Happy Birthday Mammy!

Happy Birthday to the best Mammy ever! 

We Love You!

just a singin'

I love it that Kinley loves music. She knows more songs that I realize. It seems each day she's belting out another tune. I guess listening to all the kids songs in the car is paying off!

This is her singing the 2nd verse of Jesus loves me. Here's the words

Jesus loves me! He who died,

Heaven's gate to open wide;

He will wash away my sin,

Let His little child come in.

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

The Bible tells me so.

Don't you love the last note!! Hope she didn't get her momma's voice!

This little light of mine. This was right after our cupcake baking earlier in the week so she was really on a sugar high!

I'm so excited because she shares my love of musicals. Her first favorite is Mary Poppins! We watch it almost every day and she has all the songs memorized. It's hysterical.

Here's the lyrics

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Even though the sound of it

Is something quite atrocious

If you say it loud enough

You'll always sound precocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!



27 weeks and cupcakes

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 27 Weeks 4 days

Size of baby: about 2 pounds like the head of a cauliflower

Total Weight Gain: 16 lbs

Maternity Clothes: YES!

Gender: GIRL! Kamryn

Movement: Still pretty active, but starting to slow down in the past 4-5 weeks

Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty good right now. I am so thankful
 

What I miss: Being able to bend and move around easily

Cravings: it's kind of turned from salty to sweet. Hopefully I'll pass my glucose test

Symptoms: Unfortunately I'm experiencing sciatica in this pregnancy worse than I had with Kinley. Any suggestions for relief?

Best Moment this week: Fun thoughts of Kinley and Kamryn playing together! I pray they'll be great friends. Also hearing a good strong heartbeat at my dr appt.

Because I'm prego and craving sweets and I thought it would be fun, today after MDO I asked Kinley if she would like to make cupcakes. Her response was "don't worry momma. I'll help you make the cupcakes"

So, we did. She helped mix the batter, pour it into the pan and even helped ice them! 

I snagged a few pics of the icing!

 Aunt Sherree, the boots are our favorite accessory. Unless we are leaving the house to go somewhere, she's wearing the boots...often on the wrong feet, but at least she's attempting to learn to dress herself!

A few weekends ago, I had the privilege of going with my mom, aunt and grandmother to visit my great-grandma for her 96th birthday! It was such a fun time. Grandma is so spunky for 96. She still lives at home with my uncle. Not sure I want to live to be 96, but if I am I pray I'm as healthy as she.

I love this pic of my mom, great-grandma and aunt!

Snow Days

Just a heads up, this is a boring post. Sorry not much to blog about the last few days.

We've got LOTS of snow at our house. Around 2 feet. So while we're stuck inside here's what we've been doing.

We LOVE play-doh, but it's really hard to remember not to eat it

Crayola Color Wonder markers are fantastic. They only color on the paper. Its a win-win. Kinley gets to color independently and I don't have to clean up marker :)

This is the snow at our house around 9am Wednesday morning

Our counting color mat is fun

tend-like nap time with all our friends

Kinley was playing in her room and then suddenly I didn't hear her, which is usually a sign she's doing something she isn't supposed to be doing. This is what I found. She said "bear had to tee tee"

We had a fun time pulling out pots and pans in the kitchen. Today was pick your plate day and Kinley chose a pan a normally use for cornbread...but we're stuck with each other in the house, so whatever makes her happy also makes momma happy!

When I got the camera she said, "I make a tute (cute) face"

more play-doh time

lots of dress-up

when the snow FINALLY stopped, Daddy decided to shovel the driveway. I'm pretty sure he was tired of being locked in the house with us! ha!

K LOVED the snow! She cried when we had to come inside

We live in the south. This just isn't right! But is was beautiful

 

Now we're hoping it melts quickly!

What's a girl to do?......

...with so much snow?!!
Today is the 5th snow day at our house.  Thankfully the weather was cooperative today so we were able to all get out of the house for a bit. Kinley and I had a little cabin fever. Here's some of our activities this week...
Lounging on the couch in our pjs all day.

 Ring pops make everything better

 we had lots of coloring time

 we've read TONS of books. One of Kinley's favorites is her toddler Bible. It's so sweet to hear her tell the stories to her babies and stuffed animals and her "wo-wo" (that's the pink pillow)

 Daddy got to stay at home with us a few days, so he got in on the coloring fun too!

 girl time...we painting our finger nails and toe nails. Kinley was and still is thrilled about it. She keeps showing us her finger and toes

 dress-up sessions....no one is excluded

 The temperature has just been too cold to play outside until today. Kinley had the best time helping Daddy build a snowman, eating snow and playing on her slide.

 how cute is this hat?! Thanks Jen-Jen!

 Daddy teaching K to eat the snow

 her expression

 spitting it out! "Dat too told Da-Da"

 making snowballs to throw at the dogs

 Gabby the sled dog. She usually doesn't want much to do with the cold, but I think she was a little bored with being inside so much too

 It's Frosty!

 yes his facial features are made of food. It was the best I could find. Gabby was hoping his eyes would fall off!

 My two favorites!

Y'all stay warm!
