Welcome Home!

Saturday, we welcomed home Coach Mike Anderson! He used to be an assistant coach under Nolan Richardson for seventeen years at the U of A. In 2002, Richardson was fired so Coach Anderson went to coach at UAB. He then moved onto coach at Mizzou. The U of A recently let go Coach Phelphry. I was really hoping we would get Mike Anderson and am so happy we did! We went to the press conference, along with about 5,000 other Razorback fans. It feels so good to have some hope for Razorback Basketball again.
GO HOGS!!!


Cheering on Coach Mike Anderson!


Such a happy fan!


Such a big girl!

Family Sleepover!

Caroline and Gracyn had another sleepover! This time it was a family sleepover! Eric invited Clint over to watch an MMA fight so, of course, Gracyn and I had to come too! We're starting to see a little attitude from the girls when one has something the other wants. I'm sure it will get worse before it gets better but it's all part of growing up!


Gracyn and her monkey waiting to go see Caroline and her cats!



Watching Wonder Pets!


One thing they like to share is food! Caroline decided Gracyn needed a little bedtime snack!


Relaxing, watching cartoons. I love this!

Just a Day at the Park!

Gracyn and Caroline spent last Sunday together at the park. It's the first time they have really gotten outside and played together. They had so much fun!


Scrambeling to get to the slide!


Here she comes!


Caroline comes down!


Gracyn decides she was going to go up!


Nevermind, she decided it's more fun to go down!


This baby was exhausted when we got home!

Don't Feed the Animals!

Last weekend, Kaeleigh came to stay with us. It was such a nice day so we decided we would go to Gentry to the Wildlife Safari. We had taken Kaeleigh when she was five and loved it. She was so glad to be going back! Gracyn enjoyed it as well. We started off doing the drive through part. We had fun seeing the buffalo, camels, zebras, tigers and more.


I don't think the guys building the fence down the hill realized this camel was in their truck!

Hello there Buffalo!

After the drive thru, we parked the car and walked thru the petting zoo. The last time we were there they had baby goats. This time they had baby monkeys and baby lamas. I'm still waiting to go when they have tiger and bear cubs!


Gracyn was so excited!

Gracyn loved feeding and petting the goats!

Gracyn tried to eat the bread instead of feeding it to the goats!

The baby lamas were so soft!

Gracyn's first pony ride!

She is all grown up now! This little monkey crawled into her lap!


Kaeleigh is such a great, little aunt!

Sleepy Baby

This is what goes on at home while I'm at work. Clint said Gracyn wanted to stay in her high chair after snack time. He said within a few minutes he caught her doing this. Poor Baby!

What a Great Helper!

We got up this morning around 9am. Yes, that's right. 9am!!! It was so great to sleep in! After breakfast, I decided I wanted to rearrange the living room. This turned into moving everything completely out of the living room and really cleaning the hardwood floor. Gracyn loved the echo in the living room, but wasn't sure why all the furniture was in the kitchen. Gracyn decided she wanted to help sweep the floors!



So this month has been pretty low key. Valentine's day weekend Clint went out of town with some of his friends, so Gracyn and I went to Van Buren for a girl's weekend. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera. Gracyn's daycare usually has their holiday parties on Fridays, but since the they were closed due to snow it was on Monday, actual Valentine's Day. This meant she got to go! She doesn't go to daycare on Friday's so she usually misses out on the parties. Poor Kid.

She was a little weary of her gift. Ma Thomas had gotten her a really cute singing and dancing giraffe, but Gracyn was terrified of it. She really didn't want to open what we got her either.

Snow Happy!

WOW! I can't believe we have this much snow! I woke up this morning and looked out the window and didn't think it did that much. Then I actually opened the front door and was amazed! Clint called me from work and told he didn't think I should go in today. I told that I had to go in and for him to just come home and we'll see how the roads were. It's been almost 12 hours and he still hasn't made it home! He was going to stop by Jeffie's house and pick her up so she could watch Gracyn while he slept and while I was at work. His car wouldn't make it all the way, the snow was too deep! So, he walked to her house and decided to stay put. I got to work from home.

To most people, working from home would be great. I, however, do not enjoy it. I'm too distracted by other things (Gracyn, snow, cookies!) At one point, I decided to go out to back yard and measure the snow. Bad idea. The snow was all the way up the window on the back door so when I opened it I had to be really careful not to knock it into the house. While I was out there, Gracyn was standing at the back door on the inside, while Maggie was standing at the door on the outside. Let's just say it was very difficult to get back in the house, and I had a huge snow mess to clean up.


About 20 inches!

Gracyn "thought" she wanted out.



I finally couldn't stand it anymore...I had to put Gracyn in the snow! So, I bundled her up and we went outside. She did not enjoy it. We were out there long enough to take a picture then went right back in.

Gracyn is standing in it here. I tried to sit her in it but she wasn't having any of that!

I just talked to Clint and he isn't going into work tonight. He really can't, his car is still stuck! So who knows what I am going to do for work tomorrow! Looks like it may be another day from home. I must hide those cookies!
