Wordless Wednesday: Backyard Fun

We enjoy spending time in our backyard in the evenings cooking out, swimming, playing with the dog and even eating popsicles. This was how we spent our evening yesterday...

Two weekends ago we celebrated McKenna's 5th birthday at a "Girly Girl" party. All the girls were pampered with princess outfits, hair-dos, make-up and nail polish. Then they put on a runway fashion show and showed off a little of their dance talent. Ashlyn loved every second of it, including her walk down the runway. She could have fooled the audience into thinking she has done this a time or two since she looked like a natural as she strutted down in her high heel dress up shoes, did a little turn at the end of the runway, then posed with her hip popped; all done with a beautiful smile on. Avery loved the make-up and nail polish but did without the dress up clothes or spot light.

Almost Wordless Wednesday

10/14/08 Texas Day at Avery's school. Mimi found this suede vest probably 20 years ago when a child left it at the Kangaroo's Pouch, a children's clothing store previously owned by my family. Mimi saved it all these years and gave it to Ashlyn a couple of years ago. Now, it's Avery's turn to wear it. It completed her cowgirl outfit for Texas Day where the kids rode rocking horses, played pin the tail on the horse and other western activities. Avery wore her hat and vest only long enough to take the picture. She is my 'strong-willed' child! I didn't even attempt to put the pink bandanna on her.

Now this is a scary thought... in about 12 or 13 years, this might be the real thing!!!10/15/08

Wordless Wednesday, Cooking southern-style

My little chef-in-training is helping me make cornbread. It must have looked and smelled good to her since she kept wanting to take a big bite right from the spoon.

Ashlyn's last day of school at Canyon Creek

This was not a posed picture. Avery loves to mimic everything her big sister does. I think they were watching t.v.
