Calling Georgia

Today Audrey spoke to her Grand-Mama in Georgia (my dad's mom) for the first time and she called her up all on her own.

Audrey was roaming around with my Dad's cell phone and kept yelling hello into the phone like she always does...then she put it on speaker (while pounding the buttons) and we realized she had someone on the line...my Grandma! I heard a sweet little southern voice saying hello right back to her!!! It was such an unexpected and sweetest surprise!! I recognized the voice immediately, the voice of my one and only southern bell!! So, Grandma got to speak to Audrey for the first time today, thanks to Audrey.

Zebra Girls

These beach buddies were workin' the stripes! Friends who shop together, stay together! Audrey LOVES Jamba Juice. It's her big treat. Jamba has the cutest little cups and they even cut the straws in half to be just the right size. Audrey is very serious when it comes to her Jamba treats, once she gets her cup she doesn't give it up until she's slurped every last drop and completely destroyed the cup looking for more.

Momiversary

Kyle and I's wedding anniversary was the Friday before Mother's day. This happens every year (I should have planned that better) and KT always does his best to make this weekend extra special to celebrate both. KT always leaves presents for me in the bathroom, it's kinda became our random tradition. So I found this beauty on the bathroom counter Friday evening. It is a bouquet of flowers and gift cards to all my favorite places. I thought it was very thoughtful and fun. I gave KT a 10 out of 10 for this one. We then headed over to the Melting Pot where we celebrate our momiversary every year. Kacey and JJ babysat for us ... a priceless anniversary gift! Audrey had such a fun time at their cutest little house.

The melting pot always leaves a card and flower on the table if you tell them ahead of time that you are celebrating a special occasion.

We always get "The Big Night Out" which includes four courses of wonderfulness. Here is KT showing his love for the cheese.

Thanks KT for five years of fun and adorableness. You are the best hubby and daddy...I really got the full package! How did I get so lucky?!

PS...kt dresses audrey every sat. and sun. morning. The common theme is always boy and this day it was "taxi cab boy"

Burritos & the Beach

Burritos and the beach is a favorite combination of mine and I got to enjoy it with three of my favorite girls! We started our day at our "secret spot" and then headed to the beach for some fun in the sun.

Eating a breakfast burrito while sitting on top of a flower...every girl's dream!

Audrey LOVES feeding animals. Aud feeds our dogs every morning and feeds the ducks with dad every chance he gets. She hasn't learned to quack yet but she does know how to bark so she barks at the ducks/birds when she sees them. Audie does know how to say duck though (duddie) she uses it for all winged creatures.

Here is Audrey feeding the birds at the beach.

She ran around until she could run no more...

The Month of Kacey

My sister in law Kacey got married this month and we celebrated all month long. I LOVE Kyle's family and had such a fun time with them this month getting ready for Kacey and JJ's big day at the Temple.

We started with a super fun, yummy and adorable wedding shower thrown by Kellie, Kacey's sister.

Next we spent a morning at the Temple where Kacey and Sandy (cousins and BFF's) were able to go through for the first time together.

That very night we celebrated with yummy food, LOTS OF LAUGHING and fun games. Isn't Kacey the cutest bachelorette?!

Then it was time for the big day. It was absolutely PERFECT and the bride was GORGEOUS.

Easter 2009

We had a jam packed Easter Sunday, full of love, fun and Easter bunny Surprises!

Audrey and I discovered our very first Easter baskets in the bathroom. KT had made us each a little basket all on his own. It was so cute of him. It cracked me up to see what he had picked out for each of us.

Here is mine...


Here is Audrey's...so cute and funny.


She loved her pretend blackberry with ear piece.





Next we opened Easter baskets from the REAL Easter bunny.

Here is what the very generous and thoughtful and wonderful Easter bunny left for KT... an Easter tie and some new shoes (MUCH needed).

Here is Audrey's Easter basket from the once again, very thoughtful Easter bunny...


Audrey has an obsession with magnets and stickers, so she oooed at all her new favorites. Audrey loves things she can peel and stick.


We enjoyed a huge Easter breakfast with my family.





Audrey enjoyed her breakfast with her toys.


We even let her join in on some dessert...she was allowed one ear.


These guys brought Aud. the CUTEST Easter goodies. Thanks David and Julia!




In nursery Audrey enjoyed the Easter Egg hunt but had no interest in fighting for the eggs. She was totally content with a crayon she'd brought out from the nursery room. She had one egg in her bag and the other kids had like ten. She just putted around after the kids for the rest of the hour eating what they left behind. I love it when she eats after other children...it's my favorite (not).




When we got home from church it was all I could do to get her dress off before she fell asleep. This girl was POOPED. She wouldn't give up that egg so I let her take it down with her. She held onto it for her entire nap.

My entire family went to the Thompsons along with the Bullards (JJ's family) for Easter dinner. Easter dinner was SUCH a treat for Kyle, Audrey and I because we got to enjoy it with all of our favorite people. I seriously can't put into words how much I LOVE, LOVE Kyle's family.

I forced Audrey into pair of jeans b/c it was a bit chilly. Kellie took this funny picture b/c I bought Audrey jeans just like mine. We were matchy matchy.

Audrey opened a little basket which was actually the cutest little bunny purse from Grandma and Grandpa Thompson. Aud immediately removed the goodies and filled it with her two favorite toys at Grandma's house, Mr Mozart and Mr Beethoven, little statues that are actually aunt Kellie's trophy's. Audrey then insisted she wear it on her wrist with one strap only.
