Day Photo Shoot

My camera has been "out of order" and I hate it b/c I feel like I'm missing so much! Sooo...my sweet friend and co-worker Sabrina so graciously agreed to take some shots of the girls with her awesome camera! I want one so bad!!! She took a bunch, but I only have 5 to give you a sneak peek! I LOVE THEM!

My beautiful girls are growing up sooo fast!

I'll post more as soon as I get them!

Aubrie 5th & Mimi's 55th Birthdays

On June 9th, we celebrated 2 very special ladies' bday! On the 9th, our family and extended family celebrated at the Fish Fry. The weekend before, we had Aubrie's party at the Bowling Alley....originally scheduled for Gymnastics Powerhouse. She was very excited about her gymnastics party, but when we got there to set up and decorate, we walked in the building and it literally felt like we were walking into an oven! The people that worked there had gotten there about 30 min. before the scheduled party to turn on A/C for a 17,000 sq. ft. building! CRAZY! We knew there was NO WAY that anyone there could enjoy the party, so at last minute we moved the party to the bowling alley! I was amazed how well everything just fell into place and everyone had a great time! Here is her cake that a friend of mine made! We call her the "Cake Boss!" She is awesome! It tasted just as yummy as it looks! The 2 bday girls!Blowin' out the candles!Aubrie & Gran GranEmma & NannyA beautiful picture of my mommy!My friend Molly was taking pics b/c my camera was messed up! Thank you sooo much Miss Molly! I would've had NO good pics of my baby girl's bday if you hadn't stepped up to the plate and taken these! Sooo...since I wasn't the photographer, there was actually a picture of me in the mix!My baby daddy...Not sure why none of us thought to have a 4 generation pic done, but here's 2 of the 4 anyway...I noticed when looking at these pics that Gran Gran, Mimi, myself, and Aubrie all have the exact same smile...too cool!

Emma and the woman that spoils her absolutely rotten! Aubrie, I love you so much! You were my firstborn and I've been in love with you since the moment I learned you were growing inside me! Words can't express the love I feel for you. I never imagined a love like this could be possible! You are growing and changing everyday and are always amazing us with your sweet smile and beautiful spirit!

End of the Year School Programs & Other Randomness...

My Aubrie completed her first year of school in PreK. I was very hesitant to start her in public school when she really didn't have to go, but it was the best thing I could've done for her! She had a rough first 3 wks, but after that she loved it and made such sweet friends. This was at the the "Moving Up to Kindergarten" ceremony. The little program that they did was absolutely precious, but my camera went dead right in the middle of it and the few that I DID get were blurry! I was very upset! But here are the few I was able to get that weren't all messed up! Aubrie & Daddy

Aubrie & Mommy

Letting their balloons go to represent "moving up"The next week was their end of the year festival! So much fun! I am so blessed to have a principal that allows me to be gone for awhile when the kids have something like this!

I don't want to miss a thing!

Aubrie is in to taking pics, especially ones of herself!

This cracks me up! There was a whole series of these, but this one was the funniest!Aubrie & her friend drawing with sidewalk chalkEmma had her end of year Kiddie Kollege program and once again, my camera wasn't cooperating! I really think it is going out b/c I've used it so much! Sooo...here are just a couple from that night....again, very disappointing!Aubrie & Poppy in the audienceI seem to still be able to get decent shots outside. We usually go to Club Kerby to swim, but the kids enjoy their little kiddie pool that daddy got them for "in between" times.

This is Ridge! He and Emma are about 2 months apart and are bigtime buds! There were in Kiddie Kollege together this year and had so much fun! She prays for her friend Ridge every night. He and his parents were over the other night and this is how we found them in her room! It's cute now, but we'll have to be watching them in a few years! ;)Just a funny pic of the McCarter girls on family movie night!
Both of our girls LOVE fruit and this was the first watermelon of the season! I wasn't kidding when I said "other randomness" in the this post title....

Hope everyone is making sweet memories this summer! We sure are!

Mother's Day & Promotion Sunday

Our church always promotes the kids' at the beginning of the summer and it was kinda hard to swallow this year due to the fact that Aubrie is now in the Kinder & 1st grade class!!! That just seems sooo big! She had the most amazing 4 yr. old teacher that stayed with them for the whole year, so that is why she is looking kinda sad! But she is loving her new class now! Emma moved up to the 3 yr. old class! My babies aren't babies anymore! Aubrie & Kate...together since birth (just a month apart).
I'm late on posting Mother's Day pics. I'm just behind period with this blog!
Me with the love of my life!

God bless the man that will proudly wear girly things on his head!

But really, does he have a choice?

Kaitlyn & me

Aubrie & me

Emma & me...so she wasn't too thrilled about having her pic made with mom, but....
she definitely made up for it with this pic! I don't even know who took this pic....prolly Aubrie, but I found it when I was uploading pics and I love it!

So blessed to be the mommy of such special angels sent from heaven!

Spring Fling @ the Woodall's

I am so behind on posting! Sorry! In April, we had our annual church Spring Fling at the Woodall Ranch! Here are Emma and her buddy Addison playing on the porch. I wish Emma were looking, but she had a different agenda. Lots of horse riding!
Michael with Kaitlyn & Laney
They even got this ol' gal on a horse and everyone got a kick out of Michael leading the horse instead of me doing it myself. What can I say? I couldn't be more of a city girl!
Michael and Emma

Kaitlyn & Grayson

We also enjoyed a fun hayride! Aubrie & her friend since birth, Gibson...
Tyler and his mommy Tammy
Ridge & his mommy Amy
Daddy & Emma Mommy & her girls...who will NEVER look at the camera!
Emma had the most fun running up and down the ramp outside the Woodall's house!
One of my new fav pics of Emma...so cute that it made the blog header! Hope you like it!

We are so blessed to have such a wonderful children's program at our church and people like the Woodall's to open their home to us for such fun things! Thanks to Louie & Marilyn!
