Pageant Queen

I was never into doing any type of Beauty Pageant when I was growing up. It was just not my thing. You would think since I was a cheerleader that I would have been all up in that but, no thanks! Apparently my daughter got a different gene(well now that I’m typing this my Grandmother WAS very much into pageants! She was Ms. Senior Alabama!!!). She’s been pretty adamant lately about doing a pageant. But she is SO shy around strangers… I don’t know what to think.

I watch Toddlers and Tiaras because I think it’s HI-larious. She watches with me and that’s when she started talking about it. I will NEVER be like those moms! EVER! Then Monday we went to try on my dress for the wedding and the lady that owns the shop started talking about how poised she is and how she should be in pageants…so I asked Reece if she wanted to look at dresses and she said yes…then asked if she wanted to try one on and at first she said no then changed her mind! I mean, how cute is she???photo

Hands ON the hips! hee hee!

And just for fun here’s my Grandmother’s picture! I’m sure she’s flaunting a ginormous crown in Heaven!

Working Hard or Hardly Working??

Our server crashed at our office over the weekend. All of our computers run off of it. We can use our computers for emails and such but the big programs we use to do everyday things are on the server…that’s been in the hospital since yesterday morning!

It had to be wiped completely clean and all of our files had to be restored. Fun times. We should have it back in the morning! I sure hope so because I can’t stand being behind like this!!

So today the sister and I tackled an office project! We decided our dry erase board needed an Extreme Makeover! See all those little lines??DSC_0787We scrubbed them all off! DSC_0788And what fun would we be without a self portrait??!!

KT’s Lingerie Shower

Ok folks, this post is rated NC-17! Get the kiddos away from the computer!

There, you have been warned! :)

Allison and I hosted our step-sister Katie’s lingerie shower this weekend. It was fun and she got some GREAT stuff! It would have been even GREATER had I not lost my gift. For reals. Still can’t find it!

DSC_0779 We played a game with Katie that was SO funny. We had asked Ben(the Groom!) to come up with several questions for Katie. Just random stuff that she should know the answer to! Each time she got a question wrong, she had to put a piece of gum in her mouth! At the end of it she had SIX pieces of gum in her mouth! SO funny! My camera died so I don’t have pictures of the fat cheeks! boo.DSC_0780 She may or may not hate us for this! bahahahahaha!

Tay Tay is the FAVORITE!

My little nephew is the cutest little guy. He calls me Tay Tay, Josh is Uncle Josh(he really can say it!) and Griffin, Peyton and Reece are coushins(cousins)! Love.

Yesterday I brought him one of those little pink snowball cakes and sent it home from work with Allison. A little while later I got this picture!

Happy Birthday E!

Our sweet niece turned FOUR last week! That’s just insane-o to me! Her party was Saturday at the place where she and Reece take gymnastics! It’s so fun because the adults get to play too! :)

I believe Griffin had more fun than anyone! His head was soaking wet with sweat and he didn’t want to leave. DSC_0725

Hairy Situation

I think I blogged about this several months ago. Reece has been asking to get her hair cut as short as mine for a while now. While I think it would be SO cute, I’m just not ready for that. I still like to put her hair up in pigtails! So a couple of months ago she got her hair cut just below her shoulders. She loved it but she has still been asking for it “short like mommys”.

I had a hair appointment yesterday. Since we live in the boonies now, I’m not taking Reece all the way home and coming all the way back for my hair appointments. I would just rather take her with me. Plus, she’s no trouble at all. She just sits and eats a snack. Well on Monday when I told her we were going Tuesday to get my hair done she said, “And me too!!! I get my hair cut short like yours!”

Crapity crap!

I texted my fantabulous hair dresser to see if she could cut hers too. And of course she said yes!

Reece settled for a few highlights…

I AM KIDDING!! We were just having a little fun!

…and about shoulder length! :)

Chickens and Pinterest

First of all, I LOVE me some Pinterest! I think it’s just fabulous! For those of you who haven’t heard about it, it’s a website where you can “pin” different things you find around the internet. That way, when you find an idea for something you won’t forget about it or where you found it! PLUS you follow all your friends and even people you don’t know and get all their ideas too! You have different “boards” to pin things on so you can keep organized! Love!

About chickens. Hubs We eat ALOT of eggs at our house. And so we decided when we were moved into the country we would get chickens! Then once we moved Hubs decided that we would wait until spring. I didn’t really want to wait because it takes several months for the chicks to grow and start laying eggs plus when I want something I want it NOW but he wants to get the coop built and have it ready for them, which makes sense.

And that’s where chickens and pinterest come together! I found the cutest, most fabulous chicken coop on there! Isn’t it so cute?!?!ChickenHouseAnd here’s the blog it came from http://www.therachelberryblog.com/

Ours won’t look exactly like this but it will be very similar! It will probably be early spring before we get chickens. I want at least one “furry” one! Like Tori Spellings..

I doubt very seriously that I’ll be dressing mine up! haha!
