Brooklyn's Sweet 16

Brooklyn had a great sweet 16 and she had lots of people there to share it with her.

Beautiful Brooklyn with her cake.

Belee, Charlee, Ava, Aunt Susie and Saylor

Yummy, rolls!

Later that night, I snuck in a picture with our little darlings while they were eating their snack.  I knew that couldn't run away from me in their high chairs.  =)

Happy Birthday, Aunt Belee

We had a GREAT visit with Kimberly and Ava this afternoon! Today is my sister, Kimberly's birthday...so I baked a cake! =) ...red velvet...YUM! September is a busy birthday month in our family. It had been way too long since we'd had all the girls together and they had a blast playing with Ava.


Ava and the girls! She gets more beautiful every time I see her! =)

The Birthday Girl

Aunt Belee and the girls! Look at those laughs!

Homecoming and Happy Birthday, Aunt Mandy!!

On Friday, we took the girls to all the Lexington homecoming festivities. They had a great time at the parade and the game. They did a lot better than we expected at the game, but we still left after halftime. They LOVED dancing to the music from the band!! Saturday, we "watched" the Alabama game and ate popsicles. =) Today (Sunday), we celebrated my sweet sister, Mandy's, "21st" birthday. We went to Meme and Papa's house and ate DELICIOUS lasagna!!! and birthday cake (Willa says Happy Cake!) We got to see Meme and Papa, Cameron and Dylan, Brian, Tracy, Brooklyn, Braxton, Mandy, Zac, Ian and Willa! When we got home we had the best visit with Pops and Mimi G!!! Then, Big came over to help us with baths and to play. What a GREAT weekend!!!!

AWE! They're sharing! =)

Charlee could NOT keep her tongue in her mouth! It was the funniest thing!

Yummy!

More, please!

My latest attempt...Mandy's birthday cake...I've honestly started dreaming about cakes!

The Birthday Girl!!

Saylor thought it was good...

This is just about all that Charlee wanted. She just doesn't like it!

Birthdays and Party Prep

Over the weekend we really tried to get a jumpstart on the girls' birthday party preparations. We made their tutus, practiced cakes, and sent out their invitations. LOTS of teamwork! Brent is the best Daddy!! =)

This is the first tutu we made. We did it on an elastic band and this is when the band broke!!!!!!!!!! We decided that doing them on ribbon was best.


Here's one of our practice cakes. We loved working with the fondant, but we've decided that regular decorating icing is probably gonna work best for the girls eating them. The fondant got kinda gummy when we ate it and it's really not too baby friendly.

Me and my girls! once again....POOR Saylor!

Pops with Charlee on his 60th birthday! Charlee gave him the best gift...letting him hold her! =)

Saylor and Pops

Look how HAPPY!!!

Wiggle, wiggle!! Big had just walked in and she wanted to go get her!
