Change

I needed some kind of change with myself so I chopped my hair off and colored it dark auburn. My hair was either in a curly ponytail or a straight ponytail. Stinker likes to pull my hair and never let go so I always had it up.and let's face it, my hair is way too thick and it takes 2 hrs to blow dry and flat iron.no lie.so I always wore my hair curly but I can only do that a few times before my hair is a knotted mess.i always have long hair and needed change.i must say, i enjoy what i see.




Before.couldn't find a pic of my hair down anywhere.


After.5 inches shorter and my hairs down.booyah!

4th of July

We had a very low key 4th this year. Billy had to work a half day so Tatum and I headed to my parents for the day. Billy wasn't feeling good when he left work so he took a nap at my parents and my dad and I went for a short motorcycle ride. We went to my aunt & uncles for a BBQ & pool time.






Tatum & Stella catchin some rays




Tatum & Stella love the water so I think they'll enjoy the beach when we go in August.




Weird iphone lighting

We didnt stay long after dinner. Poor Billy was running fever and Tatum was so tired. His parents came up Saturday and we spent the whole day out and about. We went to the farmers market & my FIL got me these beautiful flowers



We went antiquing for the rest of the afternoon. Tatum did great but only had a 45 min nap all day. Poor girl was trying to play catch up Monday and was flat out exhausted. Billy and Tatum were in bed sound asleep by 8 so i cleaned the house & watched the Springdale Country Club fireworks from our bedroom window.
Billy stayed home yesterday & today with a fever. Its so nice having him home but hopefully Tates doesn't catch whatever it is he has.
