Prepping for the 4th

Aubrey, Shaylee and I decided we needed a toenail and fingernail polish change. Perfect timing to go go crazy for the 4th. I though they turned out SOOO CUTE.

Daddy Daughter Date

When I was a little girl it was tradition to go on a Daddy Daughter Date with our Dad when we had a Birthday. (The boys went on a date with my mom for their Birthdays :)) When Aubrey turned 4 we decided that she was old enough to start that tradition with our little family. Aubrey chose to go to The Homestead for dinner (A local "Mom and Pop" restaurant) and then went to see Shrek 3. She loved every minute of it. (It a nice little break for me too) I can't believe that 4 years have gone by already. She is growing so fast. LITERALLY. People always ask her if she is going into 1st or 2nd grade. Nope. She will be starting Pre- School in August.

The Spelling Game

(Aubrey at the Cabin in Island Park)

Ever since Aubrey was a little girl Jonathan and I would "SPELL" words during our conversations so she couldn't understand what we were talking about. We would say things like : "I think it's time to put Aubrey to B-E-D" or "For Christmas I think we should get her a new B-I-K-E" and so on.

Lately she has loved learning more about the A-B-C's and what they sound like. We have little magnet letters on our fridge and when you put a letter into the Leap Frog Station it says the letter and what it sounds like. She can now find the letters on the fridge and spell her name. She will often ask me how to spell words like CAT, DOG, MOM, DAD etc.

Today Aubrey and I were at Wal-Mart and as we were walking around she said "Mom, I am getting so tired. I think I need to take a L-R-T". I asked her again what she said and she said, "I need to take an L-R-T". I asked her is she was spelling NAP. She said, "You always spell things when I need to go to bed. I giggled and told her how to spell NAP.

I love watching her LEARN. She comes up with such silly questions on why/how things are the way they are. She will be starting Pre-School in August. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. She is growing up way too fast. I Love this little girl :)

Can you say YUMMY???

What could this be?

Chips, Tomatoes, Avocados, Bacon, Sausage, Onion, Jalepenos, Pepper Jack Cheese and HOMEMADE ALFREDO SAUCE.

They were DELICIOUS. Even Jonathan gave them a Thumbs Up.
