Rock Star Amy

We had such a great time with Amy. I think she won the "favorite aunt" spot back ! :) She had Carver won over as soon as she let him chew on her rib bone at Jack's BBQ.
She had Todd won over as soon as she introduced him to Jack's BBQ!

She swam with the girls at the hotel.

She let them use all of her make-up. (I had to put this one, just because Macie looks like such a doofus! I am pretty sure this is after Amy put some elbow grease and Vaseline into removing all of Macie's "eyeliner")
She let them play games on her i-phone.

She went to Riley's school and met her for lunch.


And she plain out spoiled them with love...and candy.
I asked Mace what her favorite part of the visit was and she replied, "Everything Amy did with me!"
Charlotte said, "Reading books with her."
We miss her all ready. Amy, we love you so much! Can't wait to see you again! Thank you so much for taking time to come visit. We know it is a sacrifice to take work off and pay for the travel. We think it was totally worth it!

Cross Dressing

Greetings from Kentucky! I've been here since Friday afternoon, enjoying my time with the chitdens...both little and big! :) I took this picture today while Macie was having a playdate with her friend, Clayton. I guess since she has developed a bit of an accent, it's appropriate that she's rockin' the cowboy outfit while Clayton is going for the princess look. Awesome! ~Amy

Church Attire...

The kids did great getting dressed for church today all by themselves.  Daphne needed a little help and after a quick face swab, was a total cutie today. 

Felix almost wore multiple ties around his neck, but changed his mind last minute.  He was very proud of this shirt and tie combination and stayed busy at church twirling his tie around his finger.  He was also happy that I let him fix his own hair today which consisted of water and a comb.  On school days, I style his hair in the Robert Pattison vampire style which Felix doesn't seem to like, but Mother knows best.

 Rex went all out with his hair today.  To get the look below, follow these steps:
1.) glob a giant blob of hair molding wax on the top, middle portion of your hair.  Rub around only in that spot. 
2.) spritz 3 to 4 squirts of spray gel
3.) spray with Aqua Net
4.) wet a comb and comb all around...best if in circles
5.) add just a tad more hair molding wax, and Voila!

 Here's what it looks like from behind. 

After seeing the behind picture on the camera, Rex decided it needed a few modifications so:
6.) spritz 3-4 more squirts of spray gel
7.) comb hair using a more straight line technique
8.) top it off with more Aqua Net...and Voila!...ready for church!

Meal times in our house are practically impossible to keep at the table for the duration of the meal:

Felix ended up in front of the hot air vent for breakfast

 Rex was taking "exercise breaks" in between breakfast bites

 Felix created a superhero identity...the "P" is for "Prayer-Man"...He says a pray for the things he wants to happen, and they happen...what a cool dude.

Here's a video of Daphne saying "I love you."  She's a really good mimic.

Riley Hoops, Chicken Fried Steak and Carver

These are videos of Riley scoring today. She had 8 of the team's 14 points.

After the game today.

This was my second try with chicken fried steak. I'm working on finding the perfect recipe.

Carver is becoming more and more mobile and is still as smiley as ever.
