Pearly Whites

Simms and I had our 6 month cleanings today. Happy to get a NO CAVITIES report for both of us. My pretty girl was so big while I had my teeth cleaned. I couldn't believe she sat there so quietly. I think it was a combination of anticipating her turn in the chair, trying to be good so she could get Zaxbys afterwards and being shy in public anyway. Our hygienist asked her if she was always that quite. Ummm, that would be a NO!

What a smile!

Very unsure at first.

Stubborn girl didn't want sunglasses

Cleaning away..

Happy to be done, to get a great report and loving her hot pink glittered dentist kit filled with fun stuff!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We woke up to lots of Valentine love..and BALLOONS! I love balloons at Valentines..obviously..

I really think they were overwhelmed by the size of the balloons. Perhaps even scared..oops

Bubby got two new trains, or choo choos as he calls them..

He quickly put them on the counter to play with instead of his train table..

My sweet girl all ready for her Valentine celebration at school, complete with wrist bands that came with her fairy that she insisted on wearing..

With all of her treats for her class..

And back home again with all of her Valentines..

And this made someone very happy..he loves candy..I have already had to hide it. I don't have this problem with Simms, because she hates candy. Not Cope. Here he is enjoying a sucker, still in his jammies..

And NO..you aren't seeing things..Daddy Scissorhands got ahold of Cope's hair again. I'll say what you are thinking, "Leave the curls alone Dru!" There. Now maybe that will help me next time. I doubt it. And here is Simms' masterpiece that she has been working on for Daddy all week. She adds a few things each day. Cope contributed too..

Happy Heart Day!

Mae Mae's Birthday Brunch

We helped Mae Mae celebrate turning 2 at a delicious brunch Saturday morning. I didn't get nearly enough pictures of the birthday girl {try 2} as I was chasing my own two around, but we all had a wonderful time at this sweet girl's party!

The Beautiful Birthday Girl!

And some of those celebrating with her..

The birthday girl became a little bashful when we sang to her..

The cake was delicious and enjoyed by lots of little mouths..

One certain fella enjoyed it more than the others I think..

It was a special morning for a special girl! After the party ended, we hung around so that Simms could do what she's been asking to do since Christmas..drive Bennett's 4-wheeler. Now I wasn't quite ready for this, but Dru was more than willing to ride with her and teach her how to do it..

Cope assumed as long as he found himself a helmet, he'd get a turn too..

Bennett was more than willing to take Cope for a ride. I had to put my foot down though and say no. Poor Cope..

We had a great time with you Mary Margaret! Happy 2nd Birthday!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Mary Margaret!

Oh sweet Mae Mae turns 2 today! We met her in the preschool parking lot this morning with a big ole' Mickey & Minnie balloon, a card, and a chocolate sprinkled doughnut. After a quick party in the parking lot, Simms and Bennett headed in to preschool and Cope and Mae Mae played for a little while before she had to head to the doctor. Yep..she wasn't feeling good on her birthday, poor thing! I know she'll be feeling great for her party Saturday morning though! Happy Birthday sweet little one.

February 2, 2012~2 years old!

Some things about Mae Mae: She is rarely ever called Mary Margaret, she is very dainty and prissy, she loves the outside too, she is a little mommy...

February 2, 2011~1 year old!

She is a sensitive one, she is kind of fearful of Cope, she loves Simms SO much..

February 2, 2010~The day you were born!

She is super smart with an incredible vocabulary, she LOVES her mommy, her daddy and her brother, and they love her! She is an answered prayer! We love you Mae Mae and hope you have the best birthday ever!

Here is my favorite picture from her party last year:

Oh..and I think this child looks more like me than my own daughter! Anyone agree?
