Pictures of the Fairy Princess

I promised pictures of our weekend in Memphis, and here they are. We left last Friday about 2:45 heading up, and arrived at Wolfchase Galleria about 6 pm to meet my stepmom. I had to run by the Disney Store to get some Disney Dollars for our trip in September, and my stepmom offered to get Wee One something while we were in there.

I was so proud of Wee One, because she picked out a Marie doll (little white cat from Aristocats), and kept saying she was fine with that, and didn't want anything else. I'm sure it's from me only letting her get something small if we go to the store, and if she finds something else, then she has to pick which of the two she wants. I finally had to pull her aside and tell her that I was very very proud of her for not asking and begging, but that Big Momma (my stepmom) wanted to buy her stuff - the doll *AND* something else. And if she saw something she wanted, she needed to tell her. She finally picked out a Tinkerbell dress and light up shoes along with the doll, and Big Momma got her some Disney Dollars and a bag for Disney as well.

Here are some pictures of the princess in the new dress, and of her with her Big Momma.







I love this picture because she's in her pink sparkly dress, but has bandaids on the knees and her feet (which you can't see) are filthy.


And this is a bonus sleeping pic. Notice her pillow is under her feet, and her blankets are all pushed to the side and almost off the bed. This is a very typical sleeping position for her!

I'm getting addicted...

First off, we spent last weekend in Memphis seeing my stepmom, and I have pictures. However, I'll have to wait until I'm on a real computer and not my phone.

Second, happy belated father's day to not just my dad, but all the great daddies out there.

Now, on to my post! I've been trying to get up and run 3 mornings a week. I still can't run half a mile without walking some of it, but I'm getting extremely close. I've also gotten to where I look forward to going out there and running, because I fell great afterwards. Today it hit me just how much I am starting to like it. We went with my sister to see Transformers at midnight, which means we didn't get home until about 3am. My alarm goes off at 6:30am for me to go run, and I actually got up and went when it went off.

I'm still awake at 9:40pm watching the end of the LSU/Texas game (we're winning 11-4), and I don't fell *that* bad, even with 3.5 hours of sleep. I'm actually ENJOYING running in the mornings, and that's something I never thought I'd say.

First mobile post!

I have the new phone, and had to try out the internet! It's not quite as easy as using the computer, but still pretty awesome. Yea for birthday gifts!

Birthday is coming early!

My birthday isn't until next month, but I'll be getting two birthday presents tomorrow! Mike is buying me new running shoes, and my sister bought them with her discount (she works at a sports store) and my youngest sister is bringing them to me tomorrow. I decided on Asics, and I LOVE them. I kinda wish they weren't pink, but oh well.

And of course, I get my phone tomorrow!!! I already have some movies and apps ready and waiting. The store opens at 8, so I'm going to try to go there before I come into work tomorrow morning. I can't wait, and thank you again to Daddy and Debbie!!!

TypoGenerator

I found the coolest site through stumble the other day. It’s called TypoGenerator. You type in what you want it to say, then it uses various fonts, colors and backgrounds to make nifty artsy images from your words. Here are two I did.

More pictures

Wee One spent last week with my mom and went to VBS at her church. Most of these pictures are from the commencement service last night. It was an Australia themed VBS, and we came home with lots of pictures of kangaroos and lots of boomerangs!

Also, yesterday my sister and her boyfriend decided to wash the dogs, and Wee One wanted to help. Those are just various pictures of her playing in the water and making a total mess. ;)

Kangaroos!




She was picked to hold the bible for the pledge


Singing "Deep and Wide" (and her lyrics are "there's a mountain flowing deep and wide!")


With me!











My sister and her boyfriend in a water fight. I think my sister is winning.

Lots of pictures

A few weeks ago we went on our first family camping trip, and Wee One got to make and eat s'mores for the first time. She refused to toast the marshmallow, but loved eating uncooked ones with chocolate and graham crackers anyway.

Also, Mike's sister had her 10 year dance solo last weekend, and we were there so that Mike, his brothers and his dad could present her with flowers afterward. She was SO pretty and did so well. And I'll admit - I cried. I saw this child in the hospital when she was born, and she's turned into such a beautiful (inside and out) young lady. I'm so very proud of her!





Helping gather wood for the bon fire








I have no idea what she's so scared about, but this picture makes me laugh!


S'MORES!!!!!
