Miss Rea's Birthday Party {The animals}

Birthday girl.

The mama of the birthday girl, The auntie and the grandma.

The hairiest bunny. EVER.

Backyard Petting Zoo.

After church and lunch today 

we headed to Miss. Rea's birthday party.

A backyard petting zoo, cake and presents.

We all had one stinkin good time.

And by the end of it, I'm pretty sure we all smelled

of sweat and animals.

So worth it.

My crazy face is saying, Hubby please hurry up and take this picture.

This pig is not smiling it is squealing LOUDLY. 

And I wanted badly to put the poor thing down, but desperately wanted a picture.

He got some fun ones. :)

Be back with more....

Busy Hands, wandering mind.

I've started 5+ necklaces

and have now just this morning started 3 pairs of earrings.

I can not seem to focus on just one from start directly to finish.

I somehow got one necklace finished yesterday evening.

And posted in the Stellajade shop.

And this morning managed to make myself focus

on getting just one more to full completion. 

Thank Goodness.

And somehow I've managed to get started on 2 more necklaces.

Which leaves me back at 5 still unfinished but in the works.

Maybe I'll focus enough to finish all 8

waiting pieces.

But, odds are I'll start at least 4.5 

more pieces before that happens.

Oh and I hate potty training.

Loathe. 

The end.

Texas Tornados.

Kenzie and I waited out the storm 

in the closet.

She LOVED it.

So we had some fun...

A tornado hit around here, 

but didn't actually touch down 

in the city where we live.

So that's positive.

But my husband was sitting in traffic

watching the tornado that touched down.

SCARY.  I'm glad he's safe.  And I'm glad it wasn't me.

I surely would have peed my pants.

Glad we're all safe, and my family and friends in the area are safe.

But, prayers need to be said for those who were not as fortunate.

Labor Day 2010

was a fun day that began with

a great time at the Labor Day Parade.

We went to watch my sister in law 

march in the parade.

It's fun to go back and see our old 

high school bands marching as well.

She made a new friend, who happened to be rocking the same cute little shirt

that we scored at Walmart for $1.

Loving the parade and all her beads.

Solo Road trip.

A little peek at my

just me, myself and I

mini road trip.

Parts of my trip via my iphone...

I love this kind of ice. But this was NOT a yummy coke.

Something was wrong with it, and I sadly didn't taste before I left.

Hate when that happens.

Yes, I was that girl. 

Taking pictures while driving. 

The drink picture was taken while at a gas station.

So I wasn't moving in that one at least.

Judge me if you must.

I actually pulled over for this one.  The sky was so amazingly beautiful.

This does not do it any kind of justice.

Being by yourself in a hotel room, doesn't leave much room for 

exciting things to do...

I had just scarfed down some Delicious

funnel cake sticks from burger king.

Have you had them? SO good.  so NOT healthy.

Should have gotten a picture of those yummy treats.

Instead you just get me.

Good morning.

Looked like a big fireball in the sky.
