St. Patrick's Day 2009

Kittrell Kids

Sporting their GREEN!!!

Jaylen celebrating her first St. Patrick's Day

Hudson came downstairs, dressed and ready to go

Carter enjoying matching his greens to his brother

And then there's Avery. She's being an Irish Outlaw today. She said leprechauns are not real and she does not need to wear green. Last year, for some reason, she became anxiously freaked out about the leprechauns and this year I guess she thought she'd test her theory out! LOL

A is for Avery

Avery McGwire turns 5

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY AVERY!!!

She got her name because I was telling Rob a story about my friend Jon Avery and said I liked his last name for a girl's name. I just remembered that I last saw Jon when Hudson was 1yo and that I didn't know I was pg with Avery at that moment -kinda poetic! McGwire, of course came from Mark McGwire, Rob's favorite baseball player.

Here's some things about Avery, in her own words ~

I don't like...Blue

I wish that...I could go to Disneyland every day.

My favorite food is...macoroni and cheese.

I like that Hudson plays with me and loves me. I don't like nothing about him.

I like that Carter likes me. I don't like that he is rude to me and hits me/pinches me/pulls my hair/bites.

I like that Jaylen plays with me and I can't wait to play dolls with her when she gets older. I don't like nothing about Jaylen.

So, yesterday she was talking about

the tooth fairy. She wondered what the tooth fairy would leave her (a toy or money!) She saw where I have a tooth out and I realized I hadn't gotten anything from the tooth fairy because the dentist kept it. She has firmly decided she will not leave any teeth at the dentist. So, you know what's coming right? Today, one week away from turning 5, Avery comes up to me and says, a little nonchalantly, "Mama, look what happened." I ask her were the tooth is and she just giggles and says she doesn't know. Thought it was super funny when I asked her if she swallowed it. I asked her if she hit her mouth on something (no) and where she was. Hudson and I looked on the floor and I found it, luckily! It's so tiny!

Poor Hudson, age 7 1/2, hasn't lost one yet. We were pretty sure his sister would lose one first but not this early. It looks like she's got two more that will join her other one to the outside world. Hudson may have one loose on the top. We're going to be broke with all our kids moving and growing too fast!

Look what the Tooth Fairy brought her:

She said she got up and looked and put it back and went back to sleep! She was so excited she couldn't sleep!

What is wrong with this picture?

She's only 5 months!
