Shut the front door...

TWO posts in one day? Who knew?

I think perhaps my MOST favorite person may just be in this post. And, we just may be doing one of our favorite activities to do together. Can you guess who my MOST favorite person is? It's some pretty amazing video people. Do enjoy.

Evelyn

Another favorite of mine!



Miss Evelyn just celebrated her first birthday, and boy was it a great party! You should check out her cake HERE. I sure wish I had more opportunities to kiss Evie's sweet cheeks, as she lives in Oregon and all, but I think she is sweeter than sugar and I can't wait to see her again! Loves to you Miss Evie!

Happy Birthday To YOU!

Today is one special day for my favorite #3! It's Sophie Bean's birthday! My niece is adorable, and I fully admit I am partial. I am actually partial to all my nieces, I think they are all gorgeous...BUT today is Sophie Soph's big day and we're celebrating in style. A lunch of pizza and bread sticks, swinging in the backyard, and playing with cousins is a great way to celebrate. Some of my MOST favorite things about Sophie are:

- Her perfectly round head.

- Her dimples when she smiles.

- Her obsession with Lauren, aka Lolo (or as she says it: Doh Doh). This is a serious obsession people. Lolo is all she talks about, or so Christa says...seeing Lolo today may have been the BEST birthday present ever, I don't even need to get her anything! :)

- The fact that she answer's "yeah" to every question you ask her...

- She has the squishiest cheeks, and I love to give them smooches!

Happy Birthday Miss Sophie! We sure love your stinkin' guts!

P.S. I think it's positively fantastic that Sophie gets to share her birthday with one of my FAVORITE authors...Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss! How great is that?

Audrey

Bet you couldn't guess who my favorite #2 would be. Since we spend almost every waking moment together, it's easy to see why my girls are my favorites. #2 is also a bit sassy, but she's also a tender hearted girl. She seems to get her feel bads hurt quite often, because she takes everything WAY too seriously. She wouldn't hurt a fly, usually, so she doesn't understand "why people are mean". She asked me this just the other day, "Why are people so mean mom?" I wish I had a good answer to that. She's a lot like her mother in this way...at least I think I'm nice. Am I nice? I sure hope so.

Audrey has had a busy, busy week. We like to refer to it as Audrey's week o' fun.

Last Wednesday, praise heaven, we finally lost our first tooth! She's been asking me for a year now when she is going to lose her first tooth...and the day finally came. We had to call almost everyone we knew...grandma's, grandpa's, aunt's, uncle's, cousins. I've never seen a girl so excited. Especially when, nestled under our pillow the next morning, we found TWO whole gold dollars. It was a joyous occasion.

This same week a letter came home from school. "Your daughter Audrey has been awarded Principle's Pride for Patience." Really? Patience? Now, this is not exactly Audrey's strong point at home. But, we're pretty glad she has no problem with this at school! Way to go Audrey. Yesterday we attended an assembly to recognize all the other students that received Principle's Pride in February. It was great...as part of the assembly they had a group perform called Opera Works. They presented the students the basic principle's of Opera, and they performed a small show...The 3 Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf. Audrey was chosen to help with make up for one of the pigs...perfect for Audrey. She loves makeup and all things girly!

Upon arriving home after school that same day, Audrey announced that she was also Student of the Day! Life couldn't be any better! All her classmates drew a picture of Audrey and the teacher assembled it in a book. We spent a while looking at it, definitely saving that one in the memory book.

Holy cow! Best week ever! I love that favorite #2! She's such a hard worker, always wanting to do her best, and cute as a button to boot! Who'll be #3? Just you wait and see.
