Birthday Boys!

February 2012 107

These two cute boys share the same birthday!  How lucky is Syd to share his birthday with our 1st born nephew!  We had a little family get together to celebrate.  Syd’s mom brought a delicious homemade King Cake.  We usually get a King Cake for Syd’s birthday since it is always Mardi Gras!

Wee Americans

Sarah Beth performed in her program “Wee Americans” with the other Kindergarteners and Pre-School students on Thursday.  It was a very patriotic program.  She did an excellent job!  My cousin Reed also sang “I’m Proud to Be an American”.  It was really touching.

January Happenings

I haven’t posted in a while but we have been busy with the same ole stuff…work and having fun with the kiddos and family! 

This sweet little boy is 13 months now.  He definitely  has my heart!  He is still not walking!  He would rather crawl everywhere and plus he has 2 older sisters that like to hold him!  He LOVES to eat.  He will eat just about anything you put in his mouth!  He went to his 1st “friend” birthday party this month.  His best buddy from daycare, Louis, celebrated his 1st birthday. 

January 2012 003

We helped Ko-Ko celebrate her birthday.  She had lots of help blowing out her candles. 

January 2012 008

Andrew loves his Uncle Scott and Shelby too!

January 2012 013

Sarah Beth celebrated the 100th Day of School in Kindergarten.  She wanted to dress up like a 100 year old lady.  She wore her pj’s, nana’s robe, my slippers, used Pop’s cane and wore some cute glasses. 

January 2012 018

Nana also helped her make a necklace with 100 beads on it. 

January 2012 020

The girls got new bedding from Nana.  Sophie was so excited about her big girl bedding! 

January 2012 009

I took SB to the Miss Vicksburg Pageant.  We met up with Morgan, Mary Katherine, Claire and Claire’s daughter and friend at El Sombrero.  We then all rode to the pageant together.  SB had a great time hanging out with the junior high girls!

January 2012 052

The speech teacher at our school had a daughter, Jeralyn participate in the pageant.  Claire made some cute signs…and Jeralyn won!!  SB wants to go to the Miss Mississippi pageant now!

I think the most exciting news this month was that SB lost her 1st tooth…well teeth!  She lost both of her bottom teeth at the very same time.  She let Syd pull them out.  Her permanent teeth are already coming in so they helped push them out.

January 2012 096

She was so excited to wake up to find that the tooth fairy had made a visit.  She got a 2 dollar bill for each tooth!

Back in Time

Andrew’s Baptism was way back in March.  My camera died that day and I didn’t get very many pictures with my camera.  My sister got several with her camera and I finally got a copy of them just the other day.  I wanted to share these special pictures from Andrew’s special day!  I can’t believe how much my baby boy has grown since then.
