Old Sunday Pics

Here's an old Sunday pics picture from a couple of weeks ago. This is the Dress I bought in Utah. The tag said $19.99 and I was more than giddy to pay that price!! Imagine my sheer delight when I went to the register to pay and it rang up $8.00.

Can you say "SCORE"?!?!?!?!

Here's me and Mac thrown in for good measure. Not sure why Daddy's picture wasn't taken!

Visit From Grandma and Grandpap

Grandma, Grandpap and Molly came for a visit recently. We have lots more pictures that I will post in the next week but here's what was downloaded so far!

Here's the gang....minus Tim, me and Molly!

Don't ya just love the nasty pool backdrop?

This was taken the day they left.

We had lots of fun. We actually had a 2nd Christmas! Bev and Rex brought down this HUGE box full of presents. We've got pics of that to post, I promise-well, not the box, but the presents! haha Bev made Lilah lots of dresses, hats and purses and a duffle bag as well. In fact, she made Lilah's doll 2 matching dresses too! I love having a talented mother in law so I don't have to lear to sew! haha

Happy Easter

It's been a month!

First off, I have to say...it's not my fault!!!! Tim's computer is messed up and we're still not able to download pictures to it and he hasn't had a chance to figure out why. Last night he finally transferred some pictures from his laptop to the computer so hopefully I can get a few posts from those until he fixes his computer!!!

So again, let's recap...

COMPUTER'S FAULT.
NOT Kelly's!!

Can you believe I actually had to wake the kids up Sunday AM. I remember as a child having half of my Easter candy eaten before mom and dad woke up, but I had other issues!! haha

In their defense, though, they went to bed pretty late since we'd gone to Stone Mountain the night before for a picnic and to watch the laser show.

Here's Mac's basket!

Here's Mac checking out his loot!

Here's Lilah's basket!

And here she is checking out her loot.

Side note: My cousin's daughter Jaclyn was visiting from Florida so I fixed her and Tim up a little basket of candy as well. That's the little basket that you see in front of Lilah's.

McG knew he wouldn't have time to chomp on candy, put together Lego's and eat breakfast before he got dressed so he came downstairs all ready for church to save time!!

Here's mommy's basket! Don't be fooled by all of the eggs.

They were EMPTY!!
SERIOUSLY!!!

What the...?????

McGwire got busy right away assembling his Lego's.

Lilah got busy too!

Had to get some Sunday pics in. This time we had a visitor!

Nevermind my haircut please. My stylist's husband just left her for another woman and she took it out on my hair!!
True story!

It's always nice to have someone else with us to work the camera so we can all be in the picture together.

Someone didn't want to leave her candy at home!

Here's me and Jaclyn together!

Note to self: Never stand that close to someone whose face is 17 years younger than yours!!
It ain't a bit flattering!

While the kids were talking to Grandma about what was in their easter baskets, Grandma remembered that she left the kids bags of goodies for Easter in the guest room closet. I totally forgot about it! So the kids rushed upstairs to find an extra Easter treat! Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of that!
'Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

A Day in the Life.....

So often times the question comes up of

"What did you do today"??

Actually, that question never comes up, but for the purpose of today's blog post, let's go ahead and assume that it does!

I had a coughing fit last night that had me awake from the hours of 1:30AM to about 2:45 AM.

Right on cue at 8:00AM I hear Lilah calling MAAA MAAAA!!

I pretend it's just a horrible nightmare but decide to go ahead and get her once she started singing some inaudible lyrics about Taco Bell!

I walk in her room to find this...

...and just like that! My day has been brightened!

Next, we're off on a small adventure to find where McG slept. Sometimes he sleeps in his room, sometimes he sleeps in the guest bedroom.

Last night he chose the guest bedroom.

After a few moments of gentle coaxing (: read hollering and threatening:) McG was out of bed and down for breakfast.

Today's choice was r*ce Crispies for LulahBelle and C0rn P0ps for McG

(not pictured: my breakfast of Reese's peanut butter mini eggs)

After breakfast, little sister surfed daddy's ipad....

...and McG watched his favorite show.

When it was time to start school, McG merrily made his way to the dining room table for the day's lessons.

(and if you believe that, I have some beautiful swamp land to sell you)

McG likes to take many, many...MANY breaks during the day. This "hot cocoa" break was after about 20 mins of school.

Next up was a little trip to WallyWorld

McG did not want to go so it was just me and Lilah!

We got her all stripped down out of her jams and up to the sink to get her hair "did".

Here's the finished product. I realized just last week that her hair is getting long enough for pig tails. She was not a bit happy about having pig tails so I called them puppy ears for a day or two. Now I just ask her if she wants "one" or "two". I don't say one or two what...I just ask one or two and she tells me what she wants!

Now if you don't think that's cute, there's something REALLY wrong with ya!

After our trip to the store, we decide on Taco Bell, mainly because of Lilah's little song this AM.

Here's Lilah's shirt post lunch.

All of Lilah's shirt look like this post lunch!

After lunch comes me and Mac's MOST FAVORITE time of the day...

....Lilah's nap time!

What a BEAUTIFUL site!

Unfortunately, those are the two shortest hours of the day and then she's back up and raring to go!

By the time Lilah wakes up, Daddy strolls in, strips, flops on the bed and takes up where Lilah left off on his ipad!

Yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout you!

Lilah then realizes that McG is outside and she demands to go outside to play as well!

McG then makes his appearance witha friend!

Meanwhile, daddy has reclothed himself and has moved to the living room to surf the internet!

Tonight, like most American families, we are split into two different activities.

McG's hockey team has a pizza/bowling party and our church has an Italian dinner fundraiser/cake auction.

Tim will take McG to his party

I will take Lulah to the fundraiser

Lilah has thoroughly dirtied herself up so we call her in for a bath.

She ain't too happy about it!

Here she is after her bath, a bit happier but still trying to shoot me with her nerf gun!

You can't really tell byt his picture but she has chosen "one" for her hair.

We then call Mac in from playing...just as dirty as Lilah but not crying as hard!

And we're off!!!

I was going to take the camera to the fundraiser but forgot.

I told Tim to take pics at the party with his phone but he forgot.

So.......I got nothin'!

After coming home, I got Lilah and myself dressed for bed.

About 15 mins later, Daddy and Mac are home from their partying as well!

After prayer, it's time for bed!

Tim and I watch a little TV, have a quick gossip session and are off to bedybye!

My coughing attack came a wee bit earlier this time and I was up from about 1130PM to 1215AM

And right on cue, Lilah wakes us up at 8AM yelling:

MAAAA MAAAA
