I want to post some more pics I just have to take the time to do so, but for now here are just a few!

Where did my little girl go?!!

It's amazing how much a child changes in 6 months! I mean Audrey is really looking more like a young lady instead of a little girl! It's very sad for me, I am having a more difficult time with her growing up than I thought I would! She's still my baby girl and she knows that and doesn't mind me telling her that as long as none of her friends are around! Listen to this, last week as I was walking her into school she told me I couldn't give her a kiss anymore! I was so saddened by that, but then a couple of days later she said she didn't mind anymore! Man I REALLY don't want her to not want my loving anymore, I don't know if I can take it!






These are pictures that I took today, I like them! Till next time....

I really need to keep this updated!

Well school started and it was a little rough at first, but now Audrey is doing good. She didn't have homework 3 nights in a row!! That's an awesome break from the usual 2-3 subjects a night! Ummm, I went to babysit my beautiful nieces a few nights ago! Really not much has happened in my life lately or I just can't think of anything right now. Oh yeah, we went to the TN Valley fair one night. That was fun, I rode a few rides with Audrey since she had no one to ride with. We rode one of the rides I wanted to ride and Audrey almost lost it. It was a spinny(sp?) ride that goes up in the air, not upside down or anything, just around and kinda high in the air. Well at first she was freaking out a little over the height, I didn't know she was afraid of heights, she told me, but I guess I didn't believe her. Since she has rode the roller coasters at Dollywood, but I guess things change the older you get! Then after the freak out over heights she was getting a little sick feeling, all I could think about was do not throw up on this ride, at least wait till we get neat a trash can!!! She never did vomit, thank God! After that excitement she rode what SHE wanted and I just tagged along. What else has happened...... I don't know! I'm just going to post some pictures I've taken lately! Enjoy!



















So that's it for now. I would and probably should label my pictures, but I don't want to, sorry!

Back to school :(

I know school started 3 weeks ago, but I just now thought about posting pictures! So here they are!
At the house ready to go!
Audrey and her teacher Ms. Fowler.
My 4th grader!!

So far 4th grade has been a little stressful! Audrey had lot's of homework the first week of school, so when she would get home she would freak out a little bit as we would try to get through with homework! The second week homework eased off a bit, but she started afterschool care. Well she was excited about that at first, but then one of her friends that also go to afterschool care was not very nice to her, so I got to deal with that! This week is going much better(THANK GOD) so I guess it takes some time to get used to school again! I just have to pray harder and more often now, but that is not a bad thing!

Looking good! (or at least try to)

So recently I have decided that I need to dress a little better, more like a girl so to speak. No more jeans and t-shirts and flip flops :( I sure do love my flip flops! My awesome friend Carla has also told me that I should try and dress better(in a nice way though!) so I am trying to take her advice. I feel like all I do anymore is shop though!! I mean don't get me wrong I LOVE to shop, but now it's a little different when I go shopping cause I'm looking for clothes I wouldn't normally look at or I would look at them, but not think about trying them on! I am stepping out of my comfort zone a little bit, TRYING to step out!! So I have bought some cute clothes lately: a purple pair of skinny pants which are SO cute, a couple of plaid shirts, I totally love plaid and am so happy to see plaid in stores again, it's been a while, some leggings, last year I so wanted to wear leggings, but I was WAY too self conscious about them, I got gray, blue and black, and I also bought a really cute dress. The dress I bought I can wear with or without leggings! So enough about what I've bought now I have to WEAR them!! Till next time!

what up!

Audrey finally had her first soccer practice tonight! This was supposed to be her third practice, but they kept getting rained out!! SO this was the first night of practice AND the first game is THIS saturday! Crazy, I know! They did add one more practice for this friday evening just so they can get to know each other better and figure out how to play as a team! Audrey really needs some practice, she has fun, but she doesn't GO for the ball. I think since this was the first time they all interacted with each other she was a little shy, so I think she will get better!

Anyway! I totally need to be a little more, well a lot more outgoing or I may never meet anyone special!! So there was a cute boy at church this past sunday and I should have said hi or how's it going or something! Guess what? I didn't, because I am what you may call an introvert, I always have been especially around boys! I can talk to the other sex after I kinda get to know them a little better. If I'm just thrown out there I tend to clam up or just try and blend into the wall or something! I have to say it is one trait about myself that I would LOVE to change! So about this cute boy, I had a crush on him when I was younger and he is still so good looking! And from what I hear he is single too! Whatever, I just couldn't make myself say hi! I mean he doesn't even really know me, so why would I just go up to him, my former crush, and say hey how's it going?! Not that he is the ONE for me or could have been the ONE for me but I blew it, I just could have practiced talking to a cute boy! OH AND I even dressed pretty Sunday! I actually had on a cute dress, which if you know me does not happen very often! Okay I think I've vented about how crazy shy I am enough! So now I have to try really really hard to climb out of my clam shell and just speak!!
So that's what is going on inside my head tonight, sorry it is a little middle schooly(is that a word?) but I do need to vent and get things off my mind sometimes!
Later tater!

Introducing my new niece Franchesca!

Weighing in at 8lbs 4ozs and 20 3/4 in long! She is such a pretty baby, and I'm not just saying that because she's my niece :) she really is! Mom and dad are doing well and the little sis is doing well so far, she likes to hold and kiss "her baby"! My brother has such a cute family, it's hard to believe he has 2 girls now! I'm happy with my 1 girl, I can't imagine having 2!

Pretty girl

Samantha and her girls!


So this one I played around with on photoshop and I really like it!


I played around with this one too and it looks pretty good if you ask me!

So I went on a little trip to a little place by the name of New York last week with my bestest friend Carla and her children! I had a really good time there and can't wait to go again, hopefully next time us ladies can go with no kids! Or with the kids again, it doesn't matter to me! I had planned on posting about it and posting pictures, but the baby came along and so I may not post pics of the trip. Anyway I had fun seeing what parts of the city we did see and meeting Carla's family, I know she may not have enjoyed herself as much as me, but I'm very thankful that she asked me to go with her! Thanks friend!
Till next time-
