The Longest Birthday Ever

Ok...what kind of mom would I be if I didn't post at least a few pics of Georgia's super late 2nd birthday party on my blog?

Georgia's birthday was March 5. We had some gifts and cupcakes on her birthday with the anticipation of a family gathering party on the 12th. However, we ended up in the hospital with Lola on March 7 and weren't released until the 14th. So...Georgia got birthday gifts all thru March and April as people were able to come see us and we finally had a party in May. So now anytime someone gives her a gift, she thinks it's her birthday. She even sings, "Happy birthday to me!" I have no idea how to explain this one to her.

Anyway, here are some pics from her little party at my mom's a few weeks ago. It was a fun day with lots of her cousins, cake and presents.


And here is a short video clip of Georgia dictating to me which present she would like to open next.

Pain in the Grill

I understand lots of people have this issue. It's so annoying. Every time we try to grill Andy has to clean out a bird nest. And they just don't learn! Andy cleans it out and they just keep building over and over again. I'm sure there is a nice nest in our grill right now since Andy has been out of town. I'm really worried that one day we'll have grilled baby birds for supper.

Mother's Day

Uhhh...yeah. I'm a little behind. May has been a crazy busy month; however, I've been taking pics as things come up and though I haven't had time to blog about them when they happen, I do plan to play catch up and share all that is going on.

For example, Mother's Day was over two weeks ago. In honor of the holiday, I attempted to do a (first ever) craft project with Georgia. She kept calling it, "a pah-jet, Mom." Yes, honey, we're doing a project. And though I did most of the work, she really did enjoy it. I found this little craft in my Mom Sense magazine that I get through MOPS. It's a little hanging flower basket. We decided to make one for Nana and Granny since we'd be seeing them both around Mother's Day. Here are some pics and video of the day we made Nana's. Georgia was really proud of her (my) handiwork.







And then this is a picture of my two little punkins and me on Mother's Day. It's a sweet world.

Three Months

Time sure is flying by. Here is Lola Sue at three months old. My mom gave her a new nickname - Happy Fatty. I think it fits. :)

No Jesus

Georgia asks me multiple times a day to sing songs from three of her favorite movies. If she says, "Sing Ariel, Mom," that means Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid. "Sing Belle, Mom" is Beauty and the Beast and "Sing 'Rella, Mom" is A Dream is a Wish from Cinderella. I'm supposed to sing the songs and she sings along. She's really getting to know the words quite well.

Yesterday after about three or four rounds of Ariel, Belle and 'Rella I was getting a little sick of the princesses. I suggested Jesus Loves Me, knowing that they sing it in her Sunday school class. After just a few words, Georgia shouted, "Stop!" but I kept going. "Stop, Mom, stop!" So I stopped and just looked at her. "No Jesus, Mom." "You don't want me to sing Jesus Loves Me?" "No Jesus, Mom! No Jesus. Sing Ariel." So I sang Ariel. Again.

No offense, Jesus.
