Happy 4th of July

Our neighborhood had a parade Friday afternoon, so Avery and I went and checked it out. After the parade they had a small carnival for the kids. Avery enjoyed a train ride, carousel ride and a balloon hat. On Saturday morning we headed to Brenham stopping in Chappell Hill for the 4th of July parade. It was extremely hot as all of the seats in the shade were taken when we got there, but what do you expect when you get there as the parade is starting. Avery was only concerned about getting candy and that she got a lot of. Saturday evening we went to Independence to watch the fireworks. Avery did enjoy the fireworks, but being we were 100 yards from where they were launching them it was extremely loud. Once they were over Avery said the fireworks were pretty, but she didn't like them because it was too loud.

Happy Birthday.....Daddy is another Year Older

Today is Alan's birthday and I thought it would be cute for Avery and I to make him some special cupcakes.

Is there anything more fitting than golf themed cupcakes?

The ones with brown sugar on them are suppose to look like a bunker,

not too happy with how they turned out, but then again I am not Martha Stewart.

Easter Weekend Pictures

I know I am a little late at posting, but I just had a chance to load the pictures from my camera. We had a very busy Easter weekend with many Easter Egg Hunts. Avery was not really into hunting eggs, she was more concerned with playing on the playground equipment and jumping on the trampoline, however we still ended up with tons of candy.

Pop Tarts

Avery went to the Dentist for the first time about a month ago. She has been very cautious of her teeth since then. I tell her that if she eats a lot of sugar and doesn’t brush her teeth before going to bed and when she wakes up in the morning she will get cavities. I do have a couple of cavities and she will ask to see them and then she proceeds to tell me I don’t brush my teeth very well. =) Doesn’t every adult have at least one cavity? Getting back to my story… Yesterday when I dropped her off at school the options for breakfast were oatmeal, which she likes but it was cold and just didn’t look very good, or pop tarts, as they had run out of milk (another story). There are not many days when we give her the pop tart option, but when she had it yesterday she didn’t want it. That totally surprised me and I asked her why she didn’t want a pop tart and she said because it would break her teeth. =) If everything was this easy life would be great. She needed to eat something for breakfast so I told her we would brush her teeth really well before going to bed. Hopefully when she goes to her next dental appointment she will not have any cavities as she might tell the Dentist it is because mommy made me eat a pop tart, never mind the other sweet stuff she eats every once in a while. Hope everyone has a Happy Friday!!
