I am so behind once again. Hopefully this summer I can update more. Avery finished tee ball a few weeks ago. She had so much fun and loved her daddy being her coach. She did really well this year. Addison was not very happy that she couldn't play, but she will be able to next year.

Yesterday was my dad's birthday, but I'm just now getting around to posting. We celebrated on Sunday with lunch at TaMolly's, and then ate at his house last night. I just wanted to say how thankful I am that I was blessed with such a caring dad. I can honestly say that he would do anything for me or anyone else in my family for that matter. I think the picture below justifies that. (sorry Dad) I have so many good memories of my dad from growing up, and I hope that my girls will have the same kind of father/daughter relationship that I have. Happy Birthday Dad. I love you!
We had a wonderful Easter weekend. The weather was beautiful Saturday. We went to an egg hunt at my friend, Jana's, parent's house. There were about 20 kids there, and they hid 1,200 eggs. Let's just say the girls had more than enough candy when we left there. Thank you Joan and Roger for having us over for your annual egg hunt that allows us to remember a very special angel.
After the egg hunt we went to my in laws house for the girls to color eggs for the egg hunt on Sunday. We went to church Sunday morning and had a wonderful service. There were 260 people packed into our church. What a blessing! My mom came along with us to see Avery perform in the Easter program. Addison would have loved to, but she wasn't quite old enough. Grandma even made it, and she was on call this weekend.

Pepaw and MimiA few weeks ago I went to visit my best friend from high school. She has two daughters also, so we were excited for them to get to play together. We don't get to see each other nearly often enough. We ate at McDonald's first and then went to a really cool park that the girls loved. We attempted a trip to Old Navy, but that didn't last long (I wonder why.) Here are a few pictures from the day.

In July of 2004 my sister in law, Christine, and I found out that we were both pregnant. We were so excited that we would get to go through our pregnancies together. We later found out that we had the same due date. In October we both found out we were having girls. We couldn't wait to see the great friendship our girls would have. Since she had a previous c-section, they scheduled a c-section for February 28th. If I hadn't had Avery by March 3 my dr. was going to induce on that day. We thought that would work out well so our husbands' parents could be there for both births since we lived 3 hours apart. That would have been way too easy though. On the night of Feb. 27 I went into labor and had Avery on the 28th, 3 hours after Kylee was born. Avery says they are twin cousins. Here are a some pictures of the girls over the past 5 years.
Five years ago we were blessed with the first of our two very special daughters. Avery has brought so much joy to our lives, and I couldn't imagine life without her. She is definitely my mini me. I can't believe that in just a few months she will be starting school. We love you, Avery.

February 2010The girls finally got to see the snow they have been asking for. It started snowing this morning about 9 and as of 7 tonight it is still snowing. They were at daycare when it started, and Mrs. LaTonya was brave enough to take them outside to play. We took our kids out at school for a little while and you would have thought we were in Alaska. They were so excited and couldn't stop talking about it. We got out of school early today, and as soon as we got home Avery was ready to build and snowman. Addison decided she would rather have a snack and watch Dora, but I made her come outside for a picture anyway. I think the girl would choose food over anything. After making our snowmen we had a snowball fight and made snow angels. When we got so cold we couldn't stand it, we went inside with the clean snow we had collected for snow ice cream. Addison had fallen asleep in the mean time so Avery helped me make it. It was delicious. We are supposed to start school at 10 in the morning if we go at all so we are going to enjoy sleeping in tomorrow morning. Hopefully the snow will be here for a little while so Addison can make a snowman of her own.
