Never Say Never

Most everyone knows I'm a laid back mom.  I'm the kinda mom that doesn't go overboard with the clothes or the shoes.  Yes, my children get dressed up for formal events and special occasions but for the most part we're pretty simple.  I dress them like I dress myself- comfortably and not fussy. 

RooBear has turned on me.

Now, don't get me wrong- These shoes are cute.  I just never thought my children would want light up shoes.  Silly of me, right?  Every girl wants to sparkle.

Not only did this little mini talk me into shoes for herself... 

She also convinced me that Stister needed a pair, too.  LOL.  She's very persuasive.  Especially when it comes to shoes.

Moral of this story?  Never say what your not going to do when you become a mother.  Never say what your child will or won't do.  Will or won't wear.  The hardest part of this mom thing is letting them make their own decisions.  Here's to hoping all her decisions are as easy as light up or not light up. 

Hooray For Playrooms!!

As any parent of two small children knows there is one very important room in your home... A room that not only provides your children with a place to play but also allows parents to have a little quiet time knowing your babies are in a safe place when they're out of your sight.  Here it is, folks!  The playroom!!  Our other house didn't have this extra space and I honestly didn't know what I was missing out on.  Yes, it's a pain in the rear to clean but worth every second.  This is the very first room that I've finished.  I'll post more pictures of the new house as they're completed.  I love it.  So do my babies.

Pay no attention to the grumpy 3 year old.  She's giving me the, "Momma, get out of the way of the TV" look.  I get this a lot.  LOL.  She's her father's child.

I Heart Faces!

This has been the most amazing year for us.  Since our house sold we have been bouncing from family to this tiny apartment and next stop is our new house! We can hardly wait.  I'm very thankful that the one thing that hasn't changed has been our little Juicy's happy little personality.  She's so go-with-the-flow (she gets that from me) and nothing phases her.  She's literally the happiest baby I've ever seen.  She laughs and smiles all the time.  She's a total hoot and I love it.  Thank you, angel, for being so patient while your parents have dragged you all over Middle Georgia.  You're sunny disposition is constantly rubbing off on me through all of this stress.  These days are flying by and it breaks my heart that you're growing so fast but I look forward to watching every minute of it every day.  Mommy loves you!

We had a small family party for Juicy's 1st birthday.  It was so much fun!

Thank you everyone that came and celebrated with us.

Welcome Home

Well, as most of you already know, the Dixons are not moving to the mountains. Don't feel bad for us, though.  We're still excited to be sticking close to home!

Here it is, folks! Our new home. It isn't technically ours for a few more weeks but we're so excited that we can't stand ourselves.  I'm already trying to talk Shawn into having a big Labor Day party at the end of summer!
