Cooler Weather= New Shoes

Well, the mornings this week have been a bit cooler which means my favorite time of the year is here---FALL!! As most of you know, Katie Lee has been super attached to her Dora flip flops all summer. I have been able to get her to just wear them in the car and then put on her real shoes when we get to our destination. I was not sure what I was going to do this fall and winter when she would need her piggy toes covered. Wear socks with flops of course not!! Well, Monday night we were at Wal-Mart looking in the shoes for some new play shoes and she spotted them!!!
Princess Boot House shoes.
She was super excited over them and I caved in and got them for her. I did however, tell her that she could only wear them around the house.

Here she is in her princess boots with wand and crown giving her princess wave.

Happy Birthday James Elizabeth

Today we celebrated James Elizabeth's 2nd birthday. She had a Tinker Bell party. Laura made a beautiful cake. I think all of the girls had a fantastic time and loved the cupcakes.




The Birthday Girl!!

The pretty cake.

Watching the gifts being open.

Tea Party

Today we participated in the Jessica Elkins Tea Party. Check out the Decatur Daily tomorrow. We should be in it.

This was our table. Kathryn did a great job of setting it. It was just beautiful.

The Girls enjoying a sucker off of another table.
Katie Lee made a pretty necklace with help from the big girls

and decorated a cookie.

I will post pictures of other tables later.

Future Photographer

Katie Lee has recently decided that she should be ther person taking pictures now. I guess she has had enough of me always taking pictures of her, and she thinks she should try it out for herself. Here are a few of her pictures that she has taken all by herself. I thought that she did a pretty good job. She looked at the screen and then pressed the button and actually got complete pictures of people.

I Just Don't Understand

This morning on my drive to work I am listening to the radio and the news come on. It said that an 18 year old was charged with two counts of 2nd degree murder for running a red light and killing a lady and her unborn child. Ok I completely understand that and think that consequences should be taken. What I don't understand is why this is considered murder of an unborn child when someone else can purposely go to an abortion clinic and kill their on unborn child. I don't understand how the "system" can say that one is murder and the other is not. I bet the guy who ran the stop sign did not think to himself, "hey I think I will go kill an unborn child today." Granted I don't know his frame of mind when he was driving. However, that mother who goes to the abortion clinic does think, "I am going to go to this abortion clinic and get rid of my problem." That sounds more like premeditated murder to me. There are plenty of people who would love to have had that baby.
Just my thoughts for the day. I would like to hear what you think. You can agree or disagree. That is your right.

Autumn Days

I love the fall. It is my favorite time of the year. The trees changing into those beautiful colors, cotton in the field, geese migrating south, cooler days, pumpkins, and longer nights are just a few of the things I love about fall.

You've Got to Check It Out

Back during the month of August, I posted several birthday parties at my sister, Kathryn's home. After posting them, she told me that as soon as she got her new living room furniture and got rid of Granny furniture that I had to post about it showing her style. Kathryn's house is Zeb's granny's house which is about 100 years old. It is just beautiful and she has an eye for decorating. Anyway, she and Zeb got new living room furniture a week or so ago. All of the pieces are in and they look great! Please go over to Bonafide Southern and check out her new furniture and tell her I sent you!!! :)

Daddy's New Toy

Last night Donnie comes home with this box

It is a MojoDove. It is suppose to make the real dove come to where you are. We now have several of these Mojo birds--ducks, geese, and now doves. Boy it takes a lot of work to kill a bird. HA

Katie Lee was super excited about Daddy's new treat. She helped him put it together. She helped him round up all of the remotes to take the batteries out of to use for Mojo. She loved turning the wings on and off.

Rain, Rain I love to Play
