sunday, march 1st

maggie is the "star of the week" this week at school. this is the poster she made that will be hanging in her class. she was so excited. i can't wait till she comes home today so she can tell me how she did on her presentation.

monday, march 2nd

this is billy when i had to wake him up from his nap to go and pick up maggie from school. he must of had his head pressed up against the crib slats. it was red for about 20 mins. poor thing, he was not happy with me taking his picture.

tuesday, march 3rd

well i sure looks like spring around my house. sorry for the blurriness of this picture. i don't have a really good camera for close ups or i don't know how to get close ups on my camera. this is our tree in the front yard and it is in full bloom and is just beautiful!

wednesday, march 4th

billy very busy "working" on this tricycle...

thursday, march 5th

NO PICTURE!!

friday, march 6th

this is very funny to us! billy will NOT let us brush his teeth! he hates it. so i literally i have to sit on him, just like he is sitting on maggie, so i can brush his teeth. this day he thought he was going to brush her teeth. i guess this is what he thinks everyone does when they get their teeth brushed.

saturday, march 6th

cute favors

my friend wendy and i are hosting a baby shower in a couple of weeks and we wanted to do favors to hand out as the guests leave the shower. so here they are!! they turned out SO CUTE!!

we bought scrapbook paper and punched out different sized circles and layered them and added these precious animal stickers. we then hot glued the circles to a peppermint patty, one with the sticker on the front and a plain one on the back.

don't they look so cute all piled up in the crystal bowl?

great for a new little boy!

congratulations amber!

project 365 ~ week 9

sunday, feb 22nd

bath time!! who doesn't love a great bath picture and this one is perfect!! love those smiles. this is a rare occasion in my house. no, not baths. both of them in the same bath tub at the same time! usually joe and i bathe both of them at the same time in different tubs because as you can see if you look closely to the picture, see..... right there... the waves..... it makes for a really BIG mess. i know, i'm mean but i do not like sopping up water after their baths. so, once a week or more like once every two weeks, they get to bathe together and they LOVE it!





monday, feb 23rd

sorry about this picture. not sure what happened but as you can tell it is very dark. we went to eat at the new dickeys bbq in cedar park. they give you free ice cream that you can enjoy after dinner. this is little bill enjoying his.

tuesday, feb 24th

this was a great day! the weather was perfect. as you can see both kids are in shorts. we LOVE warm weather and we are all tired of the cold. the kids were outside in the back yard playing with the sidewalk chalk on the picnic table. they had a blast little did we know though, that in just 2 short days it would be FREEZING again!!

wensday, feb 25th

i love picking up maggie from school each day. as soon as we get home i check her folder to see what she has done for the day/week. last week X was their letter of the week and this is what i found in her take home folder. is this no the cutest idea ever!!!! gotta love those teachers!! thanks ms kendall and ms mary.

thursday, feb 26th

there are those smile again! maggie is giving billy a piggy back ride as best as she can. they did this forever and laughed the whole time!

friday, feb 27th

billy has started telling me that he needs to "poop". now ask me if he goes when we put him on the potty? nope!!! then 20 mins later he leaves us a little surprise in his diaper. so i am thinking that he is kinda getting the concept. so we went and bought him his own little potty. he walked around forever saying "poop, poop, poop".

saturday, feb 28th

these are billys favorite shoes. they are called polliwalks. i actually won these in a giveaway and billy has fell in love with them. they are alligators!!!! go check them out! very cute shoes.

if i only had a brain

it seems that lately i don't have a brain. i have a hard time keeping a train of thought. remembering things, what else.... see what i mean. this week i have NO pictures to post. well, i will say for right now i do not have any pictures to post. it seems that i forgot to put my little card back in my camera after last weeks photos so the pictures that i took this week are not stored on it but are stored inside my camera. and of course i can't find that wire/cable thingie to hook my camera up to my computer. so if i find it i will post my pictures.

man.... i had some good ones this week!

project 365 ~ week 7

ok. i am going to be truthful here. i did not do very well with my picture taking this past week. i really don't even have a good excuse...... i will do better next week. promise!! so with all that said, here are my 3 pictures that i did take.....

sunday, feb 8th

this is what i made for maggie's teachers, ms. kendall and ms. mary. cute huh? they are hand sanitizers that i took the label off of and that put valentine stickers one. i also tied pretty ribbon around the neck of the bottle to give it an extra touch. the smaller bottles were for nanny and bammaw. i wish i could take the credit for this idea but i can't i found it on another blog, she was giving a tutorial on how to make these and i fell in LOVE with them. love them!

this is mag's and her daddy right before they left for the 'desserts with dad' that the do every year at her preschool. they do a craft and then eat ice cream. she loved having a 'date' with dad.

tuesday, feb 10th

maggie and i went to see the dentist, dr. burnett. this is so special to me because this is where i used to work up until the day my water broke with maggie! this was her first teeth cleaning experience and she did great. this is my dear friend nodgie who is cleaning her teeth. thanks nodgie for being so great with her. after she had her teeth cleaned, she had some 'toothbugs' in one of her teeth that dr. burnett took care of and she did wonderful with that also!! thanks dr. b!! your the best!!!
