Our dog Roxie..

We enjoyed a visit recently from my grandmother A.K.A. Toots...We got colored sand for our sandbox and it turned Emma blue.

She looked like a Smurf!We went bowling in Sulphur Springs a few weeks ago with our church.

Aubrie & Grayson had a great time!The team...the older girls were so sweet to help the younger ones!In between turns, Aub did some dancin!Just a random pic of Emma...spaghetti anyone?I think Aubrie is looking a lot like my mom these days.All dressed up in their new sun/swim gear that Mimi got them!
As I mentioned in a recent post, Aubrie got a Barbie fishing pole and rubber boots for her birthday and we went fishing at our friends' pond on Father's Day! A hot, but fun afternoon!

Here's Aubrie rarin' to go!Big sis!Little sis...my blue-eyed girl!Waitin' on a bite!This was Daddy's thing...mom just takes the pictures. He is such an incredible daddy and couldn't wait to take them! I actually think he was more excited than they were!First catch! Look at Aubrie's face! Priceless!She wouldn't go near the fish once she caught them!Paul & Kaitlyn after her first catch of the day.Emma is still too little to fish, but she loved watching and cheering on her sisters.Fisherman/Fashion Diva!!!

Summertime is here....

Love the outdoors in the summertime!!! The McCarter sisters enjoying their picnic!

See our new patio furniture. Check out the new indoor/outdoor carpet too! LOVE IT!Silly girlies.These girls can talk their Poppy in to anything!Tellin' a whopper I'm sure!Before the new carpet....she's actually laughing even though it looks like she crying.
About to cruise!Ethan came over another night and got in on the water hose fun!

My baby turned 4 yesterday!

So these pics are out of order, but just pretend you don't know! Aubrie turned 4 yesterday, but her party was on Saturday. We had it at "Princess Parties." I highly recommend this place for all of you that have little princesses. It seems kind of high at first, but when you think of all that you don't have to buy to get ready for a party, it is well worth it. Plus, the set up and clean up! That's a huge plus!!! They did the punch, all the paper goods, the party favors....all we had to do was bring the cake. They even do the invitations! Aubrie had a great time! Here she is after opening her 2 things that she had asked for: A Barbie fishing pole and rubber boots to go fishing in the mud! Too funny!Waiting for the other princesses to arrive!Princess Brenna My little 4 year old princess! UNBELIEVABLE!

Princess MaiceyMiss Emma...they didn't have dresses to fit her, but she wasn't very interested anyway!
One of her fake smiles!

I was going to do a really sappy post for her birthday, but I've already teared up the last several days when I think about how fast she is growing up! So, I'll skip that! Aubrie, I love you so very much and am so thankful that God has blessed me with your life and that he has given me the priviledge of being your mommy! I still have to pinch myself everyday when I realize the blessings in my life!
