. She had lots of presants (can't wait to get that Texas Longhorns rocking chair set up in her room mom!) and clothes galore! She had so much fun! The date on the pictures is wrong as you can tell! But more importantly...look at that hair!

Happy birthday my singing princess! your father and I love you very much and are blessed every day to have you in our lives! You are a wonderful little girl and we only grow to love you more each passing day.

Spring photo session

So, Spring is in the air and Easter is just a week away so me and the kids and Barry headed to the lake on the base to see if we could get some good pics of the kids. Not much else to post, it has been a nice quiet week. Tyson finally finished up is tournament today and after two games they took fourth place. He is getting a lot more confident at the plate. It will take some adjusting I am sure as this is his first year with live arm pitching, but he is doing so well and playing first base! Today is my grandmothers birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA. We will be with my family next weekend for Easter and I am so happy. I feel like it has been forever since I have seen them. Have a great week.

My favorite one of the day!

Happy Birthday Abby!

Well, today our little baby girl turned two years old. I still can't believe that two years have gone by since that wonderful day when we had her. She is now talking non stop and is doing really well at the potty training all of a sudden. It is like a light went off. She will randomally stop, take her diaper off (or pull up) and then say potty and take off. You have to keep a close eye on her to make sure she isn't taking her pants off in the middle of the living room because you could potentially end up with a puddle. We had a great evening. She had cake and we sang to her and she got lots of tinker bell gifts and some new books. She loves books! I am just amazed everyday by her intelligence and thank God everyday for the precious gift that he sent to us. Thank you for reading and enjoy the pictures of the beautiful little two year old that is now sleeping soundly in her bed. Canb you tell that she really loves her tinkerbell?

She was opeining her gift here.

Here is her new monkey book.

She got a new etch a sketch that has tinkerbell on the edges and a book to teach you how to draw

I can do it

Her Aunt Michelle got her a tinkerbell also!

Little fingers in the icing.....lol

Here we were getting ready to sing Happy Birthday to her and she can sing it as well but she always sings Happy Birthday to Daddy when she does it because Barry's birthday was last week so she heard us sing it that way and now that is how she thinks that it goes.
