My Girls...

All the way from Phoenix

The girls' Pawpaw made a special trip to Oklahoma to see the grandbabies and the girls could not of been more excited! Avayah and Adalynne got to go with their Daddy and Pawpaw to Clinton to see Granny Polly, Meme, and Papa. They had so much fun visiting, playing, and romping around with Daddy on Papa's four wheeler.

A little road trip....

The girls' great grandparents, Meme and Papa, made it back to Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago after spending time in Colorado...so the girls and I along with Melissa, John, and Jessie loaded up and hit the road to Clinton. After we inhaled Wongs (the best chinese eva!), we had such a nice time catching up, while the Avayah, Adalynne, and John ran wild all over the house! Amelia was definitely loving some Meme too; she just cooed and smiled up a storm!

The Big Girls!

Avayah and Adalynne have been so busy lately!

Avayah is really loving school and can't wait to be a Kindergartener next year! She is counting like crazy and can write her name as well as everyone else's (Mommy, daddy, Addy and almost Amelia) from memorization. A few things she is learning are letter's sounds and simple math...like coins and such. I'm so proud of her! She is loving being the biggest sister diva in the house! We also cut her hair again into a cute chic bob!

Adalynne has energy that could fuel an entire city. She is up before everyone in the morning and is usually getting into some sort of mess that will take mommy countless hours to clean! Like today, when I found both the girls in their closet with the door shut at 6:30 a.m. Before I opened the door, I heard their little whispers, which is a sure sign of mischevious trouble! So I sucked in a breath and cracked the door open. To my dismay, there were my two girls in their pj's sitting on the closet floor with a bag of Tyson frozen chicken tenders (thank goodness they were fully cooked) between them. And of course in their hands were half eaten FROZEN chicken tenders!! I didn't know whether to immediately scold them, laugh, or just GAG! There is definitely never a dull moment in this house, that's for sure!

Amelia's 2 Month Check-up

So I know it's almost cliche to say, "I can't believe that my sweet little girl is already 8 weeks old." But it's just so true. Where has 8 weeks gone??

I have had so much fun with her over the last 8 weeks...I'm so in love with this girl! She is so full of life and and so patient with her big sisters, who love her-I mean squeeze, touch, and try to feed her-it's amazing. And yes I literally mean feed. I guess Addy Grace thought that her baby sister was just not getting enough to eat that she actually tried to feed-meaning almost accomplishing shoving a fruit loop in Baby Amelia's mouth!

There is so many stories I could share over the last eight weeks, but this post may never end if I travel down that way, so I'll stick to the update. Amelia had her eight week appointment last week and it went great!

She weighed in at 14 lbs 10 oz, yes we all were shocked. But what can I say she loves to eat a lot!! She also had grown 3 3/4 inches too! She is such an active baby, she has taken up making the most adorable sounds...I really think she thinks she is getting her 2 cents in too. She hardly ever cries and is such a snuggle bug. Her eyes are getting lighter blue everyday and her hair is just as dark as her big sister Avayahs'. She has the most adorable cheeks and button nose! She follows you and your voice where ever it travels too!

Avayah still asks me a thousand times a day if she can hold her, while Addy is consumed with making messes that she hardly notices she is there sometimes! Here are some pictures of Miss Amelia Rose!

Family Time!

So last week brought some special family visitors to our home! My brother Johnny came to the city with his sweet girlfriend Lauren for a wedding and they stayed with us. Needless to say...my big brother Johnny is such a wonderful uncle, who my girls just adore. While Lauren was at the wedding rehearsal, they rallied Uncle Johnny to play some soccer outside and even watch Toy Story 3 with them. This is Amelia and Adalynne with Uncle Johnny, (Avayah was at the movie theatre with her bestie Maddy watching Megamind!)

Also, Grammi brought the girls and I some delicious Ted's last week too! We can't say enough how much we love having her over! The girls got to spend some time playing and eating with her before she had to leave to volunteer at the Regional Food Bank!

Halloween Party 2010

Today the girls got to have a fun Halloween Party with their friends at our home!! They had fun playing, coloring spooky color pages, and eating yummy cookies & banana ghosts (Thanks Melisa!)...and because of these crazy thunderstorms going on last night and this morning...we added creepy darkness to the party when the power went out half way through!!! Ahh..the memories!
