the stuff they say...

I've gotten in the habit of posting little conversations/happenings I've had with the girls as my FB status. Thought I'd share...

Gave the girls some Dr. Pepper with dinner.
Edy Rose: I love that stuff. It makes me burp! (proceeds to belch 3 times in a row)
She's gonna make some gentleman real happy one day! ‎

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edy: I don't like it when Daddy calls me Melonhead. I want him to call me Princess Melonhead.
Graham, you got that!?!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eavesdropping...
Edy: I'm not gonna hold baby Joy 'til her black belly button thing comes out. I'm just gonna pet her.
AG: *sign* She's a human. You don't pet humans.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm glad my big girls are so eager to help with Joy, but the fighting over who gets to throw out the dirty diapers has got to stop. I accidentally threw the last one out and they both started crying. /not.kidding./

Edy brushing hair...
Me: Who taught you to do hair?
Edy: Rock Obana (Barack Obama)
I died.

...the stuff they say.

surprise!

In a few days, AG will be turning SIX!  Six! I tell ya! Where, Oh where, has the time gone!?!

My family was so sweet to throw her a surprise birthday party.  She has never had a surprise party and it was really, really fun.  Her facial expressions were priceless.

Here's the birthday girl!

S-T-U-N-N-E-D!  AG is such a "literal kid" and having a party on a day other than her actual birthday was hard for her to comprehend.  Once she understood the concept, she was thrilled to be celebrated! T-H-R-I-L-L-E-D!

 

 

 

 

 

This was such a fun day and one we won't soon forget.  Thanks Mom, Dad, Kelsey, Josh, Gran, and Papaw for everything!

family fotos

This weekend, the girls and I headed to my parent's house for a little family time.  My Gran, Papaw, Josh, and Kelsey came down, too.  It was a wonderful few days and I was thrilled for everyone to meet Joy.

Along with the pics I took of Josh and Kelsey, I also took a few family shots. 

Tat, Gaga, and the girls

I hate that Graham had to miss this little family get-together.

Up next:  The family threw a surprise birthday party for AG.  More to come...

Kelsey + Josh

I was thrilled to get the opportunity to take some pics of my sis and bro-in-law, Josh. Plus, it's good practice using my camera and a chance for me to try out some new editing techiniques I've learned. (Thanks again, Ashley!)

 

Thanks Josh and Kels for letting me practice on y'all.  You're great subjects which makes me look a whole lot better than I really am!
