Summer has Come and Gone

I guess you can tell I’m back to work! I spent the last couple of weeks playing with my Boo and reading every other spare moment I had. So, I’m way behind on the updates. And, I’m just going to say it, I’m a bad Aunt! Our sweet Baby Girl Brinkley has been here for over a month and I’m just now blogging about her. She was born on July 21st at 8:03 a.m. And Aunt Deidra was there by 11 to be the first to meet her. I was so excited to meet this baby girl that I had my hair and makeup done for two days just anxiously waiting for her to join us! And to say she is beautiful is an understatement. I love this baby girl so much! Congratulations Aunt Kristi and Uncle Michael. We are super excited for all the years to come!





This was the best summer ever! I miss our morning walks! We were up and at’em almost every morning. Just quality mommy and baby girl time and I can’t believe it’s all over. We had play dates and lake time galore this year and I couldn’t have asked for a better time with Alexis. I feel like she learned so much too. This child is all her own! She’s bossy, stubborn and extremely demanding. Did I mention she talks back and she can’t even talk? I never quite understood how people could say that their one year old was bossy and stubborn. I’m here to admit I was wrong! I tell her no and SHE points her finger at ME! She slaps only ME in the face and she smiles! I can’t swat her hand because she thinks it’s funny. I’m not going to be able to give this girl an inch. But on a positive note, her favorite past time is reading books! While that makes my heart melt, even with her new books that we just recently bought, she still wants to hear the same two stories. But, its snuggle time with her and I can’t resist. It’s the only snuggle time I can get because she is always on the go and she does NOT want to be held. She wants to walk all on her own.


I can't believe William is SIX! This birthday was a hit. I hope you had a great day! We love you! As you can see, Ryder still cries when he gets around Alexis. He better watch out because if he keeps this up, he's going to miss out. There are some boys in line ready and waiting.

A loves to play the piano. Too bad it isn't staying around. Uncle Larry should be taking it back any day now so we can turn this room into a play room!

This girl loves her car...And her purses! You can't see it in the picture, but she is carrying my purse. She loves to hold them and she holds it on her arm, just like Mommy! She's so smart!



Pony Rides!

We tried ravioli and spaghetti mac again. I don't know what it is about the red sauce, but she just doesn't dig it. She loves the ravioli that isn't dressed in red sauce, so I guess we will just keep trying. She looks cute eating it, though. She has learned to use a fork and if you have one and she doesn't she gets really upset. In the top right picture she is trying to see my face behind the camera. I guess she thinks I'm playing peek-a-boo.

We had lunch with Aunt Kathy and Mrs. Mariely a while back. She wasn't up for smiling, but Aunt Kathy was glad to see her.
