"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

February Fun!

February flew by and now March is almost gone! Here's one big post of pics from February. We did lots of fun stuff in February! And March soon to follow...I hope! Tucker and Paisley enjoy the tunnel tube!

Rocking at Me-MAw and Paw-Paw's just before church!

Pushing Bitty Baby pretending to shop!

Talking to Bitty Baby!

Lots of Great Books! Paisley still LOVES to read whether we read to her or she sit quietly to herself!

Paisley, Tucker and Reed enjoy Valentine's Day surprises!

Lots of outdoor fun in this crazy climate we live in...notice that Paisley has the same stride as her Daddy!

Excited about more Valentine Goodies!

And oh the chocolate lollipop was her favorite!

As you can tell Paisley wasn't worried about my gift...her only concern was that lollipop (not sure why this downloaded so small)!

Paisley and Daddy...she is definately a Daddy's girl!

Having a tea party with her new tea set!

Yes it looks like a mini Christmas by the time everyone brought her Valentine goodies!

Riding her horse just before heading out to a birthday party!

More outside fun with Tucker and Reed! Paisley LOVES to be outside!

Reed and Paisley's 1st time sliding!

Driving Cousin Tucker's John Deere tractor!

Jumping on Cousin Tucker's trampoline! She really had a lot of fun!

Wagon riding!

Aunt Sister even had fun on the trampoline!

Tucker blowed bubbles and Paisley had a ball chasing after them...the pics of her chasing didn't turn out that great so that's why you don't see them.

And last but not least...fun in the Cozy Coupe!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
