The last two weeks!

We've had a lot going on the last two weeks!! First of all, last Thursday I accepted a job with our church..Brown's Bridge Community Church!! I wasn't even looking for anything seeing that I just started a job last December. But I had interviewed with the church about 3 years ago when I was pregnant with Caroline and it didn't work out at the time. Another position opened up a few weeks ago, and my small group leader (who works at the church) submitted my name to the director and before I knew it I was offered the position! I'm SO thrilled b/c I've wanted this job for awhile now! I will be in our Waumba Land area which is for 0-4 years old and will be over the Host Team! I will be able to take Caroline to work with me and will have Friday's off! I start in a week and can't wait! God has truly blessed us with this opportunity!

Last Saturday Caroline went to a pool party for one of her friends in her daycare class. We had so much fun and when we came home she took a 3 hour nap...which is awesome for mommy!! Here's some pictures of her with her friends Megan and Sydney. Such cute little girls!




Love the expressions in this picture!






Blake had a good Father's day. Even though I have no pictures to prove it!!! I guess since we have none for Mother's day it's only right to have none from Father's day! Here are some pictures from the night before when Caroline and I took him out for a Father's Day dinner to Norman's Landing! Of course, she had to get out her fine jewerly for her date with daddy!


My parents bought Blake tickets to the Gwinnett Braves game and we decided to take Caroline with us since she's never been! She had a blast. She was talking all the way there about the baseball game. We ate dinner at Chick-Fil-A and then enjoyed the night as a family watching the game!

All ready and excited to go!




Nothing like a little princess picking her nose!!!

I kept telling her to stop picking her nose so that I could take the picture and she wouldn't stop so finally I say, "fine...this picture will embarrass you when you are older!" lol!

So, that about wraps up our last couple of weeks since my last post. I keep hoping life will slow down soon...but I'm not sure it's going to happen!!! I can't believe we are almost to July. Time just flies!!

Big girl room/bed

Today, we changed Caroline's crib into a toddler bed! I have dreaded this day forever and I think the main reason is because it's just another reminder that she's growing up and not a baby anymore! It's so sad to me to think how quickly time has passed but at the same time I'm loving this age and the amount of things she's learning! I bought the toddler rail months ago and decided today that it's time. I waited this long because she slept sooo good in her crib and never tried to climb out. But since we've switched some things around in her room recently, I thought we might as well do the bed too! She took a nap in her new bed and did amazing. She was hesitant when we first put her in there and wasn't too sure about it but fell asleep and slept over 2 hours. When we put her in the bed tonight she hopped right in and went fast asleep! I know it's only the first night and that she'll eventually learn that she can get in/out but for now, things are going smoothly!!!

Here's some pictures of her big girl room! Her room has always been a flower/birds theme. I got the bedding at pottery barn kids when she was born and it's been wonderful b/c it was easy to transition to a big girl room theme too. So, I didn't have to do much to her room but we did a few things to make it seem more of a "big girl" room rather than a "baby" room! Sorry in advance for the quality of the pictures...my camera wouldn't cooperate with me tonight but you can at least get the gist!!

This used to be her chaning table! We took the top off and added her favorite books!


I got Caroline's one year pictures (by Farrah Nicole Photography) framed! I love the way this turned out!


So very true!


Her big girl bed!


Toys and hairbows!


Her lovely princess time out stool!


I got these awesome bird houses at Hobby Lobby...love that store! They each have a picture of the first time Blake held her and a picture of her and I before leaving the hosptial. Very special memories!


I got this from Home Goods! I love it because she does a ton of artwork at school so now we have somewhere to display it!


Another view of her toys!


And little priss when she woke up from her nap!
