Morgan is a Girl!

Posted by: Brandy | Comments (2)

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

This past year Morgan has gotten so girlie! She still loves to play sports and be outdoors with animals, now she just does it with makeup on and her hair done.

Her appearance is very important to her these days. So much more than it was to me at that age. Thankfully she is good at doing her makeup. She does it very tastefully. She wears heavier eye makeup, but it works for her since she wears glasses.

Her hair is the biggest deal now! She keeps borrowing my Flat Iron. So much so that I have to search for it when I need it! So I guess it is time for her to have her own. She has been wanting her own for awhile now and is always showing me Flat Iron Reviews almost daily! I guess I’m going to have to give in! I did wait long enough to be sure this was a need and not a phase. She fixes herself up daily, so it’s time.

She is wanting the Karmin G3 Salon Pro Flat Iron, the kid isn’t messing around! I have to agree that pro Flat Irons are so much better than the cheapies that you get at the local store. The difference is insane! So, I can see the need for her to get a nice one…but she’s going to have to wait for Christmas!

Moms of girls, when did your daughters get more into being a girl?

Wordless Wednesday, Vintage

Posted by: Brandy | Comments (9)

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

I love, love, love vintage cameras. I don’t even care if they work or not. I like the way the look, I like to think about the history they may have captured. Who owned it before me?

I have been lucky to find some while hunting at local thrift stores. One even came with the owners manual where the person who had purchased it had written the year and place they bought the camera at. How cool is that?

They have a lot of character!! Actually all things vintage have this same appeal for me. I even found a vintage pair of roller skates! You know the oldschool metal ones that you strapped over your shoe? They even have metal wheels!! I’ll post a photo of them later.

For now though, enjoy this gorgeous bit of history…

I also wanted to share a photo of Morgan with one of the horses from Horse Camp, where she volunteers. Last Saturday was the last day.

There is no way that I can pick just one. Saturday night I was able to meet a few cool people, so I for sure want to share that photo. Then Sunday we had Morgan’s birthday party (but today is her birthday), so I want to share a photo of her with her cake. Monday we went on a hunt for Texas Wild Flowers, so of course I want to post those too!

There is no way I could pick just one photo! Please let me know what you think of them! I happen to be in love with our Monday pics! The Indian Paintbrushes were so pretty!

Quick update on me…I go in for the results of my labs on Friday and will post an update then. Thinking positive, I need an answer!

Wordless Wednesdays are so hard for me. I never know which photo to choose! So today I am posting more than one. It’s just too hard!!

We have had some amazing weather lately. The kids have been able to go out and play a lot and that rocks.

When kids play outside they get wore out and therefore go to sleep earlier. To me that is just pure freaking awesomeness! I’m all about some sleeping kids!

I do not have any softball practice photos yet because on softball days we get rain.

It’s really weird, we can have 3 straight days of beautiful weather. Practice day comes along and here comes the rain. I’m talking all day rain with thunder even. Lame. I’ll get some soon though!

I totally forgot about this. I have so much stuff buzzing through my brain right now. The Intel contest…I’m down to 5th place. If you haven’t voted today please do! You can vote once every 24 hours. I need all the votes i can get. I need this.

Morgan signed up for Softball again. She didn’t play last year, but she did the year before. It should be a lot of fun.

Her first practice should have been yesterday, but due to Monday rain…the fields were closed. Sunday is the next scheduled practice.

She did get some practice in here at home with the J-Man. They went out front to play catch.

Picture quality is not so great, it was almost completely dark out.

Her new team is called the Tigers, colors are Red and Black!

I’m so thrilled that I have gotten Morgan to let me take some photos of her. Yes, I have resorted to bribery and blackmail. Hey, it works! Come on…I’m sure you have blackmailed or bribed your children atleast once right??

Walmart was having a huge sale on all of their Miley Cyrus line of clothing. Everything was down to $3-$7! She got a bunch of stuff for less than $40! This made her extremely happy and she let it all shine in these photos. I’m posting a few because I just couldn’t pick only one!

She was actually pleased with the pics as well! Double score right? Hopefully we can continue on with this trend!

I have no problem with blackmail and have the perfect photo to blackmail her with…she knows what it is! So Morgan…if you are reading this…know that I have the power!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Halloween 2009 Morgan New Moon is coming out in just a few weeks! Morgan was Jane for Halloween. We scored the dress for $1.50 at the thrift store and the cape for $3 or $4 at another thrift store.

She is so excited to go see the movie, but I do not think we wil be going on opening day. I am sure it will be packed and I am not a crowd lover. I get creeped out by cooties.

We’re making a date of it with a few friends. Dinner and a movie, I’m thinking Chili’s for some Southwest Eggrolls…yum! Boneless Wings sound good too. Damn, I’m hungry! I wish I could go out to eat right now.

Well, it isn’t finished, but it is up and there is some content! So head on over to Not So Average Kid and show Morgan your support for her new projects.

Thanks to Kelli Claypool for the gift of a domain name and hosting! She rocks! I would love for you to go check out her site. She is one of the nicest women I have ever met! I interned with Kelli last year and I continue to work with her now. Kelli…you are AWESOME! If you are in need of coaching, this is the woman to turn to!
