Poor Mommy...

Well today was an interesting day. I started the day out (with help from my mom) headed to the dentist for Madi's first dentist visit (pics to come soon). It went very well and she did great, it just started off bad. When we got there it was cool so my mom & Madi hurried on in and I was getting the stroller out to put Grayson in (still in her car seat though). I pulled the stroller up to the side of the car just like I always do, reach in to get Graci out (who I must say is getting VERY heavy); once I lift the seat out of the base I started to back up (like I always do a couple of steps and then pop her in the stroller) and unfortunately I must have pulled the stroller up to far and tripped over the tire. Well there we went. I fell, and I fell hard. There was a truck parked right next to us and the impact was at my lower back (around the kidney area) against the running boards sticking out on the truck. Once my back hit my head slung back into the truck also, and then I was down. I just sat there for a second thinking to myself "this really just did not happen" and then quickly looked at Grayson who is still raised up as if I was still lifting her out and she looked at me and gave me a little grin. I did the best I could and put her beside me and untangled myself from the stroller (ans quickly looked to see if anyone witnessed this) and got up. Well, tonight is much worse. I am hurting really bad where my back hit but it has started hurting all the way across my lower back... I probably will not be able to move tomorrow!! I hurt just sitting here typing this. Anyway, say a little prayer that my back is okay and I did not hurt myself to bad and that maybe I will be able to move tomorrow...

Had to share a pic of the girls playing in the yard when it was so warm last week; this is Grayson's first time to swing (have not uploaded dentist pics yet, I will share those soon...)

 

Play date with Bree...

We had a play date today with Miss Bree. My best friend of 15 years and had Bree just 4 weeks after Grayson was born. We had the best time today hanging out and letting the girls play. Here are a few of the two of them hanging out...

 

 

 

And of course I had to have a little fun with my camera...

 

 

 

Aren't they the cutest!!

Art time...

 

New Year's Tradition...

This is a late post, but still wanted to share. We started a fun tradition to bring in the new year. We all decided to eat "a-la-carte" and each choose what we wanted for dinner on New Years Eve night and so we headed to Target. Madi wanted "brown ice cream" and that is what she had for dinner!! We wanted different yummy appetizers and chips and salsa (the chips and salsa is the BEST I have ever had!). Now of course, Madi does not normally get to have ice cream for dinner, but this is something we will do every year and it will be fun great memories that we will never forget...
Graci said she would just be cute for dinner...

Madi is soooo enjoying her brown ice cream...

Our yummy dinner...

Beautiful eyes...

Celine...

We were invited to go see Celine Dion with our good friends Melanie & Donnie last week. It was a great show. It has to be alot like her Vegas show because it had a lot of dancers, we had so much fun! Thanks guys for inviting us to go with you!! Here a few pics that Donnie was able to take...

 

Lake Guntersville day trip...

At then end of the year we took the girls to Lake Guntersville so Madi could fish with her new fishing rod. It was beautiful that day and we had such a good time. We had a picnic, Jeremy & Madi fished (no luck though), Graci & I snuggled on the tailgate watching Jeremy & Madi, and we saw thousands of duck (literally!). We ended the day up at Bucks Pocket playing on the river and walking around. It was a great family fun day!!

Yumminess...

Little ballerina...

Madi started dance yesterday!! She was so excited about it, she loves her "dancin slippers". She did really well for her first day. The class is one day a week and she learns the ballet through animal names. It is really cute and she loves it. Isn't she cute in her little outfit!!

Sweet cheeks...

Five months old!

Sweet cheeks is five months today! It is so hard to believe that five months have already passed. She is an amazing little girl. She never gets upset and smiles and talks all the time! She is doing good practicing sitting up and hopefully she will be sitting up soon! Madi wants to know when she will follow her. I do not think I posted it, but at her 4 month she weighed 14 lbs 12 oz and was 25 inches (about 60th percentile in both). She has been sleeping all night for several weeks now. Our favorite thing that she does right now is her sweet little giggles and belly laughs. Here is her froggy picture, look how much she has grown!!

 

 

Madi playing at the gardens...

This is from a couple of months ago. I had a shoot at the gardens and my parents came with me to help with the girls. Madi sure enjoyed herself, here are a few pics that my dad got of her playing...
