precious audrey



one of audrey's friends, molly murrah (7 years old), gave her a garbage bag full of dress up clothes a few days ago. since then, she doesn't get up and get dressed, as she usually does. she gets up and gets dressed up. she wears these dresses all day every day! and she changes at least 5 times a day! i took a few pictures of her, i'll have to put some more up of the other dresses.




























when she put this dress on, she asked if she could have one of the flowers of the bouquet that brian gave me earlier in the week. so i gave her one, and she laid on the table like this. she said this is what sleeping beauty does until her prince comes to kiss her... zach usually ends up playing the part of prince. she calls to him, saying, "prince, you have to come kiss me!" i just laughed and laughed.






this is her new pink room... daddy finally painted it!

and i wanted to share a few other funny things that she has said lately:

**she was playing jasmine and aladdin one day with brian. she was running around the room calling, aladdin, help! help me! i guess zach wanted in on the fun, so he ran over to her and was trying to interact with her, and she ran away and said, "aboo, leave jasmine alone!"

**i was nursing the baby and watching the news and she was on the couch. she said,"ok mom, here's the deal. after you watch your show, i can watch my show. deal, or no deal?" i just cracked up. i haven't watched that in several months! and she pointed her finger at me like what do you say?
**at night when we pray before we eat, she has been offering to pray. so we let her. she always thanks God for mom and dad and kenzie, but she would never include zach. so we had to talk to her about how zach is an important part of the family and we love him too. even though she didn't want to, she has started to include him in the prayer. then the other night she was praying. she always starts out with "dear heavenly father," then she said all her thank yous, then proceeded to say,"and praise the Lord you helped makenzie stop crying and choking, in Jesus name, amen." it was pretty funny.
**lastly, the other day she wanted to hold the baby, so i handed her over and got her all situated. next thing i knew, audrey had sat the baby up on her lap and started to burp her just like a pro! she also helps with the diaper changes. she'll undo the outfit and open the diaper up for me.

I love it. Seriously. This is the best way to track all the funny stuff they say - - you can eventually print it out for the history books and let them look at it when they're older... My favorite was "Aboo, leave Jasmine alone!"

Too cute! Did you get the Barbie tickets? If not you can have mine. I don't know if Dave wants the boys to go. :)
We went a whole week without seeing you? So when are you coming over this week?

Thanks for your sweet comment of support!!! :) It's so healing to know that others have days like the one I had! I felt so much better after I blogged! It was weird, even though I knew I would! :) I got more done yesterday than I have in a long time! :) Glad to know, also, that I'm not the only one ready to give up on the pet! :) She's sooo sweet! We'll see! I think we're going to try a few other options before we get rid of her! :) I just keep thinking of the girls and how much they love her! Hope to get together with all of you sometime soon! :)
