This year was Tim's class reunion. If he told me once, he told me a million times to remember that he went to a small high school in a small town and it would be nothing like mine. Now, I LOVED high school! So, in turn I also LOVED my class reunion, but I went to a large high school with a large graduating class-you know so EVERYONE didn't know your business. Man, was I in for a surprise at Tim's! <br />
Just to brag on my hubby for a second, he was Mr. West TN for football 3 years in a row, he was also offered multiple college scholarships, as well as, being mentioned in the paper (if not an entire article about him) each week after the game. In other words, he was the bomb-diggity in football. I know, I would make a good football wife, but he was tired of it after college-sigh.<br />
Ok, so back to the point. You would've thought Tim was still IN high school and still IN the paper every week. It was like he never left, now for my hubby, this was torture, he hates being the center of attention. But, for me, I could NOT be prouder of him! I like to tell everyone, he is my trophy husband-lol!Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053894289104606615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711718978499602901.post-88070787461333520662011-08-14T19:12:00.000-07:002011-12-21T12:10:48.617-08:00Happy 2nd Birthday, Sweet Girl<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinKBnoUkUVzEgw48xhJJwx8yqRV-8Ys1MLR8YnRJagrJGhnadPJHSo5V2DOkJLNovAsOVSrkBgmZpjp1scMeNRxHQ99W_Mbz63OJ1cPzvD2IetvMx4VD9evR3kOTMMMvHuKqywzd0KgV3p/s1600/2nd+bday+guests.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinKBnoUkUVzEgw48xhJJwx8yqRV-8Ys1MLR8YnRJagrJGhnadPJHSo5V2DOkJLNovAsOVSrkBgmZpjp1scMeNRxHQ99W_Mbz63OJ1cPzvD2IetvMx4VD9evR3kOTMMMvHuKqywzd0KgV3p/s320/2nd+bday+guests.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688676412452231778" /></a><br /><br />We had Lyllian's birthday party at the park this year.

This past summer we had the opportunity to visit the Sprinkler Park in Collierville a few different times with some friends. Lyl wasn't sure what to make of it at first, but after awhile, she was right in the middle of it all. What is better on a hot summer day than a picnic lunch and a water park?!?!?Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053894289104606615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711718978499602901.post-85496434289943016212011-05-28T14:11:00.000-07:002011-12-21T12:16:02.560-08:00Redbirds Baseball<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a BLAST at the Redbirds game this year! This is Lyl's 2nd time to ever go to a baseball game (the first time, she was still teeny tiny) and she was mesmerized. She sat with Pops most of the time and LOVED it! She especially loved the playground they have for the little ones, but she did not like that the big kids were playing. It looks like more games will be in our future next spring!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg5f1u7UHcd4GrL4TJ9UP5ie8_j701WUSw9AfC7gNZWZcMlXzEwlKh0T7RGtmAM2R-lQnzutsarCpRN960CS9J-A7g6m5KhoWaiPHmOxVivFRAjSbkpLKR-IFXAlw-NB8EpsVBvwtHEJEu/s1600/Redbirds+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg5f1u7UHcd4GrL4TJ9UP5ie8_j701WUSw9AfC7gNZWZcMlXzEwlKh0T7RGtmAM2R-lQnzutsarCpRN960CS9J-A7g6m5KhoWaiPHmOxVivFRAjSbkpLKR-IFXAlw-NB8EpsVBvwtHEJEu/s320/Redbirds+2011.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053894289104606615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711718978499602901.post-32239744491307394042011-04-05T19:10:00.000-07:002011-04-05T19:34:25.666-07:00Favorite Things March<div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div>If you have never heard of Katie over at <a href="http://www.takeoffwithkatie.com/">Cleared for Takeoff</a>, you should check her out.

I have been for a few years. Anyway, we have always gone to UCA Nationals in Orlando in February. Well, this year we decided to go to NCA Nationals in Dallas, which happened to be the first week in January, no biggie.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 194px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 156px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562624993202310418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmKQI0owoR_zuTB8jPZyh0-7227LcxX1iZPqPmAgQtV_ylesWpvPce9rppjpjvByhF3oPwyjgehJ4GYQj3phWZ8GnQDPDysdthezJxkbLx7wG0rrudNQMPrdXiyF-hUuH4nubrrSkduRxI/s320/ncaLogo.gif" /><br /><br /><div><div><div> We left on a Thursday, we were suppose to return on the following Monday evening. We finally returned the next THURSDAY afternoon!!! Yep, you read that right, THREE extra days!!! Now, I love vacations and I will lengthen a vacation any time, but not without hubby and the sweet girl. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>I have a LONG story about what all happened, but I won't go into all of that, because-really-do you care? Anyway here is the short version:</div><br /><br /><div>We arrived in Dallas at 11:30 Thursday evening with 18 kids and 5 adults, we were EXHAUSTED!!! We had flown from Memphis to Atlanta and then on to Dallas. We get to the hotel (the Sheraton) and are waiting in line (the other sponsor and myself) and this gentleman (using that term VERY loosely) comes up to us and says are y'all with the group of 800 that are checking in? I said well actually it is 23 and yes, we are. He then asks us if he can skip us in line, what?! Are you kidding me, we tell him no, politely and tell him there is a second line that may be moving faster. He gets pissed, asked us where we were from, we say Memphis, he responds obviously not from Texas. He then walks behind a post and calls us B***hes. Yep, welcome to Dallas!</div><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 283px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 178px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562627059495616306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOLkpXN1DTvPMAMfHx4SAZIfKWAnqJneexqibRW2TUdoS3HV_ygSnizLcDaGbV6jxyS_okz5aTM5wfrTJ7Et8EvOev86n28-dHqsJx8WYPOARtSfSDaMfdY5nFHxxBOwT3zS6oMMUiJwYx/s320/snowy+street.jpg" /><br /><br /><div>All goes well from here, the squad does great, they place 2nd in cheer, 5th in dance, and 3rd in performance. That is until Sunday night...snow and ice are coming through and our flights have been CANCELLED<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 315px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562627053501232578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihqBnov77fwbWdksjYhv027uy8reKAlFoyqXshOSgDDe1DeWXXncK40cXXMYLRRm4h-WdHeK39RyJpTe2EeGBLZp5qRx1Q0cZMtKrCFVJ-Ks6tYJ3wAdxFvaSWevB8FMCGmVLDrCx8Fsh7/s320/all-flights-cancelled.jpg" /> until Thursday morning! I head downstairs to see if we can extend our reservations because we can't get home, not because we want to extend our vacation. I was told no by both the reservation manager and a supervisor. When I tried to explain the situation again to her, she replied "We didn't make you stranded" I asked if she could help me find a hotel then, and would they be able to provide me with transportation since we had none and the only jackets our kids had were their cheer warm-ups (the temp was suppose to be 55-60 the whole time we were there)-her reply "we don't offer that service" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! I was livid at this point. I find a hotel that can pick us up and has room for us. The next morning, I speak to the hotel manager and tell him what happened. He was embarrassed and says they could've let us stay one additional night, yes they were booked, and they would have been able to provide transportation. They will be getting a letter to their home office from ME!!! The manager bought us all lunch in a very nice restaurant and had the chef make one of our kids a birthday cake (which happened to be on that day).</div><br /><br /><div>We get to the new hotel (The Hotel Lawerence) in Dallas. It was built in 1925, but is in good condition. They were EXTREMELY nice to us and the kids. The kids think they see a ghost that night. The next morning they do research and find out the hotel is on the list of haunted hotels in Texas and was featured on Ghost Lab. They spent the rest of the time talking to EVERY employee they could find to ask about it and trying to find ghost. Oh the stories they will have! </div><br /><div>We finally made it home Thursday, in time for the kids to change into cheer uniforms, get to school for the game and for the 8th graders to be recognized for 8th grade night. All in all it was an adventure, not one I care to be on again in the near future, but it was fun.</div><br /><br /><div>Oh, we also took them to the mall where they could browse, Gucci, Coach, Tiffany's, and True Religion. They loved it! And we went to The World Aquarium in Dallas-AMAZING!!!</div></div></div></div>Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053894289104606615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711718978499602901.post-52390336500741017182010-12-26T21:02:00.001-08:002010-12-26T21:04:22.988-08:00Chef Lyllian<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjubWtbpiFfyOx3szaiEVbT7j3BGlktCf6f_f27YYbUZXqLZgzoIOgmlo9nTdlxRgu-WgCZJX-EfTE8aM4O7tgbdauYDyVqlc53z38Uf_bCPdFmpRGI2MWjIv1a7GYA9prwo6n2HqWnpvlB/s1600/Chef+Lyllian.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555223416795668466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjubWtbpiFfyOx3szaiEVbT7j3BGlktCf6f_f27YYbUZXqLZgzoIOgmlo9nTdlxRgu-WgCZJX-EfTE8aM4O7tgbdauYDyVqlc53z38Uf_bCPdFmpRGI2MWjIv1a7GYA9prwo6n2HqWnpvlB/s320/Chef+Lyllian.jpg" /></a> She LOVES her kitchen!!!<br /><br /></div>Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053894289104606615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711718978499602901.post-14355287759311348992010-12-26T20:36:00.000-08:002011-03-21T13:32:51.758-07:00Christmas Fun!We had such a busy Christmas this year! It was fun, but busy! In order to keep from posting a BAZILLION pictures of Christmas, I made a slideshow. I realized after I finished, I was missing Christmas with Tim's mom and Christmas Eve at my parents. I have very good reasons though, we videoed everything with Tim's mom and my mom took all the pictures with her camera at her house. Oh well, you can see what else we were up to this Christmas!<br /><br />I hope you enjoy the slide show as much as we enjoyed experiencing it all.<br /><br />This year was a tough year deciding what Santa brought vs what Mommy and Daddy gave Lyllian. She gets three presents from Santa and three presents from Mommy and Daddy (since that was all baby Jesus got and it helps keep the cost down)-anyway we don't want Santa to overshadow Mommy and Daddy you know-so we had to split up the big gifts. Santa delivered the kitchen and Mommy and Daddy gave her the tricycle. Santa delivered a tea set and Mommy & Daddy gave her the dollhouse. Santa delivered dress up clothes and Mommy & Daddy gave her the Fancy Nancy game. The stocking is from Santa and doesn't count with the three presents. Trust me, everyone else did plenty of spoiling with out Santa's help. She got a table and chairs and TWO ride on toys from CiCi & Papaw; along with some more Fancy Nancy stuff. She got a bean bag & Shopping Cart from Grammie & Pops; along with Angelina ballerina and Oliva dolls. Maw Maw gave her HUGE building blocks, an Aqua Doodle and MUCH, MUCH more. I think she is still overwhelmed and doesn't know what to play with first.<br /><br />Ok, so I have babbled long enough, you really only want to see the pictures of her anyway...<br /><br />***I had to remove the pictures, I couldn't get the Christmas music to turn off***Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053894289104606615noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711718978499602901.post-4974878122094270572010-12-24T23:02:00.001-08:002010-12-24T23:04:29.730-08:00Merry ChristmasFrom our family to yours!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGXdhoDcruvMUdRELFLcuBwCV65SVo_eIkvJBiJqwgPVQyLVOU_OaOMEhEZqG8N8ptcNeED9xYphSnbTp0QUkUY446Vw2jxLI1lMKlxbNniGtdWpFho2REN3CFW8Qjw6QQnc2G55l5s-sZ/s1600/Card+2010.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554512192883847810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGXdhoDcruvMUdRELFLcuBwCV65SVo_eIkvJBiJqwgPVQyLVOU_OaOMEhEZqG8N8ptcNeED9xYphSnbTp0QUkUY446Vw2jxLI1lMKlxbNniGtdWpFho2REN3CFW8Qjw6QQnc2G55l5s-sZ/s320/Card+2010.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div>Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053894289104606615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711718978499602901.post-90445197264650165502010-12-04T19:51:00.000-08:002010-12-04T20:18:59.811-08:00It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like ChristmasAt least around our house it is. We start putting up Christmas decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving. I am all about not getting Christmas out until Thanksgiving is over. <br /><br />Anyway, we have been busy little bees here lately. We made the grandparents their yearly Christmas ornament. Sorry I can't show you, the grandparents read the blog. But I can assure it they are CA-UTE!! Let's just say Lyl did some finger painting on them this year. <br /><br />When we were finished with the ornaments, she wasn't finished finger painting, so we gave her some paper and let our little VanGogh go to work.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh1pRS0Ax1oLA940EIgbffHkNuET2YI_LFqzmisK4StfsQWz1Bc_CnSF9Aa6PEtSjLFRgfiifkfq4iffRe9ZuZLgrn1oKhygQU8I6XMYFkEIkzowrYUbI20c5DIMVKx8A_DMe8NmA0S9mJ/s1600/HPIM1416.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547043424551053266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh1pRS0Ax1oLA940EIgbffHkNuET2YI_LFqzmisK4StfsQWz1Bc_CnSF9Aa6PEtSjLFRgfiifkfq4iffRe9ZuZLgrn1oKhygQU8I6XMYFkEIkzowrYUbI20c5DIMVKx8A_DMe8NmA0S9mJ/s320/HPIM1416.JPG" /></a> She had a blast! She didn't want to be finished when Mommy said time was up. We now have this beautiful piece of artwork up on our fridge for the world to admire. <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi41stkOfjtMLA1UW9_vkOn2rnbyCurTlAdhGMHbXbyDNS4SJUDqRT9ycPVbdSPbWWw5EeSqxEcG6KMOQU-kPNzjg23x3N1h-cQ__RIHFyyKGIAuogy1XAFGIB3siX8hWKekrnLTydw5-T0/s1600/HPIM1418.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547043414072326530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi41stkOfjtMLA1UW9_vkOn2rnbyCurTlAdhGMHbXbyDNS4SJUDqRT9ycPVbdSPbWWw5EeSqxEcG6KMOQU-kPNzjg23x3N1h-cQ__RIHFyyKGIAuogy1XAFGIB3siX8hWKekrnLTydw5-T0/s320/HPIM1418.JPG" /></a> Tonight we went to Pops retirement banquet. He has retired from the Air National Guard after 33 years of service. It was a nice banquet and he received a very nice shadow box with all of his ribbons and medals in it. </div><div> </div><div>One of my favorite childhood memories is baking Christmas goodies with my mom. I decided to start the tradition with Lyl this year. She LURVED it! She did a very good job and only got slightly messy. I think we will have to get her an apron like Mommy's since she likes to help in the kitchen.</div><div> </div><div>She helped cut all of the cookies with the mini Christmas cookie cutters Daddy bought us. Her favorite was the Gingerbread Girl.<br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVm24HxKDa6Ms8Pa6dDVsnMuSduXn39bMz7ocPIX-fKLM962FOIYOtGz0Q7rdsPGTxx1pclekYWSdhG9WT-uYKtcma-zPokG9vl8RXaLinDad0F-UvrsGAIPbab9ia_ZY-LmeTqyjgxobg/s1600/HPIM1423.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547043409435959442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVm24HxKDa6Ms8Pa6dDVsnMuSduXn39bMz7ocPIX-fKLM962FOIYOtGz0Q7rdsPGTxx1pclekYWSdhG9WT-uYKtcma-zPokG9vl8RXaLinDad0F-UvrsGAIPbab9ia_ZY-LmeTqyjgxobg/s320/HPIM1423.JPG" /></a><br />We tried to watch them baking, but since I am always telling her the stove/oven is hot, she didn't want to get near it. At least she listens!- ha!!</div><div> </div><div>After they cooled, I drizzled them with green cookie icing and let her "sprinkle" on the red sugar. We had to keep moving the cookies around because Lyl liked them to be "really" red. She had fun, but I think the thing she enjoyed the most was getting to stand in a chair, cause that's a no-no ya know!-ha!<br /><br /><div> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimZlZJ5oWoBxxugBZO03-_y8qw3p4i_QJ_m_C1Guig6H86ynip6vl5F_ByijU-bcvK-01V3VnOhYO_fk8BBoWe6SQgDLG_LRmFW_uPMo8lrBeM2ufofUO-BLa-iYfiuWicS2qD_mDQxkSF/s1600/HPIM1428.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547043403548197746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimZlZJ5oWoBxxugBZO03-_y8qw3p4i_QJ_m_C1Guig6H86ynip6vl5F_ByijU-bcvK-01V3VnOhYO_fk8BBoWe6SQgDLG_LRmFW_uPMo8lrBeM2ufofUO-BLa-iYfiuWicS2qD_mDQxkSF/s320/HPIM1428.JPG" /></a> </div><div>What are some Christmas traditions you have started with your little ones, or some you can't wait to start?<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053894289104606615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711718978499602901.post-20729724563002976952010-11-12T13:09:00.000-08:002010-11-15T20:16:36.798-08:00Blog Wrap UpNo, I'm not closing down the blog, although maybe I should since I have become a B.A.D. blogger. I simply need to post a WHOLE!!!! bunch of stuff and decided that instead y'all have to scroll through each one, I would put it all together. <div><br /></div><div>Over my fall break, the Lyl and I traveled by ourselves, yes, all alone, on a plane to NH to see one of my very best friends, Rebecca. Now, Lyllian has flown before and she did great, so yes, I was nervous, but I thought, really, I've done it before. Well, yes that statement is true, I have flown with her before, but not by myself. Tim was with us last time and she was smaller. Anyway, it was bad, not throw on the floor kicking and screaming bad, but it was yes, she is my child and yes I realize she is not happy and she is screaming so please stop looking at me bad. I picked the 6 am flight, thinking she would go back to sleep on the plane. She didn't go back to sleep, but the other passengers on the plane DID want to go back to sleep and couldn't thanks to my child. Oh, and I should mention here that these were regional planes, so they were tinytinyplanes. </div><div><span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class="Apple-tab-span"></span>Long story short, she was much better the second leg of the trip and we were both glad to be on land for awhile.</div><div> </div><div>While we were there we went to a little town called Keene. It evidently has the world's largest carved pumpkin festival. I have never in my life seen so many pumpkins in one place, much less I have seen them ALL carved. The town has rafters, yes, rafters of carved pumpkins everywhere! It was crazy and there were a TON of people there.</div><div> </div><div>We also went to visit Quichie Gorge, it was in a quaint little town and was beautiful. But then we went to Woodstock, it was picture perfect, like right off a movie set. I loved it! </div><div> </div><div>I think I said about 4,218 times how beautiful the scenery was, even on the interstate. </div><div> </div><div>We also went to visit Ben & Jerry's. Lyllian loved her icecream.</div><div> </div><div>Lyllian saw wild turkeys in Rebecca's backyard and watched Maggie chase them.</div><div> </div><div>And we finished it out with a trip to the Vermont Country Store, where I brought make some delicious cheese and seasoning packs. We had so much fun and yes, it really was beautiful. So glad you will get a white Christmas this year, Rebecca! Thank you for having us!</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Next up, Halloween! We took Lyllian to Zoo Boo this year. She still has no idea about the whole candy concept, and I'm ok with that, but she did like watching all of the other kids dressed up in their costumes. We also went to our church's Fall Festival. Lyllian did pretty good, she really like the pig race and wanted to take one home (no they weren't real, they were wind-up). She did not, however, like the inflatables AT ALL. She didn't even like the big inflatable slide her CiCi took her own.</div><div> </div><div>We have had our first bout of ear infections. She has a double one, and let me tell you, I felt so bad for her! She didn't want to take her medicine and I know she was miserable. I think she had a diet of water and yogurt for a week. It was all she would eat and the doctor said to let her eat it then. Thank goodness we had 15 months with no ear infections!!! </div><div> </div><div>**Pictures to be added soon!-Anybody know a quicker/better way to add pictures besides typing everything and then having to rearrange for pictures? I really think I am doing something backwards...</div>Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053894289104606615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711718978499602901.post-71258562511312079052010-11-07T20:47:00.001-08:002010-11-15T20:02:51.731-08:00FREE Christmas CardsI love, love, love getting Christmas cards in the mail each year. Now that most of my friends have children, it is awesome to watch them change each year. Also, it is a great way for me to show off my little cutie!!<br /><div><div>Last year, I took pictures of Lyllian at home and sent them in to be made into cards. I say "I", but it really took me, Grammie, Auntie Susan, Auntie Becky, and Tim to get the pictures done.

We have had a very busy weekend!<br /><br />We started the weekend HAVING to eat dinner with our Bunny that we had forgotten existed 20 minutes prior to dinner. Honestly, she found this bunny in her stuffed animal basket and you would've thought she had been missing it for awhile. In fact, it is already back in the basket and has not been played with since. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaUQqr-lo7tKuHZEakfqCkqaBw5LXjg7smSO0IRkJFYo0sIEVuzUEKSdZdUkuy1PG_i31oag1hfda_EjKI_Z8rqAn5pO6l4OYU0SqAs5sIwbmNLfxsUQUCz37StcKuZIvbuKz7LXNDwU06/s1600/Dinner+with+Bunny.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 119px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514013827027406498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaUQqr-lo7tKuHZEakfqCkqaBw5LXjg7smSO0IRkJFYo0sIEVuzUEKSdZdUkuy1PG_i31oag1hfda_EjKI_Z8rqAn5pO6l4OYU0SqAs5sIwbmNLfxsUQUCz37StcKuZIvbuKz7LXNDwU06/s320/Dinner+with+Bunny.jpg" /></a> Friday night we met up with my parents at Danver's. Lyllian always wants to sit in a chair like a big girl, since there weren't very many customers, I let her sit in a booster seat. She loved it and did GREAT while she was eating. But, just as I expected, once she was finished she wanted down, now she sometimes wants down from her highchair too, but she is more contained in that than the booster seat. Needless to say, we didn't stay long after she finished eating.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Pyu_ByBkuCRBrz3mqmX1OhsDoywdwTDutrdIXYXPWcKxtuIONNqrzDIzfVe8JbUGbrmuLkQInNDo1LctGlTObNkYbY95YtGXFr48uOZSO3OtoJTmRKLwSElU2MGfYRmSHMeI2ZUOlTlr/s1600/Danvers.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 119px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514013322776890210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Pyu_ByBkuCRBrz3mqmX1OhsDoywdwTDutrdIXYXPWcKxtuIONNqrzDIzfVe8JbUGbrmuLkQInNDo1LctGlTObNkYbY95YtGXFr48uOZSO3OtoJTmRKLwSElU2MGfYRmSHMeI2ZUOlTlr/s320/Danvers.jpg" /></a><br />We did stay long enough for her to draw her first piece of artwork. I know she is a budding artist. I, of course, saved her artwork and will hang it on the fridge.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLegcG_pMlMwDpVtrr3Wi70RA5dyh-5R-6oQ6TX7c6rDUFQTKnhOdkNXFOLrJS_Dzd63nhourmywAMizvivMbg7QBeu_YJKQS7SNLdAbYuIN5JFxueUKPxuNl7PevNXs_LXF2KzqpZ0iMg/s1600/First+Artwork.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 119px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514013320294529138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLegcG_pMlMwDpVtrr3Wi70RA5dyh-5R-6oQ6TX7c6rDUFQTKnhOdkNXFOLrJS_Dzd63nhourmywAMizvivMbg7QBeu_YJKQS7SNLdAbYuIN5JFxueUKPxuNl7PevNXs_LXF2KzqpZ0iMg/s320/First+Artwork.jpg" /></a> Please excuse the quality of the above pictures, they were all taken on my phone.</div><div></div><div>Saturday was a great Mommy day-I was able to get a pedicure with some girls from work and do a little shopping. I picked Lyllian up and we ended the day with a cookout at Grammie & Pops's.</div><div></div><div>Sunday we went to a BBQ at the Sutherlen's. We had a blast and so did Lyllian, she probably walked 5 miles while we were at their house. She had a great time trying to keep up with the other kids that were there, in fact she was asleep before we got out of their driveway! Of course, I forgot my camera. She also LOVES bbq, she ate off of both mine and Tim's sandwiches.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Monday we had some friends over to cookout and Linda took some pics for us. They turned out GREAT!!! These are just a sneak peek-Grandparent's Day is coming up and I can't give away all the secrets, especially since the grandparents read the blog...<br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMiSiKzSF7Qav9Q7pK8NHdQbRfN-nJTosIIeNQnDYup6PHNI06_qwUkRU4n65yik9UiBWDWll7sq0xiZCf1jSZt4fkivBtk6kJyr6OB8ArKhsfIC2P3JUdXjQyxdUh99xjSd0bC-v6nklS/s1600/IMG_2720.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514013316309887202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMiSiKzSF7Qav9Q7pK8NHdQbRfN-nJTosIIeNQnDYup6PHNI06_qwUkRU4n65yik9UiBWDWll7sq0xiZCf1jSZt4fkivBtk6kJyr6OB8ArKhsfIC2P3JUdXjQyxdUh99xjSd0bC-v6nklS/s320/IMG_2720.JPG" /></a> September is for APPLES!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAqfHj5jwglAfhcJeS-TsqNJ8u6UMSaMBlmwvA50Yrrvr97mb4rLUij3PlgjTl4DAt9L8D_r0ht3V0mSOZpXdDsaVshAs1Cr4KDfGkGxtJE1j_4ZiPZnVINV-Iuy-TV5HMyOQs6qRb9GpG/s1600/IMG_2755.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514013306107972306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAqfHj5jwglAfhcJeS-TsqNJ8u6UMSaMBlmwvA50Yrrvr97mb4rLUij3PlgjTl4DAt9L8D_r0ht3V0mSOZpXdDsaVshAs1Cr4KDfGkGxtJE1j_4ZiPZnVINV-Iuy-TV5HMyOQs6qRb9GpG/s320/IMG_2755.JPG" /></a>We got tired of pictures and we were getting hungry...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw7oOs4pXF3yHxb865Pa2LijCfnnzsN66yoLvOeV4X0N17YwPmbpqbrHVVjxG8nbzUbQ2tNwaS80c7D51YvgSCcIuyaBfJy6_3mfS3F6hZsItsE8dy6rq8dOq0TgYsXOrDtdatzXnePBj_/s1600/IMG_2759.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514013302757265138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw7oOs4pXF3yHxb865Pa2LijCfnnzsN66yoLvOeV4X0N17YwPmbpqbrHVVjxG8nbzUbQ2tNwaS80c7D51YvgSCcIuyaBfJy6_3mfS3F6hZsItsE8dy6rq8dOq0TgYsXOrDtdatzXnePBj_/s320/IMG_2759.JPG" /></a> But by the end we were all smiles again!</div><div></div><div align="left">I think I need another day off just to rest from the weekend-ha!</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day-here's to a four day week!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div>Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053894289104606615noreply@blogger.com0
