ROCK STAR Girls!

Getting glammed up like a ROCK STAR is some hard work! But someone has to do it. Emily and Allison attended a Hannah Montana birthday party this afternoon. Before today, I don't think they even knew she existed. We haven't quite gotten into "real" Disney characters yet. This mommy will stick with the princesses for a little longer ;-). The girls had a blast!! Especially Emily. She got to see her bestest friends from school and they picked right up where they left off - without missing a beat! They were treated to nail polish, make-up (complete with glitter powder), and hair. Happy 4th Birthday, Savannah. We had a great time!!

My girls don't really own anything that resembles a rockstar. They looked cute anyway!! (as usual)

The little sisters waiting on Hannah Montana to arrive.

She's here!! And she brought balloons to make animals, hats, swords, etc. Kate and Emily are super amazed!

Allison got a heart shaped balloon....imagine that!

Dancing with Hannah Montana - the girls really got into it!

Hannah also face paints. Who knew?

Emily = butterfly

More Family Time

We had dinner at our house on Saturday night. Mimi, Gia, Pa, Aunt Lorrie, James, Ryan, and Andrew all came over. We all had a great time, but I'm betting that Emily and Ryan had the greatest time. Those two are inseparable when they are together. And they will be in the same grade in school. So will Allison and Andrew. Super cool!

Family Time

Oh Ethan. Cutest.boy.ever.

We have had a busy weekend with lots of family in town. My grandparents, Mimi, and the Chalmers (we miss you Howard) all got in town late Thursday evening. We have been going nonstop since everyone arrived. I've tried to keep the pictures in order, even though it seems a little jumbled.

I love these pictures of Ethan playing 'cups' with his great-granddaddy.

Me with my sweet grandmama. Love her!

Allison modeling an Auburn Princess dress made by Uncle Ted's mom. To see more of her work, please visit www.elizabethannoriginals.com or www.bebebethoriginals.etsy.com. I saw some samples the other night and they were all so cute. The girls also have the Disney princess pillows that Diane made. Those are on the website as well. Check it out - great gift ideas!!

Ted and his Allie B. They are going to get married one day.

One word: SASSY
Sweet summertime sisters!

War Eagle Cousins!

The Chalmers are in town this week for Camp Kiel. We have been so lucky to spend some quality time with them. We have had meals, gone swimming, and attended the Auburn Alumni Fall Kickoff Party. Pa and Mark took the 4 oldest cousins to the Auburn function. They got to see Aubie, the cheerleaders, Nova the eagle, a white owl, and lots of kid attractions. Everyone had a wonderful time and is gearing up for football season.

Emily, Ryan, Allison (during the day)

Nova - the eagle that currently flies prior to kickoff at all home games. This is my favorite part of the game!

The girls were SO happy to see the cheerleaders. This might have been Em's favorite part....real people!
