Valentines Day


Here are the 4 little darlings on Valentines Day. We had to hog tie Riley to put on a Valentines shirt. She only wants to wear her ballerina dress. Hello does she know it is 30 degrees outside. Avery is wearing an outfit Reagan and Riley both wore as babies. It's great to have hand me downs that still look brand new. Do her eyes look crossed????
Do you like the new wall color. It is burnt orange. It is the very first room you see when you walk into our house. We wanted everyone to know that we still bleed orange. We even have the cowskin rug in the entry. Now I just need to find a place for our mounted longhorns.

What a Blessing

What a little dollie! She had an extra special day. She looked gorgeous in this custom made dress from her mommies BFF, Jenny. She smocked and beaded this beautiful gown. It was trimmed in the most exqusite laces and trims. She even made a slip, booties, and that sweet little bonnet. She was so pretty that I didn't want to take it off her. I was so afraid of her spitting up (or worse) on it. But she was a little lady and treated it with the utmost respect. Although she loved sucking on the silk ribbons. What a dear friend to spend countless hours designing and creating this dress for my little baby. It will be treasured for generations to come.
This is the designer and creator...Jenny Nogales. She flew in to see her all dolled up.


Avery's daddy bestowed a beautiful blessing. Both of her grandfathers and 2 uncles were able to be in the circle. There was a bad snow storm that day and some family couldn't make it. We had a wonderful dinner afterwards in which Matt was bar-b-qing fajitas on the grill in a snow storm. What a dad.




Avery you truly are a blessing!!!
