Happy 5th Birthday Miranda!

Well, today we had Miranda's 5th birthday party. This year I decided to enjoy one of them for once. We had her party at Play By Play in Hot Springs! Great idea!!! The kids had a blast and I didn't stress near as much as I usually do. These people are awesome! They provided everything from the cake to the balloons. The only thing I had to bring was the goody bags for the kids! I loved it, and Miranda told me that this was the best birthday party ever! That says it all for me! Here are some pics of her party.

Playhouse Disney!!!

A week ago today, Miranda, Harleigh(one of her best friends), me, and a co-worker of mine(Lisa Long), went to Verizon Arena in Little Rock to see a Playhouse Disney concert! The girls had a blast! I took a bunch of pictures, but I will just post a few of them. It's going to be hard deciding which ones, but I will do my best! This was part of Miranda's birthday present. We are having her b-day party on the 10th at Play-By-Play. I will take pics of that when the time comes. Just pray that I don't forget my camera! I have been really bad about doing that! UGH!

Look, no training wheels!

Well, okay, I haven't been blogging in ages! I know it, I am so bad!!! I have just been so busy lately! No time to blog, but of course I have time to Facebook! That site is a curse on me....it's my addiction if you will! Well, I am going to make up for lost time and blog twice in one day! Woohoo! So, Scottie decides that Miranda needs to learn to ride her bike without her training wheels! Well, it didn't happen like he thought. She still needs to practice. It's not like he takes off the training wheels and VIOLA....she can ride without them that very second!!! She needs to practice at it, so these are some pics of her "trying" to ride her bike, but getting very frustrated, very fast!

Pre-K!!! ALREADY?!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, folks! It's official! My baby is not a baby anymore! As I type here, she is at her first day of "big" school! CRY, you ask?! I cried yesterday when I dropped her off at daycare for the very last time, and cried when I picked her up from daycare for the very last time.......this morning?!! No, I did not cry. WHAT?!!! Yes, I couldn't believe it! I wanted to when I first walked in the door of the school, but I held it back. Miranda made it VERY easy for me. I was taking pictures of her, and she would make that sound and roll her eyes, like "Oh Mom, how embarrassing"!!! What happened to my little baby girl?! She doesn't want me there, taking pictures of her first day at school! Well, needless to say, I have only about 7 pics of her. The only ones that she smiled in are the ones I took of her at home right before we left. She isn't even a teenager yet, and she is already embarrassed of me. Actually, I want to say that she is embarrassed of me with my camera, not of just ME!!! Anyway, I gave her a hug and told her that I loved her and to have a good day at school and said that I would be back for lunch to eat with her. She said okay, and that was it!!! I walked out and went home. I can't wait to see how her day went. I am going to pick her up today and then Scottie will pick her up from then on since I will be in Arkadelphia at work. Yes, I took a vacation day just for this......can't help it people, she is my only baby! This is a milestone for me! Okay, I will let you know how it went! Have a good one my friends!

P.S. This first pic is of her little friends at her daycare on her last day there! CRY!!! Here I go again!!!LOL

Move over Tiger Woods........

Friday, we took Miranda to Pirates Cove to play her first round of putt putt golf! I would have attached a pic for you, but my loving husband won't let me have TEXTING!!!!!!!!! Yes, I forgot my camera and so I had to take a pic on my cell phone of her putting her first golf ball. She is pretty good at it if I say so myself. Yes, her Daddy helped her out a little bit, but she came really close to getting a hole in one a time or two. She loved it!!!!!!! In fact, she cried when we finished and had to leave. By the way, it was no charge for her to play, because they asked me how old she was and I said 4 years old. The nice lady said that she was free! Woohoo! We need to take her more often, but not sure what age it is to where you have to pay. Didn't really ask....should have though. She will be 5 on October 1st. Well, either way, she had a good time and so we definitely have to take her back there. It was fun for all 3 of us! Nice little family outting that we normally don't get to do. Darn, sure wish I had the pic on here........SCOTTIE!!!!!

The Vacationers!

Hi ya'll! Long time no post, huh?!LOL I know, I know....I am a terrible blogger! I just don't have time to do the things that I want to that's fun anymore! It is so frustrating.....well anyway, enough about my problems. This is Miranda's Blog, not mine!

Her and I went on vacation last week and we had a great time! My Dad came and got us and took us to my Aunt's lakehouse for the most part of our time off. It was just a great place to relax and enjoy the lake on the boat. Miranda officially got in the lake for the first time to swim. I bought her one of those life jackets that looks like it has a built in swimsuit. I still had her wear a swimsuit underneath it though. Anyway, she got in the water and my wonderful cousin, Michael, did his best to give her a few lessons on how to swim. Now, she thinks she's a pro!LOL She even tried to teach ME to swim the next day out. It was too cute when she gave me some instructions on how to swim and when I took off and swam, she thought that I was a good student! She said in the biggest voice, "Mommy, you can SWIIIIIMMMM!!!!" Too funny!
We had the best time and saw the fireworks out on the lake two nights in a row! There is just something so relaxing about riding in a boat underneath the moonlight.....it was so tranquil! I have never done that before, and it sure won't be the last. Okay, well back to Miranda(I keep wondering off and talk about me). She got to meet two of her little cousins and spent time with her Grammy Great and Aunt and Uncle, and of course her Pa! She definitely wants to go back! So do I! Here are a few pics of us out on the lake. Her and I actually got in the tube for the first time ever too. It was a lot of fun! Hope you enjoy!

I am feverish!!!

Today Miranda has a fever and so I am staying home with her. She came in my room around 1AM and I am not even sure what she said, but when I picked her up to get on my bed, she was very warm. I took her temperature and it was 102.1(I added a degree since it was under her arm). I gave her Tylenol and then at 7AM it was 100.1. So I gave her Motrin. I called the Dr. to get her in and see what was up since she had no other symptoms. Saw the Dr. and said it must be just an early summer virus since she looked and acted fine. I can only treat her fever with Tylenol and Motrin. This has happened before a few months back and it is very frustrating when you can't do anything about it. Anyway, I am hoping that I can get my mother-in-law to watch her tomorrow so that I can go to work. If not, I am staying home again tomorrow. Well, I sure hope she gets better before Friday, because we are suppose to go to a birthday party that evening for a sweet little girl and her Daddy. Hope my baby feels better by then!
