Just Because I'm Officially Caught Up!!

Nana took these pictures before she left Saturday. We never have pictures of the 3 of us!!

I am officially caught up with the blog!! I hope I can keep myself caught up, at least for a few weeks, anyway! I'm hoping the Blogger app will help me out. I hate not to post many "real" pictures from my camera, but apparently that extra step is what keeps me from posting.

Weekend with Friends & Daddy's Racing Experience

For Father's Day, Tia and I cooked up a plan to take buy our boys a ride-along at the race track. We headed to their house Saturday afternoon.

Emma was so sweet to Avery Claire!! 

Can you tell what they have in their mouths?? It's gum!! The girls had to have some from the gum ball machine, and Avery Claire could not be left out of the gum chewing!! She chewed it like a pro, which makes me wonder if someone may have slipped her some before??!!

Emma read their bedtime story. They had big plans to sleep together, but after Emma fell asleep, Avery Claire was over it and ended up with me.

We headed for the track this morning. We had to wait, and wait, and wait some more! But there was a lot going on, so we were pretty entertained for most of the time. We were thankful for metal chairs and tents to sit under!

 

 

 

 

I think the boys enjoyed it (and their girls were so proud!)!

Maybe next year they'll brave the driving experience! They were pretty shaky after their 190 mph rides yesterday and said they couldn't imagine driving!

We loved spending time with the Lawrence's and can't wait to see them again. Time with them makes me miss them that much more!! Your open invite stands, so y'all better make plans to come here soon!!

Meet (Life-Size) Barbie

Tammy, who works in the library with me at school, has a daughter, Aryn. Aryn still had her life-size Barbie, who is in really good shape! When she decided she wanted to part with her, she asked me if Avery Claire would like her....

I'll let you decide what she thought of Barbie...

Avery Claire's Visit to CC (Without Us!!)

Monday, we took Avery Claire to meet Nana and Papa so she could go visit them for a couple of days. A couple of days turned into FOUR nights! And I'm pretty sure she would still be there if we hadn't insisted that she come home!!

She had a ball and came home good and spoiled!! We're still trying to get her straightened out!! :-)

We missed her like crazy, but we did get a lot done!! One night, we cleaned!! According to Dusty, I spent the whole time in front of my monogramming machine, which is partly true.

We did spend some much enjoyed, much needed quality time together! We sent Avery Claire a picture of us before we saw Man of Steel in 3D. We told Nana to tell her it was a grown-up movie or we would have never gone without her....as if she cared what we were doing!!

She's on her way home today, much to her and everyone elses' dismay. She's been gone long enough and we need her back home with us!!
