Averie has been looking forward to her Aunt Maycee's Junior Prom. Where I am from, the Junior Prom is a huge town affair. A lot of people think it is kind off a strange thing, but it is actually really fun to have a reason to get all dressed up. Averie my little princess couldn't wait for the "Ball" to take place. When my sister asked her if she was going to come she said "Maycee I can't I don't have a gown!". I decided your only young once so why not make a big deal of it. She got to choose her dress out, wear some of my jewelry, a little makeup, and I got her a little corsage. She was excited for about two months and that is all she could talk about. When the night finally arrived, Aunt Lori gave her the royal treatment, with hair fit for a real princess. She made everyone close their eyes for the BIG reveal. I hope it will be something that she will always remember, because she felt really beautiful. I only wish we could all live in the same fairytale world that she does.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day with our 2nd annual " Green Dinner"! It was Carter's idea last year and it was so much fun, we decided to do it every year. Yeah, the food doesn't look that delicious, but it sure is fun to eat! On the menu this year was green pesto pasta, green salad, green ranch, green broccoli and for dessert, green pudding and green rice krispie's. We all had a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again next year!

Mom's Little Helper


Averie really is my best helper! She is constantly helping me with Ashton. She is good to take out the diapers and play with him when mom needs to get something done. She also loves to help in the kitchen with the cooking and the cleaning! She is always saying to me "Mom, what can I help do?". I don't know what we would do without her around!

Smart Baby!!!

At night we usually let Ashton wind down in his jumper. Well lately he jumps himself right to sleep. I will hear the jumper pause and look over to see him fast asleep. After the pause he always wakes up enough to realize what he's doing and starts jumping again! I guess it's one way to get him down for a nap!
