Spring is Here!

We spent the weekend working in the yard since it was the first really nice weekend we've had. We replaced all the mulch in the flower beds, got the garden ready and finished burning one of the trees that we lost a few months ago.  Genevieve helped!!

Later Matt took Genevieve outside to play with her Giddy up and Grow Pony before dinner. She likes riding him.......

But, she likes leading him around even more. Sometimes he can get a little rambunctious and wants to go faster than the leader........

Spring Break Fun!

We met my parents in Hilton Head, SC for a few days of R&R. We had lots of fun at the beach, daddy played golf with Papa and we all took a bike ride and saw lots of alligators sunning themselves along side the water hazards of the golf course! We really had a nice time but we're home again and it's back to the grind stone!!!!

Hilton Head

We're off to Hilton Head, South Carolina to meet my parents and spend a few days relaxing and playing on the beach. I'll have pics when we return. Have a great week!!!

Hi Everybody!

These are the first pictures of Baby #2. We won't know the sex for 8 more weeks. Matt said that I kept referring to it as a "he" throughout the sonogram. I don't know if that means anything or not. It's safe to say there is a 50/50 chance!

No Mine!!!!

Genevieve fell off of her tricycle this afternoon and got herself one BIG BOOBOO! She was pretty brave about it until I touched it with the washcloth and from then on she put out both hands and said "OUCH, NO MINE"! 

Changing once again..

Please Excuse my need to constantly change the background on this blog. For some reason I can not find the perfect piece of eye candy. I will pick one and love it for a few days but as my mood changes I'll get tired of looking at it once again. I wish I could just create my own? Any suggestions on other background sites. I can't exactly describe what I'm looking for, Hmmm lets say......simple, contemporary, whimsical and retro maybe?

First Day of School! First Day of School!

Today was Genevieve's first day of school! She is going to be finishing out the school year in Ms. Pam's Tuesday/Thursday 2 year old class. Since today was the first day we both took her. We pulled up to the school and got in line with the other Vans and SUV's, retied her shoes, then when a teacher came up to the car to take her into the school we kind of just booted her out and drove off? I don't know about Matt but I felt a little pressured to get out of everyone elses way.....Then we noticed that she wasn't progressing towards the school, we saw the teacher pick her up and then they both waved at us as we were passing the playground to leave. About 5 minutes down the road Matt said "I just got this sickening feeling in my stomach that she's sitting there crying because we just drove off and left her. Come on, when have we ever just stopped the car told her to get out and drove away?". Another minute or two passed and we turned around to go and check on her. To our relief she was doing fine. We could see through the small rectangular window in the classroom door that she was playing and mingling just fine, she never missed a beat........I knew she'd be just fine ;)

Hilton Head

We stopped off in Hilton Head for the Night on our way to North Carolina to visit my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin. We stayed at a Hotel on the beach, the weather was perfect but the water was freezing!! Genevieve and I had fun playing in the sand and letting the water chase us! 

Guitar Hero

I know that I haven't blogged in quite a while but I had to post this picture of Genevieve the little "guitar hero". She saw this yesterday while she was out shopping with Grandma and had to have it. She was such a ham, moving her head side to side, swaying her body back and forth  and singing....she was a Natural!

It's Been a While

Hi there, its been a while. We've been so busy since we returned home from Texas. I know that's not an excuse, its the truth plus my computer contracted a virus right before I left and we haven't had time to fool with it since so my computer access has been limited also. Wow, lots going on! We closed on the house, all of that is final and we're totally moved into Mary's house next door. Its cozy but comfortable. I was trying to study for the GACE I & II tests and help pack/move at the same time. I took both tests last Saturday and I feel pretty good about them. I won't find out my unofficial scores until February 9Th. I start a Post Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program Tomorrow. We will attend class every Saturday for 6 hours, there will be a break in the summer and then when the kids resume school in August we'll continue with a 3 week practicum and then 15 weeks of student teaching. I will be finished December 15Th.
My birthday is Sunday, Matt is taking me to Las Vegas......Part of it is for my birthday and the other part is to partake in some of the builder show. So like I said, "we really have been busy"!
Genevieve is growing like a weed. She is soo tall and her hair is getting long. She's talking alot more than she was at Christmas even. She goes to Little Gym on Fridays with our friends daughter Allyn Marie and that's a good way for her to get out and socialize. I'm ready to get her started in a (pre) Pre-K Program, she's dying to be around other kids.
Well that's all the news I have for now, I'll definitely have some pics when we get back from Vegas!!
