Having fun at the Splash pad. This is one of the places that Maggie said an ugly word. The water turned off and she said, "well, sh*t." Oops.

Ava, Olivia, Madeline, Mac, Maggie, and Caroline.

I love this one. Maggie, Caroline, and Ava.

Uncle Paul, Aunt Betty, Mac, and Maggie

Us visiting the Hoover Dam.

13 weeks pregnant and still no one knows.

This Elvis had a Jersey accent. Strange.

Me and Marla in front of the Bellagio fountains.

Me and Mag hanging, out at the M&M store. We brought home two M&M plates and two M&M cups. I don't think she has eaten off of a regular plate since.

We celebrated Marla's birthday while we were there. Sadly, that was also the day that Michael Jackson died.

ALEXA IS HERE!

Chad and Jessica welcomed their first child into the world. Alexandria Catherine was born on May 29, 2009.

MAC'S 1st BEACH TRIP

My boss let us use his house on Ono Island for the Memorial Day weekend. Maggie had a ball and Mac was just a little angel. I don't recall him crying a single time. We were on the go non-stop. It was exhausting but well worth it. We listened to Toby Mac all the way there and back. The same song over and over, per Maggie's request. It is the one where his little boy is rapping, "True Dog." There was one other song she liked as well, "Marabelle's Sister." She got that name from the lyrics in the song, "the stereo system." Too cute. (May 22-24th, 2009)

Yep, she still rides this way.

Henry is a must see on our list.

We also always have to see the giant tomato/peach. Jury is still out on that one.

I am actually 8 weeks pregnant here. Shhhh, remember, no one knows yet. hehe.

I love his shirt. "Ladies Love Me."

We always have to hit Scoop's.

If there had been one more camel, perhaps it would have given us insight as to what to name baby #3.

No comment needed.

OUR DANCE RECITALS

The Big Day! I have to say that Miss Maggie was fabulous! She had a ball and didn't seem the least little bit nervous. When she came up front to do her solo "twist", the crowd went nuts. She was definitely the cutest little Peppermint Twister ever!

Shannon & I after our dress rehearsal. I was 7 weeks pregnant when we had out recital. Ha!

This was after our celebration dinner at Taco Casa. Where else? I think she got enough stuff.

Maggie's dress rehearsal. Isn't she a little doll?! She was so excited about dancing on the big stage. When they called her group, she just hopped up and went. One thing did confuse her. There was a group dancing to the oldies song, "Big Girls Don't Cry." When they started playing that song, Mag said, "Hey, that's not Fergie!"

MAY 2009

Doing the now infamous hip shake in her new jellies. BTW, new jellies = blisters. (picture date 5/8/09)

It was nursery rhyme day at school and Maggie wanted to be "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."

This is Jessica's baby shower at DeJuana's house. DeJuana, the aunts, and myself were the hostesses. 5/4/09

Bama is wanting to share Maggie's pb&j with her. (picture date 5/3/09)

APRIL 2009

My handsome little boy in his new "boys" hat from Mrs. Stacey.

Little ballerina.

Trying peas and carrots for the first time. Bless his sweet little heart. He never even whined or whimpered. Maggie would have thrown it at us.

All done and happy again.

I decided to be a little creative for the Ladies Tea at church this year.

Circus Day...day 1. She was the cutest little elephant ever! We borrowed this costume from her friend, Jackson. She did get a little warm though. (picture date 4/28/09)

Circus Day...day 2. She went as a clown this time. Much cooler. (picture date 4/29/09)

Little clown doing the hip shake.

Hayden got us tickets to see "Wicked" in Birmingham for my birthday. It was amazing!
