Weekend FUN and Mommie and Me!!!

This weekend Mary Morgan and I had the Mommie and Me second annual Christmas Party!! It was a blast and I just can not believe that they are all growing up so big. They all played well together and just had fun taking it all in and yes the Christmas tree was still standing when we all left!!!! Amanda had a gate up around the tree so it was guarded!!! She is one smart girl!! So the first pictures that you are going to see are if Mary Morgan the Morning of the Party. She was playing in my closet and came out like this. I just busted out laughing!! She looked at me like what are you laughing at these are your shoes!! Too cute!!! I guess that she is going to like playing dress up!!!! I tried to put a video of her trying to walk to the mirror but could not make it work..darn it!!!!

Group Picture---so we mommies got smart this time and had Mrs. White take the picture for us...oh how easy but still can not make everyone happy or look at the camera!!! Maybe when they are 5!!!!

Getting Ready for Christmas with the Mardis Family

Hello all-
We have been trying to get ready for Christmas the week and boy has it been wild. Lets just start out by saying that there is no picture of the TREE because it is so different than any we have had in the past, not many ornaments and not any on the lower part of the tree!! It is a result of the 2 little extra hands that we have around here now!! It is so funny because she walks around the tree and other decorations and as she passes them she says NO NO!! I just laugh!! But hey at least she knows!!! So over the weekend while doing laundry I had gone to do something and when I got back this is how I found Mary Morgan!! I just laughed out loud!!!! I got the camera and she said "CHEZZZZ"!!! Priceless!!!!

I must say that this is our most precious Christmas Decoration!! This year is going to be so much fun!!

Wanted to get some pictures of the snow. We have about 2 1/2 to 3 inches on the ground and it is still there. Mary Morgan was not really sure about it she just walked in it and looked at her foot prints!! She did say oh boy this morning as she watched from inside as it snowed harder than I have ever seen!! She is not even 2 and has seen twice!!! That is impressive for Mississippi!!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!!

Love the Mardis Family

Annopuncement from Mary Morgan Mardis!!!

Well my mommy and daddy have not gotten this t-shirt for me yet but I will be needing it in June. That is right Mommy is going to have another baby!!! We are now getting excited!! We were shocked at first but now it is sinking in and we are all getting used to the thought of another little one running around. Mommy keeps telling me that I am a big girl now and not a baby...she took my bottle away and I hate milk out of a cup!!! Mommy even tried chocolate and that did not work for me! If any of you other babies have any tricks to milk please let us know my Mommy really wants me to get some milk!!! Today Mommy is 11 weeks pregnant and I am so excited...I am not sure what I think the sex is but Mommy thinks a boy and Daddy is determined it is another girl!!! Never fear however they are going to find out...and since we have only know that were having a baby for a week or so we do not have to wait to long to find out and that is great!!!! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!!
Thanks for checking on us!!!

Blog Stalking!!!

Ok so to be honest with you about 2 weeks ago I was looking at blogs to see how friends are doing and I happened to come across a blog that I somehow can NOT seem to get back to and my heart is yearning to check on this family. They are a couple that does not live in Jackson but I think Mississippi because they are coming to Jackson the see the Pediatric Cardiologist and the High Risk OB-GYN. They are having a baby girl and she was not growing according to schedule. I have been searching every blog I can but just can not seem to get back to them. PLEASE if you know who I am talking about let me know. I want to see how they are doing they have been on my heart and I have been praying for this family.
Tonight I was posting some of the things that Mary Morgan has been doing lately and I have come across the site that I saw either before Mary Morgan was born or not long after any way....WARNING....get a tissue........I am going to attach the link so that you can also see this special video...I am crying as I type this. This video has humbled me to pray several times and it still does. Morgan and I are so blessed to have a healthy child. This video opens my eyes to so much. I love the Lord with all my heart and as I watch this I see I do not pray enough. As I watch this I feel compelled to fall to my knees and thank him for all the blessings that he has bestowed upon my family. This family is one that I have never met but respect and look up to more than anyone will ever know. They have taught me so much and all I have done is watch this video over and over.
I am also posting this site to remind me that when Mary Morgan does not sleep well, is fussy, getting teeth, running fever, will not let me put her down, is awake at 4 am, or crying for no reason I should take on the task of her needs with an open heart and no complaints.
I know that I sound ridiculous however I want to find that family so please share if you know who I am talking about and watch this video, count your blessing, and praise the Lord for what he has granted us.
A sometimes hard thing to remember but oh so true is that God does not give you more than you can handle.
I do apologize if you all have to redo your makeup after seeing the video....
Love to all- Jennye Lynne

Halloween 2008

This year I had so much trouble trying to decide on the perfect costume for my little angel! After spending some time with a wonderful friend Lynn Wells she had just what my heart desired! A KISS!!! She was a Hershey Kiss for her first mobile Halloween. She was so cute and she would wear the head piece for a little while. The costume was so appropriate because she gives the sweetest kisses I have ever had. She was so cute. The Mommie and Me Halloween party was a true blast...we chased children and caught up on what everyone is doing these days. I love seeing all of you and I can not wait until Christmas!!!

Our Little Kiss!
Mommie and Me Halloween 2008 and there were no good pictures and they are just little wiggle worms now.

What does this picture tell you....my impression.....mom seriously you are making me wear this....one day i will get you for this.....

Our sweet baby girl!

Happy Fall Yall!!!

Later all you Pumpkins!!!!!

Pumpkin Patch 2008

We took Mary Morgan to the Pumpkin Patch to harvest some pumpkins and as you can see below she had a BLAST!!! She loved the hayride and to tell the truth the only thing she did not like was that she was unable to pick up the pumpkins. I was afraid she was going to hurt herself straining to pick them up. She would try over and over and then just get so upset and move on to the next one to see if she could manage that one. The hay maze was so much fun...she just ran and ran thru them. Morgan would get on one side and call her and she would lean over to find him and he would jump out say BOO and she just died out laughing. We will for sure have to make this a tradition!

Our Little Pumpkin

Which one shall we take home?

See you next time......

Mississippi State Fair 2008

Morgan and I took Mary Morgan to the State Fair for the first time and oh my did she just take it all in including and entire corn dog....She just looked around the entire time. When it got dark and the lights were flashing she was in heaven...we would be walking along just taking it all in and she would just let out a scream. For those of you that know my friend Clare Agostinelli she does the squeal thing when she is really excited. Mary Morgan sounds just like her and I have to say it just cracks us up. She even walks around the house and all of a sudden will just squeal!! Too funny!!!! She was so taken by the lights, music, and action that she was dreaming in the middle of the night I jumped up to see if she was ok and she was pointing up....i guess like she was pointing to a ride...was funny. She loved playing the gold fish game and we came home with TWO and they only lasted about 10 days..o-well fun while it lasted!!! The petting zoo was great fun also....she loved everything but the pig that bit her! Yea i am not sure how that happened...she told him NO NO!!!! Funny Funny!!! We are counting down until the fair next year!!!

Thanks for checking on us!!! Love the Mardis Family!!!

We went to campus and then to the game. Crissie I am so sorry that we missed you I would have never thought that MMM would have made it thru the entire game but she did.
