Can She Get Any Cuter?

Along with Tim and Katie's housewarming we got to have a extra guest of honor. That's right. Alexis. Have I mentioned how sweet and cute she is. She is a traffic stopper. So so sweet. We love spending time with her so much. Grandma and Grandma Smith, with their other too cute for words granddaughter Brooklyn, stopped at the housewarming as well and Jon and Jaimee. It was so delightful. At Troy's game Alexis ate an entire churro. I wish I could have that girls metabolism.

Tim & Katies Housewarming

Tim and Katie and a few friends busted their tails to get their house ready for their housewarming. I don't know how many tons of rock they shoveled and plants they planted but they did it all in just a few days. Along with hanging pictures etc. I am disappointed in myself I didn't take more pictures but I get side tracked just enjoying the moment. Darn it. Their housewarming was a great success. Dawn cooked food and Cathy and Tina helped set everything out and get it going. I love my family. Cathy stayed start to finish. Tina is so willing to always help. She is such a great sister, daughter, friend.

Friends Forever

I am so glad Tina has Liz for a friend. I think they both are very true to themselves and what they believe in. They are so beautiful with such promising futures.

Troy Full of Spirit

Troy loves to participate in spirit week. Tina is always so good about helping him. This year they tie dyed shirts together. This was him on bling day. Wish I would have gotten a picture of him with the afro wig.

Easter Celebrating and Sadness

We love Easter. Tina and Troy are so good about humoring me with coloring Easter Eggs and doing a hunt. We usually try to get together but it seems everyone was heading different directions this year. Laurie reserved a ramada which normally would have kept us happy all day but it was moving day for Tim. It's weird that you know you are going to be sad but still nothing prepares you for that lonely drive to his house with your truck full of his last load of stuff. I cried like a big baby. I couldn't even talk when we got to their house. The ride home wasn't any better. He was sad too and wanted to know if he could have Lulu. I was like 'within the last 7 or so months I had to drive Alexis to her home and now you. I can't give Lulu up too even if she is a pain in the tail'. I wonder if my heart will ever be the same. Next will be Tina my only baby girl who is such a part of what I do and then Troy, my baby, who completes my life. Sigh.

Forgetting So Much

So it's been months since I posted anything and I am sure I have forgotten things. I make myself so mad. I am going to try and post a few things.

Alexis Time

Alexis got to stay the night with us. So funny how just the mention of her coming over fills our house with excitement. We had a soccer party to go to so of course she went with us. Troy was playing with her in the back seat with a shell and Troy acted like he wasn't going to give it to her and she let out a little bit of a cry so of course he did and you should have seen the Cheshire grin she got on her face. LOL. Troy and I laughed so hard. She totally knows she has him. Jim and I just followed her around while she walked everywhere. When we woke up in the morning and I got to see her sleeping in her little bed it just totally warmed my heart and made me sad. I miss seeing her in the mornings. Then again I miss seeing her all the time. She is such a part of us. Jim took her to the soccer game and got her pancakes and sausage while I helped set up a yard sale. After the game she went with me where a little girl trying to help her dumped her on her head and gave her a little egg. Jeez. Back to soccer where I chased her around and you could see Troy watching her from the field. LOL. We got her Dibs which she ate and slobbered them back into the container Anyone? She went to get into someones toys and I said stop and she did on a dime. She is soooooooooo good. Then when I said no no because she went to get into their stuff she cried. Well as much as I would give her anything she wanted I also want her to stay a good kid that people want around. LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She made an older ladies day when she was so sweet and gentle with the ladies dog. She could not believe someone so little could be so sweet. Her dog stood and gently like gave her a nose kiss on the cheek. The lady couldn't believe it. She was so cute wishing she had a camera. Alexis has the gift of making anyone's day!!
