Unexpected Doctor's visit

When we woke up this morning Karlie was VERY congested so I decided to take her to the doctor. We have been battling this for a few weeks now and have tried everything. She had a little congestion so they gave us an antibiotic and sent us on our way. It's a good thing because we have SOOOOOOO much to do today!

Karlie Rae came to play...

Shanda needed a sitter for today because Karlie's sitter(Ms. Mona) was out of town, so Rowyn and I jumped at the chance. We had lots of fun.

When i would look around the camera and talk to her, she would smile...

and then would put my eye back to the camera and i would get this...

Karlie played under Rowyn's rain forest mobile thingy...

Karlie and Rowyn watched the baby channel together...

Then we played in the floor together...

Then we had some tummy time...

and we kicked back and chilled...she looks like she needs a stiff scotch in her left hand, doesnt she?

then we sat in the boppy(well 2 boppys) and played with Rowyn some more...

This is Rowyn when i told her she had to stop taking that rattle away from Karlie... lol

and here she is giving it back to Karlie...

Then it was time to show her who was boss...

"You dont know who your messin' with little Karlie."

"I said...GIVE ME THAT RATTLE"

Or maybe she was trying to give her CPR...?

Karlie was trying for dear life to get away from this mad helmeted woman!

Rowyn was gonna let her get away without a fight...jk, she was just really interested in little Miss Karlie Rae

"Aww, Karlie...I'm sorry... you can play with any toys that you want... Please dont cry."

"Mama... you took away my friend... give her back to me, please... I was not done playing with her"

Easter Sunday

I've always spent Easter Sunday with the Jackson's, this year was no different. For a long time Amanda was the youngest grandkid at the house because the youngest ones live in Florida. When Kaden came along he was the only kid, a few years later came Cooper and Tayler joined the family. This year we added Kolten and Karlie. It seems like there are a lot of kids now and it's so much fun!

This is the Easter basket that the Easter Bunny left for Karlie. It had stuffed puppies just like her real puppies Gus and Duke and some dresses. No candy because she just can't eat it yet!


Aunt Kathy and Karlie. For those of you that don't know Aunt Kathy, if there is a baby in the room they will be with her!

The boys hunting Easter Eggs


By the end of the day we were exhausted! Daddy HAD to stay and watch the end of the golf tournament and we were done!

Lots to do the day before Easter

We started off early this morning going to see Kyle's mom, Doc and his brother's family at their church. They have a puppet show, Easter egg hunt and lunch the day before Easter every year. We got Karlie all dressed up in her Easter dress and off we went. For some reason I only got one picture, but it's a good one!

This is Karlie and her Maw-Maw
After that we were off to my Papa Billy's house for another Easter Egg hunt and Hay ride. It was very cold so we were all bundled up to keep warm.

Karlie had on a sweater and a fleece jacket over her dress.

We hunted eggs just to say that we did


Like I said, she's still not sitting up the best!

We FINALLY made it to the Arboretum

On our second attempt we made it to the Arboretum. It was a little cold at first, but it warmed up when we got out in the sun. Karlie and I went with our friends, Megan, Rowyn, Janet, Sarah, Stacia, Lexi and Colby. We had a great time taking pictures and at lunch. Thanks for inviting us to go with yall!

Karlie's attempt at sitting up!




There weren't a lot of flowers because it was the last week of Dallas Blooms and they had pulled up most of the tulips. My pictures weren't the greatest because Karlie still isn't sitting up.

Going to see the Easter Bunny

We took Karlie to see the Easter Bunny tonight. I think she's still to little to be scared. These are the pictures I snapped at the house and waiting in line.

Ok, Karlie is the little girl who smiles huge when you talk to her or play with her, but the minute you pick up the camera this stoic look comes over her face! One day we will capture the big smiles on camera.

Love,
Shanda

NASCAR Race

Kyle and I went to the Nascar race today. We had a lot of fun as always, but the race was a little boring this year. I love to go just to sight see. My guy (Kasey Kahne) did not have a good day, but I cheered on Jeff Gordon when he won. Texas Motor Speedway is one of only two tracks that he had never won at and today he did it!


Kasey Kahne and Dale Earnhardt Jr. I was able to get both of our guys in one shot!
