Vacation!!

We are back from our vacation!! We all had soo much fun this past week in Hattiesburg and Destin. The girls went on vacation to Grandmama and Granddaddy's house and Wyatt and I enjoyed an adult vacation with friends in Destin.

Julia was jumping off the side with out floaties by the time we got back.


Her newest trick "jumping over Daddy"

Julia discovered she could hold me in the water.

I think she missed him....

Dysin with the shark goggles on......what a cutie!!

After a week at G and G's house she LOVES swimming!!

A BIG thank you to G and G and all the rest of the family that helped out this past week while our girls were there. The girls had the time of their lives and did not want to leave!! Knowing that they were having a blast and being well taken care of made it easier to leave them and enjoy our trip. We had so much fun and can't thank you enough for keeping the girls!!

more pics to come......

What we have been up to........

We headed to the Zoo this morning to check out the new Polar Bears!! It was a quick trip because Julia had school but it was still fun!! The pic below are in reverse order of our trip though the zoo. We started at the polar bears and ended at the Carousel. It was really fun and I am still in shock that Julia rode a pony!!

Carousel Ride!!

Giddy up!!

After a picnic lunch the girls posed on a hog statue....

feeding the goats.....

hugging the goats.....

petting the goats

Pony rides at the zoo!!

I was shocked that Julia did this and it was her idea too!! Maggie said no at first and then after Julia took off on her ride she demanded to go too!!

...a little nervous at first but she loved it!!

They just opened the Polar Bear exhibit here and it is awesome!!

so sweet!!

Under water view....

At home we have been swinging almost everyday!!!

Love my girlies!!

Today is Julia's last day of school and tomorrow we have her picnic to finish out the year. We also went and ......(gasp...sigh...tear rolling down my cheek...)registered for kindergarten this week. It was really more of a screening type of thing but we got to see the school, meet the principal and other staff. I got LOTS of paperwork and was able to go ahead and purchase school supplies. We were very impressed with the school and can't wait to find out who her teacher is and go to open house in August!!

We have been very busy but having a lot of fun!! We are looking forward to coming down south in a few weeks for some fun at the beach and the girls can't wait for their "vacation" at G and G's house.

Enjoy the pics.

To all the hard working Mama's out there......

I love being a Mom to my two girls!! Just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful, loving Mama (and Mimi to my girls) and Wyatt's Mama (Grandmama aka....the best mother-in-law a girl could ask for)!!! Have a great weekend!! I feel so blessed to be their mom.....

No Love like a Mother's Love

There is no love, like a mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.

A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.

God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.

When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,
with God's blessings on each one.

Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love...
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.

What is going on in our world........

Just a little update on the Morris family.........Last week was Julia's spring break so we had play dates and activities to keep us busy since she had no school. The weather is warming up and spring is right around the corner and we are VERY excited about that!! The girls have been able to play outside some and that has been GREAT!! Last week did start with a trip to the doctor for Maggie. Over the weekend I noticed the signs of yet another UTI (her second one in a month) so we headed in and had a cath done to confirm it. Poor baby is NEVER going to want to go to the doc again..... it was confirmed another UTI and she is on her second round of antibiotics (a different one then last time) and she will finish it today!!! Yea! She has been having to take it 3 times a day and that is a pain for me to do and remember as well but we are done with it today!! The doc called me this week and we have decided to do some further testing (ultra sound and another test that has a REALLY long name) that involves a cath. We will have these done on Monday morning and should have the results within 24 -48 hours. Prayers for little Moo Moo on that day would be greatly appreciated. Julia is now a grown up little 5 year old..... She went to her first sleepover at her friend Gracie's house last week and then we had Gracie over for a sleepover at our house. Both of the sleepovers were a success!! Gracie even fell asleep before Julia did when she was at our house!!! I am also starting to wrap my mind around the fact that Julia will be in Kindergarten next year!!!! I still don't know how I feel about her being one of 20something kids with one teacher ALL day.........I know she will love it and the fact that I can walk to the school from my house (it is that close) is comforting.

Have a great week!!

Girls Weekend!!!

We had a girls weekend a few weeks ago and Mimi, Elizabeth, and Libby came to town!! The girls had fun playing (sometimes) and sharing and going to MDO. Libby was able to go to Maggie's class on Friday as a visitor so the big girls were able to have some time without the little ones. Our time just flew by as always and we can't wait to see them again!!

Bath time!!

Snuggles!!

Love that hair!

our attempt at a group shot (minus Elizabeth)

playing with Mimi

Julia LOVES Libby!!

My baby niece!!

What do you suppose Libby Jane is thinking in this one?

As usual we could not have a visit without an illness and Friday Moo spiked a fever for a while but recovered quickly and no one else got sick.......it meant extra snuggles from Mimi and Elizabeth!!!
