Forgotten Photos

I forgot about a these pics a while back:

Here's Hallie going to Soccer Camp

Owen was sick

Isn't he pitiful

He was well enough to go 3 out of the 4 days
THEY LOVED IT!

Hallie loves playing dress up with Knox..I'm not sure that he likes it though.


Hal's first day of school
She was SOOOOOOO excited!!

As we were walking into school she said, "Momma, I'm a little scared and a little nervous." I told her that she would do just fine and have soo much fun.

I cried.

A lot.

I wasn't expecting that.

Here she is after school.


MoooOOM!!



I got my hurr did for Chad's reunion. I got bangs and went darker.
Here we are about to go into the reunion.

They had their reunion at the Del Monaco Winery.



Isn't this adorable..he loves taking baths..it's his favorite thing to do!

Don't worry this post isn't all about food..although, believe me, I could make a post of it's own, JUST about my favorite foods.


New Favorite Website:
Pinterest
I could spend forever on this site!


New Favorite Lipstick: red

I've always wanted to wear red lipstick, but I've always thought I was way too pale to wear it. But I read this blog post: HERE and it gave me the courage to buy some. It took me about a month and I wore it to church one sunday. I felt foolish the whole time. The second time I wore it, I felt a little better..now I don't care at all, I love it and I'm going to wear it!

Okay, I do care...what do you think??

Favorite Earrings:
When I was younger my Great Grandmother gave me some red rose earrings and I absolutely LOVED them, I was devastated when I lost one of them (I still have the one I didn't lose). I was soo excited when I found these:

The red ones are from Forever 21 and the pink and aqua are from a coffee shop in Cookeville called Poets.

New favorite store:
H&M


I just went shopping there for the first time a few weeks ago, I LOVED it, there were tons of cute clothes and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. For me and my kids! Here is one of the outfits I got Hallie.

Favorite Book Right Now: Hard Times and Holy Places by Kris Belcher
The other day when I posted about my "attack" I was really depressed. I just didn't understand WHY it was happening to me. After reading this book, about a woman who has struggled her whole life with eye cancer, I really do not have any reason to complain. My life is pretty perfect. I can handle this pain once/year or so..I have soo much to be grateful for!
