{daily delaney}

just a quick daily {delaney}.

we like to tell our daughters that they are {princesses}.

not in the fairy tale kind of way, but really and truly, they are {REAL} princesses.

they are daughters of {the} King.

one day, at the dinner table, casey told delaney she was {indeed} a princess.

she responded with:

"actually, daddy, i'm really just a turd."

hmmmm. i {swear} i've never called her that before in her life.

nope.

never ever.

Introducing, {Princess Turd}

{daily delaney}

so basically, my nearly 4 year old daughter {delaney} is a comedic genius.

and sometimes just has crazy cool {thoughts}.

i thought i'd attempt to share them here as they roll off her tongue.

i'll sure be trying for consistency in posting.

here's one from yesterday:

delaney: "hey mom. let's play pretend."

me: "ok, what do you want to play?"

delaney: "let's play, you be the mommy and i'll be the kid."

yeah....really stretching your imagination there, kiddo.

{my itty bitty}

finally, installment #3. amelia.

now this girl. she is one of a kind.

she will be 2 years old this month.

she is one of the biggest {turds} i've ever met. we call her a {turdler} instead of a toddler.

she also has me so tightly wrapped around her little finger it's starting to turn purple.

i cannot get enough of her, and and sometimes i cannot wait to get a break from her.

she is cuddly. she is not very brave. she has a mullet. she always pulls her pig tails out.

{i guess she's proud of her mullet}.

she is starting to pray on her own, and as w/ delaney, this delights my heart to hear her sweet little voice say Jesus name.

she is a:

mockingbird

she loves babies

she hates meat

she loves broccoli

she can put her own shoes on

she talks all the time

she is obsessed with airplanes

she likes to be read to

and so much {more}.

just get a load of this cuteness:

she likes to paint, and color, and make messes

she likes being in water....so long as she doesn't get splashed.

she has blond hair. and looks just like her daddy.

we very {lovingly} refer to her as, "crazy aunt millie"

i love this girl. love her.

{my little cricket}

here is installment #2. all about {delaney}.

let me just tell you, i {adore} this girl. she is on of my best friends. seriously.

delaney is:

beautiful

smart

sensitive to others

creative

a mini photographer

a builder upper to those around her

a comedian

and so much {more}.

she will be 4years old in october.

she is {thrilled} about having a baby brother, and obsessed with the fact that the dr. is going to {cut} him out of me. she informed casey one day, that after the dr. cut him out, she was going to hold remington. and when she was finished, he could have a turn.

she is already a great big sister to amelia {who can be a challenging little sister}.

she loves her cousins.

she especially adores an 18year old guy named, michael.

she has a heart to pray.

and her prayers are some of the most {tender} and {genuine} i've ever heard spoken. faith like a child people, there's really something there.

she loves taking photographs.

i love letting her.

here is some of her brilliant work:

and here are some fun updated photos of my little {cricket}:

she is learning to

write her

name.

i'm seriously impressed with the neatness of her handwriting.

she was very proud of herself this day.

her only struggle, is that she want's to put about a {million} extra lines in her letter E.

can i blame her? it does make the E extra fun.

she likes all things water. sprinklers, the pool in the back yard, the big pool where she likes to dive in and swim

underwater.

she really likes to fish. she and her daddy practice {casting} in the back yard.

she's not afraid of worms. in fact, she thinks they are pretty great.

and i think {she} is pretty great.

{my man and i}

this is installment #1 of {hello, i never post to this blog, let's change that now}

this one will be about my man and i.

i like him. a lot. i sort of {crush} on him.

he's so handsome, can you blame me?!? really.

any who.

we found out in december that he knocked me up.

and then in may, we found out we were having a {boy}.

i'm pretty certain that casey is still high 5ing people about that one.

he is still running his business Fine Edge Paintless Dent Repair, and God is still blessing our socks off in regards to that business. my man is a {hard} worker with a ton of {integrity} in his work, and this just keeps dealerships calling him back. i'm so proud of him and the way he {supports} our family.

we are looking forward to celebrating our {7th} wedding anniversary this month.

i'm still in awe over the fact that of {all} the women on this earth the {chose} me to be his wife. crazy cool.

i've been taking a breather from my business, Rag-a-Muffin Totes. i got totally burnt out on sewing after christmas time. don't get me wrong, i had a TON of business and that made for our being able to bless with christmas gifts huge. i just really needed a break after all that sewing.

also, because we found out i was preggers, i decided i needed to change up my business a bit. i am no longer offering {custom} made bags. someday, i will just have stock built up and posted for sale on the website and peeps will have to purchase totes as is. i hope you all still like what i come up with!

in the meantime, i've just been enjoying life with my 2 {sweet} daughters.

enjoying air conditioning.

enjoying feeling my little man kick the {crap} out of my insides.

and i'm looking forward to getting to meet mr. remington sometime in the upcoming weeks.
