Time with family is time well spent.

She was a little curious about what this thing was.

She wants to be like her daddy and play the guitar!

Kameron loves his cousin.

He was being so gentle...like a little gentleman.

This boy's got class!

Big dog for a big boy!

I've been having a pretty great weekend so far. I went and bought a majority of my senior costume last night with Dad and Krista, so now I just have to build the rest of it. I watch the TV show called "The Office" all last night and this morning online and then spent the rest of the morning mowing. Dad and I went over to the Mclains for ribs and Missy and Kameron joined us. It was nice just to get away for a while and spending some time together as a family. The pictures up ahead are from babysitting the other day and from tonight. Kam sure loves his cousin. = )

A Day with sunshine...

I've been having an OK week so far. It has been a mix of really great things and really bad things. First off, there was a boy I knew all through my years in Lebanon and whom I got to know in 8Th grade when he rode our bus home. He committed suicide this past weekend and it traumatized our whole town. His name is Jacob and as of right now...my school is still in shock. It's been hard, but everyone is leaning on their neighbors' shoulder for support and its great to see just how supportive my class mates are of everyone around them. We'll miss you Jacob. Peace.
Some great things that have happened...include my homecoming dance. I know I didn't go into much detail last post but I had a BLAST. I didn't think that going with friends would be all that much fun as having a date would be but I had tons of fun anyways. Just because I didn't bring a date doesn't mean I still cant dance lol.
As of right now, I'm spending time with my favorite niece and I'm just relaxing. I look forward to this day each week and I enjoy watching her.(Even when I do it for free lol...but don't tell Tricia haha.)

Kickin' it up

This is from homecoming and from dinner last night with the Mclains. I had so much fun this weekend and as far as the dance goes...it was a blast. I danced...a lot... and stayed over at Krista's afterwards.

The video above is funny...I took that while babysitting last week...so Enjoy!

Strike up a pose!

Sofia's BIG show!

Another wonderful day with Sofia is just what I've been needing.
PS...those pictures at the very top were taken AFTER a nap lol...so we were still waking up a bit.

Kameron

A Happy Birthday Song for 2.

I know I missed your birthday Paw-Paw and I'm sorry. I made this video as a present to you and Maw-Maw as a birthday present. If you can't understand what I'm saying...all I say is that I had been working on writing a song and that this was a main chunk of the melody. I dedicated it to the two of you as a birthday gift.

I Love you both!

As an added bonus...here are some pictures of Kameron learning how to ride his bike this afternoon after some refreshing ice cream!

He wanted to be a biker boy.

My Saturday off!

The Mclains over at the house for a visit.

Wow...first Saturday off since I started! lol. I spent the day working on college stuff after sleeping in until 12:30 pm. (I haven't done that in forever...so I was allowed lol) But later Dad and I went to get some Chinese and then The Mclains came over for a nice night of chatting after a 5 hour bike ride!(Sofia's working off some of that baby fat! lol) Sofia woke up to visit and had fun in Kameron's old play chair and rocker. She loved the dinosaurs and farm animals. As far as my life personally goes...school is starting to cool down and a routine is setting in. College is a HUGE deal and it takes HUGE effort to get there so I'm getting so many opinions and pulls in different directions trying to go on the right path. But in the end it's not what everyone else wants me to do..it's what I want to do and what makes me happy for setting up my future. I just want to say thanks to the people who are understanding and helpful to what I'm about to get myself into. It's nice to have a shoulder to lean on.

Sofia and Mommy playing in the Dino chair!

She loved those toys!

This is Sofia watching the LSU game....so she says..."What do you mean LSU lost the fumble?"
