New Quilt

I found this adorable quilt on Etsy.com. I just love it. It will be perfect in our new house.

Fingers!

Greta loves her. finger. Now we can't get the "baby" (aka pacifer) from Jackson and we can never take the fingers away. What's a mom to do?!

Good Morning!

Brandon and I woke to the sound of Greta's music player on her crib. This is what we found....

Johnny Jumper

Greta starting using the Johnny jumper. I can't believe how big she is getting.

Hiding

Jackson hid under his computer table to have a little snack!

Dino Draft

Need I say more?

Toes!

Greta has found her toes and loves to put them in her mouth.

Nap time.

Jackson was supposed to be taking a nap. This is what i found when I checked on him. How do you get after the little guy for reading. Needless to say, he read for a little while and then laid down to sleep.

WATER FIGHT

Brandon and Jackson had a water fight and I think you can tell had better aim.

Protecting the baby lion!

Jackson likes to pretend he is a lion. Now that Greta is a little older, he is the daddy lion and she is the baby lion and he is protecting her. What a great big brother!

Rolling Over

Every day when I have picked up Greta from school, Ms. Tress, the assistant director, not ever her teacher, has told me how she is doing. Greta is the only girl in her class, so they were thrilled to have a little girl in the class and her notes say how happy and giggly she is. Today, Ms. Tress had a funny little story for me, Greta has started rolling over, but doesn't like to be on her tummy and will let you know. She is so content and happy that her fussyness when she rolls to her tummy has made quite a stir at school.

Cousins

This picture is from Easter, but i just think they are the cutest cousins.

Swinging

Greta enjoyed the great weather in the swing. I love the ears!!

CHOO CHOO

Nashville Zoo

We went to the Nashville Zoo yesterday with Lauren, Tiffany and her two little ones, Bella and Aden. We went during the YMCA's fitness day, so they got to play in addition to looking at all the animals. We had such a great time. Jackson keeps talking about it and his new friends to everyone we see.
Jackson's Jack Hanna hat!

Tiffany taking the boys to the littler jumper!

Bella beating the 4th grade boy! Go Bella!!

Our tour guide.

Jackson got an elephant.

As you know JPV, was a giraffe for Halloween, so he was thrilled that they were so close eating grass. (sorry, i cant figure out how to turn the pic)

There is a pretty bird in the tree.

Bella, Aden and Jackson ready for a fun day at the zoo.

LIfe really is good.

Easter Eggs

Jackson colored his first Easter eggs this year. We had alot of fun and multicolored fingers when we were all done.

Thank you!

Thank you bubba and papa for coming to spend Easter with us. We had so much fun with you. We love and miss you.

Bubba Mary

Thank you mom for coming down to take care of Greta when I went back to work. It made it so much better to know she would be so well taken care of. I really appreciate everything. Thanks dad for letting mom spend so much time with her grandkids even though they are so far away. It means so much to all of us.

Greta's 1st day of school

Greta started Primrose on Monday. She was so lucky to get to spend two weeks with Bubba Mary and then one week with Bubba Linda before she had to start school. She made it 2 hours her first day and then daddy had to pick her up because she had a rash. Her second day she had to go to the doctor for her 4 month well baby visit and to get a note she wasn't contagious. Greta is a healthy baby girl. She is long and lean, 81% for height and 60% for weight. It is amazing how fast they grow.

Egg Hunt

Honey (auntie Chelsea) invited us to the Dollar General Easter Egg Hunt. We got to hunt for eggs with auntie TT and Emmie, and both Bubbas too. We had so much fun.

Playing on the playground was lots of fun!

Emmie found many eggs.

Look how full my basket is!

Honey held Greta.

Greta was the only one who would sit on the Easter Bunny's lap. Emmie cried and Jackson wouldn't even go by him.

Rootbeer Floats

JPV got his first rootbeer float and LOVED it.

Spring

JPV made a flower hat at school, but wouldn't let me take his picture in it. However, Greta posed for me. What a pretty little girl.

"lets work together"

Daddy and JPV cleaned the deck. He is such a good helper. He is into team work. he always says "lets work together" and give fives (high five).
