Birthday sleepover

The birthday sleepover was successful. Bayleigh could not come due to being sick. We had 5 girls under 6 there. I had all kinds of things for them to do to keep them busy! Thank goodness! They were wired up the whole time. We did homemade pizza Friday night with movie and popcorn. Sat morning was pancakes and making bead necklace. in between times were coloring, coloring and more coloring!! Sat morning was dress up thanks to the Grammy collection!

Camping Time at Seven Points

We had a great time camping. We left the day all the rains started. Lydia had never rode her bikeso much and Rachel played with rocks and a cup for hours! Hope to go back soon!

Easter at Preschool

I went to Lydias preschool to help hide eggs. Of course Rachel went too! It is so cute to see Lydia being around her friends at school and her personality! We had a good time! Rachel would hide some...pick up some....hide some...etc.

Here is the girls on Easter.I have tones more.Sorry to the faithful bloggers!

The girls are trying to pimp it out. Avery will play around the house with these. The girls fight over wearing them! Here they are trying to put their hand on their chin to look cool, this pic is how it turned out!!!

Hungry Hungry Hippo Fun

Avery bought this for the girls on one of his Daddy-Daughter days when I have to work on a Saturday. As if the girls did not get enough toys, this game found its way in the shopping cart at Wal-mart. Figure out who's having the most fun in the picture.

My Babies

I love this picture. They are growing up quick.

More Christmas 2008 Fun

The kids have so much fun doing nothing. it doesn't take much to entertain them. Thanks to Aunt Karen for bringing the Easy Bake Oven. The Wii games were lots of fun for the adults! It looks like the Ashby's have a family tradition started. I can't wait for Gatlinburg!!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

The 12 Days before Christmas My Babies gave to Me

When Avery and I were dating, he started this 12 Days Before Christmas thing. He came by my house every morning and left a small stocking on my door knob each labeled with a number. It counted down the 12 days before Christmas with a small gift in each.
We have done this alternating doing it for each other each year since. This year it was his turn so the girls helped pick gifts for me.....Sing the son when you read it...it makes it more fun...

Christmas Parade

It was so much fun at the parade. All the kids did so good. They got out some and walked while throwing candy. Joann did an awesome job on the clown costumes for the girls! Hats off to Josh and the Jaycees truck for picking up a Raggedy Ann who got away from the bus!!! Next year we can add Bert to the bunch!!

Babies Growing Up

Time flies. The girls love their feet pajamas. Lydia especially loves hers and wants to wear them every night. Our hardwood floors are finally finished. Thanks to Mama for letting our family stay with her for a couple of days. It felt good being in my old house and spending the night and getting ready there. It brought back lots of memories.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday season!

Day at the Park

The girls had a good time. Weather was perfect that day. They were acting silly! They are so cute. I guess I am partial though.

next week starts our hardwood floor installation. I hope it is a good experience. This weekend is rip up carpet and get it ready. The real hardwood with sanding , staining, sealing kind. it will be a mess but better than the sippy cup spill mess of a carpet now!

Brighton Emersyn Stovall

Welcome baby Brighton to the Stovall family. We are so glad Misty and baby are doing well. Little Brighton's belly has been giving her problems but prayers that it is not too serious. I know Misty is glad to have her Mom and Dad down from NewYork to help spoil the baby. The jury is still out on whether she resembles Misty or Seth more. I think she is a perfect mix!

Camping Fun

We were able to go camping. We hope to some more before it gets too cold. The girls loved it of course. I have found out that fire smoke keeps mosquitoes away! We will have a fire from sun up to sun down! Things went a bit smoother with knowing a little more what was needed and to make sure the camper was stocked. This about as much of roughing it as I want to get. The most fun was the visits from family. Mimi and Don came by and Grammy and Papaw came by in the bus and brought cool glow-in -the-dark night sticks! Having others to share in the fun was the best! Anyone who wants to join us in camping....let us know!!!!

Tumbling Class

The girls are in Tumbling class once a week. Lydia is aBig Dipper and Rachel is a Little Dipper. They jump, tumble, flip, balance...etc. I tried to get Lydia into soccer....she said no....tried ballet/ tap....no...so this was a yes !

I tried to help Lydia with her cartwheels at home but only put a big scrape on her face. Oops!

Lydia is in the pink/ black bottom outfit!

DIXIE STAMPEDE !!!!!

If you have never been to Dixie Stampede it is a must! The girls were so good the 2hours we were there. You get served in a different way and there is no utensils!! We got a ticket for Rachel so we would not have to hold her in our lap the entire time. It is money well spent!
