Bringing Back Old Memories

P-Dog had her 1st recital at the same auditorium I performed all of my recitals from age 5 on.

It was perfect. Love of My Life, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and Bad for ballet, jazz and tap.

She did awesome, and I was a little worried since she likes to goof off during practice.

I am sure if you know me, you have heard me talk about my lovely friend Deb. She has been battling breast cancer for over 2 years now. She is the ultimate fighter. I have loved her "tell it like it is" attitude since the first day I worked with her. Whenever I feel like life is rough, I just kick my own ass and think of her. All she wants to do is live and be here for her daughter. You can read her story on her caringbridge website, I have her link on the left.

Pray for her everyday. I know I do.

I will always love me some MJ

I wanted to post the lyrics to my favority Michael song.
Is it called Childhood and is on the HIStory CD. It really explains alot of how he felt.

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for the world that I come from
'Cause I've been looking around In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
'Cause I keep kidding around Like a child, but pardon me...
People say I'm not okay 'Cause I love such elementary things...
It's been my fate to compensate, for the Childhood I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates in adventurous dreams, Of conquest and kings on the throne...
Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?
People say I'm strange that way
'Cause I love such elementary things,
It's been my fate to compensate, for the Childhood I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
But the dreams I would dare, watch me fly...
Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I've had
Have you seen my Childhood....
(Music and Lyrics by Michael Jackson)

Why is it???

Why is it when I get the ready ready to take a picture.

They instantly turn into hyper goof balls.

I know they do it on purpose.

I'm sure it is just their way of letting me know who is in control here.

Isn't it supposed to be me? This is what I am talking about...

Goodbye Impala

Well Shane's car is shot. So my mom graciously watched the girls for us to car shop tonight. I have a major aversion to car dealerships and the car salesmen. Sorry. I just always feel like I am being stalked. I have never really had a pleasant experience buying any of our cars. Shane picked out a new car and hopefully if all goes well with the trade-in situation we will be back in business as a two vehicle family by tomorrow.

JB Blast

We had a blast at Jefferson Barracks on Friday Night. Too Bad it rained on the 4th.

We drove by and watched the fireworks from our car then.

It was fun seeing the smiley face and star shaped fireworks this year.

Here is Payton before we left with the fruit and stars kabobs we spent all morning making.

The Whole Fam before we left.

The Girls

Hope Everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July!

Haven't Blogged in a while

This is a pic of Paige in Destin. One of my favorites. She has a sassy face on but is just being herself.

Here is Payton being herself too. We truly did have a blast. I want to go back. The bad thing about having your vacation at the beginning of the summer.

So I read everyone else's blogs and everytime I try to write or put a pic on, it takes too long. So here I try again. I may get good at this some day. hopefully

The 4th of July is on it's way. Can't wait for JB Fireworks Friday Night!
