Sorry it has been so long, but with the end of school coming, my days have been very busy.
Mary just loves reading all of the time! This is how she reads every book "Once upon a time...the end!"
This morning Mary insisted she help out with her hair.
As soon as we got home today she had to put them right back on!

Aunt Paige's Visit

Aunt Paige came for McKinney's Relay for Life. She joined our team and helped us raise over $4000!!!! All together McKinney raised over $340,000...and more money was raised that night! We had a great time walking! During the Relay, Paige gave her 2 lollipops...one for each hand. Mary really liked them and it didn't take long for them to "kick" in!....thanks Aunt Paige! When she came on Friday she brought Mary a new Dora coloring book with over 700 stickers! Mary LOVES it. She also brought the cute carrying case that will hold her chalk and eraser or whatever else will fit. Right now she likes using the chalk in the coloring book.

New Pink John Deere

Uncle Mike made Mary a very special John Deere pedal tractor for her birthday. She loves it...now we just have to teach her how to pedal!

Mary is 2!

For Mary's birthday she got a little playground from us. She had fun playing on it with her friend, Hunter.

Easter Sunday

Mary was a very good girl for Easter church. The Easter Bunny came and delivered eggs during mass! Mary had fun!

Mary's Birthday Party

Well, the weather did not cooperate at all for Mary's 2nd Birthdaty party on the farm. The temp was around 40 all day with lots of rain and wind! We had everybody in the house and in the garage. Thanks to Granny and Pa-Pa for hosting. Mary enjoyed the friends, the family, the food, and the presents!

Good Friday Fish Fry

Pa-Pa fried up some good catfish for our Good Friday celebration. It was a beautiful day until the sun went down and then so did the temperature!

Jackson gave Mary a ride in his "ekaladater"
Grandma brought Easter goodies for all of the Great Grandkids
My new favorite person...Cousin Greg...he gives me as many jelly beans as I want!

Mary's turning 2!

We took Mary to have her pictures taken for her 2nd birthday. She is finally getting the hang of having professional pictures done. She was somewhat cooperative and the photographer was pretty good, too.
Everytime the photographer said "Say Cheese," she would drop down to play peek-a-boo.
I can't believe we got one of these to turn out. She kept wanting to roll on her back.
Mary was so excited when she saw the horse. She immediatly jumped on, but was quickly dissappointed when it wouldn't rock!
Too cute!

Grandma Betty's visit

Grandma Betty came for a visit. Mary got to stay at home with her during the day. We had fun going out to eat, playing in the yard, going swimming, and just hanging out.
Grandma Betty brought along some early birthday presents. Mary is really getting the hang of this opening thing. The paper came off much faster than at Christmas time.
Aunt Jane and Uncle Steve sent a cute little outfit and an Elmo book. Mary loves Elmo!
Mary loves giving the bottle to her new little baby doll that Grandma Betty gave her. She is a very good mommy to her. Grandma Betty also gave her an adorable pink dress for spring.
"Bye-Bye Grandma Betty" "See you next time" "See you later"

1st pedicure

Amy gave Mary her first nail polish on her toes. It is just too cute! Now we just need some sandals to show them off.
