Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to you and your family!

"The Greatest Show on Earth"

And "The Greatest Show on Earth" it truely was! Weekend before last Kevin, myself, Paisley, Whitney, Charlie, Tucker, Reed, Me-Maw and Paw-Paw packed up and headed to Hampton to see the circus! It was loads of fun for us all! I never imagined that it would hold Paisley's attention the entire time BUT it certainly did, she sang and clapped the entire time. Her favorite things were the clowns and the elephants! We bought a program and she is still looking at it daily kissing every clown on the clown page each time...LOL! We also bought the $9 lemonade and the $22 light toy...WOW is all I could say! Tucker enjoyed every minute of it as well and even took his program to "show and tell" at school while Reed fell asleep before it was over! We all had such a wonderful time. Me-Maw and Paw-Paw with Tucker, Paisley and Reed!

Clapping to the music...try not to look at my face as I was laughing hysterically at Paisley!

Lil Miss is 21 months old (04/11/11)

My "Lil Miss P" is 21 months old and is something else! She truly amazes us with something new every day! In the past few weeks I have really noticed that she is putting 3 and 4 word sentences together. Here's a cute little story...Monday night Paisley and I were eating dinner since Kevin was working and I burped. She turned and looked at me and said "Xuse You Mommy"...I nearly spit my food out! It cracked me up! She is so smart I thought and us using manners with her is really paying off! She also says "Bless You 'name'" when someone sneezes and then when she wants help she'll say "Help me please"! Of course with Paisley being my first, everything she does is a BIG deal BUT I never realized that she would be this smart at this age. She is also really getting the hang of the potty training, I haven't really pushed it but she is telling us some when she needs to pee-pee or poop and will go to her potty and sit until we come! So we are going to start working very hard on this (this will require more grown up effort than her effort I think). Remembering to ask her every 20-30 minutes is going to be the kicker! Hope to share our March fun in another post as well as our circus trip pictures from this past weekend. We have been so busy lately, both at work and home, that I haven't had much time for the computer! Paisley-21 months old playing with her " elephant light" toy from her very 1st circus
