Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day was just about a perfect day. We spent a quiet and lazy day at home and loved every minute of it. Julia is a blast these days and keeps us cracked up. Her favorite words are, "Oh no!" "Wow!" and she answers in her best Southern draw "Noooooo" to every question that you ask her. We have been walking alot these days and she asks,
"What is that?" to everything that she sees. She points to identify things that we see on our walk such as, "flag, flower, dog, meow, bird, car, etc."

Her vocabulary continues to amaze us! Last week, she said, "Where's that blankie?" and "Where's that Daddy?" It's so funny to hear these brilliant sentences coming out of such a little body!

These pictures are of Julia at her first trip to McDonalds! We came for breakfast and sat in the play area. She would hardly eat because she was so busy trying to turn around and see the play area. She must have asked, "What is that?" at least fifty times before we left!

John took Julia to the John Hayden Smith park one day last week and she found a mud puddle. She was a mess before we left! She took off her shoes and socks and was covered in mud, water, and sweat when we put her in the car! She loves to be outside and doesn't mind a little dirt! I caught her Saturday face down on the carport with her mouth in the mud.....YUCK! She is definitely not a girl who likes to sit around inside the house and drink tea out of porcelain cups!

Typical Julia, strolling the baby upside down around the house in her PJs and rubber boots!

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo at Becca and Neall's. I caught these two pictures late in the evening when the Momma's still want to talk and the babies just want to go home and go to bed! We stayed out so late that night that little miss Julia slept until 10 the next morning!!! Thank goodness for such a great sleeper!

This is the dozer that has been in our front yard for 2 months now. The landscaping work that we are doing is taking forever because of all of this rain!!! Julia has gotten so smitten with the dozer that she says, "Hi Dozie" when we pull up in the driveway and she see it!
