A Parade and a Wedding - Part 2

We had such a great time at the wedding! The girls really enjoyed dancing with (and without) the band and eating the pink (strawberry) wedding cake! They are already making their wish list for what they want when they get married! Watch out Ryan......!!!! But Julia did say that at her wedding she was going to dance with her daddy all night long! So sweet!

The top two pictures are the best attempts that we have of a "family picture" Sure is hard to get all four of us together!

The cutest couple of the night (well, except for the lovely bride and groom)!!!!

A Parade and a Wedding - Part 1

We went to Jackson, MS this past weekend a Lomax family wedding and got to go to the Mal's St. Patty's Parade (3rd largest St Pat's day parade in US!) We had such a good time with the wonderful weather, interesting floats, and the Sweet Potato Queens at the end! Julia and Gracie were on their most adorable behavior and got LOTS of beads!

Sitting on Daddy's shoulder waiting on the parade to start! Kermit (the inflatable balloon version of) was the Grand Marshal!

Waving to the floats trying to get more necklaces!

Look at all of our stash!!!!

Spring Weekend at the Zoo

We took advantage of some early spring weather last weekend and made a day trip to the Memphis Zoo! The girls got to ride the carousel (for the first time there!), saw the new baby giraffe and watched the sea lions perform! All in all it was a great day with some wonderful weather!

Julia posing near the Polar Bear exhibit! She really wanted Gracie to get in with her and to take a picture of them hugging, but Gracie was not as cooperative as Julia wanted her to be! Oh well, maybe next time!!!! :)

Spring Pics!

We went to Pappy's this afternoon for a few Spring pictures! We had such a good time all dressed up in our Minnie Mouse dresses! Gracie was very selective with her smiles, so it was a little harder to get one of the two girls together! Happy Spring everyone (if it ever gets here!)!!!!

Making sure that the little red birdie doesn't get too far away from us!

Sweet Hugs!

Gracie's Second Birthday!

Gracie turned 2 this past weekend and we had a blast with her Minnie Mouse birthday party! The dresses were super cute (thanks Neena!) and the cake was SO good (thanks Ms. Tabitha!!!) and looked great, too!

Getting ready to blow out the candles! The girls all helped, but Gracie sure knew what to do!

Enjoying the cake and ice cream

She loved all of her presents and enjoyed all of the help opening them! She was a pro and didn't need that much help anyway! Happy birthday to the cutest little blonde two-year old we know! You sure do make our life more interesting and you have a mommy, daddy, and BIG sister that love you LOTS!

More Snow Days!

When you get 9 inches of snow in West Tennessee and the temps don't get over 32 degrees, you get FOUR great snow days! Ryan and Julia made a "baby" snowman on day three after the ice had fallen on top of the snow. Not so great for snowman making, therefore the small snowman!

Julia trying to help shovel the snow! She was a good helper, but didn't get too far! :)

Gracie trying to navigate all this snow! It's really hard when you are just 2 1/2 feet tall, but looking so cute!

We got a chance to go sledding on the neighborhood hill on Sunday afternoon! These three were unstoppable!

Snow Day 2010!

We got our first big snow of 2010 and had a great time playing in it! The girls didn't stay too long, but had fun with the sleds at our neighbors house and attempting to have a snowball fight!

How cute are these three!!!!

Trying out our neighbors sled! It's lots of fun when mommy or daddy push me!

Go Julia!

Our Visit to MS!

We came down to Mississippi this past weekend for a quick trip over the long weekend! We had a great time visiting with Granny and Dandaddy and playing with all of their toys! Even though it rained, we had a great time!

We got new purses with our own sunglasses, lipstick, cellphone, play perfume and play nail polish from Granny and Dandaddy. So, of course we had to borrow Mommy's scarf to make sure that we were ALL out Hollywood!

Who you talking to you on your new cell phone, Gracie?

Polar Express!

We took a family fun weekend trip to the Polar Express in Chattanooga last weekend and a wonderful time! Our first stop was to make sure that we got a family picture with Santa in the "Choo Choo hotel." Everyone was so happy to see Santa!

Waiting for to board the train to go to the North Pole on the Polar Express! Cute pic, but Gracie is doing her best "smile" impression! What a silly little girl!

Getting a picture with daddy right before we stopped to see Santa at the North Pole! Gracie is making sure that Daddy smiles by pinching his cheeks! What a fun game!

Telling Santa one more time what we want for Christmas! It's more official when you see him at the North Pole and give him your list there! See you Thursday night Santa-we had a GREAT time on the Polar Express and hope that we get to make it an annual event!

Julia's Fourth Birthday Party!

Julia had her FOURTH birthday party this past weekend and had a great time! We went to Fun Zone with LOTS of inflatable jumpers for the kids to run around and jump in!

Julia with her beautiful Ariel birthday cake!

Sliding down the "jumper slide" with some good friends!

Julia and Gracie enjoying the ice cream and waiting on the cake! Happy birthday sweet Julia! We love you LOTS!

Christmas Parade

We finally got a chance to go out to the downtown Jackson Christmas Parade after being here 3 1/2 years! The weather was a little cold, but just right for a night in December. We started with caroling on the steps of our church in downtown, then walked across the street to watch the parade. The girls loved all the Santas driving the tractor, driving the tow truck, in the firetruck and even the "Little General" (hospital mascot) dressed as Santa! What a great night with some CUTE little girls!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Julia was an Indian princess at Playschool for their Thanksgiving feast! They had a wonderful time listening to the Thanksgiving story and singing all of their CUTE little songs!

Julia enjoying the Thanksgiving feast with her buddies Meredith and Haynes!

Halloween Fairies!

Sorry that this post took over a month to post, but it has been a BUSY fall! Our cute little fairies (Tinkerbell and Rosetta) showed up for Halloween and had a GREAT time trick-or-treating on Northwood!

Gracie (Rosetta) enjoyed her first Halloween where she could walk all by herself! She was such a trooper and pretty much walked the whole trip on Northwood of trick-or-treating!
