Birthday Party!!!!!! Payne's birthday party was this afternoon. We celebrated a bit early to accommodate the school kids, this was the only available date until July, we will be out of town on his birthday and so we could share the pool and costs with birthday friend. We shared the party with one of Payne's classmates. This was the least stressful party I've ever hosted. Seriously. Here are a few pictures.

The other birthday boy!

Some of the boys fighting over a little girls teapot. go figure!

Avery playing butterfly dressup. She was looking up at her antena.

Jannie-Pie puts up with so much from Avery its a wonder the dog has not bitten her. She is the best mutt we have ever had. Ya know, since the kids came into our lives, we never take pictures of the pets anymore. This was probably one of the few pictures of Jannie that we have unless she happens to be in the background.


He loves me! That's all Avery says. She gets a flower, pulls each petal off one by one and says "he loves me" then blows the petal into the air. she never says "he loves me not." Silly girl.

Payne caught a lizard today. WTG Payne.

What is that? Strange picture. Well, Avery decided today that her diaper hurt so I put her in panties. A couple accidents--no biggie. So it was bath time, she was starting to have an accident but as soon as I put her in the tub, she started to pee. So Aunt Margaret and I decided to stick her foot in the warm bath water to make her pee. No luck,

Playing princess--again. but this time mommy played. I figured, hey, I'm never gonna wear this dress again and I'm sure Avery will want her own wedding dress so, here we are. Maybe I'll finally loose that extra 30 pounds and be able to zip the damn thing up! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Our Sunday was spent mostly inside because of the rain, high winds and cold front.

I don't think I can ever stop looking at my cute princess. I forgot to take pictures tuesday night at the earth day party at the aquarium but need to get a couple from my mom to post.
