Garden Party Frock GIVEAWAY!!!!

Just having fun!

We went to my grandparents for dinner the other night and me and Audrey had to mow the backyard, which is fine cause we like to do that, they have a riding lawn mower so it's fun! After we finished mowing we went across the street to the neighbors house to pick apples from there tree. It was a lot of fun, Audrey had never got to go and do that. I have some in the past when I was younger. Luckily I brought my camera that evening, I was so glad that I did cause I got to take some pictures of everyone picking apples. So here are a few of my favorites!




This was also Audrey first day back to school, she is a third grader now!! That's so hard to believe, her classroom is on the top floor, I had no idea 3rd grade was on the top floor, she is growing so fast! She had a very good day and she really likes her teacher.Audrey eating her breakfast.

Ready to walk out the door to school!

Poison Ivy! YUCK

Last Thursday my poor child had a rash on her face, so I thought. At the time it looked like she had put something on her face that irritated it. Well I put some lotion on it and forgot about it. The next morning she woke up and it was all over the side of her face. That's when I looked a little closer, and when I did I noticed that it was bumpy and scaly looking and I realized it was poison, on her face! I was not happy cause once you got it it's very hard to get rid of, plus school was starting in 4 days. So my baby get's to start school with poison ivy on her face. I guess it could be worse! Oh yeah yesterday I found more on her back and on her shoulder! So weird!

It really doesn't look that bad in this picture, but you can see how her face isn't smooth and it's puffy.

Just wanted to put something on my blog!

Well hello there! I haven't updated my blog in a while so I thought I would just put a little something on here. School starts in just a few days, I'm kinda glad and a little sad. Audrey I think is ready to go back cause I've been working everyday this summer so we've not got to spend as much time together and do stuff like we usually do in the summer. We did manage to go to Dollywood a few times and we went to the zoo one day. I would have liked to do more fun things together, but just didn't get to. Enough whining about summer time. She did get to go with me to work some and spend time with friends while I worked. She did enjoy that.

Haircut!

Audrey overheard a conversation about hair and cutting hair. So last night when we got home she wanted me to cut her hair, I thought about it while she took her shower. So when she got out I said I would do it. She showed me how short she wanted it so I did it! I think I did a pretty good job too! I really like it short and so does she. She looks older.

This is a side shot!

Here is the back, so short!

I cut aboout 5 inches off!!

My baby girl is 8 now!!

Audrey had a really good birthday this year. We had a luau party at church this year, she only invited 8 girls so it was a great amount for a party! Audrey dressed up like a hula dancer(of course!) It was fun, we had a pinata, limbo, roast the pig(like pin the tail on the donkey), we had tribal art and the girls danced around like hula dancers! Then at the end we had some water games so everyone got wet!! Here are just a few pictures cause I took A LOT!!

Gone Camping!!

We finally got to use out tent!! We had never been tent camping b4, we always used a camper. Well we decided to go. Of all the places to go we went to one without showers, no water hook-up, plus no power! It turned out to be very fun! I really enjoyed camping in a tent, having air mattresses helped too! This is our wonderful tent!

Audrey playing in the creek! It was a little chilly for me!


We went to the Cades Cove campground, and there you have to worry about bears. So each night we had to make sure ALL food was put in containers and put in cars that way the bears won't come to our campsite! While there we HAD to drive the Cades Cove loop, of course! We have always drove it Hoping to see bears, I would say out of all the times I've been and I've been A LOT, I've only seen two bears! This time was awesome, we saw two momma bears and four cubs! Not only did we see them, one of the bear families was right next to the car!! I was pretty scared but SUPER excited! The cubs were climbing a tree next to the car and the mom was there close! Crazy people were getting out of there cars to take pictures and that momma bear did NOT like it! She would run away a little bit and stand up to look around and then she would run back to the tree where the cubs were! I just knew that momma was gonna get her some dinner that day!!

This is Audrey with 2 cicadas! These things were EVERYWHERE, Audrey enjoyed picking them up and throwing them in the air so they could fly. I don't think she really helped, but she thinks she did!
