Big Day In Our Little World...

Anna is growing up so fast! Today was a BIG day for her!!

FIRST:

She slept in her "big-girl" bed for the first time at naptime!



and she slept SOOOOO soundly!



SECOND:

She had her first hair cut!
She went from this:



to this:



and she loved every minute in between!









Thankfully Paula was there to take a few pictures.. thanks Paula!

After bathtime tonight I flipped it under instead of out.. SO CUTE.. but I couldn't get a picture.. I will tomorrow for sure!
It's another mile-marker in Anna's life. It's her first day of "school" (MMO)... I'll be back with a post on that for sure!!

Until then y'all take care!!

Lots to Share!

Hey Blog Stalkers-

I'm sorry I didn't get this post up and running yesterday but with 300+ pictures to upload to my flickr account (that took 4 hours) I had very little time.. so.. here is our week with Zannie and DaddyBen. Photo-style!

Of course every visit to Zannie's house starts out with, ends with and is completely intertwined with visits outside to see Scout (dog) and Miles (cat)! I think it's safe to say that she's obsessed with these two animals!







Anna and I arrived Thursday afternoon just in time to hang out and visit before supper (Aunt Say Say stopped by too)



.. after we ate Anna went out with DaddyBen to see the "hop, hops"... (another routine that cannot be forgotten).



On Friday we had a relaxing morning before heading out to shop. Zannie is teaching Anna how to play Go Fish... or really just to match. Anna loves it!





That afternoon Anna played in her little pool (or near by with Scout and Miles)









She does love Scout and Miles.. but this afternoon she had a couple of other things to entertain her. Little Swimmers:



Zannie found her these adorable little guys that swim all around the pool/tub. Anna LOVED them!!





AND... two 5 gallon buckets and a water pitcher.. who would have thought?





On Sunday we went to the Lake. Some dear friends of our family were nice enough to have ALL of us for a relaxing afternoon/evening!



Of course... for my siblings some of the day was not too relaxing:



Of course they will kill me if I only show the "wakeboard wipeouts".. they were all actually very impressive.



Then our host Mark showed them how to REALLY wakeboard:



Pretty Amazing!

Anna LOVED being on the boat and watching everyone!!











And.. just to keep things real... Little Baby and I were definitely enjoying our relaxing time out in the water!



The entire day was a blast.. thank you Mark and Lee for having us out!!

The rest of our week was also tons of fun! Monday night Nate and his girlfriend Courtney took Anna to Chuck-e-Cheese! Zannie and I tagged along and I got some great photos. Anna LOVED it!!



She wanted to do ALL of the rides/games!! Nate was a trooper to help her do everything!! (She was a bit too small.... but that didn't stop her!)















She had a blast!! Nate and Courtney.. thank you so much for taking Anna... and letting me tag along. GREAT FUN!!!

We ended the week on a sweet note. Ice Cream with Bailey, Maudie, Kennedy, and Klaire



Bailey- it was good to see you.. even if Anna didn't let us get the best visit in!! We'll do it again soon!

Okay.. well I know this post was super, super LONG..

We are now back home and back in our routine of cleaning and laundry:



I'm in my "nesting" stage for sure! I had Casey "helping" me move/rearrange furniture all last night getting ready for this sweet baby! Don't wory "helping" means moving everything to the place I thought it should go =)

I'll be back to let you know all that's happening around here as far as nesting goes. It's exciting (to me anyway)!

SweetWeekend Everyone!!
