Happy Birthday to my MIDDLE CHILD ...


She's NINE
and
what a FINE age it is.

9 wonderful things about my pretty girl ...
  1. She's a thinker ... you can always see her mind working
  2. She asks a lot of questions.  While sometimes this can drive you nuts, I'm pretty sure it will get her far in life ;)
  3. She got her mommy's pretty blonde hair and I think it will stay for a while.  If not, just like her mommy she can add a few highlights and it won't look "fake"
  4. She loves animals and creatures of all kinds.  Sometimes we think she relates best with them.  Maybe she'll be my VET someday.
  5. She is strong and agile.  Her swimming is really coming along and she can be very FAST!
  6. She wears purple glasses and has braces, but is so cute looking with them!
  7. When she wants to do something she is relentless ... she'll keep at it and doesn't give up.
  8. She is sensitive and can be heartbroken easily ... good things to have in this world to make it a better place.
  9. She is quirky and unique.  Hopefully those traits will serve her well.  Originality is much more becoming to me and I hope that people who surround my sweet girl will find it endearing.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my M&M ...

She is adorable!!! She reminds me of my Hannah, who is also 9. I love her glasses. I wish we lived closer to each other so they could be little friends!

XOXO

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
