Fun at the pool

Thanks to our wonderful friend and neighbor Carly, we've been able to get Maggie to the pool this summer! She has become more comfortable and really enjoys it. Maggie pretty much loves doing anything that involves her BFF Milla. : ) Here are some photos from one of our trips to the pool.

2nd Birthday Party

We made it to 2!!! Maggie has grown so much in the past year, talking, walking, 'i love you's', kisses, and it's all gone by too fast... She loves to skip, Ring-Around-The-Rosie, sing, dance, play chase, and jump.

Her Birthday party was a big hit. Almost everyone was able to make it, and it was awesome. :) Thanks again to everyone for coming!!! She had a great time, got some great presents, and had no problem chowing down on that cupcake! Granny & Papa even came all the way from Tyler, TX to be here...such a wonderful surprise! Anywho, here are a few snapshots from the party...they are pretty much all that we have. I usually rely on everyone else to get all the shots (since I'm running around like a madwoman), but not many were taken. :( Scott managed to get good video footage of her blowing out her #2 candle on the cupcake (yes, she actually knew what to do!) and Nana got the rest. Enjoy!

PS: The green stool she's sitting on was handcrafted special by her Papa. Thanks again Papa!!! She loves it and it gives that extra boost that she needed. : )

Easter 2010

Maggie had a fun time searching for eggs around the house...we had a fun time watching. :) After our nap we went outside for photos and some fun in the sun! We blew bubbles with our new Easter bunny bubble wand and then got in our bathing suit for some splashing in the pool. We ate hot dogs outside and played in Daddy's race car. Good times!

Town Green Park

Scott had to work one Saturday a few weeks back, so Maggie & I took a trip to Town Green Park. We strolled along the waterway, visited with the ducks, tried to feed the ducks (Maggie didn't give up her Cheerios all too easy), and walked through the Storybook Maze. That maze is one of the coolest additions to a park I've ever seen...great for small children. We both enjoyed waving at the trolley as it went by and rang the bell for us! : )

23 going on 90

We took a trip to Beaumont to visit Grandpa for his 90th Birthday a few weeks back. According to Grandpa, he's only 23, and "It's not my Birthday!"...he's a leap year baby. ; ) We enjoyed some great stories along with beautiful weather out on the porch. He says, "I never thought I'd live to see my own great grandchildren, and she's almost 2!" Yes Grandpa, that's definitely an accomplishment...something I hope to experience some day. : ) Maggie enjoyed picking up sticks and leaves in the front yard, and going up and down the front porch steps. Here are a few shots from our visit.
