Toby's Birthday

Alexandra wanted to get her dad a cake for his birthday! She loves celebrating birthdays. After she got out of school, I took her to the store to search for a birthday cake. She had such a great time! She said "mom we need candles for daddy's cake." I was glad she remembered to get the candles. When we got home we put up some decorations and made him a card. Then it was a waiting game. When we heard the garage door open, we turned off all the lights and lite the candles on the cake. He walked into a dark house with a fire burning as we yelled out SURPIRSE!! Avery was taking a nap but woke up just in time to celebrate with us. Alexandra couldn't wait to cut into the cake. It was a great celebration!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY!!!!!


Waiting for daddy to come in.

SURPRISE!!!!!

Babies in Bumbos

The girls and I had a playdate at Chick-Fil-A today! We met our neighbor. She has a two and a half year old son that plays well with Alexandra and her daughter is two weeks younger than Avery. We were laughing at ourselves walking in Chick-Fil-A. We each were carrying a baby in one arm, and a diaper bag, bumbo, purse and a toddler on the other side. I am sure we looked like we were moving in! Here are some photos of the girls having fun. The other kids were wearing themselves out on the playground. We all had a great time!

Girls Just Want to Have Fun!

Alexandra and Avery were having fun playing this morning and I got some pictures to share.

Does she look guilty or what?

I really miss my camera. I should be getting it back tomorrow. Today Holly and I took the girls to see Bedtime Stories. It was a great movie! When we got home Alexandra decided she wanted to go to the park. As everyone was getting ready, Avery fell Asleep. Toby and Alexandra decided they would go ahead and go. She said when Avery got through with her nap we could join them. I was so glad because I would love to spend time outside before it gets cold!! Ooops I hear them coming in I guess Avery's nap was a little too long!

Happy New Year

Wow, I can't believe it is 2008. I hope all of you had a fun and safe New Year's. We had a great time at my cousin's in Mckinney. We had a great time eating, playing games, and visiting. WE all made it to midnight except Avery and Bradi. Once midnight hit Alexandra was fast asleep! I would post pictures but I left my camera at my cousin's house. HAPPY NEW YEAR'S TO ALL!!!!

Happy Girls

Avery was having a bad day. Her teeth have decided to start pushing through again after taking a week off. Nothing made her happy short of mom holding her. Jennifer sat her down for just a second to do something when Alexandra stepped in. Avery started off sitting up. Alexandra had her laughing so hard Avery fell back. I cought several short clips of the two of them. Enjoy!!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Alexandra is excited about celebrating Jesus's birthday today. She had so much fun making a cake for Jesus. Here are some pictures of her and Avery celebrating His birthday!
