Mallory's first and last swim lesson...

Before
happy

She screamed the whole time and Craig and I
were even hiding. Well, not good enough. She
saw me and cried the entire time! So, Craig told
me to just go get her. I went and asked the
instructor if it would be better if we wait on
the mommy and me class. She said, "I think that
would be a good idea!" She was really sick of
a crying baby! Mallory was also the youngest
one there. They were telling them to put their chins
in the water....she doesn't even know where
her chin is!!!! So, needless to say, that was
our last swim lesson until mommy can do it
with her!!



Having to be held...of course!

She is the second from the end. All of these kids

are towering over her!

Mallory's first 4-wheeler ride

This is Mallory's first 4-wheeler ride and her

first time to the deer camp! She loved it....please,

no, don't let me have a tom boy....what will

I do!?? Good thing she loves make-up and high

heels!!!!

She was really interested in the deer corn. She ate
a few pieces..hope its the same as our corn!

Mallory and her daddy. She loved trying to push

the gas handle!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a great Valentine's Day! My mom offered

to babysit my sister's kids and Mallory while we

went to the races and then out to eat that night.

My poor mother...the pictures will explain.

She was WORN out! Thanks, Mom!

We really apprecitate it. We had a great time!

Mallory opening her presents. She LOVED those

Valentine's heart candies..Sweethearts. I had

to take them away from her because she would

have eaten the whole box!! My little piglet!

This is how my mom spent her Saturday! Now

you see why she was worn out! 3 kids and 4 dogs!

She kept my friend Rachel's dog while we were

at the races, too!!

Mallory and Hayden

All 4 dogs...doesn't this wear you out just looking

at the pictures???

More pics from Reed's Birthday...

I stole some pics from Reed's blog. Whoops!

Thanks Joni!!

Baby Reed's 1st Birthday Party

We went to our good friend's Cody and Joni's little

boy, Reed's birthday party Saturday. It was so much

fun! Mallory had a blast!

Reed digging in his birthday cake!

Maybe black icing wasn't the best idea!

He didn't like his birthday hat too much!

Mallory loved Reed's birthday present

more than he did! She must have gone

down this slide 100 times!!

Weeeeeeeeee!

Reed and Mallory cruisin in the car!

Can I take a ride in your car, Reed??

Mallory helping Joni open gifts

This poor pinata didn't stand a chance!

Mallory is not real sure about the pinata!

Thanks Crawford's for a wonderful time!!

Mallory's First Snow

These are old pictures! This is not from

the big snow that everyone just got

because as you all know, south Arkansas

NEVER gets ANYTHING!! This is from

the beginning on January. It snowed for

maybe an hour so I suited up Mallory and

took her to play in it before it ended!

Can you see the little bitty flakes falling in
the background?? Bet El Dorado has not seen
snow in a decade or so! So this is a pretty
big deal! ;)


Mallory can not STAND to have her
hands dirty! My little princess!

Mallory loves her puppy Sisco!

New Year's Eve

I'm a bad blogger, I know! But, here goes!

Mallory got to spend New Year's Eve with us

adults this year! It worked out really well. My

mom babysat while we went out to dinner and

then we picked her up and took her back to Craig's

lakehouse. Then my mom and stepdad got to

go to a party and we had a small party at the

lakehouse! It ended up being really fun! It's

pretty hard to find a babysitter on New Year's

Eve, as I'm sure you all know!
