Just Me and My Boo!!

(picture courtesy of our good frind Baggs!! She's great! check out her blog)

Dear Diary,
Every Tuesday and Thursday, I am blessed to spend a few hours with my main squeeze. As you probably know Big Mad came into the world about three months ago, and he is just about as precious as could be. However, like most babies, he is real hard to get a hand on. You know how it is at church. Soon as Kimmy gets in the door, there is a "Girl Fight" (not really) over who is going to get to love on him. And if you are so fortunate as to get few hugs and kisses in, you better be quick about it, because someone will be coming up from behind to take him from you.

This summer I realized that a good way to avoid the mess was to come to cheer practice once a week. This allowed me to catch up with some of my girls that I had been missing over the break, and spend some quality time with Maddox, just me and him! I enjoyed this so much that I asked Kim if we could carry it over to the school year. She thinks I am doing to help her, but we all know the real reason!!(j/k) These are just a few pics that I was barely able to take yesterday. (Keep in mind that these were taken with a camera phone, and only one free hand!!)

I know he looks scared, but that's really the "I love my Killer" face that you probably aren't familiar with!

A bottle, a stinky diaper, and a LOT of screaming later, a little bit chillaxin'!!

I love, love, love this boy!!

Love and Hugs,

*Wedding Bells are in the Air*

Dear Diary,

I feel so bad for the blog I posted the other day that left out my older sister, so this one is all about her. My sister and I are fifteen months apart. One might think that our closeness in age brought us together growing up, but actually it wedged us apart.

However as we grow older, we are slowly becoming better friends. You could imagine my surprise (in a good way) when she asked me to be her maid of honor. I am so happy to be a part of her big day! Because I live in Alabama and she lives in Florida, it will be dificult for me to be involved the actually planning. For this reason, she decided to get her gown here, so that I could help pick it out. This meant so much to me! Here are some pictures that we took during the shopping process.

We arrived a little early so we killed some time at Barnes and Nobles Bookstore

For some reason I was really into the book on how to plan a wedding. Like I'm going to need it anytime soon!

This is not the actual dress...I didn't want to ruin the surprise!!

Love and Hugs,

*K*

Easter Pictures

Dear Diary,

Since Easter fell on spring break this year I was able to get a few really good "after church pics". I know that these are in the slide show but I just wanted to you to see how cute we are!

*I should note that there is a sister missing. She always hates to miss a good photo opportunity!*

Love and Hugs,

Making a Comeback!!

Dear Diary,

I know you feel like I have abandoned you for a few months (which I really have) but I just needed to take a little break. Well, at least I thought I was taking a break. Between working at the Y, and

keeping the twins,

summer just FLEW by. Now I am back at school, so I can hopefully get back into some kind of routine.


Love and Hugs,

Having a baby changes everything!! ( A tribute to Kimmy)

Dear Diary,

Let me start out by saying this," I'm not having a baby!!!"

Now: This week goes down in history as the day I lost one (glad your still here bags!!)of my best school friends. I am hardly even to where I can talk about it but I will try to fight through the pain.

This is Kimmy. Kimmy has been my thick and thin friend for the past 3 years. We started teaching at the same time. She has been my shoulder to cry on, my friend to laugh with (or at occasionally), basically my Dee-ay-double-you-gee, dawg!! I knew that the day was coming when she would have to abandon me, but I really thought we would be able to finish out the year. But something came between us. What you might ask?? A boy!!! I know, I'll let you catch your breath for a second...
I used to be able to e-mail her at any point during the day, mostly to talk about some crazy student, or an even CRAZIER parent. But there will be no more of that. Monday, something happened in class and the first thing I thought about was telling Kimmy. Well, 3 text messages, and 2 sore thumbs later, I decided that this just wasn't going to work. A story that used to take one quick e-mail is now a never ending text message. I don't think I can keep that up.

Mama always said, "Killer, never let a boy come between two friends. Boys come and go, but friends...they're forever." Well, mama must have never seen a cute thang like this before (or had some of the crazy friends I've had!!)

Maddox's outfit is a courtesy of K.O. (killer's orignals)

Kimmy, you can let this angel come between us any time!! I will truly miss you next year!

Love and Hugs,

Twinkie (Take Two)

So, if you saw my post several weeks ago, you remember that one day I was visiting Weeze in the mail room, and my brother walked by in the same outfit as me.

(here we are)

Saturday, my mom brought my sister to spend a few days with me. You would not believe that when she pulled up in the car, we had on the exact same outfit!! I guess it's true what they say..."Birds of a feather, flock together"!!

Missing Mom

Dear Diary,
Today is my mom's birthday, and I am so sad that I can't spend it with her. Not only am I going to miss her birthday, but Mother's day is on Sunday, and she is going out of town. I mean seriously, who goes to hang out with a long lost friend, whom she rarely ever gets to see ;) on Mother's Day. She is trying to justify it by saying that she will see us all periodically throughout the day, but I just don't know. I should just be glad that she is going to stop by and see me on her way back home! Honestly though, I know that she hasn't seen this friend in ages, and she deserves a vacation as much as anyone. Anyways, I love you mom, and I hope you enjoy your day!!
Love and Hugs,
*K*
