Grandma Turns 94

This woman is truly the rock in our family and an inspiration to all. I can honestly say I've never heard her raise or voice nor have I seen a frown on her face. She's the happiest, calmest, most patient and loving woman I know. Such a role model! Surely she passed on her genes to me, right? 

Mommy's Little Helper

Helping Mommy deliver gifts to the neighbors. Other than throwing one candle in the cement, luckily it didn't break, she was a wonderful elf! 

You win, AK. You win.

Some days you just give in. You just throw your hands-up and say, "Yes! Absolutely you can brush the dog with my hairbrush and lay on me while I blow dry my hair!" And that day was today.

Always a True Lady

Morning Cartoons

Day Dreamer Dreamin'

Day dreamer back in action! This was AKs favorite bed for the first few months of life. We took it out to let our friends, Benjamin and Anna, use it while they were over playing and Avery Kate discovered that it's the perfect relaxing spot to watch movies. 

Happy 28th birthday, Daddy!

Tenley's 5th Birthday Party

Sleep at 4 am? Who needs it!

Ear. Infections. Stink! Sweet Avery woke up at 4 am and I tried off and on for an hour to get her to sleep. Finally, at 5 am, she won and I put her in the bed with the dogs and me since Daddy was hunting. Boy was that fun! (Insert sarcasm) after about 30 minutes of repeating, "ZoZo! ZoZo! ZoZo! Momma! Momma! Momma!" AK gave in and fell asleep. On top of me! Other than the constricted airway, I slept great.
