TEETH!!!

The kiddies have a NEW babysitter that comes to THEIR house to play with them and they LOVE it! (AND SO DO I!!!)

It is soooooooooo incredibly nice to be able to get up in the mornings, get ready, and just go to work without having to drag the babies out of their beds and cart them all over the place. Thus...these pictures are credit of their 'new babysitter' Ms. Brenda. =)

I love when I get to see pictures of stuff they do when I'm not around.


Well...we discovered that one of the members of our little family got TWO whole new teeth without us even knowing it!

During church (Yes...I WAS paying attention) I happened to lay Macie on my lap where she could face me and play with her feet...blah blah blah...I thought I saw a little white on her top gums so I decided to investigate.

Sure enough, she has what I like to call 'her little vampire teeth.' If you pull her top lip up, you can see her two newest teeth shining away. However, since they're on the outside of the front teeth, she looks like a little vampire...just like Ty did.

Mommy (me) is VERY thankful that she still doesn't have her front teeth...or a bunch of other teeth for that matter.

More later but that's all for now. :)

Wow...this picture looks just like me and Dusty (my brother) when we were little.

This is our little monkey baby and Ryan's new favorite picture of her. She's SO funny, and just smiles all the time.

What a big girl...thinking she can sit up all by herself now.

Something was obviously pretty histerical.

Brother and sister...buddies...playmates...life-long friends.


Thanks for all your faithful comments guys! No...I haven't fallen off the end of the earth and died, but I sure did feel like it.

Last week I took the kids up to mom and dads on my spring break. Little did I know that a lot of people there were very sick with some weird flu-like virus. Dad and mom AND Ty ended up getting it while we were there. I could feel my body trying to get it while there, so I packed the kids up and headed home. I've been trying to fight it off ever since, but it hit me full force Saturday night and I've been down with it every since. I haven't been able to get back to work yet, and I have no days to take off.

PRAY PRAY PRAY that Macie doesn't get it. Ty bounced back pretty quick. Thankfully he's all better. I've been wearing a hospital mask around to keep the germs to myself and try to protect the kids.

I'm going to try to make it around to all my favorite bloggies very soon! Sorry it's been a while. I've been too sick to do anything.

Take the Quiz here!

Karen had this fun quiz posted on her blog, so I took it because I too am easily diverted. :) Thanks Karen. If I were a Jane Austen character I would have wanted to be her. So I was pretty happy with my results. Pride & Prejudice is my FAVORITE movie. *just ask Ryan...or anyone else that knows me for that matter*

I added some things onto the end of the last post, but thought I better add them on here just in case you missed them.

***Thanks to Karen for the idea of the title to the last post! (rolled away) I just laughed and laughed at your comment Karen.****Coming soon...BIG THANKS to Jodi for making an ADORABLE wreath for our bedroom! She's such a sweetie!!! I LOVE IT!***

AND...thanks to one of the area's pastors' wife you gave Macie my favorite funky little outfit. I forgot to mention that in that post. Thanks Brenda! :)

"Rolled Away"

This is my little Macie girl and I on Easter Sunday. :) We tried to doll all up and look our best. I will try to post a closer up picture of her in her dress later. She's just so fun to dress and frill up. I think Macie enjoyed her very FIRST Easter. :)

I just had to post this picture. Macie was originally on the blanket. She's taken to rolling all over the place these days. Once she rolled off the blanket, Ty went and sat behind her to play with her. So I grabbed the camera as fast as I could and snapped a few pics.

REALLY funny happening: When we're at church, we sit Ty on the pew with us mostly and lay a blanket on the floor and let Macie play. This routine has worked for many a service now UNTIL this past Wednesday night when I realized something had gone amuck. When I glanced down to check on Macie, she was no longer on the blanket. She was NO-WHERE for that matter of fact. She had taken off rolling and was already at the feet of the people sitting in the pew behind us who we could now here chuckling. (along with several other viewers watching our family charade)

I literally had to get down and reach as far back as my arms would allow to grab her arm and leg and drag her back into our "family pew zone." Obviously, she felt it was perfectly alright to go a-visiting considering as soon as I put her back in her spot on the blanket she took off again and with three swift rolls had landed right at their feet once again.

At this point, I could her very audible snickering, thus I thought it best to drag her back up and sit her in my lap for the remainder of the service. I think Macie and I are going to have to have a little talk about rolling under pews during church services. (lol)

Thought I would add this pic of the Easter jacket mom bought for Macie to wear. Isn't it adorable?

*Thanks to Karen for the idea of the title to this post!*
