shoe obsession

Ayla LOVES shoes - it's probably the age.

But, she's recently started taking them off and putting them on again. This was the first day that I caught her doing it all by herself!!!! She even had to find/choose the correct shoes out of 4 and then put them on the correct feet. I thought maybe it was a fluke, but it's not. She does it all of the time, now. My big girl with a big obsession for shoes.PROUDSTILL PROUD pointing at and saying 'shoes'teaching sissy how to do itevie's working hard! she did finally get it, and she gets better at it every day.

community spray park

i was READY to get out of the house one day - so i convinced my friend, emily, to go to the community park with me! the kids were excellent & i think baylor may have finally warmed up to the idea of spraying water!

braxton loves babies! i missed the kiss just after this. just the other day i found a way to get to this park on foot! i am so excited & it's only 1.5 miles away!!!! i already jogged there and back this morning. too bad i don't have a triple jogger. either braxton will have to ride his bike or we will have to have someone accompany us! so, get ready to see lots of pics from this arena.

memorial day

it was a tad crazy this day (unlike all of the others - ha). david had to work until 2. we had friends over to cook out, and i was collecting clothes from friends - to give to other friends :)

cousin's wedding

my sweet cousin, kim, asked ME to be in her wedding many moons ago. now her daughter, lauren, asked my girls to be in her wedding. so adorable. lauren and kim chose and found the tulle and flowers - aren't the colors amazing?!? and then i made the flower girl tutu dresses! i think they looked great on each of them. the twins rode in a turquoise wagon down the aisle, pulled by one of the older girls daddy and evie
