End of September?

GO HOGS!!!!

I can't believe we're at the END of September already! Kati is over the 18 month hump, and it's finally getting cool outside. This has me saying - Where did summer go? The end of summer always makes me sad. Sad that I missed out on one final lake day - swimming in the hot sun, but also happy - looking back at summers past. I try to reflect on this... but then another thought steals it away... September - I HAVE TO BUY this baby some clothes for FALL!!!! I looked through Kati's closet yesterday and said - EVERYTHING IS SUMMER!!! I LOVE summer clothes for girls! I'm not a big fall fan myself - so this is always a last minute thing. This has to be the last Sunday for all these cute summery dresses (I know it's after Labor Day - but I just love summer clothes). It may be a "FOE PA" or "Faux pas" (fo-pa) n. is to many a foreign word on the tounges of fashion snobs. ... to keep from being featured on one of those "Fashion Police" shows. ... I had to looke this one up... hehehe. I had to put my beautiful white slacks away when it was the first day after Labor Day - and thought, Why do I have to put my white pants away. COULD THEY PASS FOR WINTER WHITE? We really do make a big deal out of this. What about Sandals after Labor day? Someone answer this for me... can you wear sandals after Labor day? Ok for that and not for Sundresses? SOMEONE GIVE ME THE ANSWERS. Is there a book that will help me out here? My friend "D" is a fashion expert, with a masters in some kind of fashion... maybe I'll remember to ask her on our next phone conversation... we usually stick to talking about TV shows, Star/View, boys and work, but I'll try to sneak in some more important subjects like fashion advising. AND YES - I really did work in retail for 11 years! I was always 3 months ahead - putting coats out in July - and decorating for Christmas in September/October. We had our swimwear shop set by the week after Christmas!!!!

I know noone really reads my blog - it's really all about seeing new pictures of Kati - so I'll not hold out on you anymore, however - I will use this to say - GO HOGS!!!! She and Kris and I all sported our Razorback appearal Saturday (picture above).

I've been having trouble downloading pictures - so the next pictures are of the outfit we wore to church today. I hope you can see them...

Sporadic ~~~ Target

Sporadic ~ That is me. Especially when it comes to my blog site. I do really good - and get excited about it, for a while.... SO....


Kati LOVES the slide too. Well, her mommy loved it, she wanted to put her feet down.

Mommy and me ~ on the slide ~ Again and Again....

You can't see that one very well... oooo but it was cute. She likes to slide by herself, but backward and upside down.... Strange baby.

PS - I LOVE TARGET!!!!! I get lots of toys!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!

Kati swinging at the park...

These are pictures of a quick trip to the park...




She LOVED the swing - weeeeeee - Higher Mommy Higher (If she could talk). WHICH she will one day - (She's my child).

Here's a close up of this swinging baby! (Almost 18 months, and yes - I'm calling her a baby!!! She'll be 18 years old and still my baby.... (IF MY MOM CAN CALL JARED A BABY - I CAN CALL KATI A BABY!!!! - ~~~~~ Speaking of Jared - does everyone in the world yet know that he has a girlfriend? We'll discuss this more later.

Mom didn't want in the picture - thanks Grandma!

My 18 months, going on 18 years...

This is what I'm talking about - in blogs - previous - but I realize you will see this one before any of the others - for most of you....

So - Here - with Easter eggs, my parents have thought this is quite humorous.... teaching Kati to stuff her bra - or in her instance, shirt...


This was cute, so I took a bunch of pictures.

Trying to stuff more Easter Eggs down...

Still working on my final blog of the day...

This one she's sweet...


This one she looks like a pre - teen. Just wait till you see the next blog...

Kati today...

Kati is acting shy at first for the camera....
She must get that from her Dad, because we all know that I'm not shy!!!!

I can't even PLAY shy!!!!



Here she is holding her ball and saying - "Baa" "Baa" is Ball!!! We are excited that she's using words. We were scared she'd never talk - but with my jeans - or is it genes - she'll be talking non stop pretty soon.

OOO Another word - we're not sure where this came from... She's telling me - "No No" for more pictures. We were actually saying - Tell Mommy No No - and she does, and gets her finger to swinging too. (She must see the teachers at daycare do this - because we all know that the grandparents don't ever tell her no.)

I have another blog coming soon - VERY soon. You've got to see my PRE - TEEN - ALMOST 18 month old, and what my mom and dad (Grandma and Grandpa) have shown her. It is absolutely hilarious!!!
