MORE PICS..........

SUMMER TIME.......

I LOVE SUMMER TIME! I HAVE NEVER BEEN A HUGE FAN OF HOT WEATHER, BUT SUMMER MEANS I GET MORE TIME WITH MY BABY LOVE. MY OFFICE CLOSES ON FRIDAYS DURING THE SUMMER AND WE GET A WHOLE WEEK OFF IN JULY. THAT MEANS I GET TO SPEND 3 DAY WEEKENDS WITH TATUM BELLE. I LOVE IT!!!! SHE IS SO HILARIOUS THESE DAYS, SHE IS TURNING INTO A REAL LITTLE GIRL THAT YOU CAN CARRY ON A CONVERSATION WITH. SHE SAYS THINGS LIKE " I LOVE YOU ALLIGATOR" AND "I DO IT MY SELF." SHE USED TO SHY AWAY FROM THE CAMERA AND NOW SHE WILL CHEESE AND STRIKE A POSE. I SWEAR I LOVE THIS CHILD MORE AND MORE EVERY SINGLE DAY. I WISH I COULD EXPLAIN OR EVEN FIND THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE JOY THAT SHE FEELS MY HEART WITH DAILY. THANK YOU LORD FOR THIS AMAZING LITTLE GIRL THAT IS GROWING UP SO FAST!!!

SUMMER TIME.......

!!!!!!PARTY TIME!!!!!!

WE PICKED A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO HAVE TATUM'S 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY ON, WE HAD IT SATURDAY JUNE 6TH(MY 24TH BDAY) AND IT WAS PERFECT OUTSIDE. WE HAD A BACKYARDIGANS THEMED PARTY AND I WAS UP UNTIL 1:00AM MAKING HER CAKE BECAUSE NO STORES HAD BACKYARDIGANS CAKES. THEN TATUM WOKE UP GROUCHY, SHE WOULD NOT LET ME WASH HER FACE OR FIX HER HAIR, I'M LUCKY THAT I EVEN GOT HER DRESS ON, SO IN THESE PICS SHE IS A LITTLE DISHEVELED. WE HAD SUCH A FUN DAY, WE HAD WATER BALLOONS, WATER GUNS, A PINATA, AND WE DECORATED ICE CREAM SUNDAES. IT WAS FUN BUT I AM SO THANKFUL THAT BIRTHDAY PARTIES ARE ONLY ONCE A YEAR, BY 10:00AM SATURDAY MORNING I WAS SO STRESSED AND READY FOR IT TO BE OVER WITH. WHAT A FUN AND GORGEOUS DAY WITH OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!!!

TATUM TURNS 2!!!!!

MY BABY IS 2, I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT, IT SEEMS LIKE I WAS JUST PLANNING HER FIRST BIRTHDAY. SHE HAS HAD SUCH AN EVENTFUL WEEK. MONDAY WAS HER FIRST DAY IN HER NEW CLASS "THE POND". IT IS SO DIFFERENT, THE KIDS ARE LOUDER AND I NOTICED TODAY, THE TEACHERS ARE A LOT MORE HARSH. THEY AREN'T FRAGILE AND QUIET LIKE THEY ARE DEALING WITH BABIES, THEY ARE STERN AND LOUD. SO SHE DID GOOD ALL WEEK, BUT THIS MORNING ON HER BIRTHDAY SHE CRIED SO HARD WHEN I DROPPED HER OFF. IT WAS AWFUL, THE TEACHER HAD TO HOLD HER SCREAMING WHILE I LEFT. I TOOK A COOKIE/CAKE TO DAYCARE AT SNACK AND THEN WE WENT SHOE SHOPPING. THAT WAS AN EXPERIENCE, SHE TRIED ON EVERY SHOE IN THE STORE WHETHER IT WAS A BABY SHOE OR A 6 INCH STILETTO, AND SHE PRANCED AROUND WHILE I AM TRYING TO FIND HER A NEW PAIR OF SHOES. SO WE HAD A FUN DAY ON HER BIRTHDAY, WITH JUST A FEW MINOR 2 YEAR OLD BREAKDOWNS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATUM BELLE!!!!
