Work-out Queen

Avery came in the living room about 5:10 this morning while I was working out and asked, "what are you doing mama?" I told her exercising and she looked at the TV and laughed. Then she started kicking and jumping around doing the arm movements. She then went and got a wand out of her room and came back like she was the instructor! She is such a hoot! It's so hard to get on to her with that sweet little face........

Valentine's Weekend

We had a really great (full) weekend. Saturday, Avery and I went to Emma Grace's b-day party while JB and JP went to the deer camp. It was great to see Shannon and her parents and Emma Grace is such a cutie! Saturday night, JB grilled out steaks--which were soooo good. Sunday we went to eat with Gumps and Weezie for Gump's 60th b-day and Monday we went to my parents and had a great lunch and shopped for Avery a dress and shoes for Joseph and Jessie's wedding and Easter. (Thanks Mom!!) I am blessed to have such a wonderful husband, children, family and friends!!

Love the 1 UR With!!

Today was John Parker's Valentine's Day Party at school. They had a good time eating chicken nuggets and making ice cream sundaes. And here's Avery enjoying her balloon!!

Super Bowl '09

We had a Super Bowl party last night with some good friends and their children. It was alot of fun, eventhough my team didn't win :(. The kids had a blast playing together and Avery and Anna Veston doing their cheers. And yes, John Parker and I still wore our Giants jerseys!!

Happy Birthday Dad!!

We went to my parents' house yesterday to celebrate my Dad's b-day. We had a great time, and of course John Parker had to "help" Papa blow out his candles and open his presents! I hope my health and looks are as good as my parents when I'm in my 60's.....Happy Birthday Dad!!

Fun, Fun

John Bret (bravely) took John Parker and Avery to Mason's b-day party at Pump it Up on Monday. He went down the big slide with Avery at least a dozen times and she loved it. Here they are asleep in the car after getting home (with Avery still clutching her balloon)--and playing around with the "redneck teeth" from their goody bags. Avery didn't quite get the hang of putting them in!!

The Belt Makes the Man

John Parker has wanted a belt for about a week or so. It was all he could talk about. I finally went out and got him one and he wore it all weekend. I think in his mind it makes him grown up. He's already growing up too fast as it is!! Here's my little GQ and the infamous "belt"!
