Mother's Day

I woke up on Mother's day to some very beautiful roses! Ashley Ryan also handed me the sweetest card! We went to church and then went over to my mom and dad's house for lunch.

Once we came home, Ashley Ryan took a nap and when she woke up we headed outside to enjoy this weather. We put her in her bathing suit and let her play in the sprinkler. We don't have a kiddie pool yet, so this is it! She loved it. She was all squeals. It was very cute.

I had a great mother's day, as I knew I would. I told David later on that I appreciate all of the nice things he did for me today, but it was really no different than any other day. He always does nice things for me. The little things are what matter. Like helping me clean the house, vaccuum the floors, take out the trash or letting me sleep later than 7 on a Saturday! I am blessed with a great family. I hope all of my mommy friends had a great day. If your not a mommy, I still hope you had a great day! I have attached some pics for you to enjoy.

Time for an Update!!

Sorry I have not been blogging! We have been super busy. David started his new job and he absolutely loves it. I am loving having him at the house every night when I get home too. We get to spend time together with Ashley Ryan like "real family."

I started a sewing class! I am really excited. I had so much fun at my first class. My next class is actually tonight. We are learning to read patterns and will complete a skirt and a shirt when the class is over. I bought a sewing machine last weekend and I have been trying to sew a straight line ever since! It's fun and I guess we will see where it goes. When I finish my first project, I will be sure to post it on here for everyone to see.

Ashley Ryan has been sick. She woke up from her nap Sunday afternoon with a really high temp. I took her to the dr. on Monday and she had strep! Poor thing. She got a penicillin shot and feels much better. She is back to her old self.

This weekend is Brandon Day!! David is thrilled. haha, just kidding. He will be working some really long hours, but I do plan on taking Ashley Ryan and walking around. Check back next week. I hope to have some new pictures frok this weekend to post.

Lots of love!

Daddy's new job!

For those of you who don't know, David was recently promoted at work to Investigator. I am very happy for him. He has been a police officer for many, many years! I have experienced the night shift, the day shift and most of all, my husband having to work every weekend! He now works Monday - Friday from 8 - 5. I could not be happier. I had to snap a few pics of him on his first day on the job as an Investigator. Thank you God for this new opportunity and I pray that you bless his career from this day forward!

Easter Basket!!

Ashley Ryan got her easter basket first thing Sunday morning. She was very excited. It was so cute. I was amazed at how well she did with the easter egg hunting also. She was great at it. We took her to the mayor's easter egg hunt on Thursday night and then she hunted eggs again at my mom's house on Sunday. See below for more of Ashley Ryan's weekend.

Easter Sunday

After church and after we all changed clothes we went to my mom's house for lunch. I got a rare picture of me, my mom, my aunt pat and my sister-in-law and thought I would share.

Easter Weekend!

Ashley Ryan had a big weekend. We saw her grandma and grandpa on Friday. She had a blast. Saturday she spent the day with mommy and daddy. We took her to Crossgates Lake to feed the ducks and then we went to Winner's Circle Park in Flowood and let her play at their nice playground! Here are a few photos from Saturday above.

And the winner is!
