This little beauty is 15 months old and into everything! She is so independent and strong-willed. We have to beg her for kisses or to let us hold her at this point, but oh how sweet are those little arms that reach out and those little legs that come running as soon as we get home everyday? LOVE it!</div>

I just had to share this video clip. Avery and her Daddy have done this since she was big enough to crawl. He would chase her around the living room going "booga booga booga" and she'd just SCREAM and run (or crawl at the time) to me. Now that she's talking more, she has started calling everything "baby". She'll get down in our dog's face and say "Hey Baby!" then move her little fingers like she's trying to scare him and say "booga booga booga"! Ha! It is hilarious!! Wish I could get THAT on camera.</div>

Last week, I walked into the living room and Avery had strewn Fruit loops all over the living room. I got her out of her highchair and told her what a mess she'd made and how we need to clean it up. She reached down, picked a few up, looked up at me and said, "I got it!" then proceeded to throw them in the garbage. I sat there with my mouth wide open and said, "Did you just say 'I got it'?" She smiled, said it again, and kept cleaning up her mess. Whoa! My baby just said her first sentence! Not ready for her to grow up so fast!</div>

I ended up taking it away by the time she'd devoured half of it in hopes that it wouldn't hurt her tummy, and of course, she let me know how unhappy she was with me for taking it away!</div>

Saturday night we spent time with Ricky and the rest of the Scarbrough bunch, and the kids had a TON of fun playing on the slip-n-slide and in the pool. I WISH I'd have taken pictures of all the fun they had (especially when KK went down the slip-n-slide with Dean!) Dean loved the slip-n-slide and Avery wouldn't have anything to do with it!</div>

Then Sunday we woke Wayne up early (or the girls did) with the happies they had for him. I think the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart, and the girls had worked really hard on a book they wrote and illustrated themselves about their Daddy and them. It was so sweet. I loved how they said he was their hero and how they talked about the things they loved to do with him and the sweet things he does for them. </div>

I tried my best to get them all to cooperate throughout the day for a picture with their Daddy, and every time, someone (either Avery or Presley) did NOT want to have their picture taken. This was the best I could get. So sad...</div>

The grand finale of the evening was the outdoor movie screen we set up inside my Mom and Dad's garage (so they could watch the movie before 9 pm!). We set everything up like a theatre with a popcorn machine and movie theatre sized candy. Even Presley's cupcakes went along with the theme! </div>

We didn't have much time to get away this year for a family vacation, and while a beach trip was on our agenda, we couldn't find a spare week that wasn't already booked solid or affordable. We asked the girls where they'd like to go, and they wanted to get a cabin at Yogi. We have visited in the past for the day when our cousins have stayed, and after hearing them say how much they enjoyed it, we decided to go for it.</div>

Our cabin was really nice with two bedrooms and a loft for the kids. It was however NOT child-proof lol so we were constantly trying to keep Avery off the stairs.</div>

Time is flying, they're growing up on me, and I'm just not ready! It's hard not to get emotional when you feel like you blink and your babies are now 1st and 2nd graders. I hate it. I miss the days of little chubby toddler legs and giggles and picnics outside during the summer. I loved every minute of being a stay-at-home Mom to these girls, and now that they're in school and I'm working, I miss the time we had together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The girls' last two days of school were half days, and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to spend some time with them. I took off work, and we made plans to make the day all about them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They made the decision to eat at Mi Hacienda for lunch, and this Mom almost choked when the waiter came to take our drink order and Presley decided to order an alcoholic beverage! The waiter and I looked at each other with big eyes, and I said, "Excuse me?" Presley just smiled up at the waiter, pointed to the picture of a blue martini and said, "I want this one!" LOL...the waiter just laughed and said, "Honey, I don't think you're quite old enough for that one." So what did Presley do? She pouted, in good ole Presley fashion, of course! Come to find out, the only reason she wanted it was because it was blue. Can you blame the girl? Who wouldn't want a blue drink? Ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After lunch, we did some shopping damage at Claire's. The girls both had gift certificates to use from Christmas, and they both got brand new sunglasses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, we were off for haircuts with Aunt KK. Makenzie sat down in the chair and told Katie she wanted her hair cut, and she didn't mean just a trim! She told her exactly how she wanted it. It took us forever to get her hair to grow out and thicken up a bit in the first place so I just kept repeating to myself "choose your battles..." and gave the go ahead to Katie. I knew I had nothing to worry about...Katie's great, but this haircut sure did make my little girl look a lot older :(</div>

Yep, I'm in trouble...she thinks she's a teenager. With the haircut and new sunglasses, the jewelry, and the new shirt (all of which she picked out on her own because she is cool like that-according to her), she really does look like a big girl. She reminds me all the time that she is no longer a baby, and she talks like a little adult, but I keep reminding her that she is still my baby, she always will be, and she better just get over it. </div>

On to pedicures...gift certificates again, thank God! There is no way I can afford to keep our nails/toenails manicured and polished for the next 15 years. For three of us just to get pedicures it was $75, and we didn't even get to the fingernails! Better get used to doing them ourselves or Wayne will go broke trying to keep us pampered and stylish!</div>

Presley, the free spirit that she is, decided one color on her toes just wouldn't do. She had to have three! She was very specific about which order the colors would go in as well. </div>

Makenzie on the other hand, went in knowing exactly what she wanted as usual. She picked out her colors and gave specific directions to the manicurist. Cheetah print :) The design cost me an extra $5. Go figure...she is definitely my child. I can see our future now, and it's not going to be pretty (or cheap).</div>

Hi! I'm Jessica...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14276866757456216996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581661813025987250.post-88201740261782800652013-05-23T15:27:00.001-05:002013-05-23T15:27:20.745-05:00Softball<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Makenzie moved from t-ball to coach pitch this year, and to my surprise, Presley was allowed to join her team as well! We'd signed Presley up for t-ball, and I won't lie, I was a bit stressed thinking about how on Earth we'd go to two different games and possibly have to play several nights a week, but I didn't want to keep Presley from being able to play. In the process of filling out their paperwork, I had requested the coach Makenzie had last year (she's great!) for both girls because I wasn't sure if the coach would stay with t-ball or move to coach pitch with her niece. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily for me, the people processing the paperwork noticed this detail and called me before making out the teams. They asked if I would be comfortable allowing Presley to play with 8 year olds even though she was only turning 6, and I said, "Of course! She's as tall and as tough as the rest of them!" I can't begin to say how thankful I was that they allowed them to be on the same team! It was quite shocking especially since last year they wouldn't even allow Presley to play t-ball even though she would be turning 5 two weeks after the season started. </div>

</div>
<div align="center">
Time just goes way to quickly in my opinion. It seems like just yesterday my baby started kindergarten and now, here she is graduating. She has had a great year and has loved her teacher so much. Wayne and I couldn't be more thankful for the school our girls attend and for the teachers there who love our girls like their own, who share God's love with them daily, and who pray for and with them. It's the next best thing to homeschooling, and I am forever grateful.</div>

Graduation was simply precious. To hear and see those children recite scripture from memory, sing praises to God, and get excited over receiving the medals they worked so hard for all year (for memorizing approximately 50 Bible verses) was priceless. </div>

Avery's birthday party was on a beautiful, sunny day thank the Lord! We had the party at my Grandparent's camphouse, and thanks to my Aunt Dawn, I actually got all the decorations up in time! I have some snapshots of the décor, but I won't post a ton...just giving everyone a glimpse of her day!</div>

Yes, I know, it is taking me forever these days to keep up with this blog. I'm surprised I even have the time to take pictures of my kids much less post them here. So sad. I never want to be so busy that I can't enjoy my children so I intend to make every effort to enjoy their childhoods even if we are waist-deep in this crazy roller-coaster ride we call life. I promise I will post pictures of what we've been up to as soon as possible! Seriously, we are BUSY, but we are making the most of it and enjoying every minute. Please continue to pray for our family as we continue to step out on faith with our children's boutique. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
We cling to Jeremiah 29:11, and we are trusting that God has big plans for us and for this store. Our prayer is that God will use this store for his glory, that through our work here others will come to know him, that we can be a help and comfort to those in need, and that our hearts will be open to whatever it is he calls us to do.</div>

The store is doing really well, better than we'd hoped at this point, and all we can say is THANK YOU for being so supportive and helping us spread the word and shopping with us. We are constantly on the lookout for more affordable options, and we are partnering with local ladies to carry a good many clothing options from right here in MS. We LOVE that we're able to help stay-at-home Moms provide for their families! Thank you for helping to support their efforts!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AND more exciting news...we have officially launched our website! We have TONS of out-of-town and out-of-state customers shop in our store each weekend, and have had many requests for a way to shop with us from home. We listened and we hope this website will be an easy way for you all to find your favorite products and brands. Because we're a new site, it will take us several months to be picked up by the major search engines so please make sure to bookmark the website in order to find us easily. New inventory will be added almost daily. Make sure to check our specials page for all items on sale. Please help us spread the word about our website, and please continue to recommend us to your friends! We soo appreciate it!</div>

My heart just breaks as I type this. It seems like yesterday that I had Avery. I'll never forget the pure joy I felt when they placed her in my arms. I was so extremely happy, and I didn't get the hormonal, emotional mess after having her that I had after having Makenzie and Presley. I was so blissfully happy and in love with this sweet girl...still am! I am NOT ready for her to be turning a year old so soon, but I have loved every minute of watching her grow and learn new things.</div>

Avery Kathryn, Mommy and Daddy love you so very much. You are such a joy and a blessing. We hope you always know how very much you are loved.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I always try to go all out when it comes to my kids' first birthday parties. I know the party isn't really for them since they have no clue what's going on, but it's all about the memories. Avery's party will have a shabby chic theme. Can't wait...just hope I can find the time to get it done! Pictures to come soon....</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Here's the invite thanks to Marlie (again)! Have I mentioned we have a great photographer? LOL...I don't know how Marlie managed to get the photos she did from our little mini photo shoot, but if you'd have been there you'd totally agree. This little girl was everywhere! She wouldn't sit still for a minute or even smile, but Marlie is good, I tell ya! </div>

She took her first steps at the end of her 10th month. At eleven months, she's on the move. Wayne acts like he's going to get her when she's walking, and she tries to run from him. Need to get video of it, but she scares me to death, and I have to be there to catch her when she takes off and lunges for me!</div>

Where is the time going? So hard to believe my first precious baby is already turning seven. We celebrated with cupcakes at school and bowling with the bestie, Ava. Mak was sick on her actual birthday so we had to postpone her family party, but we were able to celebrate with everyone a week later. Good thing the cake froze well and was delicious after thawing!</div>

Three days after Christmas we bought a children's clothing boutique! Polka Tots has always been a store I have adored, and in the past I have daydreamed about buying it lol. When a friend mentioned it being for sale in conversation one day, I jokingly told Wayne we should buy it. Imagine my shock, when he said he thought we really should look into it. As it turns out, the owner of the store actually works in the same building with me at MSU, and we didn't even know each other! After talking with her many times, and praying over the decision for several weeks, we made an offer and praise God, she accepted! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are so VERY excited to start this new adventure in our lives. This has always been a dream of mine, and I am so thankful that my hubby recognized it was the perfect opportunity for me to give it a shot. We know God has a plan for this business, and we just pray that he blesses it and allows us to use it for His glory.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please be in prayer for our family as we adjust. Being a Mom to 3 kids while working a full-time job at MSU, attending grad classes, and running a business full-time is not an easy undertaking, and I know there will be struggles. Please pray for understanding from our kids as we settle in to a new routine, clarity in making decisions about our future, and growth for the business. We can't wait to see what God is going to do!</div>

She is growing up way too fast! To my shock, her teacher informed me several weeks before their Thanksgiving program that Presley would be singing a solo during the program, but asked me not to say anything to Presley about it! Presley's teacher is amazing, and she knows what a little diva Presley can be (they sweetly say she's a sensitive child). They planned to have her sing the solo if she wanted, but on that day, if she got anxious or didn't want to do it, they'd pull. I was really hoping she'd do it, and to my surprise when they rehearsed the program in front of the whole school, she did it! That made me extremely hopeful that she'd go ahead and do it for the parents on program day too! Come to find out, she had the whole school laughing hysterically because she delivered her lines in a British accent..ha! Makenzie came home telling me how much Presley embarrassed her! I'm still laughing as I type this!</div>

I encouraged Presley to NOT use the British accent for the actual program for Makenzie's sake (I personally think the British accent would have been a riot), and my sweet girl did such a good job!! She lead her class in all the songs, and her sweet solo was just perfect.</div>
