Leigh Ann's Birthday Tomorrow!!

I remember being about 4 years old and going to the beauty salon with my mom. I had my doll with me and her eyes changed colors when you moved her arm. I was in my little dress, prissing around. My mom ran into a friend there. She had her little girl with her. She was a tomboy who wanted nothing to do with girl things. She liked me anyway, we played outside in the phone booth in front of the shop. We played Wonder Woman and Superman.

Leigh Ann and I have been friends ever since!!! She will wear girl clothes now but still hates shopping!

Happy Birthday LA, I love you bunches and am so thankful for having you in my life for so many years!

Memories With Daddy

My Daddy took me out every Monday night. Every Monday night we would take these silly pictures in the photo booth from where ever we were. Sometimes we took them at the fair, sometimes a store...My daddy would say "keep these forever, you can look back on them when you are grown". I didn't pay much attention to him. He would write the date on the back in his tiny handwriting every single time.
Now, I am sooooo thankful to have these sweet pictures. I love them and treasure them more than anything money can buy. The pictures take me right back to the fun times. I always knew my daddy loved me. What great memories!!!

9/11/2001

I will always remember where I was when I heard about the planes hitting the WTC....I was taking Ellie to preschool and Emma was a newborn....
I remember going in to pick Ellie up in the afternoon and there was complete silence in the halls. No one was talking...we all had this look of shock on our faces and we all wanted to run and hug our children....
We will never forget....

Happy Mother's Day!!!

One of my favorite memories of my mom is riding in the car on

the way to see her parents. It was about an hour drive and she would sing with me. She would sing a little song about chewing Juicy Fruit gum. I loved it. I have so many fun little memories of my mother. She has always been crafty and amusing. :)

I have always known without a doubt that my mother loved me and would always be there for me. She is fun and very funny. I am so glad my kids can enjoy her and love her.

Thank you Mima for being the best Mother!!

I love you bunches
