I also think it may be time for a bigger kids table!!! But look at those cute smiles :-)

Happy Mother's Day Omma, we love you!!

You know what Mother's Day means for me...matching dresses!!! Here we are ready for church looking some pretty, be still my heart!!

Our church has a super cute photo display booth!

Hubby and the girls surprised me with a yummy DQ ice cream cake!

They also got me a gift bags of gifts that make me feel so special it was a great and relaxing day!

And a special hug to all those women out there who may struggle with Mother's Day, I know it can bring so many emotions but know you are thought of XOXO

Being a Mommy is my favorite thing in the world, my girls are my greatest achievement and I am so thankful for them!!



Last Soccer Game & First Day of Pool Season

This was the our first soccer season and we all had a great time! We sure do miss our friends we made, I know Hubby is really missing the kids, he loved coaching them! He is thinking about getting the group together for fall, we will see what happens. Their last game was lots of fun!

Here is coach Daddy and Taylor the morning of their last game!

All the proud parents giving the kiddos high fives after the game!

Daddy Coach gave all the kids a trophy and a little speech, he was so proud of them all! The parents also gifted Daddy Coach with a nice cooler, towel, and gift card!! GO TEAM FREEDOM!

Taylor had this date circled, she was so excited our neighborhood pool opened for the summer!

Taylor the mermaid!

Splish, Splash!!

Taylor living her best life!

Living my best life :-)

Fun pool days ahead!!



Muffins with Mom & Soccer Pizza Party

Last Friday morning, the girls daycare treated all the Moms to some lovely muffins, juice and sweet gifts for Mother's Day, it was so nice!

With my loves!!

With the girl that made me a Mommy XOXO

This All About My Mommy sheet was AWESOME!

Taylor thinks I am 40 and my favorite thing is watching her Ipad :-)

She did get my favorite color!! Love my girl!

I always have a lot of anxiety dropping off the girls in the morning, usually Daddy does it. I have had to walk away from a screaming kid and its SO HARD. But this morning went good! Although she was not smiling she didn't cry when I had to leave, GO COCO!!! Such a big girls!!

I cherish all these sweet gifts, I will keep them forever XOXO

That Friday was also Taylor's last soccer practice so we went to our local pizza place for dinner and ran into Taylor's BFF Arya!

While Taylor was excited to find Arya, Coco was excited to find her sister Avery, she sat there and ate pizza with them!

A fun Friday!! We had a blast hanging out with all the soccer parents, we are really missing all of them!

Yummy pizza!!!



Taylor's Pre K Graduation

Congrats to our Pre K Graduate, Go Taylor!! We are so very proud of our big girl and had a great time celebrating her accomplishment. She has learned so much in PreK, she is writing, knows all her letters and numbers and can do so math!! Her teachers Mrs. Meghan and Mrs. Debbie have been wonderful to her. Here are some pics from her Pre K ceremony that both sets of Grandparents came up to see!

Welcome to Pre K Celebration!

They had the café decorated so cute! That is Julianna's Dad, we pick up our girls at the same time everyday, he is so sweet!

There she is!!

The entire class did such a great job with their performance, they sang, showed us how they did the alphabet, and got this diploma!

Way to go Tay!!!

Proud Grandparents!

Special thanks to Granddaddy, Gigi, Omma and Poppie for making the trip, they came a long way and got in traffic...shocker but made it there to support Taylor!

Gigi and Omma!!

After graduation we headed back to our house for some yummy Honey Baked Ham, so good!!

I was able to use Taylor decorations from her 2nd birthday party again, talk about saving some money..YEAH!!

Our girl at 6 months and then in a cap and gown!!! XOXO

Gigi and Granddaddy headed back to Columbus that afternoon, we are so glad they came up!

I remember the first day Taylor Sara started Discovery Point, she was almost 7 months old and we had just moved from Alpharetta into Cumming, she had been going to a different daycare with Ms. Dora. Ms. Dora LOVED Taylor like her own, I remember the last day Taylor was there Ms. Dora kept giving her hugs and kisses and even a few tears. I kept wondering if this was the right thing. But with our new location this made more since and it was cheaper! But Taylor fit right into DP, she started in the infant room, starting sitting up by herself and crawling. They even potty trained her...I take NO credit. She has made many friends and her teachers love her. She will continue to go to DP so its not the end, it will just be a little different when she starts life as an after schooler. I can't say enough how grateful I am for all her teachers along the way. And how proud I am of her, she was the one I prayed for SO hard and healed my heart after the loss of our first pregnancy. She is my rainbow baby and a light in everyone's life, love ya Tay!!



Bubble Guppies Live

Happy Friday Peeps, finally!! Everyone ready for the weekend, I know I am! I wanted to share with you today a special trip Coco and I went on last week to Athens, we saw Bubble Guppies Live at The Classic Center!

I took a half day off work, got Coco a new Bubble Guppies shirt from Walmart and we headed to Athens!

This was Nicole's first ever live show and we had fabulous seats, 4th row!!

Lots of jumping and dancing around with the Bubble Guppies and of course bubbles came down from the ceiling!

The show had tons a great music, just like the show does!

Shows are always cooler with shades right?!

Dancing to wag your tail!!

I had a great night with my baby girl, she did so great, I was so proud of her!! A special nightXOXO



Kindergarten Registration

Happy Wednesday Friends, its a rainy day here in the peach state, looks like we will be getting rain for the next few days. I get my weather updates from my brother, he is my Chief Meteorologist! He has always loved weather!!

Last week was new territory for us as parents, kindergarten registration! We are all really excited to see what her new school would look like, we loved it, it was huge!

Taylor will be attending Sawnee Elementary this fall, every one was so nice and welcoming to us! There was a line of teachers there to greet us with treats!

They put us in group according to our last night in the café which was really cute! We talked about buses and what they will be  learning in school.

Then Taylor got to go on a tour of a kindergarten classroom and we met her for a guided tour of the school!

We saw the media center, guy, café, clinic and where the busses loaded. Its a great school I can already tell! Taylor was excited about the BIG drums in the music room!! Afterwards we had a cookie and lemonade stand, a fun morning!

After the tour Daddy went to work and Taylor and I had a fun lunch date a the new Chicken Salad Chick location near our house, we had so much fun!! If you live in Cumming, they are l0cated in The Collection!

So proud of Taylor, she has so many big girls things coming up, I know she will do great with all of it!!
