On days when I am particulary overwhelmed by the needs of two kids, I say to Steve, “Please don’t make me have anymore kids. What’s the point? Even if you do get that boy you’ve always dreamed of, he’ll probably want to be a ballerina or something. Let’s just stick with what we’ve got.”
Avelyn has struck the balance perfectly as far as her interests go. She loves to wear her princess dress, drape herself in costume jewellery and watch Disney princess movies. But she also loves to dig in the dirt, chase the dog in the orchard and ride the dirtbike with her dad.
(I know she’s not wearing a helmet and you can put me right up there with Britney Spears and her baby on her lap while she drove her car, but, well, we don’t have one that fits her and Steve went real slow. We’re country, OK? )
PS: I KNOW you can buy pre-crushed Oreo crumbs but they are not as good as the real cookies, icing and all, smashed up in big chunks. So that was my reasoning. I like to go above and beyond. And sometimes that means there will be a hammer and some crying involved.

Meh, her strong ass will to live and goal to drive you nuts will save her in any event of a fall. She looks like she comes from good stock.
Well Steve budy, I don’t have to see your smile to know how much fun you were having. I can’t wait to finish my atv and take my two girls out, because we both know they will be 5 or so dy the time I get it rebuilt. Say that looks like a bike I haven’t seen. Can’t wait to see your family again. Corey and family.
She is looking so old, Amanda! Too old. Like 5 or something.
Cute as ever though.
My kids often don’t wear their helmets either. Country folks unite!
That close up of Avelyn and her Daddy is priceless!
She’s totally gorgeous! I really love those shots.
ps. Who needs a helmet anyway?!
love these pics!! Avelyn is a little tomboy just like her cousin Shelley was :)
I think Avelyn wants a sidecar on that dirt bike………for her dad.
LOL. Love the pics.
So you don’t want me to ask you to come down and make Dirt for Charlie’s bug themed birthday party this year?
She is definitely her daddy’s girl.
