Smith Family

Julia, Audrey and Eliana Probably the thing I'll miss the most from Casa Grande is living so close to these gals. Addie is such a great friend. I kinda feel like she is somewhat of an older sister to me, because she always knows what to do and has great advice. She was one of the first friends I made there and thank goodness for that :)

What a mess! She loves make up and will always figure out a way to get into it. All clean!

Christmas was so much fun with Audrey, I'm sure this next year it's going to be even better because she will understand what's going on. I have no idea what conversation was taking place here, but clearly it was pretty intense. After Audrey opened her baby doll from Grandma Carolyn all she wanted to do was go downstairs and watch Baby Einstein. She had gotten all she wanted and that was that :) Christmas jammies Ohh... Christmas morning, isn't it the best?! Playing with her pots and pans Unky Doo and Jackson Cam talking to Becca. They were engaged but in different states, so sad. It was a good day had by all. I can't wait for Christmas this year now that we live in town. It was such a hassle being out in Casa Grande and having to bring everything to my parents house, then haul it back home. It's going to be SOOO nice :) Only 4 more months... WOW!

Depending on Audrey's mood or what the situation is determines what she will call me 1.) Mom, Mommy, Momma these are obviously the most common 2.) Mrs. Amelia - After attending a couple of my music classes she heard what the kids call me. She will call me this when she has a question or is telling me thank you 3.) Lover - Somehow a long time ago Pete and I started calling each other this as a joke and it has just stuck. When she needs to get my attention this is the name she uses 4.) Mrs. Honey - From the movie Matilda... I'm not really sure why... I guess I just must be unbelievably sweet... However it kinda counteracts the next name 5.) Ursala! I'm sure you can guess when I get called this one! Whenever she is mad at me OR wants me to run after her and tickle her. Pete LOVES this, he thinks it's hilarious... mostly because he's conned Audrey into calling him Eric and I got stuck with the sea witch :)

I got this Play Doh Ice Cream Shop PLUS a 4 pack of Play Doh for under 4 bucks at Target today. It was a $14 savings. Man I love that store. It has kept Audrey busy all morning. Can't beat that. If you want to score the same deal visit hip2save.com and search for Play Doh and the post should come up. You will have to print a coupon. Hope you can get the same deal :)

I had to go to Party City to get some things for my class and took the kids with me. BIG MISTAKE. They have EVERYTHING you would ever need to have an Ariel party. I probably had my cart full of $500 worth of Little Mermaid merchandise . I somehow managed talking her into buying the cheapest thing, cupcake liners. So, we ran to the store and picked up some cake, pink of course and had fun baking.
