Camry and Megan

I thought about trying to find a photo of me and Codi at this age...but I figured that would be too embarrassing! (ugly eighties and all)...I'm just going to go ahead and post pics of the girls weekend together. They are so cute! They get along great and have so much fun together! Codi's girls are two of the girliest girls I know....and we are definitely lacking the girl spirit around here most of the time! It's fun for Camry to have some girls around to have fun with! And BOY did they have fun! They crammed everything they could into two short days together!

Going to get Megans hair trimmed.

A good friend always shaves the other friends legs!

Swimming

At the movies...to see Kung Fu Panda....LOVED IT!

Justice...just for girls. Our FAVORITE store!

They had to find matching outfits...but Megan being the bargain shopper of the two couldn't stand to spend this much money on an outfit...so they settled for this one.....

So cute! (Codi and I used to dress the same too)

Tuckered out and a little sad that it was their last night together!

A Hair Raising Event

A little background here is necessary....When I was in the fifth grade all of my friends, and I mean ALL of them, were shaving their legs. EXCEPT for me! I remember begging and pleading and getting a no every time! Poor me....(I'm still traumatized!) So because of my sad story I decided long ago as soon as Camry asked if she could shave her legs I would let her. Honestly, I figured it would have happened a long time ago. Last summer she mentioned it...I told her she could, but that once she started shaving them she would have to do it all of the time...that turned her off right away. Fast forward to today. Her buddy Megan is here to visit. Megan says, "Hey, Camry your legs are real hairy...you should really shave them!" (Megans mother is dying about this!) They asked my permission and I said, "SHAVE AWAY!" I'm going to be honest...it's a little sad, but exciting at the same time. My little girl is growing up! So fun! We're off to buy an electric razor!

For Real?!

Okay...so I went to Macey's to pick up some milk while Easton was at Karate. I admit I wasn't looking my best...but I HAD actually taken a shower! Ryan is my checker today. Just as I'm about to gather my milk up and leave, pimply faced Ryan asks me, "Hey, does your daughter work here?" EXCUSE ME?! Did this brace face just ask me if I was old enough to have a daughter that worked at Macey's? Seriously!? Should I be offended? I think I am! Botox here I come!

Breaker Breaker One Niner

Communication has come a long way since I was a kid. I remember being so disappointed that our cans with the strings attached to them didn't work as well as I'd hoped. My dad actually had a "CB" in our jeep that we would play on. Talking to truckers was a big highlight! So...Camry came home talking on this little gadget the other day. Her friend Megan...who by the way lives down the street and around the corner.....let her borrow one of her walkie talkies. (that is probably not what it is called). They can chat till all hours on these tiny little things with amazing clarity!
These girls are so cute. They are constantly checking in on each other over the walkies. I'm seriously thinking I might need one! I can just see myself, "Pssshh..hey Bonnie whacha doin?".....
Over and Out!

Celebration of Life Tag

Rochelle tagged me with her "celebration of life" tag. I don't know that I'm really in the mood today to be planning my own funeral....but in the spirit of tagging I will try. (my mom is going to hate this!)I don't have too many requests. I figure I won't be there so whoever is in charge can do as they please. However...there are a couple of things that would be nice.

1. I would like my husband to cry! A lot would be nice.....I don't want him to be so sad he can't go on...just sad enough to let me know (as I'm looking down on him from above) that he really is missing me at that moment.
2. I really don't care the cost of my casket...but I would like it to be beautiful! Dark wood would be nice...please no Oak! Silk on the inside...preferably pink...(but not old lady looking pink).
3. I think I'd like to have popcorn served at my funeral luncheon (movie theatre style)...it is after all my favorite food.
4. Because Rochelle is making me do this...I think I should give her a job. Maybe she could do an "ode to the blog" I do love the blog! Maybe a display of all of my old blog designs would be good.

I plan on living a long and prosperous life. Therefore, I don't think these plans will be needed...but I guess just in case....

I'm tagging Bonnie, Jenny, and KerrieLeigh

SERIOUSLY???!!!

Just thought I'd vent a little. Maybe it will make me feel better...probably not though! I am freaking out! I accidentally erased my entire blog...thankfully not my posts too! I was planning on spending the day in my yard...but now I think I'll be spending my day at my computer restoring all of my settings! Oh Brother! Sometimes I just really hate myself! If for some reason I miss your name on my link list...it's not because I don't want you on there...it's because I'm trying to remember everyone's blog addresses!! AAAHHHHHH! I have people ask me all of the time how I figure out all of these things on the blog...my answer is always, "I just push buttons." Hmmm...maybe not such a good idea!

Keepin' It Real Tag

I was tagged by my friend Aundrea. This tag is all about keepin' it real! The rules are to take pictures of the things listed below, but no straightening, primping or prepping. Leave everything just as they look and take the picture! Then tag five people.

1. Fridge: Amazingly there is actually a wide variety of food in there!

2. Closet: My name is Autumn...and I have a problem. (does everyone have to color coordinate their closet?)

3. Kitchen Sink:I hurried and took this picture before I cleared the table from breakfast....the fruity pebbles were all over the table...but the sink looked fabulous! :)

4. Laundry Pile: How humiliating! Seriously...I hate laundry...and it NEVER ends!

5. Toilet: Today I'm thankful for my strict put the lid down before you flush rule! ..Oh and yes that is my garbage can ON TOP of my toilet. I have a dog and her name is Emmy. :)6. Favorite Room: Love this room so much it's hard to come out of some days! My bed is so comfy and warm! I have spent just about every day of Jace's life reading stories and taking a resty in the afternoon with him while the kids were at school....I'm making myself sad thinking about this since he's going to go to Kindergarten in the fall! :(
7. Favorite Pair Of Shoes: My Aunt Jean bought these for me. She is so generous. Whenever she takes me and the girls shopping she'll say, "today is pick a pair of shoes day"....or "today is pick a pair of pants day". So fun! I love that about her!
8. What The Kids Are Doing Right Now:

Camry is playing outside with her buddy Megan.

Easton is out front riding his ripstick...by the way he is really good at it...and it is HARD!

Jace and Grandma are playing a serious game of Trouble inside.

9. Self Portrait: This was the only one I cheated on...I had taken this self portrait another day...but I do still look just the same. (only today I didn't take a shower) Yuck!

10. Where You Want To Go: I would love to go to Paris with my husband...so romantic!

I am tagging:
