Popsicle Time

0 comments Posted by The James Family at 11:13 AM

Yesterday afternoon while we were waiting on Daddy to get home from work, we were enjoying the nice weather outside and got a little too hot. I thought it might be a nice treat to eat some Popsicles! She really liked them a lot. She ate the red one so fast, I had to get another one. Daddy got home just in time to see her eat the yellow one. I wish you could hear the way she says Popsicle. It is so cute!

She is counting here. She is doing great counting 1 to 10!

Fun at the Burkhalters

Sunday evening after church we went to our friends the Burkhalter's house for a very yummy dinner. Wesley cooked us some tuna, mahi-mahi, and shrimp along with lots of good sides made by Kim. It was delicious! We had a great time with everyone and went home very full! Thank y'all for having us! We love you guys!

Saturday afternoon when we got home, we took Lily Grace to the playground for a little while. She could stay outside all day long I think! She never wants to go in and it is usually a screaming fit when we do.

Swinging with Mommy

Look how high Daddy pushes her in the swing! He didn't realise how high it was until she saw the picture. She loves it though.

Saturday Mother called and said we are on our way to Tuscaloosa, do y'all want to come meet us for lunch? We were planning on spending a Saturday at home all day but we couldn't pass up seeing Grandmommy, MawMaw and Tucker! So we threw some clothes on and headed to T-town. I am so glad we did because we had such a good time. Lily Grace has the funniest personality now and makes us all laugh. She even loves to make Tucker laugh. He just seems to really like spending time with her. They are so sweet together. I hope she loves the new baby as much as she loves him!

How sweet are these next three pictures?!

Baby Shower for Emma Bess

0 comments Posted by The James Family at 10:19 PM

My dear friend Jenn had her baby shower this past Friday night. It was so nice. Little Emma Bess will have lots of pretty clothes to wear when she gets here! We had a great time, especially Lily Grace. Just take a look at the pictures. She was a mess!

She loved the watermelon, strawberries, grapes, and even then onion/ham cheese ball. She ate so much of it, I thought she would end up with a tummy ache!

Lily Grace is practicing for her birthday party coming up this weekend!

I think she really liked this dress for Emma Bess.

She wanted to try it on! HA!

Silly girls

They had so much fun together!

Dinner with the Townsends

0 comments Posted by The James Family at 10:08 PM

Last Wednesday night we met the Townsends for dinner at Tokyo of course! They are about to have a new family member added to their family, Emma Bess. Then after the baby is born they will be moving to Tennessee. This makes us so sad! We love spending time with this sweet, sweet family. And Lily Grace LOVES Eleigh Kaye so much. She talks about her all the time. She says her name so cute, too. Eleigh Kaye is about 7 months older than Lily Grace but they have always played so good together. I wish they could always live close to us so the girls could grow up together. Even their new addition and our baby will be close in age! We will miss them so much when they move. We love you Jon, Jenn, Eleigh Kaye and you too Emma Bess!

We are pretty regulars at Tokyo, as you all know. The sushi man (I need to ask him his name) loves Lily Grace. He always comes and talks to her and gives her some type of little present - flower, umbrella, some toy he has made (last time he even showed her a live little octopus!!!) and this time he made the girls little paper things that spun in the air. They had the best time with something so simple!

Lily Grace thought it was hilarious every time Eleigh Kaye threw hers in the air.

Bows, Bows, Bows

Lily Grace has gotten into where she likes to where as many bows as she can get on her head! Funny and very cute!

Shaken Up!

1 comments Posted by The James Family at 10:34 AM

We experienced a first this morning! At about 5:25 am, Marty was about to leave for work and I was laying in the bed when all of a sudden the bed started shaking along with the whole house! We kinda joked about it being an earthquake and guess what? It was!! It was a 3.8 on the Richter scale! It was very weird though. Actually, Daddy said it was not my first earthquake because there was a pretty big one in Berry when I was a baby but this one I will remember. Also there was another one close to Brent in February but we did not feel that one. Very interesting there has been two in the past few months here! Hope you all have a great day!

Every Princess sleeps in her Crown!

Weston gave Lily Grace a little Easter basket and with the Strawberry Shortcake movie there was a crown. She has worn that crown like crazy! She even HAD to sleep with it during nap time!

Cleaning up the Yard

0 comments Posted by The James Family at 2:08 PM

The other day, I was outside doing some yard work while Lily Grace was playing. She found all these little white styrofoam balls in the yard where the next door neighbor's dog had torn up one of his toys in OUR yard. Ugh!! Anyway, she worked forever picking those things up. For some reason she really enjoyed it. Then I got to wondering where she was putting them all?? And I found this. The she started riding her little four wheeler and you know how styrofoam is, all the ones she had collected started blowing everywhere. She started running after them and then the wind would blow them away from her. She got soooo mad, as you can see in the last picture. It was kinda funny to us though!

Easter Sunday 2009

1 comments Posted by The James Family at 10:34 AM

This is a very long post with many, many pictures! We had the Happiest Easter ever this year! Now that Lily Grace is a little older and understands more of what is going on, it was a blast! She loved it all - hunting for her baskets first thing when she woke up, helping everyone else find their baskets, coloring the eggs, hunting for eggs, eating the eggs, you name it, she loved it! Marty and I truly enjoyed watching her all day experience it.

Good Morning Sunshine! She already found her basket from Grandmommy and Pop, now she is looking for the one from Mommy and Daddy.

I think she found it!

Yea! She found it!

Her basket from Mommy and Daddy

It may be too early in the morning for these!

Grandmommy still gets Mommy a basket...

and of course Daddy, too! We love Easter goodies!

Happy First Easter, Baby Tucker! We love you!

I think he is really excited about it!

Lily Grace loved coloring the eggs. She didn't understand how to just softly drop the eggs in the cups though. She would chunk them in and cause a big colorful splash!
