Day 2-Favorite Movie
This one is really hard for me because I like lots of movies. One of my most recent favorites is Fireproof. Brett and I watched it some time last year. It is a wonderful movie. I recommend it to any one in a relationship, especially married couples. While B and I are not like the couple in the movie, there were little things in the movie that we realized we could also do better in our relationship.

Day 1-Favorite Song
If you know me, you know I love music, all types of music. My favorite song right now is still Homesick by MercyMe. Since I just posted about that not too long ago. This is another favorite that is very high on the list. It's called Revelation Song by Kari Jobe. One of our youth at church (Callie Marie) does a fantastic job singing this song. I hope she sings it again soon. It brings tears to my eyes. Hope you enjoy!

15 months! Time flys when you're having fun!
Oh boy are we having fun! Everly is our never ending entertainment! Brett and I are so blessed to be parents to this amazing little person. I took her for her 15 month appointment last week. Dr. E says she is advanced for her age, which we of course thought all along, but it was great to hear it from a medical professional.
She now weighs 19 lbs. 6 oz.-10 percentile
length/height 29.75 inches-50th percentile
Her doctor says she is slender, which most women prefer...ha ha...why can't momma get her slender back???
Everly says tons and tons of words. I may have listed some of these before, but just to make sure I'll list them again.
Momma
Dada and Daddeee
Pop
PawPaw
Kitty Cat
Fluff (Gimme and Pop's cat)
Imme (Gimme and this is only ever once in a while)
Mimmie (She says this for both Mickey and Minnie)
Duck
Nack (Snack)
NaNa (Food)
Moo (really Boo when asked what the cow says)
Dotdog (as in Hotdog Dance) She says this any time she sees us open the laptop. She thinks youtube is the greatest because it plays the Hotdog Song over and over!
And the one we are most proud of Bible!!! She knows which book in her room is her Bible and she will go get it if you ask her too. She even showed out for Dr. E while he was in the exam room. I asked her if she could say doctor and she proudly said dot-tor.
She feeds herself pretty well with a spoon. We practice alot! We try to do that mostly with applesauce or yogurt so it will stick to the spoon and she can learn the motion. We gave her spaghetti Sunday night at Pop and Gimme's. She did pretty good and did not try to empty her bowl, until she was finished.
She can point to her bow, diaper, socks and shoes when asked. She loves shoes! She just started wearing them on a regular basis in the last three weeks and now she has about nine pair...ridiculous I know. At least a few of those are bigger sizes and two were bought at a consignment sale.
She spills Goldfish (her absolute favorite food at the moment) on the rug and eats them up! I usually give her a spillproof snack cup, but they were no where to be found...which is not unusual with this girl. We find things hidden all over our house.
I think I am being a good sport by letting her wear this "Lil Bama Fan" shirt. It's hard to live in a house divided. At least both of our teams are undefeated thus far. She'll be yelling War Eagle, before Roll Tide! Also, B and I have agreed that we'd rather her go to Auburn than Alabama...mainly because it's closer to home. So why doesn't he go ahead and make the switch now??? Also note the big girl jeans! I love them!
She loves to "help" me in the kitchen. I got her a farm magnet toy at the consignment sale too. I hoped this would occupy her some while I'm working. Last night she brought her Potsy and spoon into the kitchen and stirred away. She has this bottle of bubbles that she likes to shake into her pot. I guess that is her seasoning. I am so glad she seems interested in cooking. It is something I LOVE to do. Hopefully we'll spend many hours in the kitchen together whipping up lots of recipes. I am sure her Dada would be glad :)

Miss Social
In the past two weeks Miss E (and me of course) has attended two parties for two great friends. The first was for Sylvie who turned one. She had a great yellow themed swimming party complete with the cutest first birthday cake I've ever seen and homemade ice cream (yum, yum!). I didn't take any pictures while we were there, but I did snap this shot of Everly before we left for the party.
Then this past Saturday we went to a first birthday party for E's BFF Annsley. She also turned one. It was an awesome Minnie Mouse themed party. Her mom and dad pulled out all the stops to make her first birthday party so special. I know Everly had a great time because she loves Mimmie!
We're going to have to invest in one of these wagons. Both Annsley and Sylvie got one for their birthdays. At each party Everly had to climb in for a test sit. It seems she really likes them. Maybe Santa will bring her one!

New Look
Hey Everyone! Our blog finally got a make over! The header hasn't changed in the almost two years we've had it. I think this is pretty cute and will do for a little while. The picture is from last Halloween when Miss E was a flower. The red polka dots of her favorite character, Minnie Mouse or as she says Mimmie. I have got to get video of this before she starts saying it clearly. It's adorable!
Quick question...I do not see where to change my blog title post colors. The pink I have now is totally clashing. I know this is an elementary thing, but for the life of me I can't find it. Leave a comment with help please :)

Mack Flashback-Simple was Better
If you know me, you know I LOVED my childhood. There were so many things that I loved about childhood. The things I remember most were the simple pleasures. My big wheel, my bike, my Barbies, playing board games with my family, and our family time on Sunday afternoons.
One of my favorite times though was Friday afternoons. You see, my dad got paid on Fridays, so he would bring my sisters and I a treat. Usually it was ice cream sandwiches. I think they were 3 for $1.00 then. Sometimes though, he would come by and pick us up and let us choose our own treat. We loved to go to this little country store called Hall's. It was near the Lowndes/Montgomery county line...or down the road from the Montgomery Motor Speedway if you're from the area. Below are two things that I loved-
I hope Brett and I can bless Miss E with memories like this. As a child, I didn't expect to get something every time I walked into a store. We were there for a purpose, to buy something we needed not wanted. I catch myself buying her things now, just because they're cute. I really need to stop that. She will soon be old enough to know.
We love our little house in town, but I can not wait to move to the country. It will be easier for Brett to handle all of the farming business, but it will allow us a simple lifestyle that lots of townfolk miss out on. The simple pleasures! I'm talking about running around barefoot all day, chasing lightning bugs at night, eating peanuts on the porch, playing hide and go seek in the woods...just good fun. I can't wait! I've heard a saying recently..."go back to the woods". Believe me, we'd be more than happy too!
