easter bunny

let happy thoughts:

easter morning.

church starts at 9:00 am sharp,

my sweet little tiny doesn't usually rise till around 8 or later.

we had just enough time to take a couple of photos of

nora looking through her new treasures & candy,

&

be about 25 minutes late to our church meeting.

we were running so far behind

that i forgot to even snap a quick shot of the kids

in their adorable easter outfits.

{its a good thing i am good at reenacting special events.}

it rained most of the day anyway,

so the picture perfect photo i was envisioning wouldn't have worked.

thats why later this

week we will have a

little mcphee easter photo session.

multiply like rabbits.

2 dudes

L.O.V.E.:

i am completely in love with these two

{& a certain little girl whom is not pictured here}

"nuff" said.

{more iPhone photos}

love love love

lucky me

some mothers are kissing mothers & some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same,:

these 3 can make me absolutely crazy sometimes,

but

i would be absolutely miserable without them.

i'm the lucky one.

{yes, another photo from my fabulous iPhone... i really need to bust out the camera.}

& most mothers kiss and scold together.

a home gets happier by the minute:

i love this boy.

so handsome & so sweet.

& almost five months old.

where does the time go?

{so much to catch up on in the blogging world....

its never ending.}

when there’s a precious baby in it.

hott-te

love is a many splendid thing:

it seems as though i have fallen behind again.

i have quite a few posts up my sleeve,

mostly about my mini mcphees.

{those will be posted in the next few days.}

but,

feast your eyes upon this guy

& be jealous.

this hott-te is mine.

all you need is love,

love is all you need.

fearless

around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long.
we keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...:

to say that my little tiny is fearless is an

understatement.

for instance,

today we were at my parent's house.

nora runs like crazy around there.

she know all the in's & out's.

her latest ventures are in the backyard.

my parent's backyard has a couple of retaining walls.

nora likes to throw rocks & dirt from the top.

i was sitting on the couch feeding baby kayl.

my mom had her eye on my little tiny through the window

& i would occasionally see her run by.

nora went to the top of the retaining wall

threw some dirt & rocks.

yelled something at the dogs in her language

&

got a certain look on her face.

my mom & i looked at each other....

"do you think she is going to jump?"

just as quick as the words left my mouth,

my little tiny leapt from the wall...

{its about a 3 foot jump}

we were shocked.

she was completely fine

{once i knew she was okay, i laughed so hard i cried}

in fact,

i would go so far to say that she throughly enjoyed herself.

my fearless little tiny.

& curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

twice

"God heals:

we managed to make it to the dr. twice this week.

awesome.

my little tiny had sad eyes yesterday,

that progressively got worse.

she woke up this morning with lots of boogs in her eyes.

my dr office is only open on saturdays from 9 to 11:30

& its a "walk-in" day.

nora has conjunctivitis

& a mild ear infection.

cheers to antibiotics & my wild little tiny.

& the doctor takes the fees".

sprinkler time

i watched this little ditty yesterday.

made my heart ache for a once "little-er" little tiny.

not sure why i never posted it.

regardless, here it is.

try not to cry,

because i already have today.

my little tiny is a unique soul in which Heavenly Father thought we would be perfect for each other.

&

we are.

not to mention, i am grateful for my husband.

he always catches the simple moments in life

that make me smile.

bronchitis

laugh as much as you breathe:

well well well,

the last couple of weeks have been challenging for me.

i don't get sick that often.

& when i do, it only lasts for a day or two.

but

this stuff is lingering.

i finally made it to see my family dr. on monday.

mostly i wanted him to check out my baby kayl.

{he has started coughing & been really stuffy}

of course he is perfectly fine,

including that liver of his.

{but thats a different post}

i got on the table

& it didn't take but two quick listens.

you have bronchitis.

awesome.

since i am a nursing mother,

amoxicillin is it.

i must say,

bronchitis is nasty.

coughing up stuff.

sickening.

besides that,

life is great.

my mini mcphees are healthy & happy.

what more could a mom ask for?

{photos taken with my iPhone, because my camera was out of town,

which is another story to be blogged about}

& love as long as you live.

freaky friday

ah friday.

{which is actually getting posted on saturday}

"this week was the week from H."

as quoted by my loving husband.

i'm not gonna lie, it was.

i am stuck with this horrendous cough.

when people cough in public, i start to freak out.

{mostly in a church setting, coughing people all in one room... sick.}

so now i am freaking myself out.

okay, enough complaining.

on a completely different subject.

i have this photo hanging on my fridge.

makes me smile every time i look at it.

i would be lost without this woman.

she saves me from going to crazytown everyday.

she listens to me complain,

cry,

laugh,

vent,

talk crap,

& still loves me.

i love her.

i always tell her she's my best friend.

i know she thinks i am joking,

because we always laugh afterwards,

but its true.

she is one of my best-s.

thanks mom.

your my best friend.
