Blog Hop

This weeks blog hop is 3 things that you might not know about me. Here goes:

1. I want to be a truck driver when I grow up. It is just something about being bigger than everyone else I guess.

2. I am learnign to love sewing. I have never posted any of my work, but maybe one day it will come.

3. I am striving to run a 5k in September. I am running 5 days a week right now. Doing good so far.

The invitation

Here are the invitations. A sweet lady off Esty made them for me. You just send the information and she creates the invitation and emails it to you. SO neat and fast. What do you think?

A trip to the dentist

As you all know this month is totally packed full of activities having to do with looking your best. On Friday, I told Buddy that we really needed to try hard for no bumps, bruises or scraps on Tillie so she could look her best for her pictures that were taken this morning. So far so good, until Saturday night. Tillie has learned to walk and all of you know that babies that are learning to walk have the "occasional" fall. Tillie was walking on the hardwood floor and tripped on her feet and BAM face first on the floor. Of course we say "UH-OH", thinking that maybe it was a no bleeder tip situation, oh but no. It was pouring blood. But, I stayed calm and tried to find out where it was bleeding from. Her lip started swelling as well as her tooth. We decided to call our family dentist and get her checked her out and he said that her tooth was definantly pushed back up into her gum and that if there was no nerve damage that it would come back down by Christmas. So several Popsicles later, the swelling has went down enough to make so great pictures.

Check out my lip on the day after!

On the way to see Dr. Barker!!!

Blog Hop

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite pictures. It is of Jackson and Tillie Ann. I don't know if he was giving her loving and she didn't want it or if she was making him get out of the way. Who know! It is just cute.

Party planning

I am in full mode of planning Tillie Ann's 1st birthday party. The theme is going to be polka dots. I have almost everything finished but a few small details. I have decided to cook her cupcakes instead of buying them. Here is a photo of what they will look like. Just icing and m & m's.

This is her plate. Some are like this and some have a 1 on them.

So start praying now!!! I have most of the invitations filled out and ready to be mailed, so keep a watch on the mailbox. I think I have been planning this party since she was born. So stay tuned to hear more about Tilliepaloosa 2009.

And the rockets red glare.....?

Our family started the 4th of July weekend off with a birthday party for my grandmother. We met at her house on Friday night for a birthday party. Tillie Ann had so much fun spending time with the family members, especially her favorite cousin Jackson. He shared his 4-wheeler with her and they had a ball. BB (my mom) pushed and pushed them until she could not push anymore. We had a scrumptious meal and wonderful desserts. Pop "I" and Clint cooked up really good hush puppies and fish. Jackson was chasing a bird and was about to go into the corn when Uncle Buddy saved him. Smiling for the camera. Waiting...... BB says "NO MORE" Our chefs. The next celebration was back at the camp ground with Papaw and Nanny. We had the traditional meal of boiled shrimp, potatoes, and corn. This year a new item was added: crawfish. Everyone seemed to like the new item. We played at the camp ground until Tillie Ann could play no more. So this year we did not see any rockets of red glare, but watch out next year because we will be there. Playing hard. Look at those little red cheeks.
