Me and my girl

That's my baby girl on the right. :( It's bitter sweet that she is growing up so fast. She is now within 2 inches of being the same height as me and LOVES it. She is all the time coming off with some midget or short joke to which I reply that she shouldn't make those because she is shorter than me. She laughs and replies that unlike me she is still growing. Really, how did I raise such a smart aleck child who relishes aggravating her mother. Oh, Bayli I am so not ready for you to grow up quite yet.

Strut your stuff!

Check out the fabulous Jessica Simpson heels I now proudly call my own! To unfortunately quote Paris Hilton "That's Hot". I love heels as you all know and these are some of the best I have ever owned. I have been looking through my closet just tryig to find clothes that I can wear my shoes with. I guess you could say I was starting from the bottom up dressing my self. You have to start somewhere, so why not with the shoes. They really make you strut your stuff and walk tall and proud. :)

Golf Cart

Yesterday was Bayli's 2nd golf match. They won their first match on Tuesday, which was a home match! Yeah go team! We traveled to Cleveland yesterday to play Cleveland and Spring City. They have a big ol' nice course and fancy smancy country club. THe kids very very impressed with the huge course, pool, tennis courts, monster club house considering ours is not so large or has the other amenities, but it is a good course and we appreciate them allowing the kids to practice there for free. The Dayton Golf & Country Club is very good to our kids. I believe we won the 2nd match as well. I do well to keep up with where the ball goes when the hit it much less score, rules, etc. etc. I rented a golf cart because we were only going to play 5 holes and that meant a long walk back for the kids with their clubs after already walking the holes they played. That way when they were through we could just pile them and their clubs on the cart and motor on back to the clubhouse. That was my intentions at least. Who knew that my golf cart would die on the 5th hole. My daughter found this hilarious. She was laughing and saying I broke the cart, wait til dad hears this, yadda yadda. Smart mouth kid. But when I pointed out that she was going to have to lug herself and all her effects back on foot she shushed up real quick:) Even with that happening we had a wonderful time. I am so glad she is enjoying playing, but I'm pretty sure the kids enjoyed Cici's Pizza just as much after the match as the actual match. When we left it was like a pizza graveyard. I'm pretty sure I saw a tumbleweed blow across the buffet.

Fore!

So after 4 days of golf tryouts Bayli made the Dayton City School golf team. She was so very excited and we were so proud. So from looking at the calendar they gave us we will either be practicing golf or playing matches everyday for the rest of my life. Well, maybe not the rest of my life, but at least for the next couple of months. That's okay though, she enjoys it and they will have a lot of fun. Who knows maybe she will continue to play through the rest of her school and maybe get a scholarship. That would be fantastic because college is EXPENSIVE and it looks like she may be going forever for her degree in forensic anthropolgy.

Bojangles

We were talking about the Bojangles restaurant the other day and how good their biscuits are and Lealan told us a story about when him and his friend Danny went into a Bojangles. Well Lealan is 6'4" about 230 lbs and his friend Danny is even bigger than he is and together they make quite a pair. Now Bojangles has all you can eat chicken on Wednesday nights so keep that in mind. One night in Charlotte, which happened to be a Wednesday, him and Danny walk into Bojangles. He said they just had walked in the door and the guy behind the counter hollers to the back of the kitchen to drop some chicken. I laughed so hard because I know the two of them together look like they could eat plenty, but for the guy to actually holler it where they could hear it. I guess he's lucky they are nice guys.

Leftovers

Last Tuesday night I made taco stuff for dinner. That's what we call this skillet of turkey burger, refried beans, tomatos and green chiles that you put over tostitos with lettuce, sour cream, tomatos, jalapenos, cheese, etc etc. Me and Lealan love it, Bayli not so much. Well we had a big skillet of it and we ate it Tuesday and had it for leftovers on Wednesday. Thursday evening Bayli asked what we were having for dinner and I told her there was a little bit of taco stuff left that she could eat. She looked at me and said It's been 3 days it's probably not good, you know it ain't Jesus and then she walked off. Me and Lealan were standing there trying to figure out how she equated Jesus spending 3 days in the tomb with leftovers. She is right however that it ain't Jesus and no matter how good it is it's nowhere near as good as what we are going to have in Heaven!

No sleep

Having a puppy is a lot like having a baby without the diapers. Less sleep, whining, and cleaning up pee and poop. Also so much fun and love. Cecil is so sweet and when he looks at you with those sad eyes it's pitiful. He is really doing well though with his potty breaks. He has had a few accidents, but he is only about 8 weeks old so it will be a little while before he has it all down pat. He is doing pretty well with puppy pads and has went to the front door a few times needing to go out. When he goes out he knows what to do and then he is ready to go right back in. He is supposed to be inside until winter is over, but I heard my husband who isn't near the animal lover that I am say that he didn't know if he would be able to go outside alone for extended periods because his legs are so short and he is hefty he wouldn't be able to get away from anything. However, from the way he stands at the front door and barks at Kenny (outside cat) he would probably do ok. He barks at the out side cat and the inside cat, Princess scares him. But then Princess smacks him and Kenny doesn't. I do see a big puppy paw in Princess's future holding her down before long:)
