First Day of First Grade!!

Well, it is official! McKenna is in first grade! She started on Monday! However, it was very quiet when we got home from taking her to school!

Two comments:

From McKenna~ "Mom, did you miss all of my questions while I was at school?"

And later...

Me~ "So, it sounds like you had a good day."

McKenna~ "It wasn't just good, it was amazing!"

So, its just me and Caris until school starts for her next week. She has been wanting me to play...alot. Like tea party, beauty salon, dance recital...etc! Today she came into the living room with the saddest face. When I asked what was wrong, she said "I miss Sissy." Awwww!!

We are planning on tiling our bathroom this weekend~sounds like a fun way to spend the holiday!

Have a great day!

My Baby is Four!

It's hard to believe that four years ago today, Caris was born. It seems like yesterday! Caris is sweet, dramatic, sensitive, funny and a cuddler. Does anyone in the world love Disney Princesses as much as Caris? It would be hard to believe! She loves to dance and watch herself in the mirror. And she loves her big sister! She has been excited for this birthday for weeks now. But one of the first things she said was-"after I'm four, I'm gonna be five!" So we will celebrate her birth today and all of the blessings that she brings to our lives. I know God has big plans for her and I can't wait to watch as each day as she continues to grow! I love you my Bug!!!

Have a great day!

PS-The Olympics rock!

McDonaldLand Cookies

Do you remember them? There was always a bag in your Happy Meal...Well, they are my favorite cookie, besides chocolate chip, and you can't find them anywhere here!! They all sell the "made-from-scratch" ones. This past January, I found them in Kansas~at a McDonald's on the turnpike. So, on the way back, I bought 5 bags. They would need to last until June, when I went through again. Barely made it! So, in June I bought another 5 bags~gone! My wonderful Dad drove up to KC last Friday and stopped and bought me 3 bags! Sadly, there are now only 2 bags remaining. Does anyone know where you can buy them in the DFW area? In Kansas, they aren't on the menu, you have to ask for them! Let me know if you have some information! They're so yummy!

Project Runway!

"Suede loves Tia. So Suede would never give her up."

"How are you this morning Suede?"
"Suede's fine."

"Suede is here to bring it!"

Suede was selected to be on this season, not for his designs, but quite simply to make me crazy! Ugh!!

And did Jarrell sleep with that stuff on his face? Gross!

Loved Tim trying to figure out how to say "Holla atcha boy!"~too funny!

I absolutely loved the skirt that Leanne made tonight. You couldn't even tell that it was two pieces! And, I gotta say, Kenley is rockin' it! I think she has a distinctive POV. And Terri's was pretty cool as well~loved the pants!

I really thought that Jennifer would be sent home tonight, but when Nina had NO comment about Emily's~that pretty much sealed the deal. It was pretty hideous. Maybe if she would have made the dress itself a vibrant color, instead of black, that would have helped.
Can't wait for next week!

Too many?

How many is too many? Did I take too many pictures?
In 30 minutes...I snapped 260 photos of McKenna and Caris during Fun Day at swim lessons. Did I go overboard? What are some of your photo numbers?

A couple of rants...

First off, I can't stand Love Field! I went to pick up my sweet Grandma yesterday and ugh! Its far, the parking is awful and the parking is awful! We drove around for at least 10 minutes to find a space and then it was a long hike to the terminal! But, Southwest gets the job done! The flight left KC at 1:05-they were in the air at 1:05. It was dues in at 2:30-they were at the gate at 2:15~amazing!
Second, for all of you who watch Project Runway...is it just me or why do some of the designers~Suede and Blayne~think they need to have some kind of schtick? Like Suede (is that the name your Mom gave you?) talks about himself in the 3rd person~so annoying. And Blayne ~he is way too tan~saying everything is ____licious! Babelicious, tanlicious and on and on.
I loved the dress Kenley made last night! It was so cute! The other one I liked was Terri's-it looked very wearable. But sending Wesley home was the right choice! His hem was a mess!!!
Well, we are off to take my Grandma to lunch and a little shopping! Maybe I will have time to scrap later. I'm almost finished with the mini album from our trip to Dinosaur Valley at Spring Break! It's pretty cute!! Have a great day!!

Happy Fourth of July!!

Well, we made it back from our trip through the Midwest! Yea!! We were so glad to be home! I'll update and share pictures on that later! McKenna said she never wanted to get in the car again! So we spent the rest of the week doing laundry and getting caught up on stuff around the house. I did have a massage on Wednesday and Chris played golf yesterday. Last night we celebrated the 4th a little early-by watching the fireworks in Southlake. We continued what has become an annual tradition by watching with our great friends the Phillips. Here are a few pictures from last night. We always have such a great time together!!

Here are our beautiful girls! We hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th!!
