Not this year!

If you'll look at last year's post about Santa, you'll see that it didn't go over too well with Aubrey Kate! I did manage to stick her in his lap and get a picture. Anyway, this year, it ain't happenin'! She won't even look at him and she says that she doesn't want him to come to our house. So, we decided to write him a letter. Since this summer, all Aubrey Kate has talked about getting for Christmas is a pink guitar. Michael took her to a music store back in June and she must have seen one. She really has a heart for music, so I hope Santa gets his letter and can get his little elves to make her one!! :)

My Birthday

My birthday was last Saturday, 11/29. Despite Michael having to work, it was a great day. I took my two little sweeties out to eat lunch and we watched a few Strawberry Shortcake movies :) After a long day at work, my big sweetie came home and baked me a birthday cake (strawberry, my favorite!).

Daily Happenings

Wow! Two posts in one day! That's never happened before! Anyway, thought these pics were cute. One of Daddy and the girls, some of Aubrey Kate and her first night in her "big girl bed," and another of Aubrey Kate being treated like a princess! (occasionally, i will let her watch tv while eating breakfast!) Enjoy!

Pumpkin Patch "08

We went to the Pumpkin Patch last week w/the pre-school group from church. We had a great time. Thank you Tammy for watching Marley so that I could go on the hay-ride w/Aubrey Kate!

Tupelo

We took a trip to Tupelo this weekend to visit my grandmother (Mamaw Cantrell). As a child, I always looked forward to our Tupelo trips. I'm so happy to be able to take my own children up for visits, as well. This was Mamaw's first time to meet Marley (we named Marley after Mamaw Cantrell: Clara Faye/Marley Clara). We had a great time visiting and eating (Mamaw is a great cook!). We also went over to the Veteran's Memorial Park. My grandfather served in the U.S. Army and there is a paver stone on display in his honor. Looking forward to next time!

Sweet Treats

For the past couple of Thursday afternoons, Aubrey Kate and I have had a "sweet tooth." So, what to do other than to make some sweet treats, for Daddy, of course! Last week it was homemade chocolate chip cookies. This week, it's rice krispy treats, with a twist. We made them with cocoa krispies (if you've never tried it, they are great!). Here are a few pics of the Chef!

Happy Days

just a few cute pics!

Pictures

We got some beautiful pictures made of the kiddos. Jeanelle Carraway out of Madison, MS took them and did a FABULOUS job! Here's the link, check them out.

Me and The Girls

Well, it's been almost 4 weeks and I had not tackled the challenge of taking both girls out by myself. Our first trip out together was Thursday afternoon. I loaded them up and we drove out to Raynor and Robin Edwards home for a visit w/them and their new baby donkey! It was the cutest little thing! Robin enjoyed time inside with Marley, while Raynor and I took Aubrey Kate out to play w/Frosty the baby donkey. We had a great time and look forward to our next big outing!

Who's Who?

Found an early pic of Aubrey Kate - which one is it?

The New Dew

On July 1st Marley Clara Dew was born by uncomplicated c-section. 8#10oz, 21in. Got to leave a day early (July 3). Got some time off, its so great to be able to stay home with them and help out.
