Wipths, Stone Moutain, End of the school year, birthdays & Maroon 5!


What a combination & life just keeps getting better! Camryn....my sweet little 2-year old! She's a person all her own & that's what I love about her the most. Let me set the scene: I'm in the kitchen cooking supper (homemade meatloaf & mashed pots with green beans) & as I'm exiting the kitchen, I see her approach me.

ME: Camryn? What's all over your face?
CAMRYN: Wipths
ME: Oh! I see.........you're so pretty. Can mommy take your picture?
CAMRYN: Sure (as she tilts her head & batts her eyes at me as only a 2-year old can do).

This past weekend was spent w/some wonderful friends. We love this family. Their children are the same exact age as Ashlyn & Camryn, so it makes for fun times. We went to Stone Mountain Park with them & had a great time, minus the ankle twisting incident by Jeannie, who now has a chipped ankle bone (ouch!!). The weather was beautiful & despite the lack of 2-year old naps, the kids were great!!


Ashlyn's First grade year is coming to an end. I love the summer & I especially love having her home with me. It went by all too quickly......seems like just yesterday we were taking her for the first day of school. It's been a great year for her: Straight A's, Advanced Reading; Sunshine Math; Terrific Kids award & tons of memories she recounts everyday. We're going to miss her teachers, but are looking forward to her 2nd grade adventures.

Along with the end of the year comes her birthday (25th). Is my little girl really turning 7 already? You hear it all the time, but I just have to say it again: "It seems like yesterday I was just bringing her home from the hospital." I miss my little, teeny tiny new baby, but I love the beautiful girl she is now. And for those that are wondering, she's having a Spiderman birthday party! Yep......couldn't talk her into a pink spiderman suit. Nope! Had to be red, just like Spidey himself!! Love this girl.

And last, but most definitely not least...................Maroon 5's latest album release!!! Yep, I prepurchased this baby from iTunes & am listening as I type. Definitely different from their first album & not sure I"m liking it as well, but then again, it's hard to hear it over the Backyardigans!! It'll grow on me, I'm sure.

And w/that I leave you. This week brings end of the school year parties, birthday parties & a possible trip to KY to see my new nephew..............I love summer!!!!
