Happy Birthday Grandma Sher Sher!!

Last week while we were in Dallas, we got the family together to celebrate my mom's 54th birthday. I have to say she is the most beautiful woman I know, and does not look her age one bit!! I hope to look half as good as she does at that age! Love you Mom!!









We went to eat at Texas Roadhouse, and they don't really have seating for larger parties, so we had to sit at booths across from eachother. My brother Chase and his wife Nikki, Mom, Sis Diana (aka Dee Dee) and Maddy.



Me, Jamie, Ava, Tio Roland, Eric and Rick (Poppy to the grandkids)




Ava was in rare form...and hamming it up for the camera with several of her funny faces!!




Yes, she was closing her eyes and making this face on purpose. :)
She loves doing the squinty eyes. They crack me up!
Making funny faces with her Poppy



It is one of her favorite faces to make. Lol.


My mom and sis.


Ava, Poppy, Great Tio Roland and Maddy.



My mom and three of her five kids after dinner. Don't know where Chase and Mom are looking.



While we were in town we got to enjoy some special times with Miss Maddy. Here she is sitting up in a cart on her own for the first time. She is just getting too big!



Ava also got to feed Maddy by herself for the first time. She likes to help with babies, so of course when she saw her Aunt Dee Dee feeding Maddy she wanted to give it a try.


She did a great job, and actually got the food in her mouth!


The only problem is, Ava too a litte too long getting it to her mouth...and it was driving Maddy a little crazy. You don't mess with a hungry girl!!


She eventually just grabbed the spoon from Ava...and stuck it in her mouth herself!


and stuck it in her mouth herself!
As always Maddy, we loved seeing you and can't wait to come and crash your place again!

Fun with Friends

We recently went to the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort for lunch with our good friends Damon, Tara, and Ava's partner in crime Gavin. They had a great time eating together and chasing eachother around afterwards. We love going to the Hyatt...there is always so much to do!!

Ava and Gavin at their own little waiting table.


Ava loves to be chased!!

My little cheese ball heading out to the park after lunch!

She is such a ham!!


Better hurry up Gavin...she's a man eater!!
