Smushed: The Birthday That Just Keeps Going

Aubrey and Emily both had birthdays in March. I promised Aubrey, long ago, that when she turned 6, she could have her ears pierced. And she did not let me forget it. So one Friday morning, we ventured to the mall (it was the first time I had been to the mall here at our new location) and got the job done. I warned her that it was going to hurt. She looked at me with a look that said, "Oh, save it mom! Don't ruin this moment for me!" I was like, OK. We'll see. The moment the first earring went in she got this wide eyed surprised look, but she was tough. When we got to the blessed day when she was able to change earrings (I say it is blessed because she asked me 10 times a day, everyday, how many more days it was until she could take them out) we went to the store and bought her several pairs of earrings. She now loves to change them at least 5 times a day, which requires my help. The fun just never ends around here! And sometimes I find her sitting on her bed, just looking at her earring collection.


Lauren's gift to Emily and Aubrey for their birthdays was a trip to see The Jonas Brothers 3D. She and my mom took the girls one Saturday and Addy and I decided to join them at the last minute. I mean, who can resist the Jo Bro's?

She is brave! I waited until jr. high to get mine pierced...and i'm pretty sure I cried!

I'm glad you checked our house out! We are sooo excited for it to be done! And, no, I didn't take you off my friends list on facebook, I actually just deleted my whole account...I was wasting too much time on it. So don't worry, you didn't do anything!:)
