WE FOUND OUT WHERE WE'RE GOING!!!

So, after much anticipation...we found out today where Richard is getting stationed. (Drum roll please!) FORT BENNING, GEORGIA!! Our report date is set for sometime in August (as of right now...) We are so excited!!

SNOW!

It snowed at our house!! It just started snowing out of nowhere and within an hour was about an inch and a half. The next morning (today...) we took Mary outside to play in it!! She's our little snow bunny....





I know this picture is random...but my roses are blooming and it just looked so pretty against the snow!


Daddy stopped by and played in the snow with Mary!!

Hurricane Ridge

Daddy, Mommy, Mary, and Uncle Allen took Great- Grandma Penny up to Hurricane Ridge to sight see. We got to the top and what do you know? IT WAS COVERED IN SNOW! (Typical of the mountains in Washington...) Mary LOVED walking around in the snow! We then toured the museum and Mary just kept walking around looking at all the pictures! She had everyone laughing at her because she would make the cutest sounds at each display!

Mary walking around in the snow for the first time! (Of course Bunny came too!)

All ready to walk around the museum!

Enjoying the veiw out the window!

"Hurry up, Mom...I want to explore!"

Port Angeles

We spent Thanksgiving in Port Angeles visiting Richards family. The night before we left, we took Mary to the ER because she had a high fever and was vomiting. The docters told us it was a virus and gave her some anti- nausea medicine and it seemed to help! She was able to enjoy her trip... Just with a smaller appetite so she didn't eat her turkey! But she still had fun!!

Dinner Time!

She's done it for awhile, but we finally got a picture of Mary feeding herself! Such a big girl!

Such a big girl...

We were trying to take some Christmas pictures while TT was here. She was in her new Christmas night gown- but she did NOT want to sit and just get her pictures taken! Instead, her and Hudson were playing tug of war! This is something they've done for awhile now. The blue mouse is Hudson's toy, and he would bring it to Mary and they would play together. NOW, Mary has decided that she wants the mouse. So, when poor Hudson tries to play, she gets mad. Poor little "Bubby"....

After Hudson took the mouse away, Mary decided she would teach herself to climb up on her toy box. And, sure enough, she did. It won't be long until she can climb out of her crib! She's close!! (Hopefully, it will take her a little while though...haha)

Her First Master Piece

We bought Mary the Crayola beginners markers. I thought maybe she'd still be a little young for it, but she actually figured it out!!!



This is her first picture! (Obviously, she didn't draw the heart or the swirley!) But the scribbles on the right side are all hers! Needless to say, the picture is in her baby book now!!

Visit With Aunt TT

Aunt Terie came to visit us for a few days- It was such a nice visit!! Mary spent most of the time showing off to Aunt TT!! We went shopping and just over all enjoyed each others company!! But, of course, there were LOTS of pictures taken, so be prepared!!


Mary showing Aunt TT her kitchen!

We were trying to take a nice picture for Gran and Grandaddy, but Mary just had to much fun with Hudson!

She's posing on the toy box

Showing off her new boots!

She had so much fun watching the new Tickle Me Elmo in Wal-Mart!!! We had to finally pull her away! But this is her watching the Elmo...

Mary and her "Pony"

I just thought this was cute of Mary and her little zebra. It was a birthday present from some friends of ours, and our little cowgirl just throws her leg right over the saddle and starts bouncing away! She is constantly climbing up the saddle and then throwing her other leg over and climbing off. Then it's almost as if she's thanking her "pony" because she'll go to its head and pet it! She's growing up too fast....

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Unfortunatly, our little "princess" wasn't feeling to good on Halloween... She was still willing to get dressed up in her costume and then we went downtown where they open up all the shops and give out candy to everyone. There were HUNDREDS of kids down there and Mary had fun watching them, but we just stayed at Mommy's work and watched all the kids come in. Mary had fun with that. And Mommy even let her lick a lollipop (it is Halloween afterall!) But afterwards, I took our little princess home and she got to sleep off some of her cold....

Our little princess!!
