Happy Birthday Mary Maddox

it was my baby's 3rd birthday on Sunday. i can't believe it has been 3 years! she is so grown up. here is some birthday footage. clearly, i let her pick out her own outfit. this is her new favorite song...buckle my legs. not sure where she got that one from, but it has some intricate dance moves.

oh and please disregard the horrible narrator in the background!

i will post some photos tonight...my camera battery died.

montessori picnic

mm had her end of the year picnic at montessori last week...i can't believe that it has been a whole year. she has learned so much and we are really proud of her.

clearly she had fun too. you may not be able to tell, but she was laughing hysterically with her little friend. he is the only one that comes down from daycare with her to montessori.

here is her sweet teacher miss kelly. her other teacher miss pat couldn't be at the picnic because of a death in the family. i can't believe what these two women have been able to teach mm.

here is mm showing grady her book that she has worked on all year. i love this picture. mm is so proud of what she did and enjoyed showing grady. he will be in the toddler montessori class next year.

isn't this picture sweet.

i think al gore has his priorities mixed up...

he shouldn't be worried about global warming...he should be worried about grady warming or should i say destructing...what am i going to do with this boy?

doesn't she look so sweet and innocent?

not at all like someone that would say "dammit! dammit! grady! don't worry about it, i will get it" after her sweet little brother spills all of his milk on the floor? let's hope this was a one time thing and my almost 3 year old isn't cussing her teachers out!

i have my eyes on...

this...and it would look extra cute with this...

happy birthday anne!

my sweet mother in law celebrated her birthday last week. doesn't she look so young...hard to believe that she has 30 year old twins! thank you anne for all that you do. we will never be able to thank you enough. we love you and hope that you had a wonderful birthday!

should we be worried...

that grady is obsessed with shoes...he won't let us take his shoes off and he is constantly bringing us our shoes to put back on...as you can see below, he even has to wear them to go to sleep.


usually it his his crocs that he likes best, but one night he wanted his red converse high tops on.


so every night before we go to bed, we have to sneak into his room and slip his shoes off his cute little feet and try not to wake him up.

hey...remember me?

hi my name is fiona and i used to post on this blog!

sorry for the lack of post lately...it's been crazy lately. hopefully, i will get back into the swing of things here. i have lots of things to post about, but i will try to spread them out.
