For the record, my sister - in - law (Vickie) is a scardy cat and my daughter isn't.
Case in point....read about Vickie's snake here at Means Mania.
Notice me and Lainie with the new Monday Night snake right here....Found him just as I stood up with an arm full of weeds from the flower beds. I was eye level to his butt. (I just said snake butt on my blog! :)
We are sooo brave. It was the bee that drove my daughter inside and the bird flying kamikaze style that me me shriek earlier in the day! Such geeks!
Lainie is now taking pictures with my mammoth camera, which is why you can't see the snake here. She did frame the photo nicely, however!! I think I might be creating a monster.

Oh to be a four year old. Life can be so sad.
We came home and wrote notes to two girls in the class and invited them to play dates this Sunday afternoon. One little girl is the one that made Lainie sad. She seemed really excited about writing her the play date letter and even talked about all of the things they could do this weekend.
So I wake us this morning at 5 AM to my crying daughter who had a nightmare that someone was trying to break her doll. She didn't know the person, but they wanted her doll and she was sad.
20 min later as I was getting ready for work, Lainie comes in crying that she wants me to stay home. Crying. Clinging to my leg, crying.
At 8:30 today my cell phone rings and it is Scott with Lainie, heaving into the phone at how much she misses me. I tell her I love her and then nearly cry myself.
I pick her up and there is a note in her folder about her having a rough day. It was from Ms. Mary about how Lainie felt sad that she didn't have any girl friends in the class. One girl must have told her she didn't like her today / yesterday. Maybe that's where this sadness is coming from.

OK - today was a first for me. We chopped it off...chopped it all off. I have never done that before to Lainie and really to myself either. Our hair that is. Lainie's is gone. GONE! I wanted easier and flowy and she gave me SHORT easier and flowy. Other than not being able to french braid hers, I absolutely love it. It will grow back, so all is good. It is super cute on her and she loves it!
Mine is actually longer than I want it. I am thinking about going up one more layer to the shortest one that curls by my chin and then stacking it in the back. That and get some funky chunky high and low lights put in to start the summer off right. (I need some paydays to occur before any of that can happen.) Scott will flip when I do something that drastic...but he'll live! Until then, I am getting used to the bobbed look. The long layers were just growing out all over the place and it just looked weird. So I decided to start all over. I really loved the style, so I think I might go back to it, but go a lot shorter. I am excited that I no longer freak out over the length / look of my hair. I know that it always grows back. :) It's hair for heavens sakes.

Our Dance Recital with LFUCG's Kiddie Kapers was yesterday. Talk about cute. Almost 100 girls, many in tu-tus; spinning and smiling and coated in lip gloss and blush. I love dance recital time!!!
Lainie's piece was a tap dance number to It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want Too. She knew all the moves and even sang along with the words. Her class as a whole did fantastic! So did all of her friends on the stage with her, including Raylee, Allie and Cassidy. It was fun bring in the class with other teachers from school and their girls. :)
Kiddie Kapers is an excellent program for all of you in the Fayette Co. area. Kids 3 - 18 can dance and compete or just dance for performances with the program being very developmentally friendly and helpful! We drive home to get Lainie every week to bring her back into Lexington for dance on Wednesdays. It can be a bit of a headache, and I am soooo thankful to have Gran, Mom, Dad, Scott and Allison to help me rotate through the weeks of getting her picked up and dropped off at the Tates Creek Center. You all made this year so nice and allowed her to continue something she really enjoys!!!
I have pictures....but apparently Blogger doesn't like me right now. They'll come later!

On a better note....my 32nd birthday was Sunday. To celebrate, Scott took me and Lainie out to eat and then to see the Lexington Horsemen Indoor Football team game.
While we were there.....I was showcased on the BABE CAM!!!
The Bam Cam!
I wasn't dancing, wasn't acting silly, nothing! (At UK football games I make EVERY attempt to get on the dance cam. It's never worked.) This time, I was just sitting and cheering and some cameraman picked me out of the crowd. ME! WOW!
32 years old and still a babe!
Best birthday present - ever!

See if you see a problem here!
Lainie, Brewtus and I went for a walk tonight. She rode in her car and I walked up ahead of her. At full throttle her car goes 5 miles an hour - that a pretty decent power walk speed. All was good until I realized:
It's starting to get dark and you're far away from home
The dog is getting tired and you're far away from home
Your chub is really sweaty and you're far away from home
Thy face is turning red and you're far a way from home
My breath is coming faster and you're far away from home
Only rolling hills are left and you're far away from home
You need to go to the bathroom and you're far away from home
I didn't bring a cell phone and you're far away from home
The pains are getting sharper and you're far away from home
Oh my gosh, please hurry up and you're far away from home
Newby exerciser is now running and you're far away from home
Panting, sweating, screaming, sprinting and you're far away from home
All the neighbors turn and gawk and you're far away from home
Scrunch your muscles while you waddle and you're far away from home
Yell at child to drive faster and you're far away from home
Child keeps asking "what's the matter?" and you're far away from home
Take a shortcut through the yards and you finally see your home
Leave car behind, make young child run - you are closer to your home
Large creek seperates you between - you and your home
Make said child run through creek and you dash toward your home
Leave crying child in the backyard of your bea-uu-ti-ful home
Burst into basement beg husband for help - thank you heaven, I am home
Get fussed at by husband that someone might steal "expensive" car - WHAT?! this is home?
Sprint upstairs - because no plumbing in basement - dumb and stupid home
Should have read a book - and JUST STAYED AT HOME!

So it's now 11 o'clock and I am STILL sitting! According to Scott, I should get and do something..HA what does he know? Blogging and pictures are something!
I promised the link and a few chubby wedding pictures. SO here you go TA DA! Eight years and a good dose of Weight Watchers can change the world! Lainie keeps asking me where she is...that is such a funny conversation to try and have with a 4 year old!
The link is http://www.shutterfly.com/
Click on projects and look for Photobooks. It is really easy and requires no new software. Good luck!
Look how little the kids were!
Kelsey was a Jr Bridesmaid and is now 17 (she was nine at the time.)
Zach is a sophomore in high school now abut was 8 when he was the ring bearer in 2000 (he cried when he couldn't wear his tux to second grade the next day.)
Kolbi was Lainie's age and is now 12 and a 6th grader at Clark Middle. They were so cute!
They're cute now...but in a teenage way! So I guess they are more cool than cute now. I am such the old aunt!
First Christian Church, Maysville, KY
All the girls with silly faces. From this photo there are now 6 little girls and two baby boys. Everyone is happily married and live all over the place! There are Ashley M and Ann are in No. KY, Ashley W. Dutrow is in Louisville, Angie, Christie and Erika are in Lexington and Adele lives in Ohio. Me, Kelsey and Kolbi are all still in Winchester!
Hope you enjoy! I can't wait to show everybody my new album!
