Lemonade and Cookies

This past weekend, I had a small garage sale and the girls sold lemonade and cookies. It was my cousins idea and, she of course, made shirts for them to wear while they worked! It ended up being a great thing for Maddie. We are really trying to teach her how blessed she is and grateful she should be for the things she has. Of course, she's 5 so she always wants more "stuff" but we are also trying to teach her that in order to buy things, someone has to work for the money it requires. And we don't always get everything we want-nor do we need everything. It was good for her to work for her own money, which she enjoyed doing, and now-she's decided to save it up for something she wants!

The Night the Lights Went Out in Whitehouse

My good college friend, "Aunt Mel", comes over every Thursday night. We alternate cooking and enjoy hanging out and watching our shows together! This past week a storm came through and knocked out the electricity for about an hour. While we waited, we enjoyed keeping cool on the front porch and looking at a rainbow. Luckily, when the electricity came back on, Mel was able to finish cooking. I love those weeks when it's her turn! :)

Cousins, Reunited

My brother has been transferred to a base in San Antonio so we've gotten to see them as part of their move back to the South! Here are some pictures of the boys. Can't believe they both turn 1 this month!

My Little Prince

While I was cooking lunch for the girls today, sweet Easton took a little cat nap in his high chair. I noticed it was very quiet and sure enough-he was passed out! 

Birthday Invite

Seriously, I have the most talented cousin around! She creates all my baby announcements, Christmas cards and birthday invites! Easton's 1st birthday party is coming up quickly and we are so excited to celebrate our little MVP. Is this not the cutest party invitation ever?!
