What I'm LOViNG

Here are a few things I've been loving & obsessing over lately ...

Origami Owl

I made a necklace last week & I love it! You can customize everything.

{sorta like Pandora, but much cuter in my opinion}

Chevron. Print.

I'm obsessed with chevron print. I ordered this diaper bag for baby girl. I can't wait until it arrives!

Her hair. 

I love everything about it. The waves, the color, everything! I'd like to start doing my hair somewhat like this everyday. I'm just kind of over straight hair. My hair is curly, so why not embrace it, amIright?!

And lastly, has anyone heard the song by 2 Chainz? I think it's called "Kesha". 

It is so STUPID that it's funny & for that reason I'm obsessed with it. I laugh every time it comes on. 

{and I also sing/rap along with them}

: )

Happy 4th of July!

Spring Break Day 3

Today was an early day! Baby girl woke up with Daddy at 5:45. Somebody forgot to tell her Mama is on Spring Break! We made the most of our early morning with a trip to McDonald's for a butter biscuit and an iced mocha. After breakfast, we went outside to plant the rest of the flowers I bought on Tuesday. 

Here are my PiNK geraniums. I like to put a little creeping ivy in the pot with them.

Sidenote: What do you think of my tan?! Totally fake! I found possibly the best self-tanner - Lo'real gel tanner. loveit! I'm naturally pasty white, so I'm pretty pleased with this.

Now, let's get back on track. We ran a couple more errands today, made a pit stop by Walmart to pick up a little red wagon (a present from the Easter Bunny), and did a little napping. 

Lastly, we went and had Anniston's Easter pictures made. Let me just say O-M-G! I could have easily spent $1,000 on those pictures! They. Were. Precious.

Will post pictures of these soon.

Spring Break Day 2

Well, we didn't get an early start this morning ... 

We lounged around in our pj's, then ran a few errands. 

Home Depot was first on our list. I picked up these hostas. Now, I need to find somewhere to plant them. I'm told they are fans of the shade. Is this true?!

Next, was Ingles where I bought ferns to go on our front porch. I'll tell ya', there's just something about ferns on a front porch - I just love them! The ferns at Home Depot looked like they'd been ran over by a truck, so we got our's from the grocery store :)

Last, was a hair appointment for me & I cut my hair!

JUST KIDDING!

But, from the picture it looks like I did, huh?!

I only got my usual highlights :)

Our day ended with a thunderstorm & a beautiful rainbow. 

Can't complain - life's pretty good :)

Spring Break Day 1

Ahhhh! Spring Break has arrived! This week is super duper busy for me, but I wanted to try to make time to blog every day.

Our week started off with a BANG! On Friday night my friend Heather, Anniston, & I spent the night in Atlanta. We signed up to do The Color Run, a 5k race in Atlanta, on Saturday morning. We shopped Friday night & did the run on Saturday morning. I was so exhausted when I got home. Let's just say we were so busy that this is the only picture I have ...

We were supposed to meet up with the rest of our team, but it's kinda hard to find your teammates in a sea of 10,000 white t-shirts! Sorry, Erica :) If you want to see what The Color Run is, check out Erica's blog. She has some really cute pictures. 

Today I had a doctor's appointment, so baby girl & I were off to Anderson bright and early. My appointment was at 9:30, but I didn't see the doctor until 11:00! I really, really, really hate waiting. After the doctor's visit we managed to make a quick stop by Target before heading home :)

This H-O-T weather came outta nowhere, so Anniston needed her wardrobe updated. For some reason, this picture is upside down, but I posted it anyway. The clothes are just too cute not to. 

And it's only fair to pick up something for myself :)

After our looooong trip, she was exhausted! She slept the whole way home & for an additional hour and a half in her crib.

Saturday Morning Scene (SMS)

Here's what our Saturday Morning Scene looked like today ...

Anniston played in her Jumperoo & watched a little Mickey Mouse.

I enjoyed a vanilla iced coffee.

All while Justin worked SO hard to put new tile down in our guest bathroom.

This is the "during" shot. Will post "after" pics soon!

My baby's growing up!

Ummm ... I haven't blogged since mid-December!

I really want to try to blog 3-4 times a week now. However, I can't seem to find the time to wash my hair, so I don't know how that is going to go :)

Here's what has been going on with me since December ...

* We celebrated Anniston's first Christmas.

* I enrolled in school to begin my Master's degree.

Is it sad that this is all that's been going on with me in almost 2 months?!

My life may not have had many milestones, but Miss Priss has been going nonstop!

Santa brought her a Jumperoo, which she is in love with!

She has started eating cereal. So far, she has eaten it twice :)

She rolled over! I guess crawling will be next!

She can even sit up on her own (with a little support from behind)

I just can't believe how fast she's growing up!

Where has the time gone?!

Well, It's CHRiSTMAS BREAK for me, folks!

Can you tell I'm just a little excited?!

My maternity leave ended 3 weeks ago. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to start back to school before Christmas break. What the heck was I thinking?!

I teach first grade. It's my favorite age to teach. I work with some super fun, super sweet ladies & we have kept ourselves BUSY these past 3 weeks. Polar Express Day, Grinch Day (complete with a Who Feast :), Christmas Plays, Christmas Parties, Goodie Day, Tacky Sweater Day, the list goes on & on & ON! Being so busy kept my mind off of my sweet little baby girl ... for a few minutes at least. I know everyone got tired of me calling to check on her, but I can't help it. Who wouldn't miss this little face?

I can't believe how big she is! Justin swears she grows a ton from when he leaves in the morning to when he gets home at night. He's probably right.

She has started smiling ALL the time, now. Everybody loves it, of course. I'm pretty sure she can recognize my & Justin's faces. She spits/drools all the time. I don't know if she's teething or if she just likes to spit :)

At her last doctor's appointment she weighed 11 lbs. 4 oz. and she just started wearing a size 2 in her diapers. Also, she's trying SO hard to roll over! She hasn't done it yet, but I know she will soon.

We took her 3 month pictures. Here are some of them ...

Thank you to Sara Wise for these Ahhh-mazing photos. She's so great!



3 Things You Should Know About Anniston

In the short 4 weeks she has been on this earth, she has formed her own little personality. I've made a list of things you should know about Anniston ...

1. She looks just like her Daddy. See ...

2. She snores. Sometimes it keeps me & Justin up at night, but it's the sweetest little snore I've ever heard!

3. She has an "Angel's Kiss". It's a red birthmark on her forehead & eyelids. It will eventually fade & it will be almost invisible. I love it, because it reminds me that we are all so different & as the Bible says, "Wonderfully made ...".

Anniston Paige Morris

On Tuesday, September 13 at 3:49 p.m., Justin & I welcomed our first born child. She is a sweet baby girl, who we named Anniston Paige.

The name Anniston is a fun twist on my & my grandmother's middle names, Ann. Her middle name, Paige, comes from my MIL's middle name. I hope she likes it :)

L & D went great! Who ever invented the epidural needs a medal. Anniston weighed in at 7 lbs. 5oz. and measured 20 inches long.

I never thought I could love someone I just met SO MUCH!
