Hopefully DSL will come through in Fairbanks and I'll be able to pick up where I left off. But for the time being...allow me to introduce you to my new Facebook page!<br />

I love Alexandria. It's the first place I lived after college...first time in the real world...learned a lot of independence in the short time I lived there! It was nice to go back for the day and visit some of my favorite stores and favorite restaurant (Oriental Wok for those of you who know Alec!) and spend the night in a hotel! I love staying at hotels. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I knew both Cason AND Josh in college, but not as a couple. They started dating a couple of months before Chad and I...so obviously I've been waiting for this for a LONG time! haha</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The wedding was beautiful and the reception was fun...saw a lot of faces I hadn't seen since college.

Not only do you get to teach kids everyday but the holidays and breaks are FAB! I knew at a very young age I wanted to teach...I love kids and it's very rewarding (at times! haha)...but I also knew I wanted kids of my own and I want to be home with them as much as possible. After Christmas, we get so many little breaks. There's President's Day, MLK, Spring Break, Easter Break...not to mention the 3 or 4 snowdays we got and a stormy weather day we got Wednesday!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The Easter Bunny can never fit everything in the one on the right (this is her basket from the last 2 Easters...I made the basket liner and monogrammed it) so I made the one on the left this year to put her goodies in and she can use the other one to hunt eggs.

<div align="center">So I know it looks a little overboard, but really it wasn't that bad! There were EIGHT books! She loves books! More than any other toy she owns. I bought way too many for Christmas so I decided to put 5 of them up for Easter instead of giving them to her for Christmas.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">This year the Easter Bunny didn't leave much candy. He did one little bag and then a couple of things of tic tacs...she loves fruity tic tacs. He usually puts books, clothes, a movie, and a few odds and ends in her basket. She gets so much candy at her class party that the candy the Easter Bunny brings usually never gets eaten...or Chad and I eat it. haha.</div><br />

This particular Sunday we decided to get take-out after church and head to Forsythe Park. Avie loves the park. She really just loves being outdoors. If she could sleep outside, I think she would.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

April is a good month to get married...my parents, Chad's parent's, and Chad and I got married in April. It's just a beautiful month with beautiful weather. Ok. Sorry. Enough about that. I get distracted easily. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Mom and Dad prefer for us all to go to dinner with them on their anniversary. They're more "the more the merrier" kind than the "let's have a romantic dinner alone" kind. I like the more the merrier myself. Especially when The Warehouse No. 1 is involved. </div><br />

I just got the cd, which is why I'm so late on posting them. I used <a href="http://nowlinphotography.blogspot.com/">Keisha Nowlin</a>...never heard of her...googled "photographers in Monroe, LA" and she popped up! She's awesome...we were very pleased. This year, we wanted some non-traditional pics done...like around old, rustic buildings. She met us downtown (Monroe) around the old Howard Griffin building. It was FREEZING! Our super-cheap $35 (for 2 hours) session lasted 45 mintues! I think she got some great shots of Avie in such a short amount of time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I don't really need any smocked things this summer (of course, unless I really found a steal!)... Avie wears her smocked dresses for like 3 years...no lie yall...I buy them a size too big and hem them for a year, then I let it down to its original hem the next year, then the third year, we add interfacing and let the hem down as far as it'll go! Talk about getting your money's worth! And she wears her smocked outfits/dresses to school so it's not just special occasion clothes! They wash up fine! This will be the 3rd year for the cupcake dress in <a href="http://thehendrixfamily1.blogspot.com/2009/08/kool-kids.html">this post</a>. And it's this ladybug dress's 3rd year too! (she'd just turned 1 in this pic...and is standing on her own! she didn't walk til 14 months, so this was a huge deal for us!)</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">So basically, I just need some cute outfits and play clothes for her. I usually find cute play clothes at Target...you can get a cute outfit from there for 6 bucks and monogram it...and it's adorable! (I did get a few things there last night). Has anyone been to Kid's Closet lately? They have bedazzled tank/ruffled pants sets for <strong>$96.</strong> Really? Do people pay that for something their child only fits in for a few months??? And it's not even smocked?! I decided I wanted to make some things for Avie...Hobby Lobby has the cutest "boutique" fabric and you can make things cuter than what's in the store...if you have the right fabric! I already posted the knot dress I made last week. I also made a cute ruffly skirt (pics to come). Friday and Saturday I made a bunch of ruffled pants with tops to go with them. Here are just a couple she's worn so far...I'll post more as she wears them! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Yes, my girl is a little sassy...and funny...she "poses" for pics on the babydoll aisle at Target. Gotta love the hands on the hips...</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">(Thanks <a href="http://lindsayandjohn.blogspot.com/">Lindsay</a> for this applique you sent me like 2 years ago!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Many of you know I'm not a fan of jeans on little girls. If you are, I'm not trying to offend! I just feel like jeans make them look older and I'm NOT ready for mine to look like a child...she's still my baby! However, I did buy her a pair of jeans in December to go with her Christmas appliqued tees. And they were cute. But, I haven't seen anymore of that type at Target. Every child needs jeans to go with basic t-shirts and such...so I made some ruffly denim pants! Aren't they fab?! (you really can't tell too much about them since she's standing on the brown rug...but imagine dark denim with big ruffles at the bottom!) I just bought some cute printed "play tees" at Old Navy and Target to go with these. I made some lighter denim ones too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm not real big on patterns. I have to have my mamaw's supervision when I'm sewing something new or from a pattern. But...I loved the dress, so I decided to give it a shot by myself! The pattern was easy to follow...although I tweeked it a bit.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love the coordinating floral and cheetah fabric. I love that the cheetah print is shabby colored...blue, olive, brown. Hobby Lobby has the best coordinating prints! I got a bunch...and I plan on making several things this weekend...including the ruffly boutique pants I always make her, of course!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Friday night was the most fun part...we had our Sunday School game night at church. We played the Newlywed Game...always fun...and always a great way to get to know couples who are new to our class. The church provided childcare, so Avie had a BLAST playing with the other kids in the children's building. Our church just added on a new children's building and it's like a serious jungle gym/amusement park/Chuck E. Cheese all put together. (ok, maybe not the amusement park part). Every Sunday, the kids classes take turns playing after they do their Sunday School lesson. So instead of getting a babysitter or asking one of our moms to keep Avie we just decided that we would let her have a fun Sunday School night too! She kept saying "I wanna go to the party too!". I got home and had a phone date with my cousin, Holly...til MIDNIGHT. We talk often (a couple of times a week), but only extended 2+ hour conversations happen about once every 4-6 months.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I woke up the next morning with a headache...a grinding-my-teeth headache. I can always tell if it's sinus, grinding my teeth, or tension. Yuck. Exedrin Migraine didn't do the trick, Tylenol didn't do the trick, nothing worked. But...I decided not to let it ruin my day. I was lazy til about 3...then we headed to town to go to Academy, Target, and dinner. Headaches zap me completely. It's exhausting. But I had a wonderful day just being with the 2 loves of my life...regardless of a headache. (fyi: I had a headache everyday when I was pregnant...I had to see a migraine specialist and eventually started taking Propranolol everyday...never had another headache while I was pregnant. *just in case any of you readers are pregnant and having headaches* Can you tell I hate headaches? Forgive me for ranting.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are my two preciouses. We went to eat at El Sombrero...the BEST Mexican place ever. We just got it a few months ago. They have one in Vicksburg and I go there every time I go to the outlet mall over there. I LOVE it...so imagine my thrilled-ness when they opened one in West Monroe. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My child doesn't sit in a highchair nor a booster anymore. She thinks she is grown and needs no assistance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sunday after church we decided to head to Ruston to see Nana and Pops. We were craving fried chicken and called my parents to see if they felt like company. Mom said "YES!!! And hurry! Dad's about to go get some chicken." Talk about great minds thinking alike! haha. Nana's been sick for the past 2 and a half weeks. Yeah, flu/bronchitis...she can't get rid of it. We haven't seen much of her lately so we headed over. She hasn't been contagious for a while but she just doesn't feel good and she's weak. I think a dose of Avie helped her though!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She even felt like baking homemade chocolate chip cookies! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(Avie is sitting there like a big girl eating hers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div align="center">Surely this coming weekend, I will be more productive and headache-less! Nonna invited Avie to spend the night Friday...so Chad and I have datenight! He has another fishing tournament Saturday and I plan on sewing for Avie and maybe going shopping! Tokyo is on the menu for Saturday night...Avie's first time! </div><div align="center"><br />

I wanted something with some storage space...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Chad's parents had this chest of drawers they weren't using anymore. It'd been sitting in our garage for a year and I'm pretty sure it wasn't going to be used ever again...until I brought it back to life. This dresser was bought unfinished...they painted it white...then years later, Chad's sister painted it red...then years after that, his mom painted it black. Needless to say, the finish wasn't in the best shape anymore...but it got some good use and I'm pretty sure they got their money's worth! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The finish was really bumpy, rough, bubbly, and sandpaper-y. Get it? It wasn't pretty. I decided to strip it. I'd never stripped anything before. This was a TOUGH job....especially with three coats of paint to strip. After I stripped it, I sanded it and cleaned it. I then sprayed a primer on it. (that was the easy part!). When that dried, I painted SEVERAL coats of white paint. I lost count of how many coats I put but it was alot! I don't know why it was taking so much to cover it. But it dried fast, so that was good! After I finished all the painting, I sanded and sanded and sanded! I wanted an antique, distressed look. I wiped some antiquing glaze over the sanded areas to "blacken" them. When it was how I wanted it, I sprayed three clearcoats and I was done!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This Christmas was wonderful. It just gets better every year. Seriously, it's so much more fun with a child! You get to re-live all the excitement from when you were a child all over again. To see the look in their eyes...it's priceless. And to be able to teach your children at a very young age what Christmas means (and to hear your 2-year-old say it means "Jesus") is truly heartwarming and touching.</div>Shelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17320148390901430841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697067530284005936.post-45623901318184680822011-02-16T14:30:00.000-06:002011-02-16T14:30:38.102-06:00Christmas Eve-Eve & Christmas Eve Picture Overload!<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Since you all know that I'm usually a couple of months behind posting...why stop now? </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'd been eyeing this book...and talked myself out of buying it. I'm really bad about getting a book and letting it sit there for 2 years before I pick it up to read. But Chad was with me the last time I almost bought it and he paid attention. How cute is it that he remembered and went and bought this for me? I have already read like 30 pages. If you like fashion...BUY THIS BOOK!</div><div align="center"><br />
