P's school program & Easter AAYYEEGGGSSS

Well, I am behind posting the Easter pics - and we just got home from P's program at school - which was pretty hilarious. This is pretty much what she did the entire time. She did lay down at the end, like she was asleep (I think that she was supposed to do that) - but for the most part, I have 10 minutes of video of this exact face....

Don't you worry - her BFF Olivia was the cutest - and did all the right moves...

This is P's secret boyfriend Brennan - is he not adorable?

Yes, they are wearing pajamas, that was their costume. Here is P with her buddies Olivia & Camille...

And now back to Easter... P LOVES the Eggs. I wish I could type it the was she says it... it is more like AAAYYYEEEGGGGSSSS (with the lisp).
She had so much fun hunting eggs, but in true Presley style, if the egg was not the right color - she would just walk on by. If we picked up an egg she had passed over and try to slip it into her basket, she would look down, pick it up and throw it out. Well - she is a woman who knows what she wants. Here is P and favorite Uncle Gat on Easter Sunday after church...


and of course with Papa and Cece

Papa, Cece & P dying easter eggs... Cece bought her an egg spinner - you dump in the dye and spin around the egg like a lettuce spinner. Really cuts down on the mess - yay!

P and cousin Cooper getting all the AAAYYYEEEEGGGGSS.

P did get some colors and a CARS coloring book (I know this is shocking - Presley gets colors) and preceded to drop herself in the floor and start coloring immediately. Notice the large half eaten bar of chocolate on the floor. Color a little, take a bite of chocolate, color a little more... you know, crayons, wax, chocolate, floor dirt - its all the same.

So I hope you all had a Happy Easter - we are on the final countdown until little brother makes his debut - about 18 days to be exact. I am trying to remember to enjoy the last few weeks of preganancy - but when you cannot inhale because your ribs won't expand anymore, you can't eat anything without chasing it with Rolaids, you have to give in to the fact that you have in deed reached the miserable point. Either way, we finally decided on a name, and Carter Garrett Holmes will be here soon! Sorry for the long post - Happy Thursday!

Meet my new friend Will

One of my oldest and dearest friends from high school gave birth today - William Henry was born at 9:06 pm - weighing in at 8 lbs. 2 oz. If you know Mere, then you know that is a BIG BABY! She did have a c-section and was so so tired, but he is here and perfect. I am so thankful for this precious blessing - and he belongs to two of the most wonderful & deserving parents. We love you Mere, Troy & baby Will!

and now the rain

So last week was snow... this week is rain. It did give P an excuse to use the frog umbrella Aunt Tiff gave her long ago. She loves it! She loves it so much, she doesn't want to go inside - she wants to stay out in the rain. Most of the time, this involves me standing there (without an umbrella) getting wet and trying to convince her to go inside. She is also a little reckless with the swinging of the umbrella - as you can tell from the pics. In other news - we have a new cousin - Makinley Kate Bigham was born on St. Patricks Day - and tomorrow morning - we expect to meet Will Okruhlik! Can't wait - bring on the babies! Have a great day!

This is CRAZY I tell you - CRAZY!

Ok so last night, I made dinner, and Michael, P and I enjoyed dinner outside on our patio. We had the windows open all day - P played soccer outside with the dogs.... it felt like the beginning of spring.
WRONG.
Less than 24 hours later, it is SNOWING. SNOWING! Enough snow that we bundled P up and took her outside to experience it - even though it was dark. She kept saying, "Mommie - WHITE?" Yep,white. Everywhere - white. Should be lovely lime green, little sprigs of grass growing up - the signs of life after winter. Nope - snow. Lots of snow. No wonder there are snotty kids, people coughing up lungs in line at the grocery store - germs everywhere. A simple swing of 40 degrees is enough for that. Here are some pics - yes, P is in her pajamas, but it was snowing - for the minute, so we took advantage! Maybe tomorrow we can swim in the pool.
