Like Weeds.

It was just the other day that we celebrated my fourth year of blogging. 
And by *WE*….. I mean ME.
*Clearing throat*
So anyhoo….when I started this little blog thingy this was my youngest baby. 
Um…time flies when you are living life.

Guess who started 11th grade last week.
Guess.
Guess!
She had to wake me up to take her photo. This is the first time ever that I don’t have to transport any bodies kids to school.

I honestly never thought I would see that day.

Here is my first born baby LoLo when she started 10th grade back in 2008!
I know she is going to hate this picture. 

Lolo started her 2nd year of college last week.
Some changes this year…
*she is living back at home and not on campus.
*She retired from softball. {I know} She has been playing since she was 5 years old.
*She is very much looking forward to being a student and not a student-athelete.

I didn’t get a photo of her on her first morning back to school….but I did get a photo of her on her first day of WORK!
Yep. She is a working girl!!

**work it girrrlllll**

Isnt’ it funny howgirls nowadays become teens they learn how to ‘pose’?
I am slow…I just learned last week how to do it.
{Shift to the side a bit, bend one knee, Posture!}

And perhaps some of you long time readers will remember my Cuz Chris.
{Chris and Linds at Chris’s West Point Graduation in 2006}

Chris is a captain…ummm wait, he is also a battalion commander in the army. He is now stationed in Germany and has seen more of Afghanistan that anyone should.

BooYahhhh!!!!

Well….my sweet, smart, cute and funny as heck Cuz can also now be called Daddy!

He and his wife just had their first little baby…and by little,  I mean large. {Just shy of 10 lbs}
A new little boy in our family…and I am so happy for them!

{2010}
So that means….my Cuz Patrick is now and Uncle!!!

So much good stuff to share.
Aren’t you happy you stopped by? I knew you would be!

XOXOXO

  11. I'm always happy when I stop by. I hate to think about how old my 'baby' is, but yours looks very good heading off to school. Isn't it nice when they decide they want their picture taken? Your 'working girl' looks very good as well. Congratulations to Papa Chris.

  16. Your girls are beautiful now, just like they were when they were younger. They've grown into lovely young ladies. The way their mama raised them. ; ) Enjoying all the pics and the trip down memory lane. It's hard to believe they've changed so much in such a short amount of time. : )

  18. Linds has always had gorgeous hair, hasn't she? At least in the pictures you are showing, she does.I know Lolo's body is glad for a rest from sports because she had a few problems with it last year. That is a very difficult schedule to keep – – – being a player and a student. We have many friends whose kids' only played one year of college sports.Our daughters lived at home at different times during their college years. As the younger said, \”You do miss a lot of the \”college experience\” but at the same time, you have a quiet place to study and good food to eat.\” She also commented, \”I know what it's like to live with a bunch of girls and it's better to have your own room at home!\” This is the 'child' who got the highest award in her department when she graduated with her Master's degree last summer so I guess she made the right decision earlier in life and it's a great endorsement for being with family!
