3 Months and FULL of personality

My sweet Marion is 3mths (13 weeks) today! Time is definitely flying bye! She has brought so much joy and laughter into our lives. Maggie LOVES her sister too. Again...I was nervous about how she would react not being the baby....but she's been awesome! She always asks to hold her, kiss her, play with her, and loves to watch cartoons with her. There have even been times when Maggie has gotten mad at me because I've taken Marion away from her while she was holding her.
Maggie was a VERY good baby...was always easy about everything. Welll Marion is an even BETTER baby. She is very relaxed and constantly smiles, talks (loudly), and giggles. Jackson and I are truely blessed to have two beautiful little girls!






Guitars...Cadillacs....Ah-Suki!

Backtrack.....
Back in February, Jackson gave me strict instructions that I needed to pick a date and start planning Maggie's party, so that I could use my maternity to work on all the details. We pulled out the calendar and decided on the afternoon of May 18th. Well....a few weeks later we found out that Dwight Yoakum was playing at the CCA concert at the Sam HOuston Race Track that same afternoon. Of course Jackson immediately decided that we had to change Maggie's party becasue there was NO way he was missing this concert. Over the last few years, we have looked up tickets to see him play and they were $$$ so we never went....but this time they were only $17 plus we would also get to hear Robert Earl Keen, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and I can't remember the other guys, but he was good. Anywho....we decided to have Maggie's party that morning and then headed to the concert afterwards. Us, Leslie & Hank, Chad & Robin, and Peggie & Truman got there around 4:30....and the fun began!!
We sat on the lawn and listened to the show. All the performers did a great job. Of course DY was the last to perform....so we moved up as close as we could get. The clear picture of him below was taken by a guy standing next to us, and he kindly sent it to me since the iphone wasn't as good as his Samsung.
After the show, we took a cab to Denny's were we had a midnight snack.....and the manager there ended up driving us back to our hotel- long HILARIOUS story! The next morning we headed back to EC.




Maggie turned 2!!

Maggie turned 2 on May 23rd, but we celebrated her birthday on May 18th. She had a Minnie Mouse themed party....because she is obsessed with Minnie! Lots of family and friends came and helped her celebrate! She had a great time at her party....except for a little melt down when she wanted to open/play with the first gift she unwrapped...Other than that she had a blast!
Here are a few of the many pics....
