Cousins

Every Sunday we all meet at my parents house for a "Sunday Dinner". We've done this for years and just LOVE it! Caroline loves to see her cousins, Kendall and Maddox. They like to push her on this John Deer car and Caroline would let them push her all day if they would. She cries anytime we make her get off. Here's some pics of them last night!



Wasn't the weather beautiful this past weekend??? We took full advantage of it and stayed outside all weekend. On Saturday we had lunch with friends and then hit up the outlet mall in Dawsonville. Then on Sunday while at my parents house, we washed my car to get all of the snow salt off of it. Here's a pic of Caroline showing off her shades. (*note, she did have pants on but they got food all over them when she had lunch so my mom had them in the dryer for us*)

Weekend recap!

On Saturday since it was so snowy and since Caroline had a little bit of congestion, we stayed home all day in our P.J's. It was a fun and relaxing day...which is just what we needed! While we were playing around in the living room, Caroline found a new hiding spot. She's learned how to open the doors to our entertainment system and pull everything out and crawl in and make herself at home!


On Sunday after church we had my parents over for lunch to celebrate my mom's birthday. Caroline was extremely fussy all day Saturday and again on Sunday. She is getting a mouthfull of teeth and she let us know that she was not happy about it. She's also having a little bit of trouble with her belly from switching to whole milk so with that plus the teething she was a mess. None the less, she had a good time entertaining her grandparents and celebrating her grandmothers birthday! My mom was tearing off little pieces of cupcake for Caroline to eat and Caroline grabbed the entire cupcake out of her hand and just smashed it in her mouth...I think she has my sweet tooth! The 2nd pic is so cute because my dad was trying to steal her cupcake and she kept shoving it in her mouth quicker so that he wouldn't eat it!

Mom's birthday, Snow and Video!

Today is my mom's birthday!!! My Mom is such a special person to me and I love her with all of my heart! She loves winter so I was happy that it snowed on her birthday!!! Here are some pics of Caroline working on a birthday sign for her grandma. She did a good job coloring it but not a good job holding it so that mom could take a pic of it. Oh well...you get the gist! And here are pics of Caroline looking out of the door at the snow and we even let her get out there for 5 minutes to get a close up view of it. She loved looking at it from the inside and was so funny...she would look at it and then look at me with the biggest smile and then she would just scream and jump up and down! I think she approves it:) I love snow and was so glad that we got at least one good snow in this year! It was even nice to get out of work 3 hours early...but the traffic trying to get home was another story! And finally, here is a funny video of Caroline. My in-laws came over last night to visit and they spoiled Caroline by riding her around and around in her new car. She could ride for hours! She was just laughing and talking her head off!

Watching cartoons

Caroline loves sitting in her minnie mouse chair and watching cartoons in the mornings while mommy and daddy finish getting ready for work! (and no we don't let her sit there for hours among hours) Here's a pic that her daddy took of her this morning. She was so into what she was watching. It's the life to have a paci, blanket, minnie mouse chair, and the tv on!



Our poor Caroline had to make a trip to the dr again today. She's been having a runny nose, tugging at her ears, and a little cough for a few days. Other than her symptoms she seems to be a happy baby so we weren't sure if we should take her in or not but after finding out that a few babies in her daycare class have RSV, I thought we better go just to be sure. Well she doesn't have RSV again, thank goodness, but she does have a viral infection. Her throat is sore with red bumps in the back of it and she has red bumps on her stomach and back too. They said it will go away in a few days..hopefully they are right!

On another note, she took 2 steps by herself last night!!! I got so excited when she did it that I think I scared her b/c she didn't want to do it again but it won't be long now before we have a little walker in the house:)

Wordless Wednesday: Shopping

Girls Lunch

Every 2-3 months we get together for a girls lunch with my mom's side of her family and celebrate birthdays that are coming up for that month. It's a lot of fun to get together and chat and catch up with what's going on and to eat good southern food. Yesterday we went to one of our favorite spots, Journey's End! It was so good and we all left ready for a nap because our bellies were so full! They usually put us in a back room, since there's about 12 of us and we just sit back there for hours and enjoy ourselves! Caroline loved the food as well...she pretty much ate the entire time we were there. She ate more there than she eats in an entire day!!! Between January and February we had four birthdays to celebrate!!! Here are some pics to show how much fun we had!

First, I want to show you what Caroline and Logan looked like this time last year when we got together for lunch (same restaurant!). Caroline was 1 month and Logan was 2 months old.

And here they are now...what a difference a year makes!

Here's some pics of us sitting at the table!







Here's Caroline opening her gifts. She loved everything she got!


And to end our day, we had a nice gentleman take a group picture of all of us!

It was fun girls!!! Can't wait to do it again:)

On the go!!!

This is one of the gifts Blake and I gave Caroline for her birthday and we are just now getting around to putting it together for her.

Caroline was so excited when her daddy put her car together because she has places she needs to go and friends that she needs to visit!!!


They have the same car at daycare that they ride her in and the daycare owner told me that Caroline loves it so I thought she would enjoy having one at home! I can't wait until this summer when we can ride outside.
