So I've got a story for you today.

See that crazy ant hill?  They're going crazy because Georgia stepped on their home.

She somehow only managed to get 2 ants on her and no bites.  I saw her right as she was

going to step on it and rushed over, ready to rip off her shoes and get millions of ants

off of her.  But no need!  I just brushed 2 ants off.  So thankful.

But then, I wanted to get a picture of the crazy ants going crazy, so I'm doing so, and I

suddenly hear Georgia crying.  I turn around to see her sitting in the pond.  She had walked

right into it because it didn't look like water with the algae on it and plants in it.  Thankfully

she was only about waist deep, sitting on the edge of the pond.

Naturally, I ran over and as I'm doing so, the kids yell "There's a gator in there!" so I run

faster, grab her arm and pull her out.  She was quite scared and I was right there with her.

Ben brought out a towel and we wrapped her up.  She lost one of her shoes in the water,

but Ben found it and got it out.

After I got her out of her wet clothes and diaper, she was fine again and had some reading

time in Memaw's chair by the window.  With that apple toy.  She loves that thing.

Also, I'm 10 weeks along now!

Georgia was dressed up all pretty for a wedding today!

It was the 5th wedding I've been to in the last 6 weeks.

After we got home, she got to have her first popsicle!  I'm sure it

will be one of many this summer.  It was a big craving of mine when I

was pregnant with Georgia, and it's just a great way to cool down :)

I can hear her laugh when I look at that picture.

First day of spring!

We enjoyed it with a little snack outside.

And some "close up" pictures...

I set the timer for the picnic pictures, and she decided that it would

be better if she were closer to the camera.  She'd walk up to it saying

"Cheeeeese." :)

Ok, I got behind in posting again.  I'm sorry.

On this day, I didn't take any pictures (not even with our phones).  So, I took a picture

later on of something that represents that day!  I learned about doTERRA essential oils

at a class and then received my kit that evening!  I'm very excited to do some more
research and learn more about using these oils.  Especially during pregnancy, labor &
delivery, etc.  I know they'll be very beneficial.  I just want to be sure I use them safely
and correctly. I'm just so excited about being able to take care of my family in
a natural, God-given way.

We've got blossoms on our little orange tree!  It smells so yummy.

Georgia "turned" 18 months on Sunday, and I finally got to get

some pictures of her today to record this momentous occasion! ;)

I was utterly exhausted on Sunday, so it didn't happen then.  And

then yesterday it was rainy and stormy all day!  So, today was the day.

I can't believe she's 18 months old already.  She is such a joy and

blessing to us.  Always making us laugh.  Always teaching us something.

There is never a dull moment with her.  Even the quiet moments are full.

She makes our hearts so full.  I can't even imagine what another one will

be like!  She's going to be an amazing big sister.  I can't wait to see

what she will think of her new baby sister or brother!

Oh, and in the last picture, she's saying "Bah." which means bird.

She's been really fond of birds lately!  She gets really excited when she

sees them flying, or just sees them in general.  Words cannot describe

our love for this precious little girl.

Georgia is learning how to brush her teeth!

First time we tried wasn't much of a success, so this second time, Ben

brushed his teeth with her and she got a much better idea of how to do it.

We had a great time at Ashlynn's 3rd birthday party!

It was extremely windy that day.  I even lost my balance a few times.

Georgia loved the Hudson's new doggy :)

She also thoroughly enjoyed her yummy cupcake!

Happy birthday, Ashlynn!

I am so behind in my posting!

Ben and I shot a wedding this weekend... ^ their wedding, to be exact ;)

Andrew and Anna were a really wonderful couple to work with.

Anyways, I was completely exhausted afterwards, then we had our nieces

birthday party the next day, and I've just stayed behind in posting since.  BUT, I've

got a photo for each day.  I just have to post them all :)  Very soon, I promise!

Messy face, "cheese" grin girl.

And her first scraped knee!  She actually scraped both of them, I just didn't realize it until later.
