It's not ok

Last night I was watching the George Strait recognition on television last night and something was not ok with me. It is fine to do somebody else song, but don't try to do the song in a different genre. Jamie Foxx (I really do like but I think he needs to stick to movies) did one of George Strait's songs and did it in a soul style and added words. This is not ok with me. This is like Jesse from Full House changing Jail House Rock to a slow song at his and Becky's wedding. This is just not ok. I guess I am not a fan of change on great songs like "You look so good in love." So Jamie, stick to the movies and not George Strait songs.

New Sleeping Habits

Tillie Ann has a new fetish with her hairbrush and her toothbrush. I know it is because of her new pearly whites that are slowly coming through . When she is on her changing table she will scream until she has one or the other. Once she has that it is a peaceful diaper change. Well the other day I had changed her diaper and then I rocked her to sleep. Do you think she let go of her new comfort item? NOPE check it out:

Playing in the Mud

Last night Tillie had here first experience at the softball field. She totally enjoyed it. In the south this time of year is very humid and last night was not an exception. There was no wind and it was just hot. Tillie was red cheeked and getting ill and the ballgame was not over so there was a mud puddle near by so guess what we did? You got it we played in it!! She had so much fun and wanted to sit down, but then she would have eaten the mud. Who says that you can't play in the mud and still have a bow in your hair!

Can you find the footprints?

Greatful

My normal routine that I do when I get to work is to come in put my lunch in the fridge, pass out morning work, and check my emails and my the blogs that I follow. My coworker, Ashley, got me interested in Amy George's blog. She is the lady who has raised a lot of money for the neonatal intensive care unit for the local hospital in memory of her daughter that was born and shortly after went to be with Jesus. I was reading her recent post and it just spoke mountains to me. I just sat and cried. I know that I am blessed with a healthy daughter, but I don't think that I realize how many women out there are struggling with infertility, loss of a child, or miscarriages. I think that sometimes I need to be brought back down from my "perfect world" bubble and realize that things could be different. Thank you Father for giving me Tillie Ann. She is truly a gift form you. Thank you so much Father.

Wordless Wednesday

Cleaning out and bringing in

This past weekend was a little bittersweet for me. For a while now we have needed to clean out baby toys and clothes that are too little and put in the attic and bring in new toys that she can play with that are for her age. Well I finally got Buddy to help me with this. I didn't think much about it until it was all laying out and ready to go up, then it hit me. She is growing too fast it seems like only yesterday she was laying in the bouncy seat and swinging in her swing that she is now too big for. Time really goes by too fast. So, this day was a little bittersweet for me. Time goes by too fast!

Old Little Toys:( New toys:)

This my lovely husband "smiling" for the camera. He was aggravated because I was taking pictures to blog this.

Thank you sweetheart for helping me make room for more toys! :)

This is what Tillie Ann Was doing while we cleaned up. I am raising a child who would rather be outside or in the water than anywhere else.

"My Bestest Buddy"

When I was a little girl, I was so scared of my grandfather, Daddy Jack. He always tells of having to get the daycare workers to put me in the car because I didn't want to go with him. this happened until the day that he put me on a horse and from then on I was his "bestest buddy". Well Tillie Ann seems to be following in my footsteps. She is going through a stage where she doesn't like men. The only one she would go to is her daddy. Other than that she would scream her head off until a female got her. Well this behavior really upset Daddy Jack. He tried so desperately to pick her up and she would just scream. he would even tell her that he would be her "bestest buddy". Well this past weekend she must have figured out that her would not hurt her because she finally went to him tearless and giggling. I believe that this made his day. Check out the smile on his face.

Well Daddy Jack I think you have a friend for life or as you like to say a "bestest buddy" for life.

Mother's Day 2009

I didn't know how special Mother's day could be until yesterday. It was truly a very special day. I was kinda dreading it to tell you the truth. Holidays around our house are usually stressful because we have to make so many appearances. But not this year. We celebrated with the Buddy's family on Saturday night and then with my mom on Sunday. We even went to Wal-Mart together while The Ragsdale's kept Tillie Ann. My day was absolutely perfect. Tillie Ann got me a new Auburn tag and the House DVD set.

It looks like this but it is blue where this one is orange.

Buddy gave me money to spend on myself. I seem to spend it all on Tillie when I have money so, this time I plan to go shopping for myself.

Here are some pictures of my true 1st mother's. I am very thankful that God has blessed me with such a precious, healthy little girl.

This is our family eating for Buddy's mom's day.

Acting goofy outside were we ate.

A Post of Many Colors

I just realized that I haven't posted in a while. So many things have happened over the last couple of days that I thought I would post them all together. So hold on here goes. Last weekend my mom and sister had a yard sale. These are always so much fun. Tillie Ann and I went to just visit. Of course it being the end of April and the first of May it was raining. Even through the rain it seemed like they had a lot of fun and got rid of a lot of things. Mom and Tillie with her beads. She has a hard time letting go of things that you give her. She just screams. Any suggestions on getting rid of that just let me know.

I know that my wonderful, loving sister told me not to blog this but I had to.

So I am sorry.

:) :)

Going on to the next topic of the stroller. This was suppose to be a birthday present but it came early. Thanks BB. We love it.

(please don't look at the dirty house.) Daddy waiting for her in case she falls.

And finally, Tillie has her first goose egg knot on her head. She was playing by the coffee table and misjudged the distance and "boom" and here come the tears. We didn't notice it until she went to get in the bathtub and WOW what a bump. So I did the only thing that I do when things like this happen: I call mom. She reassured me about putting ice on it. So Tillie was going to sleep and we iced her down with her boo-boo-frog. the next morning it looked so much better. I guess this is the first of many.

So this has been our week. Here is a happy face saying: "Have a wonderful day!!"
