These Boots are Made for Gawking....


We went to our favorite boot store this afternoon so Matt could get a new pair of hiking boots for the summer. The walls are lined with hundreds of creepy stuffed creatures of all sorts collecting dust (Reminds me of the Wax Museum, that place gives me nightmares).
This was "G's" first time in the store and was amazed at everything she saw, pointing and yelling at all the animals......I wonder if this could pass as a trip to the Zoo, Hmmm?
Anyways, here she is helping Matt decide which ones to get. Back and forth she went piling the ones she liked in the middle of the isle.....Busy little bee, I'm sure the sales man appreciated all she left for him to do once we left. "Tee Hee'!
On another note..
For me going to the boot store is like a husband who's dragged to the mall by his wife. I spend most of the time sitting on a stack of boot boxes somewhere between a stuffed Bobcat and a Jackalope patiently waiting and staring into space. There isn't allot of people watching opportunity unlike the mall so I wind up strolling through the store looking for the most ridiculous pair I can find and let me tell ya, its not hard. What makes these so ridiculous to me is they are Men's Boots!


Holy Cow or Gator, what ever they are!

Mom Hugs are the bestest, bestest thing in the whole world, ever...



Mothers Day was great. I got this sweet little card from Genevieve along with a Daisy Tree. Matt grilled ribs for dinner and I made a Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler "Yummy".

Happy Mothers Day!

Playing with Playdoh

Genevieve got to play with Playdoh right after lunch today. I think she's played with it before at Gymboree but never at home. I've been a little reluctant because I wasn't sure what she would do with it. She did a great job and she kept it on the table most of the time.
Fyi: Playdoh sticks to (man made) stone. It was weird, almost like the stone started soaking it up? I guess I should just let it completely dry out and then see if I can scrape it off with something. If that doesn't work I'm sure I can find something on the Internet.

Braves Game



Matt and I went to a Braves Game last night. We were fortunate enough to get to enjoy the game from a suite and we had a great time. The little kids were more into the game than the adults. I had more fun just watching them.
The Braves won, Yay!

Two Postings in One Weekend


Hi Nonni! I wore my new dress to Church today. Can you guess which one it was? The first one or the second one you sent me? Hee Hee! Just kidding, I'm actually glad that we have two, its such a flattering little dress I'd hate to think we'd have to retire this one early on account of a nasty spaghetti stain or worse!!



It was such a beautiful day, when we got home from Church she played outside before lunch. Lexie stopped by yesterday evening with her parents, they were taking stroll down our street and we ran into them as we were getting ready to leave. She and Lexie played in the drive way while we talked to Nikke and Jeff. I wish I had my camera, they gave each other the sweetest hugs in between taking turns riding Lexie's Tricycle.

Up Doo & Telling on You


I tried again to put Genevieve's hair up into a Pony Tail and I do believe its getting there! We've tried it before but her hair was just too short, most of it fell out.



What does a little girl whose almost 20 months do when no one is looking? She climbs on the Dining Room table to play with my decorations! She is so intrigued with these things, they are balls but she is not allowed to play with them? Gee-wiz, she just doesn't understand what the big deal is? I guess I can't blame her...We adults don't make any sense sometimes do we?

Girls Get Away


I met my friends Mary and Hope in Savannah this weekend for a fun get away. Mary was there to take another section of her dreaded CPA exam and we used it as an excuse to all meet and have some fun.


We stayed in a hotel with a great view of the River, ate oysters on the half shell, took a walking tour in the historic district and just strolled around town talking about our families and how we wished they were there.

Quick Fix


Squeaky, creaky doors? Forget the WD40, if it's not in one my kitchen drawers then I can't find it! Just spray a little of this everyday product on the hinges, swing the door back and forth to work it in, wipe off any residue and VOILA! No more noise.
Now you can sneak in and out of the front door, garage door, back door, or bathroom with out alerting anyone of your presence!
Enjoy!

A rose by any other name........



We spent most of this past week working on our yard getting it ready for the warm weather. We planted hundreds of flowers, tilled and planted the garden, mowed the lawn, stained and put together a new picnic table, power washed the deck and sidewalks, etc..... Late this afternoon I was coming out of the garage with my pruning sheers and gloves to take a crack at the rose bushes when I saw this.....

The perfect shot of Matt & Genevieve, she was helping him plant flowers. I think I got 20+ candid shots of the two of them surrounded by flowers!
So Lovely......Jessy
