Potty Training!

We haven't really been working hard on potty training, but we are about to start....duh, duh, duh!  So, in honor of my stubborn streak that seems to have been passed on to my sweet little Magpie, here is a fun video of what is in store for the Gaymon family:

My, How Times Have Changed!

When Maggie was an infant, she had a little bit of a colicky phase, and it always seemed that she was EXTREMELY fussy the minute Matt walked in the door.   When he would call during the day, I would promise him that she was having such a great day, and that she was very content.  Then, it would never fail, the minute he walked in the door, the flood gates would open.

Yesterday, I called Matt around 6:00 (He has had to work late this week), and told him that we were unraveling....not that it would change the time he got home, but it just helps to let your spouse know how much you are suffering.=)  Kerri Grace and I have been fighting a cold so by the end of the day, we were both tired of feeling bad.  I think Maggie was really tired of hanging out with the sick girls.  I had started dinner so Maggie decided to test all the bounderies, and Kerri Grace did not want to be put down for a second.  Finally, I had dinner made, and both girls were eating and pretty happy.  So, in walks Daddy!!!  Both girls lit up with complete joy!  They were both done eating in a matter of minutes, were sitting on the floor, silently playing their own individual games, and Matt and I were having a quiet dinner.  Hmmmm....Matt laughed as I explained to him that we really were having kind of a rotten late afternoon.  Oh well.  I will take this over the prior any day! 

May Beach Trip!!

We are wrapping up our beach trip, and boy, have we had fun!!  Nana Sue, Pal, Aunt Kim, Uncle Mark, and Gavin were all able to make it to the beach this year.  We dug in the sand, played in the ocean, enjoyed the wonderful water park, took a trip to the Aquarium, ate dinner in and out, and enjoyed lots of good QT with family.  The only thing that could have made this trip more spectacular would be if Aunt Kerri and Uncle Brian could have been here.  We look forward to spending time with them next time, for sure!

It's Her Party and She'll Cry if She Wants To!

Kerri Grace and I went to our friend, Brooke's, First Birthday Party!! It was such a cute party, and the little babies had such a great time!! That is, until the mommies made them line up and take a group shot. This was the progression of things...

At least they still look adorable when they are crying. =)

She's so Advanced!

She already knows exactly where the puzzle piece fits!

Beautiful Princesses in the Park!

Yesterday, Maggie and I went to our new friend, Belle's, Third Birthday Party!  Belle's Mommy and Daddy "did it up right," and Maggie and I had a blast at Belle's Purple Princess Party!  Happy Birthday, sweet Belle!

Drum Roll Please!

Introducing......

Kerri Grace's best friend.....


Mommy's best friend, Lauren's daughter....


Maggie's best friend, Campbell's little sister....

Our Little Reese-a-Roo, Reese Bryant!!!

As you can see from the picture, she looks very similar to her beautiful big sister.  She is so tiny, sweet, and gorgeous, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have another Bryant playmate! 

Welcome to the World, sweet baby Reese!

Generation to Generation

Being a Mommy....

Maggie, if we are half as good as Mimi is at being a Mommy, we will be doing well!

Hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day!  I know that I spent the entire day sending up prayers of gratitude for the blessings of a fabulous mother and two amazing daughters!  Life doesn't get any sweeter!

Sandy Fun!

Special Shout Out to Papa and Mimi for getting the girls this fabulous sandbox for Easter!

Maggie says she would prefer spending hours and hours playing in her sandy beach away from the beach, and Kerri Grace says that the sand is surprisely scrumptious to the taste. =)

My Prayer

Please give Maggie a love for you, Lord, and a desire to know your Word.

Girls' Weekend With a "Splash" of Papa

Matt had a fun guys' weekend planned in Atlanta.  My mom mentioned she needed to go to the lake to get a few things done and was so sweet to invite all three of us Gaymon girls to tag along.  We jumped on the opportunity!!  We had so much fun relaxing and playing with Mimi!  When Papa came for one night, we embraced our other playmate with open arms.  I just love that my girls enjoy their grandparents so much!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Barely visible nail polish on those cute toddler toes!

Who me?

Maggie eating, I mean singing, into her microphone!

No crawling yet.  Just scootin' backwards and around in circles.
