More spa day pictures!

We gave the girls facials....... These hair wraps were a huge hit.. they all wore them and loved them!
Manicures.... Thanks Jody and Tracey!!!! I am sure they will not want to do nails for a very long time after all of this!
Dalton sat in this chair from like 8:30.. she said that she did not want to get out of it cause somebody might get it! Here are all the lovely ladies at the start of the party! I had them wear their robes.... with shorts and short sleeve shirts under them.
They washed their hands with a salt scrub, and I rubbed half of a lemon on their elbows and knees to help with the roughness and dryness!
As you can see the facial were taken VERY seriously! The cucumbers were a HIT! I could not believe how they laid there and relaxed!!!
Dalton was soaking her feet too getting ready for her pedicure!

I had mothers that agreed to help me out at the party.. I made them us all aprons so we be professional like for the spa! It was BEAUTIFUL outside! Here is Ashleigh wanting to change her par-tin to a cherry-tini! They thought that was the neatest thing ever! They would just giggle!
Something got knocked off the table and broke one of my Dollar Tree glasses, so luckily I had this from my college days! (Dalton did not mind at all... she was just happy to be there after having 103 temp the day before!)
They made toasts to the birthday girl!
What is a spa without bottles of water! They said... Double Digit Day Spa pampering Avery & Friends!

Double Digit Spa Day and Brunch

Considering that I ONLY took 370 pictures at the Double Digit Spa Day and Brunch I will start out by showing you some of the set up.. because of the rains and flood the day before we did not decide that the party would be officially OUTSIDE until at 7 am on Sat morning... it was 50* out at this time! I was SO nervous after all the rain that we had had on Friday! I did all I could do to make it look SPA LIKE... not that I have ever been to a spa and been pampered or anything so I really had to kinda guess.....
The girls were served par-tini's (sprite in martini glasses with cherries and pineapples on the long toothpicks as garnishes) OR cherry-tini's (the same as a par-tini, but with a splash of cherry juice in it!) I got the glasses at the Dollar Tree... love me some Dollar Tree especially for these types of things...
I pulled so much stuff from Avery's room to help decorate.. and the girls bathrooms too!
Avery LOVES this board that she got 2 years ago at Christmas.... It was perfect for sitting around the corner of the house so the girls would know where to go when they got out of the car... It is a little heavy and Lee was NOT happy about bringing it down the stairs, but he got over it!

Dalton's first t-ball practice...

Dalton had to wait about an hour at Avery's fastpitch softball practice before hers ever started.... that was like FOREVER in her little world!
Avery and Lee had been working with her on batting so of course she hit a home run!

Check out her moves!!!

I can just hear her now from out in outfield during the game.... PAPAW I WANT A PICKLE!!!

ME..... drawn by Dalton

This is ME! Notice I need to brush my hair, and I think I really could do something with all that other crazy hair on my... well, all over my FACE! I have nice perky boobs, but my belly button is the same size! She was so proud! I thought I was pretty hot even if I do say so myself!

10 and 81

Tonight Avery (who just turned 10 on April 2) comes to me and says.... Mama today is Papaw Roxie's birthday (with huge tears in her eyes) I told her... yes, it sure is! She just smiled really big and turned around and walked off.... last year as my mamaw was fighting for her life we celebrated her 80th birthday with a really big family party. All of her sisters and her brother were there along with all the rest of us with a LOT of long time freinds stopping by too! Mamaw never said a word... After the party was over and we were on the way home Avery started crying and told me that that was the best birthday party she had EVER been to... We all knew that it would be her last. Happy Birthday Mamaw!!! (or should I say Papaw Roxie!)

Happy Birthday Avery...DOULBE DIGITS BABY!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

10 years ago today (at 3:56 pm) my life changed FOREVER... I became a mother!!!! WOW!!! I never knew how much you could love something... it is crazy how you THINK you love that baby that is inside of you before you give birth... Nothing can prepare you for the ride you have ahead of you!

All day Dalton has wanted to know... where was I when Avery was born!?!?

Avery is the sweetest, most polite, caring person that you will ever come in contact with... She is considerate of others feelings, she worries about them, and loves them. I am not just saying that because she is mine... is it true! Just ask anyone that knows her.

She has had a great day today! The phone started ringing at 7:15 this morning with people wanting to talk to her... all the way up until this got out of the car to go to school! Hannah met her in the hall to be the first one to wish her a Happy Birthday and the they announced it on the intercom (yes, she thinks this makes her famous!) Then Papaw Michael called me this am and wanted to know if he could come and go with us to eat dinner with her.... She was so surprised when she saw him! We got home after school and there sat Nanaw in the drive way! Let's just say shes RICH! LOL She has decided to wait and shop until after her Spa Day and Brunch on Saturday! The phone has rang all afternoon, but it is only 5ish right now so it ain't over yet!!!

Happy "DOUBLE DIGITS" Baby!!!!

I love you with all my heart!
