Visit with Grandma Mudd

Twinkle, Twinkle

Evelyn finally put on her star costume from Christmas!! 

Call from Emma's phone...

Evelyn wants to tell you something "I poo poo'd on the potty!!!"

Family Date Night

My girls...

Don't get me wrong Avery can chill and watch tv with the best of them...but she understands the importance of a clean room! 

Geaux Tigers

Practice makes perfect

Avery's other twin

We ❤️ Bailey Girls

Avery's first slumber party

The other day Bella came over after Sparkler Camp and slept over! Everything went really well. Chloe even got to join us for dinner! I think Evelyn was enjoying the all girl time too! (Riggs got to sleep at Casey's house) oh and we got the Bailey girls the next morning! Fun times!!!

Triangles and TV Time

Just me and Riggs running

Errands. Grocery. Dry cleaner. Starbucks. I explained to him why he can't get a milk at Starbucks because we just bought a gallon of milk. He says I know you are getting a chai tea latte. 

My baby is a big girl!

Yesterday morning I was still in Houma and Tim was taking care of getting all of the kiddos off to school. And let me tell you Monday mornings can be super challenging! I had asked a babysitter to come by just to help for an hour so she could fix Avery's hair and then take Evelyn to school so Tim could get to work early. 

Well unfortunately our sitter forgot and Tim was on his own. He did an awesome job managing the kiddos. Well then came time to do Avery's hair...she immediately stepped up to the challenge of daddy doing her hair. She gathered her brushes, the spray, ponytail holder and bow. She instructed him on the order of operation. Once he began to brush she said she could handle it from here. She has never tied a ponytail. On her second try it was done and all daddy had to do was clip in the bow! 

I am so proud of Avery. A few months ago a hair fiasco would have set her off into a tantrum. Now she handles tough situations with determination. She is going to be very successful in life. She pays attention to everything. Nothing will stump her! 

Picture Day for Dancing

It was a busy afternoon. Three kids in dancing is a lot! Thankfully Dearie was there to dress Riggs and entertain Evelyn in between takes! Mommy went over board with poses ;) but I couldn't resist. The costume Dearie made for Riggs is unbelievable!!!!!! 

I think it will be a "Ryan" program for sure! 

Evelyn said the sweetest thing at bed time. When I walk out the door she always says "wait, let me tell you something". Today she said "Mommy, I had a good day taking pictures!" Followed by "you had a good day watching me!"

Well Baby Check ups

My babies aren't babies anymore. Almost two months (was not about to go to the doctors office during flu season if we were healthy!) after their 5th birthday we went in to get some stats.

Sweet Sister

Picking up Evelyn today and we were talking about her friends at school. 

She talked about Maddie and Colette. Then she said Avery and Riggsy are her friends. It was too sweet. 

Putting Evelyn down for a nap...

As I'm walking out...

"Mommy I need to tell you something"

"Yes ma'am"

"I love you and I want to give you kisses" 

It was so sweet. 

And they were so excited

To have their own room. Tonight is the first time they have ever had their own room since they were born. 

Guess after 5 years it's hard to separate. :) sweet Riggs gave Avery the top because she was scared of spiders being on the trundle. 

Breakfast Date

Evelyn and I are becoming regulars at Rusted Rooster! 

Sisters.

They are really becoming best friends.  It's so sweet. 

Timing is right

Today we are at Fatima to celebrate with the kids. And would you believe the party starts at 2:15 and they were born at 2:14 and 2:16. Quite the blessing to be with them at the moment they turn 5!!!

5?! Where did the time go?

And all by herself

She poo poo'd on the potty!!!

And somehow on child number three and I've never cleaned poop from a little potty. Yuck!

Pee Pee on the Princess Potty

New Years Resolution - Pottytrain Evelyn! 

We got home from a celebratory NYE dinner at Dozo with many families. We told the kids to go potty and Evelyn insisted she sit on her potty. Sure enough it started playing the royal music! She filled the potty!
