BACK TO SCHOOL CARNIVAL!

OUR WONDERFUL SCHOOL HAD A BACK TO SCHOOL KICK OFF PARTY ON SATURDAY. UNFORTUNATELY I WAS SICK AND HAD TO MISS THE NIGHT BUT MARCUS TOOK THE GIRLS AND THEY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. JULIA ENJOYED THE POPCORN, SNOW CONES AND COTTON CANDY AND MEGAN HAD FUN WITH THE FACE PAINTING AND MOONWALKS. SHE ALSO WON A CAKE FROM THE CAKEWALK - IT TOOK A COUPLE OF TRIES BUT FINALLY GOT A AMAZING SET OF CHEESECAKE BROWNIES - YUMMY. MARCUS SAID THE BAND WAS AWESOME - COME TO FIND OUT MY BOSS THE DOCTOR WAS PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE BAND - :) GOTTA LOVE LIVING IN A SMALL TOWN. LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU WESTMINSTER FOR A GREAT NIGHT.

TURKEY TIME

MY MEGAN IS STARTING TO PHASE OUT OF HAIR BOWS, AND IT MAKES ME SAD. I FOUND THIS HAIR BOW SHAPED OUT LIKE A LITTLE TURKEY - I JUST HAD TO BUY IT FOR MY JUJU - THANK GOODNESS HER BEST FRIEND IS A BOW QUEEN - SO I DEFINITELY HAVE A FEW YEARS TO GO ON HAIR BOWS :)

RED DAY AT SCHOOL

JULIA HAD RED DAY AT SCHOOL - HERE SHE IS WITH HER CLASS. YUP THAT IS RIGHT THAT IS A STAMP ON HER FOREHEAD NOT A BENDI DOT! I JUST LOVE HER CLASS AND THERE NEXT TO HER IS HER SWEET BEST FRIEND LUCIE!

RAINY AFTERNOON!

MY SWEET GIRLS WITH THEIR UMBRELLAS - OR AS BUCKLEY WOULD SAY WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION! MY SWEET GIRLS ARE GROWING UP WAY TO FAST - STAY SWEET AND HONOR GOD IN ALL YOU DO - I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!

IT'S A HARD KNOCK LIFE!

OUR SWEET MEGGIE HAD TRYOUTS LAST NIGHT. SHE TRIED OUT FOR THE PLAY ANNIE WITH THE COMMUNITY COMPANY. SHE TRIED OUT FOR AN ORPHAN. THERE WERE SO MANY GIRLS TRYING OUT. WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE BUT SHE DID TELL US SHE HAD TO ACT MAD, SING ALONE WITH OUT MUSIC AND SOME CHOREOGRAPHY ALL WHILE BEING FILMED. WOW SHE IS ONE BRAVE GIRL - I DON'T THINK I COULD DO THAT. WE WILL FIND OUT SEPTEMBER 5TH. EVEN IF SHE DOESN'T MAKE IT WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU FOR GIVING IT YOUR ALL.

FIRST DAY OF GYMNASTICS

HERE IS JUJU WITH HER BEST FRIEND LUCIE ABOUT TO HAVE THEIR FIRST GYMNASTICS CLASS TOGETHER - THESE TWO ARE ATTACHED AT THE HIP. WELL LITTLE MISS JULIA HAD A TOUGH TIME AT THE BEGINNING BUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES ENJOYED IT AND SMILED ALOT.

HOMEMADE PESTO!

MARCUS PICKED SOME OF OUR FRESH BASIL AND MADE HOMEMADE YUMMY PESTO SAUCE FOR OUR PASTA! SO NICE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THINGS HOMEMADE!

MY SWEET LITTLE NIECE!

I HAD THE PLEASURE OF HAVING LUNCH WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER - HER FACES ARE ESPECIALLY FUNNY :) I LOVE WHEN SHE CALLS ME AUNT JENNY AND SHE WANTS TO BE WITH ME - IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS.

OUR NEW BLOG IS UP AND RUNNING!

OKAY MY SWEET FRIENDS -OUR NEW BLOG IS UP AND RUNNING. THANKS TO MY SWEET FRIEND TRISHA. IF ANY OF YOU ARE THINKING OF OF GETTING A NEW BLOG DO -CHECK HER OUT. I SERIOUSLY TOLD HER WHAT I LIKED AND WANTED AND SHE NAILED IT ON THE DOT. SIMPLE YET SWEET. SHE IS A DOLL AND ENJOYS DOING THIS! THANKS TRISHA :)

LIVIN IN A SMALL TOWN

AS YOU ALL KNOW I AM FROM NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA AND LOVE IT THERE. MARCUS IS FROM TEXAS AND HE LOVES IT THERE ALSO. SINCE LIVING THERE I HAVE MOVED TO FLORIDA AND THEN TO GEORGIA. WE LIVE IN ATHENS! I THOUGHT TO MYSELF I WOULD NEVER LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN - THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO DO. THE FUNNY PART IS THAT I CANNOT SEE MYSELF LIVING IN A BIG TOWN AGAIN. I HAD LUNCH WITH THE HUBBY AGAIN TODAY - YUP 2 DAYS IN A ROW - WOW I AM ONE LUCKY LADY :) ANYWAYS WE BOTH LOVE THAT WHEN WE DRIVE OUR GIRLS TO SCHOOL WE DRIVE THROUGH THE COUNTRY AND HAVE 2 LIGHTS TO DEAL WITH. EVERYWHERE I GO I SEE SOMEONE I KNOW AND PEOPLE ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. WE HAVE A HANDFUL OF RESTAURANTS THAT WE GO TO AND FEEL LIKE WE ARE HOME. IF I NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE WE HAVE DOWNTOWN (COLLEGE TOWN) AND THERE IS STUFF TO DO. YOU LEARN TO LIVE WITHOUT ALOT AND END UP DOING ALOT MORE FAMILY STUFF WHICH IS NICE. I CAN HONESTLY SAY I LOVE LIVING IN ATHENS!

LALA IS BACK!!!

HA HA HA - SO MY SISTER IS BACK WITH HER FRIEND EMILY WHICH WE CALL EMILBEE! MY GIRLS ARE LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF THEM BEING HERE. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES WE ARE HAVING LOTS OF FUN AND LAUGHING ALOT. LOVE YOU GIRLS!

OUR GARDEN IS GROWING

HERE IS A PICTURE OF OUR GARDEN - IN FRONT OF THE PUMPKINS WE HAVE OUR ZUCCHINI AND SQUASH PLANTS. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT SPRING WHEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO PLANT ALOT OF STUFF AND MAKE OUR GARDEN BIGGER!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

WOW - I NOW HAVE A 3RD GRADER AND A PRE-K 4 GRADER! WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE. BOTH GIRLS WERE SO HAPPY AND NERVOUS BUT THEY HAD AN AMAZING DAY! LOOKING FORWARD TO AN AMAZING YEAR!

SIMPLY TUCKERED OUT!

THIS IS OUR BUCKLEY AFTER GOING TO GAGA'S FOR THE DAY. HE PLAYS SO MUCH WHEN HE IS OVER AT HER HOUSE THAT WHEN HE GETS HOME HE IS ONE TIRED PUP!

CUPCAKE MESS

JULIA THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY IF SHE ATE A CUPCAKE LIKE A COMPLETE MESS. THIS IS WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE AFTER SHE HAD SOME CUPCAKE FUN!
