Pool Party

We are watching Aunt Jenni's doggies and Audrie is having a ball!!! She filled up her pool yesterday and little did we know it was going to turn into a pool party! Jenni told me that her dogs like the sprinklers...but I didn't know they LOVED the water. Audrie loved playing with them especially since her dog would rather watch from inside. hahaha Notice his absence from all the pictures.

Cute Cute Foster! You may not get him back Jen!!!

This is sooooo much fun!!!

One More Sweet Moment...

I know....4 posts today! A lot of little sweet moments that I can't pass up.

This one is about Papa Brown. He loves to come over on his motorcycle and the last trip he made, he came over to spoil. He had four little pockets at the bottom of his shorts that were each filled with a little wind up toy for Audrie! She looooved to find the prizes and loooooved the wind up toys. One was a ladybug that spins in circles, a dog that does back flips, a goldfish that swims, and those teeth that chatter together. She loved jumping with the doggie and grandpa teased that the teeth were going to get her toes so she squealed as they came towards her. It was a fun surprise for her and it made her day! Thanx Again Papa!!!

Well we were going over to Grandma & Grandpa Brown's for a short visit today and I couldn't come with empty pockets...especially since Audrie had on super cute ones with little zipper pockets just like Papa! When I told her what we were doing she was excited and patted her pockets for me to fill them up. We hid little chocolate kisses and let Papa share them with Audrie.

It was tooooo cute! Love to share sweet moments!

"I Love You!!!"

Audrie loves to trace her hand and we have been teaching her how to make the "I Love You" symbol. One night Grant sent Audrie to me as I was cleaning up and she handed me this. I just about broke into tears it was soooooo sweet! She just melts my heart!!! I don't know where she gets that from....Love you Grant!

Sweet Daisies

We transplanted these daisies from Grandma & Grandpa Turley's House. Audrie loves to smell flowers and I could not resist snapping some pictures as she discovered them today.

I also love these daisies because we took pictures last year in front of them at Grandma & Grandpa's.

Look what a year will do....

Her smile just fills my heart with happiness!

I love watching her grow, but oh how fast it is going!

A Happy Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday Grandma! We love you!!!

Mosquito bites oh my!!!

Poor Audrie got her first taste of bug bites last night. We were at Grandma & Grandpa Turley's and she was playing outside in the 7 o'clock hour...thought the bugs wouldn't be out yet with the heat...I was way wrong and didn't come prepared!!! I felt so bad when she woke up with 5 bumps!!! I jumped on Google and found a home remedy for the itching. Baking soda and vinegar made into a paste. It dries fast and seemed to do the trick. Hopefully they won't bug her as much as they bug me. I hate mosquitoes!!!

Well we went to Grandma & Grandpa's again tonight and mom brought the good stuff....bug repellent without the nasty chemicals! If you have a little one, I recommend this stuff. No bug bites tonight! YEAH!!!

The ingredients: Soybean Oil, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Lemongrass Oil, and Geranium Oil!

Another day at the lake

1...2...3...

Jump!!!

YEAH!!!

Audrie loves to jump to dad from the dock (even though the water is cold!!!)

The girls on the jet ski!

Strawberry Face...

Cookie Face...Which one is sweeter?



Audrie loves to feed the geese.

Our little cutie!

Now that's just CRAZY!!!

Franklin.Karson.Chelsea

We have some crazy kiddos who love to go super fast in the tube...Franklin, Karson, & Chelsea were being pulled by Grant and they kept wanting to go faster. Who better to deliver a wild ride than Uncle Grant!!! He found some huge rollers and took these kids on the ride of their life! Uncle Doug took these amazing pictures and put them in a play by play collage. Yes! These kids really went that high out of the water and survived! They all held on so tight and little 6 year old Karson flew up out of her seat, but didn't let go!!! Franklin and Chelsea on the ends amazingly didn't get thrown out the sides. We were all in shock when they landed and were okay. In fact they were so excited and now have an awesome story to tell! Way to go kids!!!

Here's a close up....

Thanx Doug for taking these pictures that will go down in Turley Family History!!!

When Audrie sees this picture she say Ooooh Noooo!!!! I think she is still a little concerned they aren't coming down! The scary part is that I can see her in Karson's spot one day with Franklin on one side and Karson on the other!!!

Our Turley Family Getaway

We have been beach bums for the past few weeks. We went up to Donnelly, ID for our annual Turley Family Getaway. We love being able to spend multiple days right by the water and we just play all day long. Audrie had a blast! She loved having her cousins Carter & Spencer here and the three were together all the time. She played so hard that she had a hard time knowing when to quit.
Bad habit #1 - refusing to take a nap. She would just go go go and not want to stop. I tried so hard to keep our schedule, but with too much excitement going on around us, I failed.
Bad habit #2- climbing out of her play pen. OH NO!!! I knew that she would figure it out sooner or later! I just wanted it to be much much later!!! She is our monkey. So this made us have to hold her or lay down with her...naps and bedtime! (Not my ideal way because I had plans to scrapbook during naps, but I did enjoy the snuggle time) Bad habit #3 - bring it ALL home!!! First night home what did she do as soon as we finished our bedtime routine? Climbed right out of the crib! Oh the panic as I saw my life of easy nap time and bedtime vanish. Yes a week later and we are still struggling (Which will deserve another post soon!) But you know...she had sooooo much fun and we made sooo many memories it was worth all the stress. So when I see these pictures of her playing in the sand, water, and with our family, I am happy and would never trade the time for anything.

The 4th of July was a great day! We had a BBQ and went to McCall for the fireworks. Audrie didn't like them so much. It was funny because she would bury her face and peek through her fingers, but she didn't cover her ears. I think she thought it was strange to see such light in the sky. She loved being held by everyone and I loved capturing the cute moments she had in dad's arms.

We love the lake!!! And there were a lot of 1st for Audrie. It was her 1st time really riding the jet ski (Last year we put her on and went really slow). She loved when we would go fast and the faster we went the higher the squeal got. She loves the boat and likes to watch whoever is being pulled and she loves to drive with dad. It was her 1st time behind the boat in the tube. I was a little worried that she wouldn't like it once we started to go, but she had a ball! She would put her hands up and scream wooooo! She did not want to get out when our turn was over either. How fun these things must be to someone still experiencing life for the 1st time. I loved watching her sweet little face light up when we would ask her if she wanted to go on the jet ski or the tube. It's a wonderful thing to be a parent and share fun experiences with your child.

These are just some random pictures throughout the week. There was a lot of playing with the dogs, yummy treats, and coloring. I think this may have been the best week of Audrie's life so far. I love her and can't wait to share more wonderful times with this sweet little girl!

It's been soooo long!

Hey! We are still recovering from vacation...it's sad that I have to do that! We had our Turley Family Getaway last week in Donnelly and I took so many pictures that it is taking me forever to upload and get my posts together. We had a great time....lots of memories made...and some bad habits brought home (I will explain later). So I have a lot of catching up to do. Stay tuned...

First a little 1st from before we left. Audrie's 1st pony tail! Yes we finally have enough hair to pull it all the way up. And her hair is at a length that it curls at the end. It's super cute!
