January Randomness

A couple of random photos from January.

On New Years, this little sweet pea managed to make it until midnight. Such a sweetie. My dad and Leigh Ann host a New Years Eve party every year and we love being able to attend.

Cuddle time the next morning. We spent the night at my Dad's house so we could stay up late and put Miss A down early.

A comparison of the weather from our old hometown to our new hometown. Poor Rochester friends had one of their worst winters ever.  I've never seen so much snow. Look at that wind chill!! Yikes!

 As a little side note, around this time, Louie and I both got the flu. Louie had it over New Years and I got it shortly after that. I ended up spending the night in the hospital and then being on a couple days of bed rest. Everything was fine but I was so, so thankful for family. Everyone helped out and we could not have managed on our own. I am continually thankful for family nearby. After living away from family for 6 years, I have a very appreciative perspective. :)

A trip to visit the famous Dr. Bob. The girls did great but Dr. Bob has been practicing for a little too long. His eyes glazed over a bit when he was giving me his "what to eat and not eat" speech regarding the girls teeth. He is getting close to retiring. Victoria, Sarah, and Andrew all grew up seeing him!

Leigh Ann came with us on this visit because I was still recovering from the flu. Thanks Leigh Ann!

The girls LOVE helping Daddy cook. I think it stresses Louie out but I know the girls love every minute. :)

Zoo day!

With Cooper and Clayton and Miss Andrea at the zoo.

This is a common occurrence at our house. The girls really enjoy playing dress up. This is Merida and Cinderella (notice the broom).

Aubrey's first selfie. She got a hold of my phone and took about 37 photos. This is the only one she got of her face.

32 of them were of the top of her head and the ceiling of HEB.

A few more were of my hand. Love my little peanut. :)

This is a picture of the ladies from my Side By Side Bible study group. SBS was such a blessing to me in Rochester and I'm really enjoying this group here in SA.

Aubrey's Two!!

We celebrated Aubrey's 2nd birthday this year at Chuck E Cheese! She was obsessed with it every time we drove by and I was starting to feel pretty dog-gone preggers so I was all for the easy route. An evite and pre-paid party package to the rescue! Here are the photos from the fun and over stimulating event. :)

Me and my sweet girls (and Mr. Cade in my belly)

Watching the big mouse get ready to throw some tickets.

Aubrey was a "Birthday Rockstar." Kinsley was insanely jealous and has informed us we need to go to Chuck E Cheese for her birthday so she can be a rockstar.

Blowing out her two candles!

Kinsley was a fan...

Aubrey was not. She liked to check him out from a distance. This was too close.

Opening Mimi's gift

Aubrey's beautiful quilt!! It matches all her bedroom stuff. :)

Mommy fail. The birthday kid gets to go in the ticket machine and try to catch as many tickets as possible while they are spinning around you in a crazy tornado vortex. It's loud. Very loud. Bad idea. Aubrey recovered and then we tried it with Kinsley… mommy fail #2. She lost it too. Ooops. I don't think any permanent damage was done. 

Aubrey on her actual birthday showing off her current obsession (other than Chuck E Cheese), her bellybutton.

Aubrey's gift from Rahrah. She LOVES this shirt. Way to go Sarah. :)
