Happy 4th Birthday Ainsley

Ainsley will soon be four years old (on November 27) and we had her 4th birthday party this weekend. She wanted a Tinkerbell party, but we were inviting boys too, so we had a Tinkerbell/Pirate party. I printed out coloring sheets of Tinkerbell, Peter Pan and Captain Hook for them to color, got boxes for them to decorate with stickers as their treasure chests, had beads for them to make necklaces, Gigi made a Pin the Wings on Tinkerbell game and they got to Go Fishing for their goody bags. Ainsley also had the most amazing birthday cake every! Cakes by Rita in Tupelo made her a Tinkerbell cake that was almost too pretty to eat (but we did)! We had a wonderful day with family and friends and were so happy to celebrate our little girl's 4th birthday!

Our beautiful birthday girl!

Halloween

Ainsley wanted to be an Amory Cheerleader for Halloween (even though she wears her uniform to school almost every Friday). I found her some shimmery black and gold pom poms online to make her the perfect cheerleader.

Go Amory Pampers (Panthers)!!

FBC Fall Festivals 80's Style

Our Church has a Fall Festival every year. This years theme was the 80's, so we had to participate! We look a little crazy, but had a lot of fun!!

Daniel and Rodney - Two ends of the 80's spectrum
Kelly and me are two hot 80's ladies.

Me, Daniel and Ainsley -  Ainsley thought we were really cute!

Don't we make a cute couple?


Rodney and Nancy were ready to rock out in the 80's.


Kelly and Matt got in to the spirit of the evening too.

Ainsley loves to get her face painted.
Two good looking brothers!

Me, Daniel, Kelly and Matt

Full view of these lovely outfits.

Lorie, Kelly and Me.  We were told we looked younger dressed like this.

Ann Elise was a clown for the festival.

Kristen in her 80's prom dress.

Ainsley and Daniel trying to win a cake in the cake walk.

John Mark wanted to win a cake too.

Ainsley dove in head first to fill up her bucket with candy.

Leecie caught on quickly and did not want Ainsley to get all of the candy.

Leecie hid under the table to eat her candy.

My little cheerleader had a great night!

Kittens!

Daniel and I decided to let Ainsley get a kitten. Since we do live in the country we thought it would be a good idea to help with mice, etc. Somehow we got talked into getting two kittens from the Amory Humane Society. So we welcome Olivia and Rose to the Martin Houshold with open paws!
