My first day of school

Well I started "school" today and I really liked it. I was glad to see Beau. I know him from Sunday School. I really enjoy singing and group activities! Also, I haven't posted in a while so some of this is from a while back. First My mommy, nana, and I had a garage sale on Labor Day. My cousin Tristan gave me his old rocking pony "midnight". I love him! Thanks Tristan! My uncle David knew that when I saw I would love it and he was right!

My daddy was in Kansas for 3 weeks! I really missed him. When he got home I was so happy I wouldn't even go to my mommy. He also brought me a doll back, so thoughtful daddy! The first thing I did was go through his suitcase and try on his Dallas Cowboys stocking cap. He got it from my uncle and aunt in Tennessee. They are big fans! Then I parked myself in his suitcase. Next time I'm going with you daddy!
Mommy has recently begun having to put the barstools in the living room away from the kitchen bar because, well . . . I'll let the picture tell you the answer!

Mommy was tagged!

Okay so since mommy was tagged (thanks Melinda, just kidding!) she's taking over my blog for this post. So here goes 6 random facts from my mommy!

1. I have a sister that is 8 years older than me and lives in Tennessee. Her name is Suprina and she is married to Eric, (who is retired military). They have four beautiful kids-Daniel, Aimee, Zachary, and David.

2. I love making DVD videos (see uploaded video), with video, pictures, and music. I have made one for every event that our family does, so I'm sure my family is getting tired of watching them!

3. I am a nerd at heart. I love searching the Internet to find out information if I don't know something. I think its so amazing that there is so much information at my fingertips! I love going to college and learning, but I'm not crazy about studying!

4. I love animals, and to go along with that (kind of), I always root for the underdog. I love stories of people who overcome the odds. It reminds me of how good I have it, and how I should never complain.

5. I believe in fate, destiny, whatever you want to call it. Jason and I met on a blind date. We got married at the Circle of Light Chapel in Eureka Springs Arkansas on December 31st. The maid at the Hotel our families stayed at the night before was named Shawna, the lady that worked at the circle of light was named Shawna, a man named Jason did my nails before the wedding, and it was almost 70 degrees in December. Yes I believe in fate, or God's plan, whatever you want to call it!

6. Okay I wish I had some sort of wonderful domestic wisdom to bestow, but alas I don't. I don't mind doing dishes since we got a dishwasher, I don't mind vacuuming since alot of our home has wood floors, and I don't mind doing the laundry except I wish I didn't have to put it up! For some reason I have a bad habit of forgetting that I washed a load of towels. I always have to do an extra rinse cycle before I start my next load. I think this bad habit developed because of random fact # 2 and 3!


Sorry each fact kind of became a lump of facts once I started typing. Now who will I tag....

My New Dog!

Mommy finally noticed how I always ask to go see a neighbors coon dog. He is actually my nanny's neighbor. Everytime I go there I ask to see the dog. Mommy had a friend from school who had taken in 5 dogs and 14 cats. She told mommy about Trigger. He is probably 4 or 5 years old, probably has some german shepard and rottweiler, doesn't mind cats, and is very gentle. Mommy went and picked him up and now we are testing him out. So far I love him. He is already protective of the yard and barks at strangers. He doesn't bother my kitty cat, but has chased strays out of the yard. A plus for daddy! I get a little upset when I say chase and here dog, and he doesn't chase me. Maybe he will learn soon. Until then I have posted some pics of us playing today. I love to run the water hose. Sometimes I would get myself wet and sometimes I would get Trigger!

Surprise!

Well my family recently surprised my Nana and Papa Byrd for their anniversary. We took pictures together a while ago, but I couldn't post them until now. It was alot of fun getting together with all my cousins! I also went to the Hydro fair recently. I lOVED to ride the cars, but I wasn't thrilled about the merry-go-round. Hope you guys out there in blogger world enjoy the fair and family pics!

Fashion Diva

My Great Grandma Smallwood came by today and brought me some awesome bonnets. My momma, daddy, papa, nana, great papa, and great nana were all watching me try them on. All of the sudden I had a wonderful idea. I went into the bedroom and came out with nanas panties on my head. Everyone laughed, but I think it might have embarrassed nana just a little bit! I thought they looked pretty good! Mommy wasn't fast enough to get a picture of my new style because nana quickly snatched my new hat. So here are some other recent pics.

Are You Poopy

I have to tell a funny story because I am getting quite tired of mommy asking me if I'm poopy. In fact its just plain embarrassing. Well I couldn't believe it but at Sunday School my teacher even asked me, but this time it wasn't a lie when I said no. In fact I already knew who was really poopy and pointed her in the appropriate direction. As you can see by the pictures I have also recently been helping daddy and papa in the "shop". You know running heavy equipment, drilling holes, and everything else fun and destructive. Daddy says he just hopes I like to be in this kind of shop more then I like to do the kind of shopping that mommy and nana do!

18 Months old

Well I thought I needed to post on some tricks I played on mommy and daddy. The first one was when I climbed on top on the washing machine. You should have seen their faces. Mommy just looked at daddy and said "thats your child". The next one was one day mommy was getting me ready to go to church. She had taken all my clothes off (thanks mommy, a little modesty please), and was looking in my closet for something to wear. I casually sat down on the potty chair sitting next to the crib. I saw her look at me but this time she didn't comment on how much of a big girl I was for sitting on my potty chair. I couldn't have that! I grunted and grunted. I even put my hands down to check. Finally, a few drops came and I got up very proud of my accomplishment. Mommy was so excited. I finally got the response I was looking for. I can't let her get too ahead of herself, tommorrow I might have to tee tee on the floor. I also need to update on my favorites. Currently they are reading Shake a Leg, singing the hooray part of the song "If Your Happy and You Know It", going "outside" (I use that word alot), pushing my babies in their stroller, and my kitties. I love to kiss my kitties (see pics)!
