Mystery Location...Guess Where!

Do you know what I did yesterday? This picture is a hint. Visit tomorrow and I'll reveal this mystery location. (Sorry...if I were cool like the Pioneer Woman I would be giving away prizes...but I'm not so try to deal with it people!)

Encounters with Mannequins

This afternoon Camden and I went to the mall for a bit. He was his usual social self, saying hello to everyone we passed. Pretty soon he started to say "hi" to every mannequin that we passed. This cracked me up, as his daddy does the same thing just to get a rise out of me. Like father, like son I suppose.

So this leads me to another encounter with a mannequin. At the end of last summer, my friend Cari and I went up to the Encore Shop (a local thrift store). I was on a mission to find a few particular items and was pleasantly surprised when we got up to the door and it said "Bag Sale." Basically what that means is that everything you can fit into 1 shopping bag = $1. So Cari and I set out on our shopping spree. I had 2 bags filled to the brim in no time. Just as I was heading to the checkout, I saw on a mannequin a really cute outfit that might just fit Jordyn. So I set my bags down and started to undress the mannequin right there in the middle of the store. I should have know this was not going to be a good experience when the mannequin's arm fell off. Oops! After I wrestled this mannequin for a bit, a nice young worker came to my aid. My job then was to hold this mannequin while she undressed her. Unfortunately the mannequin did not cooperate so I had to wrestle her a bit more. Pretty soon, I had her wiry, blonde hair in my mouth. As I was brushing it away from my face, her wig fell off, revealing a HUGE hole in her forehead. Poor thing. About this time, I was laughing uncontrollably and was about ready to pee my pants. Soon enough though, I had the mannequin's outfit in tow. So you're asking yourself, was it worth all the trouble? Honestly, no. Jordyn hated the outfit and it didn't really fit. But I walked away from the experience with some great memories of shopping at our local thrift store.

I will never look at a mannequin the same way ever again!

Go Diamond Jaxx

Kye's travel ball is in full swing. He does a little of everything on the team...left field, right field, pitch, 3rd base, sit on the bench. You name it... I believe (but don't quote me) Diamond Jaxx's record is 7-5 as of today. Go Diamond Jaxx!!

If you are in the area and are up for a game...let's go! The boys have a blast (and so do the big people!) Sometimes the boys get crazy and sound like bull frogs out in the field. It's an experience like no other!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday dear Jordyn.

Happy Birthday to you.

Blog Worth Reading

I came across this blog a few days ago. It's hilarious...told just as it is! A labor and delivery nurse writes the most unusual, fall-off-the-chair-laughing kind of tales from her day on the job.

Check it out...Tales from Labor and Delivery

Saturday Night Excitement

Brandon and I were having an average Saturday night...grocery shopping and all. We were getting into our car after leaving County Market and I said, "Oh, there's a police car. He must have pulled someone over." Brandon looks and said, "Somethings on fire." Sure enough, it was Pontiac's old, historic jail (unoccupied, by the way). When we first drove by, flames were coming out the windows. So after we thought we'd seen enough we went home. Not too long after we were home, my good friend, Becky called and said there were flames shooting out the top of the jail and to come check it out...bring your camera too! So that's what we did. This picture was taken from across the way and is showing the back of the jail.

Gotta love these books

My good friend, Becky, introduced me to the following books by Emily Giffin. The story line includes stealing someones fiance and having someones baby and a whole lot more. Read them (start with the pink book then move to the blue). They're real good!
