Precious Angel From Heaven!

For dinner, I made steamed broccoli, squash, amd sweet potatoes. A warm real bran muffin completed the vegan menu. As the below pic suggest, it was not Caroline's favorite. She did eat more than I thought she would though. She laid her head down when she was " All done" and I snapped this!!! The above pic was about 30 minutes later when she grabbed a Dorito from the pantry...Mommy did too! Vegan, veggie, healthy shmealthy, a couple of chips won't hurt, right?!!!

"all done mommy"

I love life Mommy!!!! Esp. when I get butter with my broccoli!

She got to have a few grapes at her little table in the living room before dinner in the kitchen. I moved the table in the kitchen for a few days only to take it out today. She loves eating at it though!

I dropped a raisin Mommy! And thanks Gay GAy for the new Hannah outfit! We love it!!!

It's a PARTY!

Reagan turned two Friday and we celebrated her party at her house on Friday night. I took my precious nieces with me, Emma Kate and Taylor!! They make all parties more fun---Thanks for inviting us Ally! We love ReaRea!!! Can't believe it's been 2 years. WOW!

She loved opening her presents!

Caroline wants a bite!

Taylor and Emma are excited over the food!

The right side of the yard--BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Getting Ready to Start the big project

In order for Caroline to get a swing set and to be able to play on green grass, Daddy boy had to come up with a plan because our backyard was well, bad.

He opted to tractor in dirt, top soil, and mulch, what else we would we do, right?! Friday the fun began and here are the beginning pics---it just so happened Daddy boy had a trip to the farm planned with Caudill to hunt and "work" of course so he missed all the excitement and work up here. As a result, my Mom came up and brought EK and Taylor. We had three kids, GayGay and GaGa here to oversee the project. I must say it was quite the excitement!!! Trees came down, and bobcats went back and forth bringing in 7 truckloads of dirt for TWO days. I am sure the neighbors LOVED us. They worked until 9pm at night with GaGa overseeing every last step, literally. I don't think he sat down all day----but in the end, so far it is great....no swing set yet....but we are getting closer!!! Enjoy the pics! And thanks again GaGa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And when Robin asked Taylor's favorite part of the trip, it wasn't the park or the Hannah Anderson outfit GayGay bought her, she said watching the "dump" trucks!

A Visit with Tara and baby NATE!

Noah, Caroline, and Nic
Tara, Nate, Caroline and Me!

A couple of Fridays ago, Caroline, Mom and I were able to stop by and see my precious friend Tara and her new beautiful baby boy, Nate. He is adorable as are her other two boys! I had an absolute ball hanging out with them. You have to know Tara to appreciate how sweet she is and I guess I could say the same for the boys....all boy and all CUTE!

Congratulations on your new addition Tara. He is beautiful!!!

Talking Talking Talking!!!!

I really wanted to blog about precious today~~~ She is talking SO MUCH. blowing my mind really. As a first time parent, it is amazing to watch their little vocabulary flourish. She can completely say/sing her ABC's. And she even said "Please open door Mommy!" I said not only is she talking but she's using her manners. Her favorite little friend now is Baby Anna. We walk late Friday afternoons with her and her Mommy Elizabeth. And Caroline constantly talks about baby Anna. Her favorite foods consist of pizza~ That's right the same Mommy that fed her homemade baby food has created a pizza toddler. She gets it occationally as a pizza lover myself I'm like who can blame her?!?!?!?!?
