Confession time...

Hello, my name is Allyson, and I'm a stalker...

a blog stalker.

I love to read blogs,

and learn more about people,

and be inspired to be a better person,

and get ideas on decorating,

and find new recipes...

Blogs are better than any magazine, book (except The Good Book), TV show...

I love blogs!

Well, that's it. I'm going to stalk some more blogs...

Random thoughts while cleaning the boys' bathroom...

1. What IS that smell??

2. Why is there only one dirty washcloth?

3. Why do they have more bath products than me?

4. Why is Laurel Ann's Barbie bath mirror in their shower?

5. Why do I even bother cleaning in here?

Equal Air-time for Laurel Ann...

This weekend while we were in Alabama, Mom, Laurel Ann and I did a little shopping. We were in TJ Maxx looking at clothes when I pulled out this cute little dress for LA. I asked her how she liked it, and she says, "Mom, it's not 'edge' enough." Excuse me?!?! What did you say?!?! I proceeded to ask, "What would make this dress "edge"? Her reply, "Peace symbols." OK. Later she pulled out a top and tights number that had some big, blingy butterfly and tattoo-looking thing on the leg and asked me if it was too "edge". Again I say, WHAT?!?! We did buy a little top and tights set with a peace symbol on front. It was just enough "edge" for both of us!

A few words from Bradley...

Bradley has been on a roll!

My cousin, Barrett, is getting married this weekend, and Bradley is going to be an usher. Mom was asking him if he knows what he needs to do, to which he replied, "So Toots, where ya want to sit?" Wouldn't put it past him!

Later I said, "Bradley, you'll get to check out the cute girls as they come in." His reply- "I'll tell the other usher, 'I've got this one.' " What a gentleman!

Today, Bradley and I are home getting our things together to head to Alabama. He informed me that he wants a big truck when he gets his driver's license so his girlfriend doesn't have to ride in the backseat. Such chivalry!

We'll be in the car for 22 hours over the next four days, so there will be more to come!

Shopping!

Laurel Ann and I went shopping with my mom yesterday to buy me a dress for my cousin Barrett's wedding and to find shoes for them. At one point on the way to Waco, I turn around and Laurel Ann was blowing a kiss and saying something. I asked her what she said and she replied, "to Chloe wherever you are." Now that is sweet! She loves her best buddy Chloe!

She was a real trooper throughout the entire day and was even quite helpful! At one point she pulled out a pair of white pants and said, "These are sexy." To which I replied, "WHAT?!?" She would also pull out various items and ask, "is this your style?" and "is this too hot?" I'm not really sure what she meant by hot, but it kept me entertained.

Of course, I gave her my iphone off and on through the day to keep her entertained, and at one point she was taking pictures of clothes and fabrics. She would come over to me and say, "I just knew you would like this!" and she would always tell me how beautiful I looked! I think I'll always take her shopping with me!

I will say we had our moments finding clothes for her, and I was quite thankful I only have one girl to buy for- God bless mothers of two or more girls!! But all in all, we had a great time!

My blog???

So I've changed the look of my blog twice in the past week, but I have not posted a thing in almost 3 months!! And, I'm really not going to post anything now. Maybe tomorrow...

April Madness....It was all about T-ball, baseball and ballet

We had a wild and exciting month of April with T-ball, baseball and ballet keeping us busy! Not to mention school, church activities, and Peter participating in the civic theater play. Whew! We were in need of a break!

Here is Laurel Ann getting ready to knock it home!

She made it around to 3rd base! You can see Bradley the Bat Boy in the foreground swigging on his Powerade...it's hard work being the T-ball bat boy!

The most exciting part of the season (besides snacktime!) is getting the coveted medal!

Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of Bradley's baseball season. I'm such a slacker!

Stay tuned for a ballet post...
