Easter pictures - Ready for church!

Probably the only picture that anyone will find of me 36-weeks pregnant! I figured it was mandatory on Easter.

More birthday - Family party

Yes, I realize this party was almost 2 weeks ago and I am just now getting around to posting these pictures...better late than never, right?

Genna was SO EXCITED about sharing her birthday with Grandaddy this year. Hers is March 23rd and his is March 31st. We had already had a little party with friends, but we still wanted to have one with our family that she could share with her Grandaddy. Memama and Grandaddy were there, as well as Grandma Judy, Aunt Anda, Uncle Kevin, Charlie and Mary Frances. We had a great time visiting with everyone and were very sad to see them go home.

Here is the birthday boy and girl before their party...

Grandaddy with all of his grandchildren...it's very hard to get a really good picture of all of them.

Genna declared that her favorite color was purple and Grandaddy's was yellow, so the cake had both colors of icing.

Birthday at the park

Yesterday was Genna's 3rd birthday. Since we are so close to baby brother's arrival and it is tax season, I had decided that we were just going to have a family birthday party this year. I changed my plans when I realized just how excited Genna was about her birthday this year. For the past 2 years, I don't even think she knew that it was even a special day even though we had parties, but THIS year, she has been talking about it for over a month! She told me that she wanted a purple cake with Peter Pan (I figured Tinkerbell was close enough) and that her friends would sing Happy Birthday and she would blow out candles. So, we decided to have a small get-together with our friends from our Monday morning Bible study at the park on her actual birthday. She loved it!
Here she is waiting to blow out her candles...

Obviously, blowing out the candles...

Baby Shelby, the youngest friend at the party...

Apparently, Genna only liked the purple icing...

Trying to get a good picture of the birthday girl....it didn't exactly happen.

After naps, we played outside and ate more purple cupcakes with our neighbors. They were in school during the earlier party.

Happy Birthday to Genna!

My sweet baby girl is 3 years old today! I can't believe it! Here is a little flashback from the day she was born. More pictures to come later in the week of her birthday party at the park today.

Playing dress-up

Last week, Andrea, Charlie and Mary Frances came to visit for a couple of days. Since Genna only has one Cinderella dress, they brought their dress-up clothes to play. Even though the girls had several princess dresses, they still insisted on being Superman and a Power Ranger. Charlie is somebody from Star Wars (his favorite right now).

Genna running through the house as Superman...I don't know who told her to hold her arm like that, but isn't that how Superman flies???

This is Genna as the blue Power Ranger...they loved wearing that mask!

Superman Mary Frances...

Snowy Sunday

Genna, what do you see out there??? SNOW!!!

Yes, it's March 1 in Alabama and we woke up to snow! It's actually still snowing as I write this. We went ahead pretty early to play in it. Last year, we kept waiting for it to quit, and it ended up raining and all melting away before we could go outside, so we were not going to miss the opportunity this year!

Trying to gather enough snow for a snowman...

They finally decided it would be easier to build a snowman using the snow on the deck that did not have leaves and pine straw in it.

Here is Genna trying to catch snow on her tongue...


Genna and Daddy with their snowman...

Since Mama couldn't play outside (at 30 weeks pregnant, my balance is not what it should be!), they decided it would be fun to throw snowballs at me (or at the screen door).
