6 Random Things Kasey Chrismond asked me to name six random things about myself... 1) I sometimes treat myself to vanilla ice cream with brown sugar sprinkled on top! 2) I tivo "reality" shows like the Hills on MTV and Keeping Up With The Kardashians on E! 3) I have to have a chocolate long john from Hoover's Bakery at least once a week-with a coke of course:) 4) Sleeping is my favorite hobby. 5) I cannot stop rearranging the furniture in the house. I am always looking for places to add or move pieces around-I think about it in my sleep!! 6) I am the happiest when I'm with Phillip and Foster!!!!

The Granddaddies: Foster & Granddaddy Foster & Bo Foster & Papaw

The Punch Incident: So I leave Foster alone in the den for two seconds and this is what I find when I return... You can't really tell from the picture but the punch puddle was pretty large and she was covered-so much in fact that her arms and legs were red! Needless to say, the floor got mopped AGAIN and Foster had an early bath that night:)

Chocolate Anyone??? We had chocolate pudding for the first time the other day. I'm not really sure how well she liked the taste but playing in it was awesome:)

Phillip, Foster and I went to Atlanta this past weekend. We stayed with Uncle Ike, Aunt Martha, Hal and Rachel. Friday we went to the Georgia Aquarium- WOW! Foster was really more interested in the people but the rest of us were amazed at the fish! Saturday the girls went shopping and the boys went to Green's and the Brickstore Pub.

On our way to Atlanta and Foster is ready!!
