She is so darn excited about her 6th birthday it is crazy. I think it is the combination of being in school and being another year older.  I miss that excitement that we used to have,how can we get that back?? Her last night as a 5 year old.  Our 6 year old! Her waffle with whipped cream and strawberry and of course candles, she had an awesome morning!

We went to cocoa beach on the first day of vacation. Both kids loved it, Maggie loved being in the water Owen loved sticking his toes in it.  We were a ways from the water but you still had to keep and eye on the little guy he would just get up and go for the water, they are like their daddy (gonna be fish).

I remember playing rummy, eating cheese and crackers and having hot tea like a tea party. You drove me to school and picked me up.  We always planted flowers like the moss rose you loved.  We always had watermelon in the summer together and you used to sit outside and watch me ride my bike or play.  We made runs to the produce stand and the local grocery store.  You always helped me with my

My baby girl turned FIVE this year.  I am at a loss at how I thought I would feel or react.  I am sad that she is five I feel like I have missed so much and done so little with her. I miss my teeny tiny baby girl  that I held so closely and breathed in her baby scent. I miss those sweet first gurgles that melt your heart.  I miss her quietness that wasn't quite cherished enough(lol). I

I can't find or didn't take any photos of Owen and my grandma Lola. So I refused to let that happen with my other grandma and again I either can't find or didn't take any of him with her up to this point either I am thinking I just can't find them but I have looked everywhere. To fix this issue I have on her birthday last week we made an impromptu trip to see her and did just that took some

Maggie woke up to the dining room being decorated with balloons and banners and presents. She was super excited. She got to take treats to school which consisted of little debbie brownies since you have to take packaged items. Then Brian and I picked her up early and took her to Toys R Us, where she got a balloon and her name announced over the intercom and had many happy birthdays wished to

Maggie turned 4 today. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful little girl. She has her moments but hey we all do and the sass that comes with 3's and 4's is unbelievable but I wouldn't change her for anything. She is snuggly and lovey. I see her growing and changing and can't imagine life without her, goodness we would be so bored. She adores school, she is learning so much(bad habits too) ah

We had fun in August our Baby Boy started to smile at the end of July but it was hard to catch. He is such a snuggler. He loves his sister as long as her hair isn’t in his face but of course she has to be on top of him LOL.We got to go to Tennessee to visit the Johnson Clan and see the newly arrived Miss Chloe and the rest of the family which we haven’t been able to see since January.

On friday Owen went to get his shots and my goodness he is a big guy which we knew but I never realized how big he really was I mean carrying him (in his carseat) is quite a chore but you have to do it so you don't think about the weight you just get on with it. Anyway my babies are in the exact same porportion. Owen at his 2 month check up weighs 16 lbs 4 oz and is 24 inches long. Maggie

I can't believe 6 years ago today I became Mrs. Brian McGuire. I don't think I could have picked a better person for me. The lord knew what he was doing all those years ago not letting us hit the right time until he was ready for us to be on the same page in life. I thank him each day for bring us together. Honey I love you and look forward to many more years together.

I got the camera out tonight and tried to get some good pictures of Owen for his 6 weeks eventhough it was 2 days ago. I love the photos just not perfect yet I have a lot of practice to go. I do have more pictures of things we have done just not really time to get everything done in a day maybe tomorrow I can get them all uploaded and post some blogs here shortly.

I decided to take a picture today because I don't know how much long it is going to be the dr said anyday now but that could be today or it might be 2 weeks from now regardless I needed a picture before this child decides to vacate his current home. It isn't the greatest photo I think my camera is dirty but it will do for what I want. I have other photos to post just to darn lazy to do so, LOL!

Well I had to take a belly picture for a friend of mine to post on her blog so I thought I would share it with those that don't read her blog too. Here I am at 32 weeks 6 days almost to the 7 weeks left mark and according to that it will be 49 days left to go tomorrow when you say 7 weeks it seems like a longer time than 49 days scary to say the least!!! and on another note way to go PARKER

This year we colored eggs with the Schwab girls - one she was at home in bed. This is the fourth year we have done it the first year Maggie was in a car seat watching on the table from what I remember, and this year she did a bunch of eggs. I think I got her to do ten of them if not more. Then on Sunday the Easter Bunny hid eggs in the front yard and Maggie hunted them. SHe had fun it was a bit

Maggie started gymnastics about 5 weeks ago and caught the end of one class and we signed her up for another session. I love it because it is structured and they have stations and she has to listen to someone else and all the while I get to watch her have fun. So last week was the end of the partial session we had signed her up for and every child in the class got a medal it is so cute. As you

I haven't taken really any belly pictures this time I am a bum I know butI thought this was cute. Last night it was decent when we got home before it started to rain and Maggie grabbed the bubbles. She decided that she wanted to blow bubbles at her brother in my belly so this is the shot I got she was so cute. And before we left for dinner I made Brian take a picture of me so I have something to

My little sister is 21 today my goodness how the time has flown by I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. I stayed home from school with my grandma Lola because I wanted to go to the hospital when she was born. Yeah right she had other plans it wasn't until 4.28pm that she came meet us. Which is still true today she comes to her own things in her own time much to the

I add pics and try to type no cursor so I deleted the pictures and am typing now and then it will be below oh well you will still have something to read.

Last night we went to the Davis' for dinner and some sledding after our trip to the gym. Maggie had fun and even tried hot chocolate afterwards. This morning we woke up to even more snow which is fun until you want it to melt and I think with the amoutn we got it will be here for just a little longer than necessary.

Too a crazy preshooler that finds it necessary to tell her babysitter about nasty magazines in her daddy's closet(I don't think she has ever even seen the inside of the said closet) but none the less that was the story yesterday, and tuesday the sitter called me at work and told

As most of you that read our blog know, we are expecting the arrival of a sibling for Maggie in June. We are 10 ½ weeks and everything is going good. Brian and I even got the pleasure of hearing a heartbeat today… takes a load off my mind. Anyway this past Thursday we told Maggie that she is going to be a big sister and have had a few conversations with her about this in these last few days.

I know it has been awhile just not been in the mood. I took this picture of Maggie last night trying to play with the flash and get the child to sit still long enough to figure out the flash and all it was a fiasco but I got a few pictures. Here is my favorite... Maggie has been battling some sort of runny nose eye watery thing this week so hopefully after this long weekend we can say we are bug

We went to the Moose Halloween Party on the 25th and Maggie had a blast. She was Miss Spider from Miss Spider's Sunny Patch . I made her costume this year with help from grandma linda and Maggie couldn't have been happier to wear it. At the party she won a prize and it was the cutest necklace earrings and purse set, she simply loves this set.

On wednesday I decided (at the very last minute while I was at hobby lobby) pick up some thread that was relatively close to the color of this fabric I have at home.

I am attempting to download and post at least one picture but the speed of this process seems to know I want to go to bed and is moving twice as slow as it should. So hopefully bright and early I can get up and post some pictures from the wedding on here and I might even make our bed so I can take a picture of our new master bedroom.Husband and Wife Cake Entering the Hall She is such a happy girl

I woke up this a.m. to the wonderful sound of rain. We needed some and we got it granted it rained probably 3/4ths of the day but we still needed it. Anyway I am thinking it is going to be a great day I love rainy days but I guess that is only when I DON'T have to work. My goodness every roof that has been put on since the dawn of time must have been leaking today because I kid you not I answered

Well, we have finished the testing. The positive news is that she does not have Myathenia Gratis. The working diagnosis is pseudotumor cerebri. We are spending the next couple hours monitoring her & waiting for an opthalmologist from Lutheran General Hospital to give us another opinion. She gets to go home today and we should be home by dinner. They are putting her on a drug called Diamox to

Elizabeth Brian's cousin is in need of prayers and I figured this was the easiest way to let you all know what is going on. She is now 13 holy cow we are all getting old ...most of you remember her from this...Elizabeth is the one on the right. But this was five years ago she is such the young lady now!!6/10Elizabeth's right eye began to stop tracking in the last 3 weeks. Her eyeball is focusing

Brian was getting Maggie ready this morning, and came into the bathroom and said she just broke his heart I thought she was being terrible and two but she was being sweet. I don't recall the complete conversation but she said "but Daddy your my best friend" it was too cute. Then tonight as I was taking tis picture Maggie said she wanted to take a picture so I let her with my camera which is way

Maggie has a new friend and when she sees her she always says my friend, my friend , lets go see my friend mommy. So we always have to go across the street to see our new friend. Recently we discovered that these two are going tobe in the same grade when they start school at the same school so we (collective parents) are going to be in big trouble living across the street from each other. So here

Since I last posted we have had lots of things happening. Sunday night Maggie fell off of a chair and landed on her head, she has a concussion but she is ok the dr said to keep her off bikes and the like. So for the next two weeks we will do our best to keep a two year old off of anything she isn't supposed to be on HA! I started two more classes so right now I have 5 classes and these two are

An update well we tried potty training on Memorial Day weekend, which didn't go to well but we were on the go and her first go at it. So on saturday morning we got up and got ready, she said she wanted to wear panties, I figured what the heck we really didn't have anywhere to go so we tried it again and behold we are doing really good. I am probably going to jinx myself but two days no #1
