Kate minus Jon & Eight




My friend Kym & I ventured down to Birmingham to see Kate Gosselin today. She was speaking at a Southern Women's Conference. She didn't speak until 1:00 but we got there at 10:00 to make sure we got a good seat, and sure enough we got front row!! The conference had lots of booths set up so we took turns shopping/looking while the other saved our seats. She just answered questions from the audience for about 30 minutes. We basically learned nothing new cause we pretty much keep tabs on the woman. Ha!! There was a moment that made us cry. This mom had surprised her special needs daughter by bringing her to see Kate. They knew she would cry when she saw her and she did. Precious!! We had so much fun. Sidenote: Can I just say how disgusted I am with my camera? Ugh so frustrating to have not-so-great pics!!




I just HAD to take a picture of these heels. I don't know any mom that wears these around!! You can't really tell, but they were HIGH HIGH heels.

After seeing Kate, we went and had a late lunch at J. Alexander's. That place is so darn good. Then we went in to Macy's right quick. That was my first time shopping there and I scored a bathing suit & a shirt for Alyson for like $7 total. Score!!

Alyson's 9th Birthday Party

Oh my goodness, my girl will be 9 on Tues. That is just sooo hard to believe. We had her "Hello Kitty" party Sat. night. There were about 10 girls that ended up staying the night. As you can imagine, there was lots of squealing, running & giggling going on.



My b-day girl:

We wrote names of prizes on pieces of paper, stuffed them in balloons, then the girls had to pop a balloon to see what prize they won. Alyson totally got into it:

Gone Fishin'

A few weeks ago, we went to Mr. Eli's 4th birthday party. They had it at the lake house & the kids had such a fun time fishing. We didn't put a hook on Bryson's pole but he sure is a pro at casting! Alyson loves baiting the hook. It's a good thing cause I'm not going to do it. Yuck!!

The Fair 2009

Daddy treated us all by taking us to the fair last weekend. I had not been to the fair in years & years and this was the kids' 1st time going. We all had such a good time.
