Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

My Lily Kate is 3 years old, can you believe it???  I sure can't, time has flown.  She is quite growny for her age and she keeps us laughing all the time.  She is a non-stop talker.  Literally.  She talks from the time she wakes up until she falls asleep.  She also loves to sing.  I have videoed her many times singing, and she just might be an entertainer one day.  Here are some pics of her on the 12th, while she was still 2...

I love this pic, Lucy Cullen just adores her big sister.

Not sure if Lucy Cullen is saying shhhhh, or picking her nose.  Could be either!

Ahhh, my sweet girl!!!

I love candid shots.  I think Lucy Cullen was singing...

This is one of my very favorite pics ever of them together!

Lily Kate's birthday was Saturday, and we had her party at Ninnie's church.  The weather was beautiful!  The sun was shining, it was windy, and the kids had a great time playing outside...

Me and the birthday girl!!!

Taylor and the birthday girl!!!

Lily Kate's skirt barely fit in the swing with her!

This girl could swing for hours.  She loved it!

Lily Kate has said for months and months that Hello Kitty was coming to her birthday party.  Well I found a 4' balloon for $20 and decided I would try it out.  I didn't know if it would be a waste of money or not.  It was great  perfect!  Lily Kate squealed when she saw Taylor getting Hello Kitty out of the truck and played non stop with her.  Hello Kitty was an "air walker" balloon, so she just scooted across the grass...

My fave pic from the birthday party...

Taylor played with Hello Kitty just as much as Lily Kate did!!!

 

My sweet little family, including the newest addition of Hello Kitty...

I even got a pic of just the two of us!!!

Me and my sweet Lucy Cullen!!!

 

 Just as the party was starting, Lily Kate started getting a little fussy.  It was no surprise since she woke up early, was too excited to eat breakfast, and was non-stop since we got to the church.  So we got her a plate of food...

and some Dr. Pepper...

That did the trick!  It wasn't long and this birthday girl was back in action!

Some random shots...

Everybody knows that Lily Kate loves "boys".  Here she is with Alex, one of her favorites...

Lucy Cullen ate the entire party.  Even when she was playing she had a chip or piece of pizza in her hand!

Julie dressed perfectly for Lily Kate's Hello Kitty party!

Mimi!!!

Lily Kate's cake...

Taylor almost got her hair and feathers in the candles!!!

She was ready for that 1st piece of cake!

 And she looooooved opening her presents...

This is Lily Kate's new trick...  She calls it a "flip" haha...

 I love this...  Mamaw was swinging!!!

Lily Kate had a great birthday and a great birthday party!  That evening we went to McComb and ate at Applebee's for supper.  Lily Kate was still on cloud 9, and we had them sing Happy Birthday to her.  She wanted them to "do that again"!!!  Thank you Lord for giving us this sweet little Lily Kate, and her sister Lucy Cullen, and this sweet baby in my tummy.  Blessings!!!

Happy Easter!

We had such a wonderful Easter weekend.  We spent lots and lots of time with family and church.  Here is a reminder of my girls last Easter.  Such sweet and cute girlies!!!

Saturday morning Kasey, Anna Beth, and Ava Kate came over and the girls hunted eggs.  They had so much fun and it was so much fun to watch them!

I am so excited because over the weekend I actually got many good pics of Lily Kate!!!  I will admit that there was some bribery going on, but it worked!  Of course I also got good ones of Lucy Cullen, she will sit still for me!

We then headed to Clinton to spend the day with Mimi.  We ate lunch and then went to Mamaw's to hunt eggs.  These girls are egg hunting pros!!!

Lucy Cullen found the golden egg!  But gave it to Julie!

The lake across from Mamaw's house is beautiful.  I always love taking their pic in front of the lake, and these turned out pretty cute!

This is about as good as it gets trying to get them in a pic together...

Mimi had fun with the girls...

Ahhh, a quick pic with my hunny...

It is usually so crazy that I never get pics with Mamaw when we are at her house.  I made sure this time we did though.  Aren't their outfits color coordinated just perfectly!  Lucy Cullen was not in a picture taking mood.  Oh well, it's still memories!!!

We had so much fun in Clinton, and then ate supper at Kyoto's.  YUM.

Easter morning was so much better than Christmas morning, where the girls cried for the first 1 1/2 hours.  They were sick, so I don't blame them!

Here are just a few from Easter morning.  It only took about 2 1/2 minutes and it was a wreck.  Eggs and basket goodies everywhere.  The sunglasses and Hello Kitty cups were their favorites.  Oh, and Lily Kate wanted to wear her robe to church haha!  So funny!

Lily Kate loved her new Bible.  She loves to read the stories and look at the pics...

Off to Ninnie's church and then to Grandmommy's for lunch.  Yep, more pics!!!  Lucy Cullen had fallen asleep on the ride, so she wasn't very happy when we first started taking pics...

But I got more cute ones of Lily Kate!

Lucy Cullen got happy once we pulled out her Easter basket.  She loves it!  Thanks Juju!!!

This is the official family Easter pic of 1013...

Grandmommy with Lily Kate...

and with Lucy Cullen...

 Then it was time for our last stop, at Ninnie and Poppy's.  These 4 kids had fun...

 I will leave you with a sweet sister pic.  Easter toes!!!  This is the first time Lucy Cullen has had her toenails painted, and she loved it.  She had to show everybody...

Happy Easter!  Remember, HE IS RISEN!  He is alive today, for you and for me!!!  Thank you Jesus!
