Charity Event

I am apart of Junior Auxiliary of Desoto County and we host a fundraising event in the fall called Catfish and Khakies. This year I was a decorating co-chair and we came up with a great look for this years event. The Bouffants played and we designed the theme around Austin Powers meets Martha Stewart. It turned out beautiful and we raised the most money we have ever raised. This organization helps children in the Desoto County schools with different needs.
The night of the event, Frank couldn't attend, so I invited my friend Cathy Groner and we had a great time. It was an exhausting week, but well worth it. The other girls are friends of mine in JA, Emily and Marianne (decorating divas!)

Spirit Week and Boo the Snake!

I had forgotten about Spirit weeks! You know I love to dress up when given the chance! For superhero day, I was Webb's Depth of Knowledge Girl...educator thing. I even painted a web on my eye...the kids were confused! My best buddy, Holly was a ghost buster. What fun!
The other picture is my 5th period class...they are a trip! I am learning all the lingo from my young ones...it keeps me young!

Boo the snake visited my room with his owner (one of my students)! I have never held a snake...what an experience...you are never too old! We were talking about how you should give children new experiences and he suggested bringing in his Boo for a project...and along came Boo!

Happy Birthday Southern Girls!

Mine and Holly's girls and Granny all have birthdays in a row...Bentley-June, Callaway-July, Jameson and Burkley Ann (same day)-August, and Breland and Granny (same day)-September. So, for Labor Day weekend we celebrated their Birthdays. The cake was funny. We just bought a WalMart cake and put Mini dolls that was like each girl on top...we even found a Grandmother doll!

We had fun. My grandparents are hanging in there. Right now my Grandfather is battling Prostate cancer and my Grandmother is suffering from Parkinsons. Please keep them in your prayers.

Burkley Ann grabbed Granny's nose and would not let go...what a little stinker!

Cousin Visit!

We went to visit my sister, nieces, grandparents and mother for Labor Day weekend. My Dad bought my mother a puppy- she is so cute. Her name is IzzyBelle. The girls thought she was the best thing ever!
It was good seeing my sister and her girls. The bathtub divas love to jump in a play with bubbles.

Water Slide Mania!

The girls went to a birthday party and had a blast! They had 2 water slides set up. They slept like champs that night!

Back to School!

The girls started back to school on the 12th of August. They were so ready! Callaway started 1st grade and Breland was entering 4K. They love school and are doing really good in their classes. Callaway is starting to read great and Breland is sharp as a tack!

It's My Birthday and I'll Sleep if I Want too!

Burkley Ann had her 1st Birthday on August 8th. We had friends over for dinner and I made her a cake. She loves this little ladybug in her room so I thought a ladybug cake would be perfect!
She was very tired after hanging out with everyone outside and decided to go to bed early for the night. Needless to say she missed the candle blowing and well wishes. I had to feed the hungry monsters! She did not go without her cake. The next day we celebrated with a half eaten cake and SHE LOVED IT! That was her first time with sweets and went to town.

Summer Fun!

I can only imagine in 10 years them riding around looking for boys!
This was a fun day hanging out in the front yard being silly in the sprinklers. It reminds me of when I was a child.
The battery was getting low so Breland stepped in for the rescue!

Where does this go?
Enjoy your freedom, BA!

I CAN WALK! I CAN RIDE!

July...Burkley Ann was on the move! She was starting to walk really good around 11 months. She loves being outside and trying to keep up with the big sissies!
Now, she is running and getting into everything! She is so funny!

At the same time, Callaway conquered the bike without training wheels...just a few falls and "I can't do this" and she had it down pat in 30 minutes flat! She loves it now! Go Callaway!

Callaway's 7th Birthday!

I can't believe my baby is 7! Wow, how time flies!

We had a great day! Callaway sweet friend Emma came over in the morning and we headed to the movies to see Journey into the Center of the Earth. The girls loved it!

After the movies, they played and then we hit the Mexican restuarant and pigged out! Callaway, Breland and Emma get a little tasting of a Sopapia! They thought it was the greatest. Following supper we came home and ate the homemade cake I enjoyed making for callaway. It was yummy. It was a "sleepover" cake with the girls in a sleeping bag. Immediately following cake we were going to go to a play. Well, we did not make it because our sweet friend fell from the trampolin and fractured her arm!!! What a memorible birthday. We are praying that Emma's arm will heal strong and fast. That was our day! Now we are chillin' on the couch. Happy Birthday, Callaway!

New Family Photos..

A friend of mine took these beautiful pictures of our family. The girls did a wonderful job. My little future Top Models! Hope you are having a fantastic Spring!

What's up Doc?

Burkley Ann playing Bugs Bunny!

She loves getting in the tub with the girls. A tub full of craziness!

Party Girls

Who needs a reason to party?
The girls love having fun dressing up and being silly. My parents, sister and nieces came into town and when they went to the zoo they bought face paintings. When we went to Lowe's later, they looked like circus performers! I kept wondering why everyone was starring. Silly me, my children looked like trapeze artists!
Have a party of your own today!
