Target Bargains, Homemade Peach Ice Cream, Good Friends, and God


Could be a country song, right? Nope, just a short summary of our weekend. Friday, Annie, Audrey, and I made a trip to Target. We were walking through the seasonal isle, which was 50% off, when they started switching out the sale signs to 75% off. Needless to say, we went a little crazy. I had to restrain myself from buying a few items just because they were 75% off. I mean, who needs four coolers? But we did get some great buys. Sometimes I think I could be an extreme couponer because I can't resist a good bargain. Ask John about this, he would agree. :)
Saturday, we had some friends over to sample our homemade peach ice cream from our brand new ice cream maker (which I bought from Target for 75% off). It was amazing, but I am pretty sure the ingredients cost more than buying an actual container of ice cream. Oh well, you win some and you lose some.
Sunday, we woke up extremely late, thank you Audrey, but decided we could still make it to church. I am pretty sure a few people thought we were visitors because we have only made it to our own church once in the past three months, and if you read my older post you know how that turned out! This time Audrey did fantastic! She didn't sleep like we were hoping, but sat contently with her Daddy. We snapped a few family photos to remember the day.

Pretty little girl in her new dress.

We didn't have enough hands for Oliver, or he would have been in the picture too.

Who is rocking who to sleep? (Sorry John, I couldn't resist.)

3 Months and Growing..

Today is Audrey's three month birthday! Wow, time is going by so fast! She has accomplished a few new things so far:

1. She found out how to roll on her right side and back again.
2. She discovered her hands and mastered the trick of fitting her whole fist in her mouth.
3. We took our first vacation to the River house and dipped into the Piankitank River.
4. She learned how to coo and have "conversations".
5. She smiles when she is happy or excited.
6. She sleeps through the ENTIRE NIGHT! WOOHOO!

Can't wait for the things to come! Happy 3 month to my beautiful little girl. :)

I'd rather be on the Piankitank..

Audrey went to the River house for the first time last week. We left Thursday night a 9:30 at night to make sure she would sleep the whole ride. It was a loooonnnggg ride in the middle of the night, but she slept most of the way and we only had to stop once (thank you for the freebie Mr. Deputy). :) We finally made it to the river house at 3:00 in the morning. John stayed with us until Tuesday morning when he had to go back to work. Audrey and I stayed behind until John came back on Friday to pick us up. The week went by quickly, but we had lots of fun and can't wait to go back.
I heart Maw.

Relaxing on the dock with two beauties!

Audrey can't resist a nice nap in the hammock, just like her Momma.


Sweet, wrinkly, baby feet.

Sweet, chubby, baby hands.


First of many dips in the Piankitank.

Why yes, I am the most adorable baby in the world!

Her Daddy will make sure all of her bathing suits are one piece. Forever. Period.
