Katie has a new haircut

We are trying, once again, to give Katie a new shorter hairstyle. The last time it was so frizzy that we had to let it grow out. This time, we cut it into layers and after she washed it, we noticed just blowing it dry got the frizz out. But in case it doesn't, Jessica sold me her InStyler. Katie was so excited when she saw it. She has seen commercials for it and she is a sucker for commercials. So it thrilled her that we actually had what she saw on the commercial.

We had 8 inches of hair cut and we are donating it to Locks of Love. I wanted to take pictures of her with her new haircut but she wouldn't stop making goofy faces.
After she took a bath, I took a picture...
then we dried it and I took another picture...with a forced angry smile. She is something else. This picture was taken right before Brittanie took her to see a movie.

I'm 40!!!

Thanks to everyone who sent me e-cards and facebook comments, as well as texts, wishing me a happy 40th birthday. I had a great day! I celebrated at Carolina Wings in West Columbia with Tom, Katie, Brittanie, Randy (he wasn't drinking...it is just bad timing),
Jessica, Jenn Fraley, and Frank and Lynn Eargle. Our waiter was the worst, but the food and the company were great!! I had the best night! I don't have any pictures of myself on here. I put them on myspace so I can control who sees them.

My wonderful husband gave me an AWESOME birthday present....a Samsung Impression. I have been looking forward to getting rid of my old cell phone and getting a new one. Well he bought me exactly the one I wanted and I LOVE it!!

Katie's K5 graduation

I have become addicted to Farm Town on Facebook so I haven't been updating my blog like I should. But it is time to catch up!

On May 21st, Katie graduated from K5 at Grace Christian School. I asked Melissa's sister-in-law to make Katie's cake since she did such an outstanding job on Tom's birthday cake. Well she outdid herself. It was a very cool looking cake and tasted GREAT! I loved it!! Tom's parents brought it to our house early so we ate cake before graduation. Katie loved it!!After cake, it was on to the ceremony!
She was bored waiting for Mr. J to get to S so it would be her turn to go up and get her diploma.It's official! Now on to 1st grade!!

After graduation, we went to Katie's favorite restaurant, Ruby Tuesday, so she could have the mac and cheese she loves so much. We were very touched at how many people came to see Katie graduate and went out to eat with us afterwards. Tom's parents came from Spartanburg and his brother and his family came from Rock Hill....on a Thursday night. We love our family!

Brittanie and Jessica waiting for graduation to start. I loved this picture so I had to include it!!

We took 3 short videos. The one of Katie getting her diploma is so cute because she wasn't used to walking in heels and she is walking very carefully, especially coming down the steps.
