2010 School Pictures - Kindergarten

Chloe had her Kindergarten pictures made - and of course, we bought some.




Times sure have changed - now you can select the background color, you can have their name printed on the wallet exchanges, etc., etc. I remember getting school pictures made - and yes, they were in color - but we sure didn't choose the background or even question it. Now, even in Kindergarten - that school picture goes in a year book. Year book? Who ever heard of getting a year book in Kindergarten! I think it costs MORE for Chloe to be in school than it costs when she went to day care and pre-school!

Oh well - she's worth EVERY penny and MORE!

HAPPY 74th BIRTHDAY MOMMA!


My sweet momma turned 74 on Tuesday!  Happy Birthday Momma!

Just like she typically does - she's been celebrating for over a week now!  Just a few of the things I know about - She got to go to Outback for dinner, she got to go to her daughter's place with family, she got calls from New York (and she's going to visit them soon), her mother-in-law cooked lunch for her, her sister cooked supper for her!  And, there are probably others that helped celebrate that I don't even know about! 

Some people are lonely on their birthdays - but I don't think my momma will ever have to worry about that.  Why?  Cause she makes other people feel special and they're happy for a chance to make her feel special!

When I was little, momma would correct me and I'd be pouting and mad.  Daddy would say - "Be kind to your mother - she's the best friend you'll ever have on earth" - I used to get so mad and think "Why are you taking up for her?"  But, Daddy was right - momma is the best friend on earth!

Love you Momma!

September Fun

Yes - I realize it's already October.  Too much fun stuff has been going on!  LOL  Here's a few pics of the fun we had in September...........



Collin had his 4th Birthday!  Aunt Chloe invited him over to swim and spend the night. 
Looks like they had fun!
Good thing - cause the pool came down the next weekend :0)


Had lunch with Chloe at school
We had our 5th Annual Water Day at Grace Assembly of God!
This year - Collin wanted to be dunked in the dunk tank - so he did!



Chloe was really missing her niece Catelynn, so her mom and dad let her come over for the weekend. 
We had such fun!  First, we had a complete manicure and pedicure.  The girls loved getting their legs and hands rubbed - especially with the oily, soft water. 

And, THEN - we had a TEA PARTY!!  Oh, What Fun!!!



We even used Memaw Brannen's China!!! 
(yes, I was a little nervous about the possibility of china breakage - but they did great!)



They Loved Desert

And, after a weekend of pampering and having tea parties -
they got up and got dressed for church...


I think they're so pretty!



And you would think that was a lot of fun for September - but wait - there's more - LOL.....

CURTIS TURNED 50!!!!!!

Thank you to EVERYONE that helped him know he IS special.
He received over 50 text messages, Emails, Phone Calls and Cards!!!


front row:  Catelynn, Chloe and Collin
back row:  Terry, Chelsea, Julian, Curtis, Colby & Amie
Not pictured - but they did come - Crystal and Lydia

Curtis was surprised when he was greeted by Julian saying "Happy Birthday Popaw!" 
and then the family just kept coming in the door.  We enjoyed a BIG dinner of beef roast, pork roast, green beans, mashed potatoes, carrots, rolls, and of course - cake and ice cream!

Time Keeps on Slippin, Slippin, Slippin....

Into the future..... okay, well, that's part of a song that got in my head when I realized how many events have already slipped by and I haven't even told you about them yet!  These are just some from August.....

Chloe got her ears pierced!

First Day of Kindergarten!
All is Well!

Fortunately, Chloe's going to Yates Primary - where her Aunt "Cammy" teaches! 
Jessica started school at Cleveland State Community College.  I'm proud we have girls in school.  :0)

Think she needs a haircut?


Chloe got her FIRST hair cut EVER

Curtis and I went to eat at Outback for our 6th Anniversary!! 
Chloe loves our anniversary - cause she gets to come! :0)
