A Day

We took Simms to her 2nd A Day game Saturday. Thanks to Dru's dad, we had GREAT seats. Simms was not sure about being inside the stadium. For some reason the clapping terrified her! However, she LOVES Auburn, and once I took her out of the stadium, and on a stroll around campus, she was much happier!


Simms LOVES the bus!


She's one brave little girl to go near Papa's steering wheel!


Sweet little Simms


Simms was thrilled to see so many AU logos, to which she says, "Hey!", as in "War Eagle! Hey!" She was pointing to the stadium here.


A little ice that tasted like sweet tea sure made her feel better!

Here are some pictures of her Sunday, with her new favorite toy:


She tends to get a little overwhelmed with housework, kinda like her mama. Well, I don't fall on the floor, but I don't LOVE doing it.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

April 15 is Daddy's Birthday!

Of all the daddies that there are,
You're the greatest one by far;

And I'm your little girl,
so I should know!

You read to me and play with me,
Sometimes you spend all day with me.

I love you, and I've come to tell you so!

Happy Birthday Daddy! I love you!

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter Day! We spent the early morning watching Simms go through her Easter basket, and then headed to church. The service was great and it is always a good thing when the church is that crowded! We headed to my Meme's after church for a delicious lunch and had a wonderful time spending the day with family! We weren't able to get our picture in front of the flower cross at church, which was something I had wanted to do each year, but we will pick back up with that tradition next year hopefully! Simms had her own plans and they didn't include the camera!

Easter Basket Fun:




Easter Sunday:






Our Family:


How precious is this little fella?



Sweet Cousins:


And just for comparison, Easter last year. Simms is growing up so fast!

Little Bunnies

We took the cousins over to Sissy's mother-in-law's house today to get some pictures of Simms and Bennett in their matching bunny outfits. Neither one of us were brave enough to put them in their Easter outfits for Sunday, although today would have been a great day to take pictures in those too! Of course they never sat still long enough to get a good picture of them together, but oh well! Enjoy!







We hung some eggs in a tree, and as you can see, they were determined to get them!





This is Bennett's other cousin, Adaline. Isn't she precious? She is almost 9 months. She and her mommy walked over on their way to lunch. Adaline and Simms will be in the same class one day!




I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend! I think after tomorrow the weather is supposed to be beautiful. Unfortunately, Saturday I will be stuck in a CPR/First Aid/Heimlich course, along with Sissy and Adaline's mom, Tiffany. I thought it was high time I get responsible and learn those things! Simms has a fun day planned with Daddy! I believe they have a trip to Auburn planned to see Gigi and Papa Doc!



Happy Easter!

Welcome Back Sun..

..Your return has 2 toddlers giddy with excitement! They enjoyed some cheap entertainment today and we plan on enjoying you some more tomorrow at the lake! We know you are scheduled to leave again soon since Rain is making a return visit!










Sadly, Simms had an appointment{with her bed}, but wasn't too thrilled about it:

17 months

Our sweet Simms is 17 months old today! We really enjoy this stage with her~ she is turning into quite the little toddler!! Some days I look at her and it almost takes my breath away at how grown up she is now! I guess it should make me feel better that she STILL drinks a bottle! (Not really, but we are working on it still!) She is so vocal now, and it is such fun for us to try and decide what she is saying, especially when she talks in "Simms Sentences." Some of her new words that she says over and over are balloon, (she loves picking out balloons in the store,) moon, car, Ebbie (Ellie), BB (Bennett).

It is so fun for us to watch her do her "newest" thing, which is to read books out loud. She is so serious when she is reading. Her favorite books are the Karen Katz books, Where is Baby's.... (Birthday cake, Easter Eggs, etc.). She opens up each flap and says, "No"..and then starts babbling her sentences until the last flap, in which she says, "Yay" and begins clapping.

Her eating has gotten much better, but still, some days are MUCH better than others. But we are making improvements!

She is just such a joy to us, and we are so thankful for her little life and the sweet little girl that she is becoming! Happy 17 months Sweet Simms!
