bangs or no bangs

advice ladies!

i have a haircut appt tonight...
i'm sort of going back to the good 'ol bob...

shorter in back... longer in front...

anywho... i have a long oval face...
should i have her cut bangs...

those cute blunt bangs?

would LOVE your advice!

i know...
i am just one of those people...

i find it hard to make a decision on my own!

:)

super glue

She had a tutu on her head & a baton in her hand...
when "bump"! She hit the dining room table. hard!
This is our tough cookie...
always gets up & dusts herself off!
Running over there I see that she has a really deep
cut above her eye... immediately I know it means
a trip to the emergency room!

We throw ourselves in the car & head out...
had to call hubbie... didn't even know how to get
to the hospital... I know... crazy!

Now mind you by the time we are there
she is laughing!
She doesn't like the fact that there is
blood on her hands
(she can't stand her hands to be dirty)
but she takes it all in stride!

First let me add... yes... I had my camera...
I'm nuts about keeping it in my bag...
to not forget it when we head out... cuckoo!

After she gets her face cleaned &
a doctor takes a look... he decides to go with
"super glue"! Dermabond to be exact!
The eye area heals well and it beats
having to get stitches!

So... the doc glued her gash & all was good!

We thought it would be fun for her to chose
what SHE wanted for dinner...
ready for this... she picks...
TACO BELL!
Oh yes... that's my daughter...
going for the best!

This is little buttercup this morning!
Happy as all get out!
She might get a bit of a shiner
but she says she likes the idea of
looking like a cute raccoon!
I love this little squirt!

So... here's to Thursday!
You never know what the day may hold!
I just thank God that HE holds our day &
with HIM all will be good!

way back... wednesday

seriously... bozo!
It WAS in style! was!
This was was taken my senior year in high school
at a mother & daughter tea in Pearland TX.
My mom looks really good... normal!
She could actually carry that look today!
And then there is me... sailor gal!
I must have loved that outfit... I wore it to a tea! Scary!

Here's to a big wednesday...
BIG like my bozo hair!
I'm off to go grab another BIG cup of coffee &
give BIG hugs to the chickadees!

"mama... watch me ballet"

danced all the way to my heart!

get me to starbucks

So I actually went to bed last night KNOWING
there was no coffee cream... milk... anything...
to put in my much needed cup of joe in the morning!
What was I thinking? That's nuts!

My to do list is now running off the page...
I need to catch it & catch up!

Shop business... school business...
housekeeping business... and a bit of monkey business!
And I must get my fanny to the store for some coffee goodness!

So here's to a day ripe with promise!
Peel it back & take a bite!

studio mela

i think i need to start an "i wish" list just from her shop!


a fun new treasure...

corndogs & kettle corn

Well... I decided to go to the fair in my boots...
and so glad I did!

I know they're messy... but I love em!

brought to tears as her lamb was auctioned off...
so happy... the buyer sent the lamb back home with her

now that's a COWBOY

this little gal was so flipping cute

she wasn't looking... this swine took her by surprise

round & round on the ferris wheel

little face of joy

heading home with her prize

The weather couldn't have been better!
We saw snakes... a crocodile... a big ugly lizard...
a 100lb turtle... precious bunnies... goats...
chickens... turkeys...lambs... cows...
piggies... little dogs in clothes...
and ALL kinds of folks!

It was a fun day at the county fair... by golly!

Randy Pausch...

in memory...
May God bring comfort & peace to his family!

What an amazing man... what an amazing LIFE he led!

He gave his "LAST LECTURE".

Quiet day around the fox den yesterday.
One of those days where you just
let the day take it's own shape.
Let the kids run wild and
worry about the mounting mess later.
So guess what I'll be doing today! :)

We just sat there and bathed in it!

texas treat

Just a bit from our trip south. Our time was full! Full of family... friends... fun! I just wish I would have captured more with my camera. Like I mentioned yesterday... it is a time in my life that I will always remember CLEARLY. This last month held memories for me that are simply too difficult to convey into words. Moments so raw & so special that I still feel them in my throat. Laughter so deep that my side still hurts! I was reminded yet again what an incredible family & super set of friends we have! We have our nuts (i might be one)... but we sure know how to love & have some good fun!

my mama...
remember... she flew to CO just to make the drive to TX with us
i love you!

Riverhill in Kerrville
our ballerina collecting golf balls

loads of swimming at the club

lots of reminiscing with family
my cousin (more like a sister)... uh where is her cute face... oops

she may be three but still happy using a baby float

i thought she was going to turn into a fish or maybe a raisin

at my dad's in Bulverde TX
she went down the slide 39 times... oh yes she kept count!

at the Floyd's beach house, Galveston

one fish... two fish... red fish

we all got lots of rest & relaxation

for some reason I love this picture...
taken from the deck while playing password with friends...
Sophi... Jill... and Ruth Ann


Just a hint of all the good!
Now... to get my feet back on the ground!
My focus right now is just getting back in the swing of things!

Happy Tuesday! :)

home sweet home...

yippee! we are back in Colorado! back home!
there sure is something... a comfort about being home!

It's been quite a month...

a month that will be etched in my mind forever!

First & foremost...
thank you SO much for all your kind thoughts & prayers...
you're the best! Really... so dear to me... so special!
I carried you & your your love with me everywhere!
I have missed sharing & being in contact with you!
The computer just had to take a seat
on the back burner the last five weeks.
Really looking forward to "reconnecting".
There is no other way to say it...
I missed yall! BADLY! Like crazy!

For this morning...

a BIG... HUGE... hug & kiss to you!

Here's to a beautiful new day! A true gift indeed!
