From the mind of a 4 year old...

This weekend we were headed to eat dinner at Cracker Barrel when we drove past a cemetery and Natalie started to ask questions about it. This is a conversation I never want to forget.


The conversation went like this:

Natalie: Mommy...is that heaven?

Me: No Natalie that is a cemetery.

Natalie: Well what's a cemetery?

Me: That's where they bury you when you die.

Natalie: Oh yea. What do they bury?

Me: They bury your body.

Natalie: Ok. Well if that is were they bury your butt then where does your face go?

Me: I said body not butt....you silly girl!

Natalie: No your silly mommy.

Natalie: Well if they bury you then how do we get to heaven to see Jesus?

Me: Your soul goes to heaven.

Natalie: I know where your soul is at...it's under your tummy.

Me: Sure.

And that was the end of the conversation.

Grab my button

After seeing that my talented friend Codie created a button for her blog I knew I needed one for myself. I emailed her and asked her for directions on how to create one and she kindly offered to make me one. I love it! Thanks, Codie. Don't forget to grab her button too :)

Party #2

 Once Natalie decided on an all girls dance party I knew that a 2nd party was a must so that all the family could come. Here are a few pictures from Natalie's other party.

My little birthday girl

More party stuff.

Little Ballerinas

These are some pictures from Natalie's 4th birthday party. The party turned out perfect. All the little details made my little ballerina feel very special. Everything was planned out just as she wished and she had a blast.


Here all the girls stretching and getting ready to learn the dance routine.

In these pictures they were showing off the dance moves they learned to all the mommies.

All the little ballerinas looked so pretty and made Natalie's day so special. She is still talking about how great her party was!

Snow Day

On Friday we had a wonderful day of snow! Here in Alabama that is very rare. Brandy (Rylan's babysitter) had all the kids at her house so they could enjoy playing in it. I sent my camera with her so she could take pictures since I had to work that morning. Thankfully my boss let me leave at 2:00! I was so glad to get to Brandy's to see the pictures that she took of the kids. Once I picked Natalie and Rylan up we hurried home to play in the snow with daddy and Aunt Meg. It was a day of fun and we were all very sad to see the snow melt.
