Just Catching Up...

November 3rd marked our 2 year anniversary...and all I can say is, "it only been two years"? ...2nd anniversary and we already have two kids...think we'll have three by our 3rd? ...the correct answer is no...comon!
This is us in the car on the way to dinner and a movie.







Avery and I are hanging out today, and this is her super cute (6month) outfit! ...and the perfect hair bow to match! She has so much hair...!

Happy Birthday To My Hair!


Technically...I'm a few days late on this. I think I cut my hair off on July 31, 2008...

Anyway, here is a picture taken about 3 weeks ago when I had it straighted professionally. Didn't really like the curls, but they fell and then it was good.

So, congratulations are in order for a number of folks!

Congrats to new parents Jeff and Jennifer...new parents to baby girl Kayleigh.

Congrats to Trey and Erin for the announcment of their Valentine's Day surprise!

Congrats to Jeff and Viola...new parents to baby girl Claire...so cute! Can't wait to meet her.

Congrats to Michael and Meredith...soon to find out what they are cooking -due Christmas Day! I've heard rumors they have a blog, but I don't know the address!

Have a great week.

Headbands

Michael Jackson died today (Thursday June 25, 2009) - but his music never will.

So! I'm so excited to share with everyone a great little etsy shop I found when looking for headbands. The headband I've been wearing almost everyday is a reverisble one I found on etsy at a shop called "sublimedzigns." The woman that creates all the designs is a stay at home mom of two. I ordered one headband from her and LOVED it so much, I asked her if I could send her fabric to make me some more.

She quickly agreed...and after putting it off for a month, I sent a package to her on Monday...well today, which is Thursday, she already has my headbands completed. Here's a picture of the final product! I know I'll probably have them by this weekend because she ships out super fast.


I "heart" her! Please check out her etsy shop for great finds for a great price! SublimeDzigns.

Family Afros?

Well, as most people know, I cut ALL my hair off in August of last year...and I'm still asking myself why. Anyway, I wanted to share my growth since it has almost been a year and my natural hair will be celebrating one year of sobriety (free of chemicals) very soon.

Kennedy is taking "ballet" and they allowed us to watch the class this Saturday. I had washed her hair that morning, but didn't have time to do it, so she sported an afro. Notice her super cute tutu that dallas made!




...and this is Kennedy just being Kennedy.

Holiday Pictures

We had a photo session with April Estes (reflective images) and these are a few of them. I don't think I'm doing holiday greeting cards this year...I still haven't decided....!

I made CHERRIES!

Okay, so last night I went to my hair stylist, because I've been really not liking my new "natural" hair journey and asked her to blow it out and straighten it with a flat iron. Now, this is only going to last a few days...and since it's going to be raining the next few days...probably a very very short few days. Anyway, here's a picture of my hair this morning. Pretty short...but at least I can see the length.






Also, I'm getting ready for my very first crafts festival and I have no idea what bows I should make or how many...so I've just been making bow according to how I feel and what ribbon is close to me at the time. Well, a few weeks ago I made an apple (not on the site) and decided I would try to make a few more. Well, I got done making the apple part and moved on to the stem and accidentally made it way to long for an apple...so I thought, what about a cherry...and then I thought, cherries come in sets of two right...and this was my final product. You'll have to tell me if you think either one of these are worthy of going on to the site...by the way, the cherries took me about 30 minutes to actually complete...! Thoughts and suggestions are always welcome.





H! And today is Kenny's 28th birthday! Happy Birthday hun...although I know you NEVER read our family blog. I'm taking him on a day trip tomorrow. Hopefully, he'll like the activities I planned. Last week was our anniversary (1st anniversary...aw.. WE MADE IT phew!) and I got him a watch that he'd been wanting for about 2 years. He calls it his "fine" watch. He's funny.


Update..well, I just gave Kennedy a bath and looked high and low for a shirt that had cherries on it. This is the best I could do (saving it for next spring). She's wearing all new stuff...gap jeans I got from the consignment store (6.00-2T), under shirt that autumn never wore (FREE-24mo), gymboree shirt I ordered a long time ago (???-18-24mo) and her new kswiss shoes (32.00-6.5) and of course our new cheeries hair bow!~

Austins meet the Adams

Jennifer and Michael got married in Athens a few weeks ago, and we took little miss Kennedy to the wedding. We decided to leave around 8:30 to avoid Kennedy getting cranky.

I thought this picture was nice...I've asked for the original. This is graining because I copy/pasted from FACEBOOK!
