American Girl Boutique and Bistro- Dallas

Grandma Carm took the girls to the American Girl Boutique and Bistro in Dallas. They had a blast buying their new dolls and having lunch with them too! They saved their money all year and had a great time handing over their cash to the American Girl lady!

Ears Pierced!

We finally got the ears pierced! We have made 4 attempts before, but this weekend they finally took the plunge! Ashli looks a little shaken up here!

Daddy has replaced the dirt bike! Praise the Lord!

We have finally convinced Chris that he should not die on a dirt bike. Her is his new toy, and he loves it. It actually helps for when he can't find a 3rd person to go out on the boat with him.

American Girl Fashion Show

This is a fun time that the girls had modeling with their own dolls! It was a little function that they did on the third floor before the show. I have a video that I hope to post!

Lexi's 4th and Final 7th Birthday party!

Lexi really didn't believe that her Birthday was Tuesday the 8th. She thought it was today because this is the day we had her friends over and had a cake with 7 candles. So, she is finally 7 now! She had an American Girl party where they did the dolls hair and made crafts. It was very fun!

Lexi's 3rd 7th Birthday

At the Edmiston household we have a Birthday week. The pictures below are the third party of the week. Our first was in Medford with our friends the Gwaltneys, the second was at Chili's with Aunt Sara and Grandpa Ro-Ro. The third was at Grandma and Grandpa's house with Grandma Carm! Grandma Carm gave Lex what she wanted all along, a BABY ALIVE! We'll let you know how that goes!

And Now... Deep Thoughts!!

Sometimes, I look at my blog to see if it has been updated for me. And, it never is. It kinda reminds me of when I wake up in the morning and I look to see if someone has cleaned my house for me in the middle of the night. And, that doesn't happen either.

Ahh!

Here are some pictures that Mindy Strauss-Life Photography took! Much nicer on the eyes than my soccer ones. I thought I would post these in order to relax your eyes a bit from the soccer game.

TO BLOG, OR NOT TO BLOG...THAT IS THE QUESTION

OK, so I am officially a soccer Mom! Lexi started soccer yesterday and Daddy-O is the assistant coach. Ashli and I had so much fun watching her, so we want to share some pictures. But, this is where the problems with my blogging start! THE PICTURES! They are HORRIBLE unless Jessica or Mindy take them. (Can you guys follow me around and take some pictures, or give me some advice?) I am not sure if I need a new camera or if I am just a lamo photographer. Anyway, I can't get my verse of the day to look cool either. I am very close to retiring from blogging because my blog looks like a 3rd grader runs it! I totally enjoy looking at everyone else's pictures because they are so good. So, PLEASE take my survey and BE HONEST, Ferdinand and Lightbulb!!!

Surprise!!!

In honor of Abby Hoeffer, my mom getting mad at me for never posting anything new, for my friends who actually still check this tired old blog... I thought I would post something new! This is actually a funny story with no picture. But I will put something here anyway to make it look interesting. All that being said...

Last week, as most of you know I had some moles removed. Very exciting! Well, they gave me vicodin (housewives, please don't come ransack my cupboards- I heard about you all on Oprah-which I don't watch.) Anyway, I was really tired from the vicodin, so I took Ashli to have a nap with me and I gave Lexi my cell phone. I told her to only call Daddy and that was IT! So, two hours later I woke up to find Lex in the toy room on a 45 minute call with her Dad who was working on scaffolding at the building. Out of curiosity I looked at my recent calls and my texts. Well, here is what I saw for the dialed calls:
A Daddy (Chris)
Jesus (Our old lawn guy)
Dad (My Dad)

Starting at the bottom, I asked her why she called my Dad. She said that she thought she was actually calling her Dad. OK...
Then I asked her why she called Daddy. Was something wrong? What was up? She said, I just wanted to chat with someone...
Why did you call Jesus (pronounced Hay-soos), but I said Jesus. And she said, "I just wanted to see who would answer." I asked her what he said to her, and she said, "oh nothing, I hung up on him!!!"

Well, as if that wasn't all. She texted Amy Elliott and said...(spelled exactly this way)
I am sary I can not tack your call rite nou.

Daddy please call utherwise tex me.


Moral to the story...
Don't take vicodin and give your cell phone to the children!!!
