Long Lost Love

I found these pictures tonight and just about lost it.....I miss my "little girl" so much and it is so hard and exciting at the same time to see her grow. These pictures were taken by Samantha Beaston on Kaitlyn's first day at her house when she was taking care of her. The little boy is Ethan and it just looks like the two of them were meant to be friends. How cute!

"The Witch is in"

I wanted to share some of our halloween decor' with you......I love halloween!!!

Please stop by this year and pick up some good ol' treats.

Handtowels....how silly.

This is Ned....he is dead......he talks to you.....and he also likes to stick his tongue out....somehow I don't think Ned is quite right!


The most appropriate of them all......my front door "the witch is in!" Go ahead figure this one out on your own.......I think when Dallas said it was appropriate he was referring to me....... but, I still have not yet got it.

Short but sweet....happy halloween folks!

Officially Spoiled

The great thing is.....Kaitlyn has a new outfit, hair ties and clips......

So, today on our way home after picking the "spoiled" one up from school, she told me---key word, "told" me that there is going to be a box at the front door for her. I proceeded to let her know that she doesn't just get boxes left at the front door for her on a regular basis. As confidently as she could possibly be, she said, "well, there will be one there today." I explained to her I did not want her feelings to get hurt if there was not a package, so I told her "there would not be one."

Well, little did I know.....the "spoiled" one showed me. We pull in the drive and got out of the car. She ran to the front door and brought me a box........what in the world........NANA????? I knew Nana was getting her this button dress, like Kaitlyn's cousin, but boy, did I feel like the jellyfish today.

So, here you go Nana, here is her button dress however, she will not put the blouse on. By the way it is really cute. It has buttons on the sleeves.

"Mysterious" Kaitlyn

Today, Kaitlyn and I had another mommy/daughter day. We went to Luby's for lunch and then went to get mani/pedi's. It was so nice and fun......

So, we get home and Kaitlyn knocks on the wall and runs to me and says, "Mommy, someone is at the door." Of course I knew it was her knock so I went with it....I said, "Should we go answer the door and find out who it is?" She said, no.....come on let's hide. So, we ran to the back bedroom and hid in the bathtub. I asked her, should we go answer the door? and she said, "no, mommy, this is mysterious!"

I love that my little girl has found life to be "mysterious". I hope it never stops and she enjoys the ride the whole way through........I know that her Nana & Grandpa really want her to be close to them, but since she is not, I have to say.....I think they have a huge part in her life and how she thinks life to be "mysterious". She pretends all the time with Nana and Grandpa in mind, and most of the time we are pretending we are on a plane going to their house. I am so proud of Kaitlyn and her imagination and I know they are too.

Brushy Creek Water Park

Kaitlyn running through water........she is absolutely having a blast!

The big collied.......Kaitlyn and this other girl ran smack into one another when running through the same water explosion. Kaitlyn looked at me like she was about to start crying and all the sudden, she stands up and starts running around again.......YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

Kaitlyn is having a blast running around the water park. Just look at that smile!!!!!!
