100 Years Old!

Happy Birthday Grandmama Lizzie!!!

We love you!

(I love Samuel's face in this picture! I wonder what he's thinking?)


We had a nice birthday party for Grandmama at her house. Family and friends were there to celebrate the occasion. I cannot fathom what it would be like to live to 100, but what a great achievement!

Runny Nose

Abigail has a terrible cold this week and can I just tell you...the girl hates when her nose runs. The past few nights she's been waking up at 2am, 5am....so I can wipe her nose. She now brings the wipe box with her.

The other night she started crying, so I went in to check on her. When I asked what was wrong she said, "mine nose not working." Poor baby couldn't suck her thumb or stick Ellie's tail up her nose.

1. I love when I ask you to do something you reply "Otay mommy" it sounds so cute!

2. I love how you say, "that's mine doll" or "mine drink" instead of My!

3. You would be completely happy eating grits for breakfast everyday!

4. When you get upset with me you start crying "I want daddy," but at 3am you only want mommy!

5. Your favorite saying "I do it" you want to do everything yourself. Miss Independent!

6. You love to wear headbands & bows and guess what...you like to put them in your hair all by yourself.

7. You are so into matching everything. In your world as long as it's the same color, different shades, prints, it matches!!

8. Your favorite colors are purple & pink .

9. You love to sing and get mad at me when I sing with you. A few of your favorite songs are: ABC's, Twinkle, Twinkle & Jesus Loves Me.

10. After we say your prayers at night, I tell you that I love you sooo much...and you reply, I love you to the moon back!

11. Your favorite books are Corduroy and Snow White. We actually read my old "Snow White" book that was given to me in 1977. On average we read it 2-3 times a day.

12. You would watch "Cinderella" over and over if we let you.

13. You are still sleeping in your crib even though you have been climbing out since you were 18 months old.

14. 99.9 % of the time you have an Ellie with you AND you still stick Ellie's tail up your nose and twirl your finger around her trunk while sucking your thumb.

15. You are potty trained!!! You make me so proud everyday!

Conversation

Our conversation on the way to my mom's house this morning.

Samuel: "Mommy, when is the army race?"
Me: "What race are you talking about?"
Samuel: "You know, the one that's on the army base."
Me: "Oh, I'm not sure, you will have to ask daddy."
Samuel: "I think you and daddy are going to hold hands during it like boyfriend-girlfriend and kiss!"
