Crawfish Friday

Last Friday we went to Amy and Robey's house to eat some crawfish. It was the first time that we had the chance to hang out with all of our friends with Harper. It was fun to see everyone and their kids as well. Robey showed Harper her first live crawfish. I do not eat crawfish (ewww) they look like creepy bugs. Fortunately Robey had some hot dogs which made me really happy. I actually didn't get many pictures like I usually do . It was hard chasing Harper and getting pictures. So I thought I would post a few . Aubrey was there and so the girls were able to play. So thanks to the Canaday's for the awesome food and friends.

Dancing Queen

Recently Harper started dancing to music. It cracks me up!!We have a music dvd we play during the day called Silly Songs and she loves it. So here is a small video I was able to get of Harper dancing.

First Easter

Happy First Easter Harper Lynne!

Another first for my sweet little girl. Time is going by so fast. I had to work this weekend as usual and it was hard not to be home to go to church and celebrate the traditional way, but I did spend it with some tiny little miracles which is the best way to spend Easter if not with my own family. I ended up having someone come in early for me at 5 so I could be home for the Warren family Easter egg hunt and dinner. So I can't complain since I was able to be with Harper for her first Easter egg hunt. When I got there we all started hunting, or really mommy and daddy hunted for Harper and Hayes and Holt eagerly searched the yard . Every year Cici and Papa hide money eggs and everyone goes nuts looking for them . So this year Harper's grand total 43 dollars. Not bad for not even knowing what she was doing :). So in her piggy bank we will make her Easter deposit. After the hunt we ate dinner as a family. SO MUCH FOOD, and everything was so good. Aren't holidays the best! So I wanted to post a few pictures of Harper's first Easter. She looked adorable as always in her little pink A-line bunny dress and bunny bow.

Thank you JJ for the Easter bunny.

Hope everyone had a great Easter ! Praise the Lord for such an amazing life we are blessed with. He is risen.

Ducktails and Injured Paws

So we had a minor accident at the house this week. A little drama to keep us on our toes I guess. So on Tuesday Emma went to the groomer like always and spent the day at the SPA.. Not sure if she thinks it is a spa :) But anyways when she got home she wasn't acting like herself so I asked Brad if he thought she needed to go to the vet. All that night she kept us up licking and moving in bed. So the next morning she looked worse. Shaking and tail between her legs, Brad thought she just needed to rest. So after he left for work I started looking her over and figured it out. One of her nails was twisted and hanging off. OH MAN, im a nurse and I was a little grossed out. I called the vet and immediatly took her in. So now picture this , me, Harper and Emma and a random cat all sitting in the vet office. The cat was so funny . He acted like we weren't even in the room, he opened a jar of dog treats and helped himself while we waited on the vet to arrive. So long story short they had to cut it down to the toe and Emma screamed and blood went everywhere. I gasped and Harper started to cry. It was tramatizing to all of us. So she had a little bandage on her foot for a day and she looked so pitiful. Poor girl!! She is still limping and guarded but hopefully soon she will be on the mend. I guess this happened at the groomer and we will no longer be using them. Guess Ill have to find a new one. So here are a few quick pics of our gimpy little Emma..





And on another note, I wanted to post the most adorable picture. I love this little tiny thing we like to call Harper's ducktail. Now that she is actually getting some hair she has this tiny little curl on the back of her head everyday. It is so precious and I LOVE IT.. Cant wait to turn that ducktail into a pigtail. :)

A Giving Baby

So in case everyone was wondering if our dogs have adjusted to having Harper around, I thought I would post you a video. This shows how much they appreciate and love having such a giving baby around! Enjoy

Just for smiles..

This week has been pretty uneventful ! Which is actually nice. Sometimes it seems like we are always so busy that it is nice to have a week of just spending time together. Plus Harper is teething SO BAD this week, I feel really bad for her. She chews hard on toys and then crys and I feel helpless. Im alternating Tylenol and Ibprofen but it never feels like it works that great. Anyways, I hope soon those little teeth pop through and Harper has some relief. We did have a playdate at our house on Tuesday and that was fun. We all met at Lenny's Sub shop in Rockwall and then came to our house to decorate Easter cookies and play. It was a pretty big group for us and all the kids played so good. It was cute to watch. And when it was all over Im pretty sure they all CRASHED for a really good nap. It was so funny because I kept getting text pictures of kids passed out in the car. And the playroom floor was covered with toys. So I am guessing they had fun. So I thought today I would post some fun pictures I have taken over the last two weeks. My phone has about 2,000 pictures, everyone who knows me knows that I always have a camera of some sort. So here are a few of my favorite recent ones.

Dallas Arboretum Day

Today was fun, we went to meet Kymber and Heaton at the Arboretum. It was the first time hang out with Heaton and he is so precious. I can't believe that Harper was that small only 6 months ago. I woke up that morning worried about the weather. It was cold and the wind was blowing 25-35 mph. We went ahead and loaded up to see what the weather was in Dallas and I am so glad we did . It was a little windy but beautiful. Perfect temperature and sunny!! We had a great time, just eating a picnic lunch and walking the park. We took a few pictures and just had some girl time. I love that it's warming up again, I can't wait to take Harper swimming this year. So here are some pictures from the day.

I love Harper's face!



Sweet Baby Heaton!



KISSES..





Lots of Easter Eggs

10 Months Old

How can you be 10 months already?

It's amazing how fast time flies by when you are having so much fun. When I look back over the last 10 months things have changed so much. You were so little and now you look so big to me. Although people tell me you are tiny still.. So where to start is the question? You are doing so much these days I struggle to keep up . Everyday is something new , and Brad and I laugh everyday over something you did. Just today I went to the grocery store and came home and put you in your walker.You were zooming all over the kitchen and every time I looked up you were trying to feed your banana cookie I gave you to Emma.Or lets just say you were sharing which is "OH SO GROSS". But you were giggling every time you gave some to Emma and it cracked me up. So to start you are sleeping really good. Most nights you are in bed somewhere between 7:30 and 8:30 and are up at 6:45 am. And you are always up at 6:45 on the dot. You are like a little alarm clock. So no late sleepers around this house anymore. I think you are playing so hard during the day , you are exhausted at night. Usually we still hear you whine alittle in your bed in the middle of the night , but you put yourself right back to sleep. Eating has changed so much. We now know you just hated baby food. Which we don't really blame you honestly. It is kinda gross. We started feeding you table food in mini form and you love it. I'm amazed everyday how good you eat. Funny how I was so stressed about food a few months ago. Almost anything we put in front of you, you will eat. But we cannot feed you !!! You are MISS INDEPENDENT! I think its a stage and im glad to watch your tiny little fingers feed yourself , although it's always a mess. Your favorites right now are waffles, pancakes, banana cookies, ravioli, and mac n cheese. But you love anything for the most part. Usually what ever we cooked you eat for the day. You are now a pro at walking. You now prefer to walk over crawling and it's so funny to watch you do it. Your just so tiny and wobbly. You are jabbering up a storm. Favorite things to say are Mama and Dada and Dog. You are still singing on your microphone like a rock star. I'm sure before long we will be getting daily concerts. You are still wearing 6-9 months clothes. And you feet are 2 or 3, but always come off right away anyways. You still only have two little teeth. You act like your teething but I can't see anything coming in. Your hair is getting long. It is thin but so soft, and really looks like a mullet. Short in the front and long in the back. Always a party with Harper:) I'm sure soon we will be able to put you in some pig tails . I can't wait! Bath time is still a battle . You hate to sit down and now you try to turn the water on all the time which is so stressful. I am hoping this phase ends soon and soon you will understand the dangers instead of smile at me when I say NO Harper don't turn on that HOT water!! We continue to get your birthday party ready and it will be here before we know it. Next month will be so busy for us , I hope you do well with all the travel. Michael and Kristi's wedding is approaching quickly and we are getting excited. Well Harper we love you so much and can not wait to see what you do this next month. You sure are a happy , sweet girl. We thank God everyday for you. Here are some updated 10 month pictures. I will say it is getting harder each month to slow you down long enough to snap a picture. Im going to have to be creative next month for sure.

This is how most pictures start!! :)
