ON CALL NURSE

My sweet nurse, she took such good care of me, even with her eyes closed!

So I am pretty sure that God gave us tonsils and intended on us keeping them because having them taken out super sucks....luckily I had the best "on call nurse" sweet Stella to take care of me, i guess the ginormous bottle of liquid pain medicine and green jello have helped too! My sweet mom has been here all week taking care of me and she has washed every single article of clothing in this house, I am pretty sure that if you have any dirty laundry, bring it over she can wash it up for you! She has been such a huge help, moms always make boo boo's feel better!

Good-bye Tonsils

I have not blogged in over a month, so I have just added a few new pictures as well as some Christmas pictures! This month has flown by I can not believe that Christmas is over...I am ready for some calm relaxing weekend! Please keep you fingers crossed for me tomorrow, I am having my tonsils and Adenoids taken out..I am a little nervous, I have never broken a bone, had any kind of surgery, I have only had 2 cavities..so I am a wimp when it comes to stuff like this, especially since I have to be put to sleep! My mom will be here to help Blaine with the girls, and we will also have Nana and Papaw to help also, I am sure it will be a terrible day but I need to go ahead and have them removed, I think I will be glad I did it in the long run. I guess I will be ringing in the new year with my bottle of liquid pain medicine and a tub of jello! Cheers to that!

Happy Birthday To Reese

Reese turned 2 on the 27th, we were in Jackson for the weekend so we celebrated there, and then had more cake when we got home that night..needless to say we had two tired little girls when we were all done! Reese is having her party in a few weeks but we had to celebrate on her real birthday..i can't believe my baby is 2!!!

Happy Husband

Blaines life is now complete...he finally got a golf cart! and it even has big "off road" tires...he is the happiest boy in Hattiesburg!

Christmas Tyrone Style!!

This was a super cute tent she got from Nana and Papaw at their house
How cute is the kitchen...I am expecting some gourmet breakfast soon
She really liked the piano matt, I think me and Blaine like it more!
My tired little Elf!

We had a great Christmas, the girls got lots of great toys! Santa was definitely good to them, Reese got the Pottery Barn kitchen set, sink, oven, and fridge...she will be opening up a restaurant soon and operating it out her her room!! Stella good some cute clothes and lots of fun things to chew on!

Big Girl Bed

We finally broke down and moved Reese into her "Big Girl Bed." Glen made the bed and it turned out sooo cute, I am still working on the bedding and pillows...it is going to be really cute, and she loves sleeping in her new bed, she really likes it mommy or daddy sleep with her! I guess this means Stella will have to start sleeping in her baby bed now..all my babies are growing up!

Bellegrass Christmas

You really can't see the lights in this picture, but each house had put out 50 lit up bags, it was really pretty!
Stella was not very impressed by the lights or the horses, she wanted a bottle and her swing!
Reese and Daddy on the carriage ride!
Reese said this is what what she wants from Santa....maybe next year!

We had a neighborhood Christmas party a few weeks before Christmas, it was so much fun. All of the house were lit up with lights and they had a horse and buggy rides and carolers. Reese had a great time riding in the buggy, however Stella was cold and not very impressed with the horses! it definitely got us all in the Christmas spirit!

Stella's Christening

This past Sunday we had Stella Christened, it was so fun. My family came from Jackson and my sister Leslie was the godmother, and Blaine's best friend Will Blount is the godfather ( for those of you who know Will Blount, will get a kick out of him being the godfather) anyway, it was so fun and Stella was such a sweet girl. She wore the same christening gown that I wore, as well as my 2 sisters and all 15 of my cousins, the dress is 31 years old, it think that is pretty cool! We had a fun party after the ceremony, we had great food and a yummy cake, I will post some pics of the party later!

GATTITOWN

On the way home, so sleepy!!!
riding the train with mommy!
riding the carousel with daddy

This morning I thought it would be a good idea to go to gattitown, needless to say it was hectic! We had fun, the food was actually pretty good and the building is really nice, it is like a much nicer cleaner chucky cheese! Reese had fun, she rode the train and the carousel. She really like throwing her bowling ball into other peoples bowling lanes! She won 174 tickets(thanks to mom and dad) we had a fun time, she was WORN OUT by the time we got home!

Watch out Martha Stewart

Blaine signed me up to make cupcakes for Reese's halloween party, so I decided to get creative and make kitty cat cupcakes, they were so cute, I hope those little kids were impressed because I do not cook! I did enjoy making these, I used york peppermint patties for the ears and glitter gel icing for the nose and eye's and whiskers, I thought they were too cute!

3 years

I totally forgot to mention that Blaine and I just had our 3 year anniversary, we have done alot in 3 years, got married, built a house, had a baby and then had another baby, I need a break!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

I love this picture of my little fairy!!
Obviously Reese was not interested in having her picture made with her little sister!
I love this cute picture of the back of Reese and Daddy
Reese and her BFF Shelby, I don't think Shelby was too excited about trick or treating!
My sweet pumpkin!!
Reese and Daddy!
Reese and mommy!

We had a fun Halloween, Reese was a fairy and sweet Stella was a pumpkin, Reese was really more interested in plying in the water puddles in front of our house, but she finally caught on to saying trick or treat!

Go Eagles

This was the best picture I could get she is a little active!

We took the girls to the last USM football to tailgate, Reese had so much fun in her cheerleader outfit, it made me so sad because she looked so grown up! I have a feeling we have lots of cheerleading outfits in our future!

The Great Pumpkin

Today Reese had her FIRST school field trip, they went to Mitchell farms in Collins to the pumpkin patch! I was not able to go because I had to work, but Blaine and papaw went with her and she had the best time! All the kids looked so cute, they all wore matching t-shirts that they made at school with painted pumpkins on them, I was so sad I could not be there, but Blaine got tones of pictures! Reese was wild, they played on slides, played in a sand box full of corn kernals, and of course played with pumpkins, but her Favorite part of the day was playing with the big golden retriever, she named Copper( after the fox and the hound) she had a great time, and was totally worn out when she got home!

P.S.- there are some cute new pics of Stella on the next page!!!

3 1/2 MONTHS

My sweet Stella is 14 weeks old, time has flown by! She is such a sweet girl, she is smiling and "talking" up a storm, she is such a good baby! She sleeps from nine at night until six thirty or seven every morning, I could not ask for a better sleeper! She has been such a little joy, she was the best surprise ever!

My Pretty Girls

Here is a cute picture of the girls that we made with the new "Macbook" I am still learning how to use it, but I thought these were too cute not to share! Enjoy!

Happy Birthday to me

So my husband is a fantastic gift giver, he never ceases to amaze me with the cool prizes that he gets me! My birthday was Saturday, Blaine got me the "Macbook" I think it was a push / birthday present, it is sooo neat, but way smarter than me! If anybody knows how to operate one please let me know, I am trying to figure it out, but it is a little over my head! I love it because it is so compact and much thinner than a normal laptop, it is so portable and the best part is now Blaine and I won't have to fight over his laptop anymore!

P.S.-I just realized that I did not mention one thing about the girls..they are super cute and doing great! I will post some pics of them tomorrow.

Working Mama

Let me first start this post by saying that I have been without Internet for the past week, so there are many new posts below...I had lots of catching up to do! As of tomorrow at 8 am I will be a working girl again! I am starting a new job with Hattiesburg Clinic in the OBGYN department! I am really excited about this new chapter, it will be a total change of pace for me, I am used to outside sales jobs and this is going to be alot less stressful than what I have been doing, which I am super excited about! It will be hard leaving my girls, but I am really comfortable with the school they are going to and honestly I am looking forward to getting out of the house everyday and enjoying some "grown-up" conversation! Wish me luck!

Future Andy Warhol

Atleast she picked a color that matched her bow!

Its amazing all of the places that Reese will color BESIDES the paper that we give her use, yesterday she opted for her forehead!

Rainy day

Blaine probably stripped Reese down to her pamper the other day and let her play in all the water puddles in front of our house...she had so much fun but was a huge mess when she got finished! All the good parents were making their kids come inside while it rained, not us we let her run around in the rain picking flowers from other peoples bushes, she stole a rose from our neighbors rose bush, so she a little kleptomaniac and will probably get a cold from playing in the rain, are we great parents or what!

Regression

Reese's pediatrician told us that she might start "regressing" back to some old habits after Stella gets here, well she NEVER took a pacifier when she was a baby and guess what...now that baby sister has one, she wants one! She takes one to bed with her...this is the age where kids are trying to ditch the paci and my child has just now picked up the habit!!!

Sweet Stella

I feel bad that I always have so many post's about Reese and never much about Stella, I guess since she really does not have any tricks yet, here she is doing her best trick!

Teaching her early

Blaine and I decided that Reese needed to start earning her keep around here and start washing dishes...haha just kidding, she is obsessed with washing her hands, so the other morning I go in the kitchen and Blaine has her sitting in the sink playing with soap bubbles, and now all she wants to do is play in the sink...maybe we could throw in a few dishes and let her start practicing!
