Avery's Birthday

Happy Birthday Avery!!

Avery turned 4 this month. She was very excited about it. On her birthday, she said "I don't feel 4". Apparently being 4 is a major milestone for her. She keeps reminding me when I say she is too small for something that she is 4 now. We had a family party at home. She is such a sweet girl and she is growing up so fast.

May Happenings

A lot has been going on lately. Recently, Allie was one of two kids to represent her class in the Bible Bowl at school. She did well and we are very proud of her.




















Jackie, my mom, Allie, Avery, and I went to see Mary Poppins at the Fox. It was a great show and my kids first time at the fabulous Fox. It was a long show, about 2 1/2 hours. Avery did great. It was a fun time and a special memory. We also made a stop at the Varsity on the way home. YUM!
















Allie had field day at school. Jackie came and kept Avery and Ashton so I could be with Allie. It was hot. I think it is a rule that is field day is the hottest day of the school year. Allie had a good time. Tug of war is always the kids favorite game. Also, at the end of the day, Coach turns the sprinklers on the football field on for the kids to play in. They love it!!! The kids got their faces painted. That is what the black stuff is on her face.

Allie had character dress up day for Book Week at school. She went as Laura Ingalls. Her dress was Chris's mom's dress when she was little. She looked really cute.

Avery had Fun Day at preschool. She was so excited about this day. They had inflatable slides, horses, and games. The kids sang songs for us and got their certificate. It was really cute. She had a great day.

Ashton went with us to the Fun Day. She enjoyed watching the kids. She really loves kids, especially her sisters. She gets so excited when they come home. She took long nap in her stroller at Fun Day and was a really good baby.

Asthon is 6 months old

Ashton turned 6 months old. I can't believe how fast she is growing. She is such a happy baby. She is starting to sit on her own and is rolling all over the place. She really enjoys playing with her big sisters. She is such a blessing to us.

Grandparent's Day

Arlington had grandparent's day a few weeks ago. Chris' mom and my parents all went. Allie was so excited to have her grandparents there. My niece and nephew came with my parents from Alabama. The girls were so happy to have them too. It was a great day and we got some really cute pictures outside, thanks to Sally Ray.

Father Daughter Dinner

Chris and Allie went to the Father Daughter Dinner at Arlington. They had a great time.

I'm back

Ok. I am going to try and keep this up better. Life has been pretty busy with three kids. I never really thought of having 3 kids as a lot of kids, until I had 3 kids and now I don't know how you have more that 3. The girls are doing well. Ashton is almost 5 months old and growing so fast. Allie and Avery really love her. Allie is a big help and really enjoys playing with her. Allie is enjoying first grade. She has been cheering for Arlington basketball this year. Avery is having fun in preschool and is keeping us laughing. She is really a funny kid. Here are a few random pictures from the last few months.

Well, we have a new baby! Actually she was born a month ago and I am just updating my blog! Maybe that tells you how well I am adjusting to having the third kid. Things have been pretty busy.

We had scheduled a c-section for the 13th. The last month of doctor visits they were monitoring my fluid level. It was normal, but on the lower side of normal. On October 8th, I had an appointment. I dropped Avery off at preschool and headed to Atlanta for my appointment. I had a bag packed at home, but I had a few more things to put in it. I almost took it with me, but I thought they won't keep me today. When I got to the doctor that morning I had to wait a long time. I was very frustrated because my cousin Andy and his wife Joy were one floor down with their new baby. They were going home that day. My plan was to get done with my appointment, go visit with them for few minutes, go pick up Allie from school, and then go pick up Avery. Well, when I saw the ultrasound nurse, she said, my fluid looked pretty low. Then when the doctor saw the ultrasound he said he didn't see much fluid at all and that we needed to deliver. I asked if I could go get my bags and kids, but he said no. I needed to go be monitored. He wasn't sure if I they would take the baby that day or the next day, but I had to stay and be monitored. So I called Chris at school and told him we were having a baby soon. He got Allie from class and headed home to pick up Avery and get my bags. It was about 11:30 am. When I was leaving that doctor, my OB doctor called and said there was an opening at 4:00. So I headed down to labor and delivery. I asked them before I checked in if I could go and see Andy and Joy's baby. They let me and I was very glad that I got to see them. He is such a cute baby! Chris and the girls got to the hospital petty quickly and Chris' mom came too. My mom was heading into work when I called her. She headed back home to get my dad and their bags. The doctor ended up taking me early and so Ashton was born at 4:05 that afternoon. She weighed 8 lbs and 8 oz. and was 20 inches long.
