Days 191-199

I REALLY want to accomplish this... just kinda getting a little hard to find the time to post pictures:(...

Day 191, If she only knew these were hiding out in my closet!  I've probably already given her this many!  This was a GREAT Dollar Tree find, thanks Presley for keeping me in "the know." :) 

Day 192,  Can they please always love each other this much :)

Day 193,  Yes, she's asleep :)  Notice Wes' vintage Game Boy, it's in the super cool Game Boy case :)  Apparently after 20+ years, even if you took good care of something, it may just not work anymore.  She was quite disappointed :( but still managed to find enjoyment out of carrying it around all day!

Day 194,  Why didn't I think of this when Kenadie was a baby???  Berkley's new favorite activity... just sitting in her stroller wherever I am in the house :)  It's so convenient!  I just stroll her around and park her where I need to get some work done, now, she can't fret when I walk off and leave her :)

Day 195, Learning to play Old Maid, Princess style...she thought the concept was so funny :) and she ALWAYS asked to start off with Ursula, the Old Maid :)

Day 196, Matching jammies are always fun!

Day 197, Mississippi Braves game

198, Feeling the need to use a wrinkle cream :(  Last year in my twenty's...

199, Being that Berkley is confined to the bumbo, I'm sure it won't be long and she will be contributing to destroying the playroom as well :)

Days 181-190

Day 181, Berkley's little entertainer :) *you can't beat the quality of my phone*

Day 182

Day 183, Going to see Cars 2 with Daddy

Day 184, She learned a new trick, and usually it would be Aaron that taught her something like this, but not this time... I take full credit :)

Day 185, Happy 4th!!!

Day 186, Happy girl waking up from her nap

187, Grand Berkley Station, minus the knives :)

Day 188, Daddy's home!!!

Day 189, First time in the jumpy, and not real sure about it!

Day 190, My little explorer, looking for bugs...

Days 170-180

Day 170, Happy Father's Day!

Day 171, Trying out the high chair--don't think we're quite ready to eat our meals here though...

Day 172, Bath time bunny Berkley

Day 173, On our way to Destin!

Day 174, Playing in the sand, still her FAVORITE thing to do at the beach!

Day 175, Rule # 1,347: If your child tells you her tummy hurts, you may want to consider it true!  Stomach bug hits the Hall Family Vacation!   

Day 176

Day 177, From day 1, this little girl has LOVED her bath, and still does :)

Day 178, I shopped till she dropped :) This is what happens to her if she misses her nap... she WILL find some place to take one!

Day 179, Happy 5 months, Berkley!

Day 180, A staple in our home... or I should say a staple for me!  I don't think I would be able to sleep without having some of this sometime after dinner, and it HAS to be in one of those little cups, or it just doesn't taste right.  It is the BEST low fat yogurt you have ever tasted!  I'm just waiting to find out that it's actually "real" ice cream...  Side note random funny that just came to mind: I fell in love with McAlister's "light" ranch dressing a while back.  One day I decided to ask how low fat it really was.  Are you ready for this???  The fat gram difference was only 1 gram from the "real" dressing!!! What???  They can actually call it "low fat" due to a 1 gram of fat difference???  No wonder it tasted so good!  That's why I'm a little leery of the yogurt here...

Days 163-169

Day 163, Berkley helps put away ALL the laundry from Bible school!

Day 164, Kenadie did great this week at swimming lessons!

Day 165, Obviously she doesn't eat pretzels...

Day 166, One of Kenadie's favorite toys, paired with her love of pretending!  That would be a "band-aid" because the cupcakes got hurt.

Day 167, She's found her toes!!!

Day 168, So, maybe every day isn't a smiley, feel good kinda day :)

Day 169, Beauty Shop--something new we like to play :)

Days 135-162

I am pretty sure this is the longest I have ever gone without posting my "days" pics!   Here is what we have been up to lately...

Day 135,  So, maybe Berkley isn't staying where you put her these days :) 

Day 136,  This is what happens when Mommy doesn't put away her things...

Day 137, Happy 8th Anniversary! (May 17th)

Day 138

Day 139,  Kenadie gets her ears pierced!

Day 140, Where Berkley's hands stay during her wake hours :)

Day 141, This is what happens if Kenadie misses her nap... she falls asleep around 5:30, before dinner, and doesn't wake until 6:30 a.m.!!!

Day 142, Sunday morning, before church.  It's quite an accomplishment to leave our house at 8 a.m., but somehow, we do it :)

Day 143, Kenadie in her make-do boat, Bucky!  And yes, I promise, it is still early enough to be in our pajamas :)  We wake up going full blast at our house :)

Day 144, Drooly

Day 145, Lily in her element... being treated like she's human.

Day 146, Just big enough for the exersaucer

Day 147, On our way to North Carolina to see Wes, Joy, Hayden and Henry.  Everyone made the 13 hour trip so good!  Thanks to buying too much at Christmas, I had this Leapster hidden in my closet for just the right road trip.  Picture courtesy of my phone, hence the poor quality. 

Day 148, Today we spent the day in Wilmington.  Wes and Joy live in Kinston.  Also, Berkley is 4 months old today! 

Day 149, Best Friends :)

Day 150, Cousin fun :)

Day 151, We're home!

Day 152, Yes, as a matter of fact you can wash your couch :)  I had never done this before.  I first tested my experiment on an arm rest cover, and before I knew it, our entire house was smelling like Gain detergent :) Ahhh... cleanliness....  A BIG thanks to Joy for just casually mentioning that she washed hers :)  Please tell me I'm not the only person who had never done this before???  And, there's only one word for the water that was in my washing machine...GRODY!!!  I took a pic to show my mom, but wouldn't dare post it on here!  You would probably not be my friend anymore!

Day 153, About to go to our 4 month check-up!

Day 154, Berkley starts rice cereal... time, please slow down!  She did so good and she loved it!

Day 155,  I went to check on Kenadie before I went to bed, and this is how I found her :)  If she had been awake like this, she would have told me "I'm a little old lady" in her best "little old lady" voice.  It's her new thing, and it happens to be funny! 

Day 156, This little girl LOVES some corn on the cob, and it tastes even better when it comes from Papa's garden!

Day 157, Day one of Bible school!  I'm with the babies/ones for the 3rd year in a row :)  We enjoyed taking care of 12 sweet little ones for the week, and this was one of them :)

Day 158, I can finally get on the scale without totally cringing!  We are not best friends, nor will we ever be, but it sure does feel good to be 4 lbs. under pre Berkley :)

Day 159, Day 3 of Bible school, and I'm beginning to think Kenadie can't take a picture without striking some sort of pose...

Day 160, Happy Birthday to me!  I had a great birthday, spent with my family.  I felt honored that Aaron suggested he take the day off to celebrate my birthday :)   And, as if you can't tell, one little girl in this picture was about to find herself in trouble...  I soooo feel like my mother when I say this, but "All I asked for was a good picture of me and my two girls, smiling!"  Oh well...

Day 161, Celebrating my birthday with Papa and Kay Kay!

And if you are still with me... Day 162, This is what your laundry room may look like after a week of Bible school.  You can tell doing laundry was not tops on my priority list this week :)  Making up for it today!
