Purple & Gold

I took these pictures last weekend. My Daddy (aka PaPAw) bought Baylee this LSU cheerleading suit and shipping it to Tennessee. I love it!

Sleepy Head

Friday night Carl, Baylee and I went to visits some friends at their new house. We didn't get there until almost 6:30 and Baylee is normally in bed by 7:30. I was worried she would be a mess close to bed time but she did pretty well. We headed home around 9:45. After being in the car for about 5 minutes I turned around to find this.

Audrey's Baby Shower 9/26/09

Last Saturday I helped co-host my very first baby shower. It was held at my house so I think that added to the stress level because everything had to be just "so" before the guest arrived. LOTS of cleaning and decorating was involved.
I found this GREAT idea online to use clothes line wire and string it above a room and hang baby clothing. Luckily I had several newborn onesies from when Baylee was a tee tiny baby so it was a cheap and cute decoration.My friend Alisha was the other host. She MADE this BEAUTIFUL diaper cake! She and I are convinced she could start her own business making cakes and DIAPER cakes. And the actual cake. Alisha was going to make an awesome cake for the shower. However, she got sick the day before and did not feel comfortable preparing and baking a cake while feeling under the weather. So the day of the shower she headed to Publix and bought a cake that was already made and she added a few extra touches. When she got home and started getting things together for the baby shower her cat jumped up onto the counter top and knocked the cake onto the floor! GASP! She called me all upset and had to go purchase a second cake. This time she stopped at Kroger in Hendersonville and this was the only cake they had that was pink. The wooden duck was suppose to go on top the diaper cake but when the cake didn't quite turn out the way Alisha wanted she improvised and used it on the eatable cake. :) Sweet Averly is always smiling. The guest of honor herself. 4th time Mamma to be. She is finally getting a girl!Liz use to work at an office in my building. She had baby Tessa back in June. I was so glad she was able to come and bring her sweet baby along. Audrey got lots of great gifts and LOTS of cute girl clothes!Averly modeling Zoe's bib.Ele enjoying playing with Baylee's toys while she was not there :) I asked her "Ele can you smile so I can take your picture?". Her response...."yeah sure." Man I wish Baylee was that easy!Yarn around the belly game. Everyone was WAYYY off! It was hysterical! Baylee showed up after a lot of the guests had already left. She and Ele had a blast running around together and playing with balloons.

I wanted to take pictures of Audrey with each of her friends at the shower. However, I got busy doing other things so I missed about 5 people as they were leaving so I missed those opportunities.

Zoo-Labor Day 2009

We spent our Labor Day at the Zoo. After Baylee woke up from her nap we headed out.
Baylee LOVES the movie Racing Stripes. When she spotted the zebras she started screaming STRIPES, STRIPES and wanted me to put her down so she could go check them out. Yeah...not happening!When we first arrived she didn't want out of her stroller. She was a little grouchy but after some Vanilla Wafers she was good to go! Lots of behind pictures I know. She looks so grown!"Look Daddy!"Petting Zoo....it stunk SO bad!Baylee LOVED the camels! YEAHK!A fairly new addition to the Zoo is a merry-go-round. Last time Baylee and I came she was not that enthused about it. This time however she LOVED it! We rode twice and she was very upset when we got off! Our second time around we rode Stripes.

After riding the merry-go-round and seeing all the animals we headed to the play ground area where we spent the next hour!

Look at that face. PURE JOY!

I am so glad Daddy was here this trip! The last 2 times that we have been this year I have come alone with B and I have had to go down all the slides and try and keep up with her. This time it was Daddy's turn! :)It was SO HOT!

After almost 4 hours at the Zoo it was time to head home. We were all hot and sweaty and Mamma and Daddy was ready to go! FUN FUN day!
