Easter 2008

We had a wonderful Easter!! I hope everyone else did!! I will warn you this is a long post...........Well pix anyway!! Hope you enjoy- Let me start w/ the first pix you will see............. This was Easter Morning as we were going through what the Easter Bunny brought us! Anna Grace was so sweet- She got some really cute animal cups and they are great- I have pictures of the Easter basket but made a collage of most of the pix- I hope that is OK it would be a lot of editing though so i figured i would go w/ simple- **MAKE SURE YOU ENLARGE THEM** This is the party we had at Nana's house on Saturday- We had 54 people come!! We didn't get a lot of pix on Saturday b/c we were having too much fun I guess!!!?!?!!! We dyed eggs and hunted plastic eggs!! It was great-- The pix of Anna Grace hunting eggs was on Sunday at Nana's house!! She was SO sweet and would pick an egg up and put it in her basket and clap for herself and say YAAAAAAAYYY!! It was too cute-- The Easter Sunday outfits are last- We did OK this year but trying to get a baby to look at the camera along w/ a 5 year old and an 8 year old is difficult!! So we did our best :o) Hope you all are doing well!! We will be in Disney World in 1 week and 2 days!!! Make sure you vote on the **NEW** poll at the top!! So w/o further ado pictures!

What are the odds??!!?!?!?!!!? part 2

Here are the pictures of Princess loving on Easter Bunny!! She is talking about him going "eastar buny"!! She is so cute!! Today we were trying clothes on her and i noticed that she is REALLY small- Much smaller than i think- She can fit into a 12 month but it is still big and the 18 month falls off of her!! She has a "Buddha Belly" but that is the only barely big part of her!! She is so small- with Gymboree clothes she is going to be in a 6-9 or 9-12 this summer and in regular clothes A 12 month!! It amazes me how little she is and she eats so much!!

What Are The ODDS????!!!?

What are the odds that the child who in the pix above screamed her head off as soon as she got near Jolly Old St Nick' but thought the Easter Bunny was the coolest thing to hit earth??? Well that child is as you guessed Anna Grace!! She loved on the Easter Bunny and hugged him and petted him but Santa Claus hahaha She screamed at him slapped and kicked trying to get out of his arms!??!!!? We have got a drama queen in our presents- Or should i say Princess?? lol she was great today as we went to see "Horton Hears A Who" which might i add was a great movie that Princess screamed through 1/2 of!! :o) But was still excellent as we did this today.................................. Drug her into the mall to see the Easter Bunny then to Build-A-Bear where I made a "Happy Chick" which is really cute!! Then we went to Chuck E. Cheese! Then to the movies and she had no nap which explains why we had to "pay" for it during the movie..... Oh and did i mention we also went to Target 1 of my favorite stores!!! We will be in Disney in 2 weeks today!!!!!!!!

By the way if anyone could help me to learn how to link websites in posts it would be GREATLY appreciated!! I am still half clueless in the blogger world!!

Favorite Photo Friday

This is a photo from 2 weeks or so when Bobbi and Maddie were visiting!!
Today since we are out of school we are going to the mall and taking Anna Grace to see the Easter Bunny!!!!! I am so excited and can't wait to see what she think! WOW life has changed SO much since our little miracle was placed into our arms!! It is amazing! I will post pictures later today (try my absolute best) We also will have to take my iPod back b/c we reset it and now it will NOT turn on! If you have any suggestions of how it might could be fixed i would love to know!!! Hope you have a great Friday and Happy Easter!!

Anna Grace's 1/2 Pigtails

Today I was dressing Anna Grace and I decided to play with her hair- I was just playing and put two half pigtails in her hair it is sort of cute but she is not wearing them anywhere b/c they seem uncomfortable to her- I just thought i would share a collage of the 2 decent pix i took- these pictures are awful but i figured i would share- Happy St. Patricks Day!!!!

Bathing Beauty

My Mom has been trying bathing suits on Anna Grace to get ready for our Disney trip. She is really enjoying it. I think she looks so sweet in this ladybug suit that Kellie gave her. I love her expressions !! We put some flip flops on her and she thought she was "Hot Stuff" She was stomping around the house and if we tried to take them off she would say in a very sweet innocent voice "No No Dissy" It was so cute!!! To make some people laugh I put a picture of Hayne in Anna Grace's sunglasses and hat!! He thought he looked so cool one day he will be upset I put this on the internet but for now he is thrilled!! I hope you all have a great weekend! We are going to stay busy w/ "Why" since we have 1 show tonight at 6 and 2 shows tomorrow at 3:00 and 6:30-- In 3 weeks we will be in Disney World!
