Texas Easter

The Collier people celebrated Easter the weekend before the actual holiday. Oh, the fun.

Great grand-kids.
Pre-Hunting.

And Tah-dah! I'm sure you've forgotten already, but remember all those ingredients I showed you last time...

Easter Egg Cake Pops!

If you love cake, sugar, icing, sugar, sprinkles, and sugar you will LOVE these babies.

Eat your heart out.

Sorry for the fuzziness, but he's so darn cute!

Clearly she is so excited to be there.
Maybe she doesn't like all her fluff being squished..

Post Hunting. And VERY protective of their baskets.

Yes, he has two baskets. Because, yes, he's Will's son. He must win.

"What?"

Tymrie in action

Not so sure about this competition

It was a windy blast. Good food, good people, good times. Everyone should experience an afternoon with this family.

Around the Boatright house....

Just thought I'd give you a little peek into what's been going on around here.  

As if we haven't been blown away everyday for the past 2 weeks, we had to get beat the other night.  That's right. Golf ball sized hail...twice.  It was about 10:30 pm and I was SURE I was about to have a crying baby to comfort back to sleep.  Nope. Not a peep.  Good girl.

Next.  My last little project...


Curious??

Stay tuned.

Bath time is super fun at our house.  Mabry LOVES the bath - just like her Momma.  She smiles and kicks and splashes the water on her face and looks at me like "What did you do?" I think the only time she's cried in the tub is in her very first bath.  Hopefully she will like the pool just as much this summer.  After the bath is not quite as fun, but we're getting better.  It's the pajama part that gets her.  Gowns....  Or maybe it's because she knows the food is next and just can't handle the wait...  Cute nevertheless.
I know I said she smile alot in the tub, and she really does.  Except when there's a big black thing in her face.  Then she's too busy trying to figure out what it is and can't smile.  

Nice mohawk, huh?  Yes, the hair is too long to stand up.  We could have a Pebbles do already, but I'm holding back.
Other happenings this week....

Trying to figure out this thing.  Or trying to figure out how I can get it in my mouth probably.
Getting the hang of Tummy Time

"What'choo talkin' bout Willis?"

I mean do I really need a caption here???
See you soon!

Spring Break in Linden

Before we left...how cute is this?

New Nephew!

Our one and only...

Brody Michael Boatright

Coming in at 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 21 in. long, Mabry's cousin arrived at 11:33 today to proud parents, Matt and Jaclyn.  Mom and baby did and are doing great.  Hopefully we'll get more pictures soon.  We love you guys!

11 Weeks

Well, here we are after 11 amazing weeks!  Everyday is so fun with Miss Mabry.  She's alert to everything around her and just talks and grins and kicks her legs all the time.  She also LOVES to take a bath but I don't have any pictures of that right now.  It's on the list...

Her hand is her new favorite thing.  Forget the sucker - let's see how much of my fist I can fit in here.  And, our first big bow action.  Her hair doesn't hold them in very well, and the headband doesn't work the best with hair but I thought it was cute for a couple of pictures.

She was definitely more concerned with her hand than smiling for me.   Check out that belly!
The other day we went to get her up from her nap and this is position we found her in: Off the side of the wedge (those little velcro pads on there don't faze Moo Moo) she sleeps on and her head buried in the corner of the bumper pads.  You can't see it but her left arm is sticking out the side of the crib!  We thought it was hilarious and figured we should get a picture of this strange occurance, but she did it AGAIN after her next nap!  Exactly the same.  3 times total. So, no more wedge. 
She must be thinking, "Come on Mom, do I really look like I want to be sitting here???"

Big girl on Daddy's lap.

We were having a great converstation!
The Collier fam came to visit a couple of weeks ago.  Uncle Ty is a natural, but we all knew that.

Fun Times

Well, little MooMoo went to the doctor last week.  She now weighs 13 lb. 12 oz. and is 23 inches long!  So far she's taking after her mom.

Mabry has also discovered the television.  She knows where to look for it no matter where she's laying in the living room... Here is where she gets her diaper changed the most and if you can't tell, she's got her head turned so she can see the tv.  

Notice the face on her daddy...he's so good!  

Bumbo time!  

We're still working on head control but as long as she leans against the couch she can hold it straight.
They say "tummy time" is good for babies.  SUPPOSEDLY they learn how to push up and work their neck and back muscles.  Mabry here just thinks it's fun to lay there.  Not much pushing up for this girl.   She can turn from one side to the other if she wants to...IF. 

Nap time!
I can't get over how precious she is!
