St Patricks Day

We have been going to the St Paddys Day parade in Jackson, MS since my girls were about 7 or 8.  We love it,, its such a fun family day for us and this year we added two to the crew.  This was the 30th year of the parade.. you can read more about it here.    The weather was beautiful and we had a great time.  
Here's just a few pics from our parade day ..

Mals St Paddys Day Parade - 2012

These two little leprechauns have stolen our hearts!! 

My sister,, doesnt she look happy,, ha ha,, she really loves the parade,,

I always get her on video or camera dancing. 

This years theme was "thats what I love about the South".. this of course was a

play on Governor Barbours pardons a few weeks back. 

This is Emmie -- she liked the colorful beads. 

This is Skyelar -- she didnt care one way or the other about the beads 

this year .. Just give her the paci. 

She'll have fun next year for sure. 

Me and my friend Kate from work,,, she did have a green wig on??

She had to find her shades,, the sun was just too bright. 

And Skyelar just gave it up and went to sleep,,  she said to heck with all that stuff. 

My oldest "baby" 

Mel, Emmie and Teenie

This is our corner and our group of people.. we've gathered here the last

several years.  Seem to add a few more to the group every year.  Its always so much fun! 

 ( and this was # 19 on my 26/52 list so ill give that a  "check" ) 

Have    a     great     week !

Candlesticks and bedposts and pics

I've had these four bedposts for over a year now,,



you may remember I posted about them here.  A year later and they are still waiting their turn to be born again into something creative and wonderful.. lol.  I saw Gails post this morning about her candlesticks and now Im thinking these would make some cute, big, chunky candlesticks.  So stay tuned!! 


For now Ill just post some pics from my phone,,, BEWARE.. all about the babies these days.  And we love it.. Blessings from above no doubt. 

sweet sleeping little angels,, they stayed with Meme and Pappy all day on Valentines day,,, and they were sickly too.  It was a long day.. but I loved it.  Me and Pappy both were wore out by the time their mamas got home. 

Visiting great papaw for his birthday,, Happy 68th Birthday daddy.  Love you!  She loves his beard.

Emmie and her baby shades.. I swear the child already knows what a camera is. 

Skyelar with her baby shades one.. Too cute

My baby boy,, not such a baby anymore.  Junior prom in a few weeks,, oh my goodness!

Skyelar was too busy watching the fan to look my way.  Look at her sweet little hair standing up.
