Seems like yesterday...

Mariah, 2 days ...Tucker, 6 weeks

Second Cousins, once removed?

Mariah calls Tucker her great-cousin.

Happy Easter!

Very happy the Easter Bunny found her!

On the way to Papa and Nana's...

Mariah is using her "binoculars" to spot their barn!

Mariah's pronunciation is: KNOCK-ee-yurz

Making bunny cookies with Oma and Nana.

Great-grandma, Isabelle and grandma, Maryetta

The First Day of Spring

Just when we thought winter was gone...

Two Girls Cooking CHILI!!!

Mariah and Mama are making Mariah's FAVORITE food!

Mariah's job is to "wash the toots away".

She also sneaks a bean or two while she rinses.

(Rinsing until the bubbles are gone lowers the gas later!)

Me and My Shadow

Mariah and Shadow testing the new dog bed.

Cozy!

Pretty in Pink

Mariah missed a week of school because of a bad cold!

Mommy made her and her baby (Baby Lola, the First)

matching nighties to help them feel better!

You can ride my little red wagon!

It was a semi-warm day, about 38 degrees...

Almost spring-like so we went for a walk.

We had a new wagon to take for a test drive!

Mariah's favorite accessory is the water bottle holder!

A Cowboy Like Uncle Dan

Mariah made me laugh when she came out of her room dressed like this.

She then said, " I am a cowboy like Uncle Dan! He's a good guy."

I have never seen Uncle Dan dressed like this and pray I never do!

By the way... Anyone want a few tubs of girls' clothes!?

Dollies All Lined Up

Mariah likes to have her friends with her when she has a snack...

Erin Go Bragh!

Our Little Irish Princess!

We can't even go through St. Patrick's Day with out pink!

My OWN Pizza!

Canadian Bacon AND Ham...

She may be girly but she eats like a farmer!

Papa's Girl

Mariah loves all of her grandparents but Papa has a special spot in her heart... And, based on the fact that Papa is reading "Once Upon a Potty" in this photo, I would say Mariah has a special spot in Papa's heart too.

A Girl and Her Dog

Mariah and Nellie have this "thing" going.

They adore eachother.

Nellie takes whatever Mariah can dish out.

Thank GOD!

I highly recommend labs to people with children!

Let us Inroduce ourselves

Morgan and Mariah
Mariah and Carol

Carol works for the State.

Morgan currently works as a daycare teacher.

Mariah is the smartest, kindest, funniest three year old EVER!

These photos were taken at "Nemo on Ice" where we celebrated Adoption Day.

Sorry Carol, I know you HATE that photo! I'll replace it with a better one later!
