The Biggest Loser

Season Premiere September 15th

And Why do you care???

Well, we know someone going to be on the show starting this fall!!!

Yep!! Someone for you to root for to the end!!!

My Mom's cousin who lives in Mabank, TX, their daughter made the show!!

Her name is Abby Rike, and she lost her whole family in a car wreck!! A very touching story!!

I have thought about her a lot over the past years; I went with my parents and visited them one summer. I can't imagine what she feels and what she has gone through!! But don't just root for her because of that....root for her because she is such an amazing woman and is an inspirtation to us all!!

You can check her out on this website. She is wearing a green tank top and has her hands under her chin in one picture!! If you click on that picture, she is in a video as well talking about her story!!

Go Abby Go!!

Teethy Tuesday

Thanks to everyone who left me Facebook message, texted me, called me, or blogged me wishing me a Happy Birthday.

Back to Reality for Kylee and me --> Mom went back to school yesterday :(

About the MOPS program at Glen Meadows, you do not have to be members at the church to join. Paul Ann is also offering one. It meets every Monday. Glen Meadows meets every other Friday.

I thought this picture captured Kylee's 4 front teeth. She does have one more, but it is way in the back.

And sorry to bore you again with Kylees' tricks. But this is what she did while we were eating supper the other night. And the next time I looked up, she was all the way down and the stool wasn't turned over or anything. :) I don't know how she got off.

25 Years ago today....

Just Kidding!! But today is my 25th birthday. Mama will surely start out the story of my birth with, "25 Years ago today..."!! :) I love it when she does that!! Isn't that what Mom's are supposed to do!!

Anyways, Jason completely surprised me with this when I came home from eating lunch with some friends on Saturday.

He actually went to town by himself. He went to the Carriage, then to Family Christian, and then I think he probably stopped by Patti's Party to get the balloons and banner!! He didn't know where Carriage was or Myer's Drug (To get Vera Bradley stuff), so he called his mom and she helped him. I did get this book, and a really nice card, and some cash to buy a purse. Thanks to a great Husband!!

I also better not fail to mention another person's birthday....Yes, we share birthdays!! Happy Birthday, brother-in-law, Duane!!!

MOPS

No, I'm not talking about mops you clean your floor with. Although, I do like my Swiffer alot in the picture with Kylee. It seems to do the job just as well as the OLD bucket of soap and water would do, even though it doesn't take as good of a picture!!

I am interested in joining the Mothers Of Preschoolers at Glen Meadows this September. Does anyone know anything about it, ever been in a MOPS group before, or maybe would like to join with me?

I know Glen Meadows meets 2 Fridays a month, and you don't have to have a "Preschooler" because obviously I don't. I had a friend who was in it, and really liked it. Let me know what you've heard!!

She has more TRICKS up, you know where.....

Her Sleeve!!! :)

Yes, Kylee has more tricks up her sleeve. If you can believe it!!

Her latest is this!! Climbing into her little grocery cart. Yes, she does rarely use it for it's intended purpose, which would be to push it around.

She loves climbing into it, and sitting there for a little bit, then standing up in it, and she is so PROUD of herself for accomplishing this giant feat!!!

And the best part is, no help needed. I will come in the room, and there she is sitting pretty in the grocery cart!!

Also, it seemed that everyone in my family had an OPINION about when I should start the weaning process (mainly Mom and Jason). No, Jason really didn't care, he just couldn't believe we will still feeding 4 times a day.

And Ihad noticed it was more of a struggle to get her to eat at the 4 feedings just because she was not hungry enough, so she wouldn't eat!! So, after discussing it with my close confidant (aka...Brianne), Monday morning, I decided it was a good day to start, so now we are only nursing 3 times a day. Cut out the noon feeding. Haven't felt the effects YET, just knowing it will catch up any day now. :)

I am making a banner for Kylee's Birthday Party, and working on some invitations for them. I know it is still over a month away, but saying I am excited about it, well that would be an understatement. I'll post pictures of the banner when done. It is made out of scrapbook paper and tied with cute ribbons.

Also, mom and I are making quite a few of the Taggie blankets you see around. They are turning out really cute, which is good because I know lots of girls pregnant!! YEAH!!

Small Update before a BIG weekend!!

Hello!! I thought I would give a random update before the weekend!!

Mom, Kylee, and I went to Kerrville yesterday to a fabric store called, Creations. They had like 7 or 8 rooms of fabric floor to ceiling; it was really fun. We were in there for about 2 hours, so after about the first 30 minutes Kylee was tired of it, so imagine trying to keep her happy for the rest of the time. :) But we did find some good fabrics, and I will update as we make some projects with them.

I have a hair appointment today. I think I am just going to get it highlighted, not cut. I am trying to grow it out for the fall.

Tomorrow is a very busy day for us. We are taking pictures in the morning. My Grandmother was the 4 Great-Grandkids picture with her. Then we are eating lunch for my aun'ts birthday. Then we are headed to Robert Lee for a swim/birthday party. Then in the afternoon Jason, and the rest of the Pastor Search Committee are meeting with our "prospective pastor.", then we are taking them out to eat tomorrow night.

So we have a busy day.

Then on Sunday, we hear the preacher preach, and then God-Willing we will call him to be our new pastor. Pray it all works according to His Will!!!

Here are some random pictures of Kylee over the past couple of weeks!!

If you look closely you can see 2 bottom teeth!!
