-"that girl needs to stop cryin' or she won't get a rose," as we're watching Bachelor aka Will You Accept This Rose
-"so what did ya do today?"
-"so, i just need to talk to ya"
-"daddy just throwed my barbie toy on "pervus"
-"LOOK what daddy did, he made a big mess!"

she's a bossy, dramatic, chit chattin' girl with only one volume... LOUD
BUT... she is the cutest little girl i know

PaRtY!!

Christian turned 17 last week. Can't believe he's that old. We had a little party for him with a delicious dinner and of course, cake and ice cream. The cake was my first attempt at a recipe my friend gave me. We named it the Hostess Cake because it was loaded with yummy cream filling. Mr. Christian was spoiled, as he should be!

He has to look cool, what teen can walk around and act any different?!
And she can act however she wants to, at least that's what she thinks.
Aniston picked out these candles just for Christian. She LOVES him and also likes to tease him, and he returns the favor! She was so excited to show him the cake, and she kept saying "Christian is going to love the cake and he is going to say oh thank you Aniston for making me a cake!".

Lookin' cool, again.
Papa is always game to be silly with Aniston!

speaking of heels...

When Shelbi and Scott came to visit, we snuck in a shoe shopping trip. This is just one of our finds...


Aniston LOVES these heels. We made a rule that they can only be worn to church. This girl loves shoes, especially heels, so she was so excited to get a pair of her own!!

head over heels

We refreshed Aniston's memory on summersaults, and then she practiced by going all the way down the hall and back.







I think her head was spinning after she finished!!

We were up by our old house today, and decided to stop and get our hose. We pulled into the driveway and Aniston let out a huge "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!". She then started to throw a mini-fit! We found it pretty funny. Just goes to show how bad the place really was.
We pulled out of the drive way, and she was much happier! She's pretty dang funny!!

some fun in February

We took advantage of the last free day at the zoo for the winter. Megan came along making the trip that much more fun for both Aniston and I! The crowd wasn't as bad as I thought, and Aniston was a gem! she didn't make a peep when it was time to get off the "caroself", and that's a first for her! Whenever we asked her what she wanted to see next, she would ask if we could get food first and then see the animals. She really wanted cotton candy, but unfortunately the zoo was out for the winter months(wink wink). On her adgenda, besides getting food, was to go in the stinky building and see the snakes and go in the water with the alligator?! It felt so good to go out and do something, this winter stuff needs to go bye bye.



Before we left for the zoo, Megan brought a box of the BEST cupcakes in the entire world! My Birthday celebration started a day early thanks to my sweet friend and those dang good cupcakes!
This year I was spoiled by my friends and family. I'm not a big fan of getting older, but I am a fan of all the people that are so good to me!
My parents made me the yummiest dinner and got me my first ice cream cake! Miss Aniston was having a hard day, so her and Papa snuggled while the rest of us partied!

when Shelbi comes to town...

It's always a party when Shelbi is around! We had a blast shopping, laughing, eating, and chatting non-stop.
Shelbi always has cute accessories and she is always willing to share...


Aniston was pretty excited to have a sleep over and share her bed with Shelbi!


Time flew by, which it always does, and now Aunt Shelbi and her baby bump are on their way back home. Can't wait for the next visit!!
