First Dip and Flower Girl Dress Shopping

I remember being younger and wanting to get into my Grammy's pool so bad that Dani and I would just jump in for the first time and freeze.  We didn't want to have to get out so with quivering lips we would tell my mom that it felt good and we weren't cold! 

As we were outside Saturday, it was so nice out and humid that Landry decided she wanted to get into the pool.  We changed her into her new princess bathing suit and let her just play in my parents hot tub for a while.  She loved it, and thought it was her very own baby pool! 

Tim put his swimsuit on and jumped in to play with her.

She loved it for all of two minutes until daddy dunked her!

 We start swim lessons in two weeks!

Sunday, we went to look at flower girl dresses for Dani's wedding.

 We made the mistake of taking her right at naptime, so she did good for like the first two dresses and then about lost it.

 Dani then proceeded to give her a sucker and we were gone!

I think we will be taking her back next weekend way before naptime!

Ramblings

Lately, I feel as if our little family is going non-stop!

I love this time of year though and all that it brings.

Saturday, we went to Grapevine for Main St. Days and Landry went to her first petting zoo.

She wasn't as excited as I thought she would be and didn't want to go near the goats

She did however, want to ride the kids train they had

I thought the wagon was a great idea because it was open and she could get out as she pleased,

Wrong!  First she wanted to ride and all was well, but then when we let her out she didn't want to get back in and screamed and then wanted to help pull it.  

Needless to say, we will be sticking with the stroller for a while longer!

This girl takes after her momma!

She hasn't met a ride she didn't love!

Playing in the grass

Sunday morning as I was getting ready Tim gave Landry a bath and then brought her into our bathroom to blow-dry her hair. 

I had never seen him do this before and thought it was so cute.

He put a towel around her like she was at the beauty shop!

Sunday for lunch, the Boozer's came over and we lost Brady and Landry right after to the playroom.

Landry loves Brady Boozer and just follows him everywhere!

(Yes, she wears that bucket as a hat)

We are still loving gymnastics on Tuesday nights and this week, they got to play with bubbles after class

Last night, we had a shower for Amanda in our Sunday school class and I got to hold sweet Parker and feed him while she opened presents. 

Ugh, he is so cute!

I just love babies!

My Sister

Almost 26 years ago, I was blessed with Dani Lynn.

She is by far one of the best people I know.

Some facts about Dani:

1. She loves her family

2. She is getting married in less than 4 months!

3. She is crazy about my daughter and has been since the day I told her I was pregnant

4. She is so giving and buys Landry stuff all the time

(this is her "cheese" face)

5. She is marrying a great guy

6. She graduated Thursday!

I could not be more proud of her and all that she is going to accomplish.

Congrats Boo, I love you!
I must say, for a 2 year old my daughter did really good at the two and a half hour ceremony!
She did have some help though with my Grammy and Mom there

 

Mother's Day Weekend

I was blessed 2 years and 3 months ago with Landry Kate Smith.

Over these past 2 years, she has taught me a lot about what being a mom means.

I do not take a minute I have with her for granted.

Thank you Landry for teaching me how to be humble, patient, loving and what it truly means to see Jesus through another persons eyes.

 Saturday night, we cooked Debbie a feast!

I made lobster for the first time!
I let Debbie enjoy her time with Landry and she wanted to play outside and swing.

Sunday, we spent the day with my mom.

Landry loves to help Mimi put on her make-up

3 generations of girls!

Seeing this picture makes me miss my Maw-Maw.

She went to be with Jesus almost 9 years ago so this day is bittersweet for us.

We miss her.

My dad and his mom

Sunday night we took mom out to a hibachi dinner.

My momma loves her hibachi!

My mom and her girls

I love this little girl and I am so thankful for her!

Random post

This has to be the most random post ever.
Here are just a few pictures I have taken over the past week

Me and my girl!

My mom and I went to a Cinco De Mayo party last night.
I love having an excuse to dress up!

I have been meaning to blog about this for the past couple of weeks.

I've had the hardest time cooking dinner with Landry lately.

All she wants to do is hang on me and it is so hard to cook!

I came up with the idea to have her help me, that way she felt important and I got my dinner done.

We have this ottoman and she pulls it over to the counter when I start dinner and then she helps me pour the ingredients and usually ends up pulling all the utensils out, but at least it occupy's her!

Here are me and my future chef discussing how to make the rice

I found the cutest idea for my mom and Tim's mom for Mother's day for Landry to make.

I'll make sure and show the final product once it is finished!

Ever since Landry was little, she has loved watching Tim mow.

She runs to the window and will just stare and give me a play by play of where daddy is in the yard

That's about it.

I can't wait to spend the weekend with all the moms that mean the most to me and to be thankful that I am a blessed momma as well!

The next Shawn Johnson?

Tuesday, Landry started gymnastics classes!

She has been learning how to do rolls and loved it,

so I knew gymnastics would be the perfect sport to start her on!

Here we are waiting to go inside

I just love her little ponytail!

And her cute little new leotard!

I got to participate and help her do all the events.

There was a mini trampoline, a balance beam, floor mats to show off her rolling skills and a tube that they could crawl through.  The cute little teenage instructor told me Landry did really well!

Afterwards, she got a stamp on her hand of Elmo.

She was greatly upset when Elmo came off in the bathtub that night!
