Much Needed Blast from the Past!

So first I have to say I know my blog is looking a little dull with no pictures on my posts...we can blame my major camer issues!

So I got together with some of my best friends from Elementary and Jr. High last night! It was so much fun. We couldn't stop talking to even take any pictures. I haven't seen these girls in over 7 years. We all hit it off and are so happy to be reconnected. I mean these are the girls that I grew up with in my neighborhood and would run back and forth to each others houses everyday all day....So Fun!

Love you Brynn, Kelsey, and Britt (even though britt isn't my blast from the past but blast from the present) LOL

Love you girls I had so much fun!

GOING PRIVATE

Ok do to the werido commenting on my blog Max insists that I go private. So I had it on private but I dont have email address's for everyone, so any of you who would like to view my blog please leave me a comment with your email address or you can email me your address. This way I can enter everyone in once I set it to private again. WHAT A PAIN! errrggghhhh

Love you guys,

I CUT MY HAIR!

Yes...I cut my hair. Not too short but short enough that it is such a change. Ever since I met Max my hair hasn't went shorter than the middle of my back because that is the way he likes it. So I was most worried about his reaction of course but no he likes it and tells me I look like a Hot Cowgirl...uhhhhh yeah my thoughts exactly! LOL ewwwww So anyways I am going to grow it out just a tad longer than this but I love it.

PROUD MAMA

Ok so I know I already tooted my horn yesterday and I dont want to sound like a proud mama or anything, hee hee. No so I get my weekly emails about what Gracie should be doing, ect. And she just amazes me everyday. First I have to say that I never have shoved things down Gracie's throat because I think too much of that and you will miss out on the fun and everything else. So I looked at my email and it says at 17 months old and 4 weeks they should be able to undress themselves and sort out colors and shapes. HMMMM Wow I thought that is way too advanced for Gracie but, I thought ok today I will give the sorting the shapes a try and just see what she does with it. OF COURSE SHE DID IT THE FIRST TIME! I mixed all the circles, triangels, and squares in a pile and showed her how I put the same shapes in piles. Then I mixed them up again and she picked up a circle. So I said ok now get me another circle and she grabs a circle, I say get me the last circle...sure enough she digs for the last circle. She went on to do amazing with the other shapes.

I guess my thoughts on this is although I dont believe in shoving this down your kids throats and they will learn with time I still would've never done this this early so I think we can under-estimate the kiddies at times. Just a thought...and

YEAH GRACIE LYNN....AGAIN!

GRACIE WENT PEE PEE IN HER POTTY!

It is a big day in the Philpot household...Gracie went pee pee in her potty! I always sit with her and pay attention and of course the one time I was running around like a mad woman and my naked girl is yelling at me all over the house and I go in the bathroom with her and she is pointing at the pee pee in her potty! Yeah Gracie! I know this is one tiny step to the potty training but at least she understands the concept. She is a little smarty pants she is only 17 months old.

Our night with the Abernathy's!

Froggin'

So we occasionally go Froggin' (catching bullfrogs in the ponds) out here at the golf course. So this weekend all the boys went and for some reason they thought it a great idea to bring these things home? Yes us girls were a little freaked out but we got some cute pictures out of it. Kelton is just like his dad when it comes to this...you should see him handle these frogs. He will pile like 4 of them in his hands like he is just holding apples or something.

Then the Abernathy's came over to hang out and we also had to take them Froggin' because little Tommy was excited to go but when we got there Tommy was a little scared and let's just say he did a great job at holding the flashlight! I am waiting for Jenny to send me pics of that night because I think she got some great ones. JENNY SEND THE PICTURES! LOL.

We ended that night with Max throwing a frog at me and let's just say I kind of FREAKED OUT...and then when I got done screaming Kelton is running dead on at me laughing his little head off with his frog in hand...this is what I do with these boys.
