Too Cool For School...

I have a two year old who thinks she's a ten year old. She loves all things "grown up," including wearing my sunglasses instead of wearing her own. I love having a little girl...and I especially love these pictures.

I LOVE this Man...

Randomness...

I have lots of thoughts swirling around in my head right now, and if I just started rattling them off, it probably wouldnt make much sense. Sooooooo, I'll just do bulit points. You know I love some bulit points.

-Today Im feeling SO overwhelmed with thankfulness. I'll never know why God has chosen to bless me with all of the amazing things, experiences, and people he's placed in my life, but, wow...He's so GOOD! This past week, the Lord has graciously opened my eyes to a few things I desperately needed to see, humbled me in the most loving way, and answered my prayers. Im so grateful for my family, my friendships, and most of all for my Heavenly Father, who's promised He'll NEVER give up on me.

-Im so looking forward to the womens conference at our church this weekend! The theme this year is GPS (Gods Providence in Suffering,) and Im excited to be able to spend time with all the sweet women at Ninth and O.

-Is anyone else a little sad that Alex Lambert was voted off American Idol last week? He was my favorite this year and man, I was bummed!

-Im determined to make a pillow case dress for Sawyer. I think they're so cute! I watched a few tutorials on youtube and I really think I can do it...after I learn how to use a sewing machine. Ha!

-The other day, Preston asked me what my all-time favorite movie was, and I told him there was no way I could EVER name just one. I compiled a not-so-little list of all my favorites and I thought I'd share...because dont lie, Im sure you're dying to know.
In no particular order: The Notebook, How to Lose a Guy in 10 days, Remember The Titans, The Blind Side, Ben Hur, The Green Mile, Big Fish, A Leauge of Their Own, My Best Friends Wedding, The Passion, The Painted Veil, Pearl Harbor, Cinderella Man, The Wedding Singer, A Time To Kill, Pretty Woman, Gone With The Wind, Meet the Parents, Father of The Bride, The Sixth Sense(I like pretty much every M Knight Shimylan movie,) The Others, Gladiator, The Usual Suspects, Runaway Bride, Hitch, Somethings Gotta Give...Those are just to name a few. I really like movies.

Hope ya'll are having a happy Monday!

TP...

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves on this one...

Polly Pool Party...

Ive been MIA the past few days because we've been SOAKING up all of this GLORIOUS weather! Its been so great to be able to let Sawyer run around and play outside...I think Spring has almost sprung.
A couple weeks ago (when it was still frigid and we were trapped inside) we cured our boredom by throwing a pool party! I gathered up all of Sawyer's little Polly-pockets, laid a towel down, filled a bowl with warm water, and voila...instant entertainment. I'm not even kidding, Sawyer played by herself for at least an hour. She was loving it! So here's my tidbit of advice for the day: if you want to keep your kiddo occupied for a while, give them a little (and I mean little) bit of water and a a few toys to throw in. You'll thank me later.

More of The Things They Say...

The other day, I was reading Sawyer a book, and on one page there was a picture of a boy running toward a forest. Sawyer looked VERY closely at the boy and said, "Momma, is that Moses runnin' to his promise land?"

Sawyer loves the Wizard of Oz, and she's always talking about how the scarecrow is "her boy." I have no idea why she calls him her boy, but I guess she just really, really likes him. Anyway, the other day she was was once again talking about "her boy," so I told her if the scarecrow was her boy, then the lion was my boy. "No, Momma! The lion's NOT your boy...onlydaddy is your boy."

While Sawyer was taking her bath last night, she laid back in the tub, put a wash rag over her face and said, "Please be quiet Momma...I'm trying to relax."

Sawyer often asks me to tell her the story of the day she was born, and I guess Ive done it so many times, she's just about got it memorized...except now she adds in a few of her own details. Yesterday, while we were driving in the car, our conversation went like this...
Sawyer: When I was a baby, I was sooooooo tiny in your belly! I was this (making a cup with both of her little hands,) big. And when I came, everyone was there to see me...Mamaw and Papaw Well-Well, Grandpa Guy, Uncle Grant, Daddy, Mimi, Papaw, Amy, Jordan...
Me: You're right! All of those people came to see you. And they all held you and said what a sweet baby you were.
Sawyer: Yeah...and Cameryn and Kendall came too...and they both held me!
Me: Well, no, Cameryn and Kendall weren't there because they're younger than you. They couldn't have held you because they weren't born yet.
Sawyer: (after thinking for a minute,) No, Mom...they WERE there. An they said, "Oh, what a geeeorgeooous baby!"

Dreaming...

Its official. In just 8 (hopefully short) weeks, this is where I'll be...ON THE BEACH. Muahahahahahahahaaaa!!!! Take THAT, nasty cold weather.
