Anna playing in her hat and purse Nana brought her....dress up here we come!

Trying to ride a tricycle at Gran's!!

We went to Becca's soccer game last Friday.

Aunt Becca made a shirt for Anna to wear that said "I love #5!" on the front and "That's my Aunt" on the back. Anna proudly sports it at her games now!

St. Patty's Day Race and Festivities!

We attended Columbia's Annual St. Patty's Day in downtown 5 points and had a blast! We started the day out with me running the "Get to the Green" race with my good friend Meagan. Then we all went and watch the parade and Anna loved that! She liked to watch all the mascots roam about and of course she loved the band! After the parade we roamed around and talked to friends that we saw along the way. Anna's favorite part of the day was going to see the bands play on stage!

All done!

To top off an end to a great day, we went and watched Aunt Becca play soccer and their team won! Yay!

Anna clapping for me (I believe I was dancing for some reason or another)

This weekend was fantastic! Not only was the weather was gorgeous, but we got to be out and about and spend time with friends and family all weekend. Saturday morning I went downtown to do a practice run for the race next weekend. The weather was beautiful! Matt and Anna ended up meeting me down there and we went to Uncle Chris' for a visit. Collins and I met up with them and we all decided to do lunch. It was so nice to get to spend time with Uncle Chris!


Out to lunch!

Then Saturday afternoon we headed over to my family's house to meet John David, Marcia, and the boys, along with Jean, Matt, DW for dinner! Anna's cousins are growing fast! We had a good time watching all the different children go this way and that. Anna entertained the adults at the table with her table etiquette (or lack thereof). :)

Sunday we had a busy day of shopping (Anna is currently wearing her 12mo stuff and rapidly heading in to 18mo stuff) so we had to go and pick her up a few new items. Well, we went to the mall and just wasn't impressed with some of the stuff there. They mainly had all summer stuff out and the weather just isn't warm enough yet for shorts. :) So, we headed to babies r us instead and hit the jackpot! I had to STOP myself from buying the place out. They had all Carters sets on sale 50% off....yikes! So, Anna ended up getting a few new dresses, some onesies, a sweater, and a couple pairs of pants. Matt was a trooper the whole shopping experience.....guess he better get used to it! He's now got to deal with TWO girls wanting to go shopping! :)





Our little leprechaun

Then after shopping we attended our normal family night dinner at Matt's parents' house. Matt's brother CJ just got a new motorcycle and he was so excited to show it off. Anna got a chance to sit on the bike. However, Matt strictly stated to CJ....this will be the ONLY time she's ever allowed on a motorcycle...with us and while it's in park! haha




Playing with her plane! She's almost tall enough to sit on it and ride it now!

Sorry about the delay in posting folks! Anna has had a bit of a cold for a couple days. Our sweet girl didn't sleep very well Sunday night...waking up through most of the night and we knew she wasn't feeling well. She loves her sleep just as much as we do and she normally sleeps soundly. She started running a fever about midnight and it was time for baby tylenol. Monday she still didn't feel great and developed a runny nose and congestion. She rested all of Monday afternoon on either myself or her Daddy....she wouldn't let us put her down. She just wanted to snuggle and it was so sweet! She is normally such an active child and for her not to want to be ALL over the place we knew she wasn't feeling well. By yesterday she was back to her old self with just a bit of a runny nose. We are so glad she is feeling better. There is nothing worse than having a sick child whom who isn't old enough to understand what's going on yet. :(

Here is our precious angel who fell asleep while watching "Martha Speaks"

Snuggling with Mommy but obviously still not feeling well

Much better!

Dinner is always fun at our house!
