My Smart Baby Girl!!

I am working on a grocery list so Faith is playing in the kitchen. She pulls a chair over to the cabinet and is digging in a drawer. One of her new things to say is "Haley Cheatham". So, when I hear her say Haley's name I do not think much about it. But then I hear, "Daddy Cheatham, Mommy Cheatham, Baby Cheatham"! I look over and she has 4 medicine cups out of the drawer! I still think of her as such a baby, but she is really turning into a smart little girl! I am amazed to watch how quickly she learns knew things!

Amy and Ashley had a craft day today at Amy's house and I dropped by to deliver some pants and pick up Faith's Valentine shirt and this group just can not be together at meal time and not go grab some food, so we all headed to Tamolly's! The girls discovered that it was a ton of fun to throw money into the fountain and they drained all of us of our coins. It was so funny to watch them! They would throw their money and then sprint back to whoever might have money in their hand!

Jewelry Time

Haley got a new jewelry box for Christmas and Faith was great help putting all of the jewelry in the new box. Haley put nearly every piece of jewelry that she owned on Faith. Bradley and I were in our bedroom and Faith would run and show us each piece as Haley put it on. These pictures are about midway through. In the end she had at least one ring on every finger and about a dozen necklaces and bracelets. I tried to get a picture of the girls together with all of the jewelry on, but Faith decided to be uncooperative by that point!

Kitchen Upgrade

Bradley's parents remodeled their house about 4 years ago and we really liked the tile that they used for their under cabinet area. When we started building our house 3 years ago they gave us the left over tile which happened to be to the tile exactly what we needed! We designed our whole kitchen around the colors in these tiles! We moved in May of '07 and here it is 2 1/2 years later and the tile is finally up! Now, if I can just get that white frig out and replace it with a stainless steel then my kitchen will be totally complete as planned out 3 years ago! Too bad those things are so expensive. I will just have to save my money!

Haley's 9th Birthday Slumber Party

Haley had her 9th birthday this past week. I can not believe that in less than a year now we will be 2 digits :( It is really making me feel old! Anyhow, she wanted to have a slumber party this year. She selected a Hannah Montana theme (surprise, surprise!!). We had a yummy purple guitar cake thanks to Courtney (Celebration Cakes). The girls were all very well behaved. They had a good time, lots of running around and screaming!! They had teeth brushed and down watching a movie by 11. I went to bed at that point due to exhaustion from a long week, never heard a peep!

Deer Slayer

Ok so I know this has nothing to do with the girls except for the disturbing fact that it amuses them! Bradley has become quite the deer hunter in the past couple of years. He does not like to waste a lot of time sitting in the deer stand, he prefers to go ahead and get them crack of dawn opening morning! He informed me that this year he was going to be patient and wait for a big buck. I think I am going to ship him to Tunica because he seems to be pretty lucky. My phone beeped 6:30 opening morning with a text ''I got one. Think it's a good one''. Sure enough it was a monster! So, I just had to brag a little on my man!

It Won't Be Like This For Long

I woke up to this song on the radio this morning and loved it. I am sure all moms & dads will and I wanted to share. It is by Darius Rucker, former lead singer of Hootie & The Blowfish. Get your tissue out and listen!
