Grandma Visit

My mom came to visit this past weekend and we had a great time. We went to Mt. Juliet and got Aubrey's pictures taken. She is also the photographer behind some of those family pictures I posted and my assistant in the Aubrey pics. She saw Aubrey in bed with a boy!!!! Ahhh, Kyle is mad about this picture. I love Aidan's face, because Aubrey was squelling and Aidan was just looking at her like what is she doing!
Our Grey's Anatomy breakfast, we lounged around and Aubrey even watched Grey's. We start em young.

LOVE this picture!!

Reading Aubrey the recordable book she got her, we love it. Thanks Grandma. Oh and she's also wearing an outfit we got that says Grandma makes me happy but she pooped on it every time we put it on her so I don't know what that means exactly.

Our late night outside outlet shopping. It was cold outside so we had to throw a blanket over her. Aubrey is the best shopper ever. She didn't fuss one bit.

Aubrey doesn't like to eat or anything.

We had a fun time beating Kyle at Words with Friends and can you tell we're competitive I mean I even took a picture. I think this will be the last time I beat him so I had to have soem proof.

Grandma slept in Aubrey's room and got up with her in the middle of the night!!! Thanks Grandma for a few great nights of sleep. Aubrey was her little snuggle bug.

We had a backseat babysitter and it was so cute to watch Grandma sing Aubrey to sleep after church.

Thanks mom for coming and we can't wait for the next visit from Grandma! Love you more than the hot chocolate I'm drinking right now :)

Banana Neck

I know, weird post title but it's exactly what happened. After eating bananas the other night, Aubrey had them all over her neck. Kyle said they looked like big moles. It was pretty funny. Here's our moley banana child, you can barely tell but in person it looked a lot bigger.

Mommy Monday

So this happened the other day and definitely ONLY happens if you're a mom....f you can't tell, let me zoom in so you can see closer.If you still haven't figured it out yet. Aubrey has poopy foot. Aubrey pooped while in her bouncer. I was getting ready in the bathroom and she was just bouncing away (this is our usual morning routine) and then I heard her poop. I didn't realize the extent of the pooping until about 5 minutes later when I went to get her out. She had somehow pooped all the way down to the foot of her pajamas. She got a little bit on her butt but it was actually impressive how the majority was in her foot part. She even danced it into the carpet and I had to clean that up too. I didn't even know where to start so I left her in there until I had a plan of attack. She went straight into the bath tub and got all cleaned up, well after I of course took these 2 pictures and texted it to Kyle and a few other people. Kimberly texted me back and said I was awful for letting my daughter marinate in her own poop while I took a picture. I told her I had to otherwise Kyle wouldn't have believed that it actually happened.

Oh how I miss Harrogate

I never thought I would have said that, but I miss Harrogate. We went back last week for a honors ceremony where Kyle was inducted into Alpha Chi. We are so proud of him and were glad we got to visit with friends at church.

Kyle and one of his teachers, Dr. Wieting.
Kyle being inducted. Virginia was a great babysitter throughout church and had a hard time putting her down. Aubrey just smiled and loved getting so much attention. We also visited with Mildred who I used to sing in the choir with. Mildred's birthday is June 24th which was Aubrey's due date so she said her birthday present came early. It was so good seeing her. We also got to stop by Becky and Ryan's and visit with them and the girls.We can't wait for the next visit back to Harrogate!!

Christmas Cards

After going to a portrait studio to get Aubrey’s pictures taken we received 9 free greeting cards with the package. Well I think we have more than 9 family and friends that we want to send a Christmas card to this year so after seeing this on my friend Megan’s blog, Dinos are not Extinct. I thought it was a great idea. 50 free picture Christmas cards just for writing about Shutterfly on your blog. That’s easy enough. Shutterfly is a wonderful, easy to use website that I've ordered pictures from before. I'm excited to order Christmas cards from this year and not to mention how affordable they will be. They also have some great gift ideas and we may just get something since Aubrey is pretty cute to put on an ornament, mug, or even a calendar. The fun part was taking the pictures to put on this card since obviously I can’t steal the pictures from the portrait studio so we decided to make our own portrait studio at the Fisher’s apartment. There wasn’t even a sitting fee, haha. We got Aubrey all dolled up and took some pictures. They turned out great, now the hard part is deciding which ones to use.

Then since I told Kyle I was going to use the family Halloween picture of us dressed as the Flinstones if he doesn't agree to taking more pictures, he agreed to taking some after church. We took some family shots by an old building in downtown that I had seen a photographer taking some senior pictures at. So I stole the location and I'm glad I did. I know it's not the usual sit in front of a Christmas tree pictures, but I like things different and I love how they turned out.
So if you want a great deal you can blog about Shutterfly’s Christmas cards and get 50 free too!! Just click here. You can also share on twitter or facebook here.

Sure to put a smile on your face.

So I saw this video over at another blog I read, GeorgieGirl, and it definitely made me smile. It's pretty long so if you even fast forward to the end you'll see what happens when the song ends. I wonder if Aubrey will dance like this in a few more months.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Here's an adorable video of Josalyn singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star to Aubrey. Don't you love the pjs Dad picked out for Aubrey. Camouflage with ruffles on the butt. You can tell when he picks out what she wears.

Visit from Aubrey's Cousins

My sister and her family came down for a visit. We had a great time and Aubrey loved having kids to watch and to play with. We went to the waterfall on Friday that is only 15 min. from where we live. We also played on the playground because we had unbelievable weather.

They brought new toys for Aubrey, which she looooves.
Uncle Josh and his girls.
At the falls.

Playing at the playground. Slide+static=crazy hair
Being lazy in bed.
Saturday we just hung out. Noah and Jos called Aubrey, "Baby Aubrey", it was really cute. Josalyn loved playing with her real life baby doll she helped give Aubrey a bath. She did a great job taking care of baby Aubrey.
Pajama Party! They were watching Night at the Museum and Noah told me to take Aubrey out of the room because there was a scary part that she wouldn't like. Saturday Aubrey also went to her first parade and we hung out downtown, but I didn't have my camera and we didn't get any pictures. We had a great time and we were sad when the weekend was over.

New Cousin!!!

Aubrey is going to have a new cousin!!!! My sister Kathy is due with her second at the beginning of April. We're really excited because Kyle will have a rotation in St. Louis in May so we will definitely get to hang out with the new little one for a whole month. She just had a sonogram last week and it's a...........BOY!!!
Caden is going to be an awesome big brother! Congrats Kathy and Bill, we can't wait to meet the little man.
