Friendly Competition

So, my IRL friend Rebecca, has recently started a blog. Her hubby has a blog, but he talks about a lot of political stuff that puts me to sleep (Sorry, Robbie!) and he has been rubbing in his follower numbers!! So, why don't we all help a sister out, and follow her new blog so her hubby will stop rubbing it in?? :) Check her out, HERE.

Very First Vlog

Okay, I'm really worried that I sound like a redneck. Also, I can't seem to stop playing with my hair.





So, if Nick Pappageorgio comes to look at your house, don't let him in!! :) I'm off to try to hang on to my sanity!

Birthday Swag

My birthday was good to me, people. Like, real good. Turning 26 might have been traumatic for me, but atleast it came with good presents!!

My mom and step-dad got me my camera bag(SCORE!) and an apple green Nike running tee. This is the Jill E Medium dark pink bag. It's fabulous. It holds my camera body, both lenses, and has room for either another lens or a flash-which will be my next purchase. It has all kinds of pockets for EVERYTHING and even a little purse to hold fun stuff. 

Even though John wasn't supposed to get me anything because my real birthday present was running at Disney. Plus, my new camera and two lenses, AND a new computer- I think I had enough new stuff and REALLY tried to put my foot down, but John said he couldn't let me NOT open anything on my birthday. ( Seriously people, he is part of the reason I am so spoiled. I love him and you cannot have him!)

I love me some Life Is Good pj bottoms!

I don't know if you are ready for all of the Nike swag. I really hope someone had some Nike stock, b/c my birthday could've made your house payment. 

PS My photography skills were lacking due to the fact that Desperate Housewives was coming on and I wanted to watch

Here is heaven wrapped up in a running sock. The Thorlo padded cushion socks and like clouds surrounding your feet while you run.

I got three new single running shirts( PS I'm ADD and group things together)

I am LOVING the apple green- I need the matching tempos! Dear Nike- this Hot Red color is Fabulous!

IN LOVE with this neon green and graphite!

Matching Hot Pink? Yes, please~!

JoJo and Tracie showed up with the fabulous blue and black. Me Likey.

I don't know if you are familiar with a lot of the Nike stuff, but they have these little tabs to keep your ear bud cords from bouncing around. Fabs!

Seriously good swag... this brings me up to NINE pairs of Nike Tempo shorts. Be jealous!

My friend Jennifer who just had multiple babies got me the cutest red picture frame and a decorative "M" houndstooth towel. I love friends because I have the best ones!! My sis got me a rocking Tervis Tumbler (You know how I love those!) and some money that she specified for my new camera strap from Phat Straps. Which will be here in a couple of weeks!

Magical

My birthday was a hit! I had a blast, we ate at Ruby Tuesdays and I got so much Nike Running gear it wasn't even funny! Seriously, when I take a picture( and I WILL take a picture) you will be floored. BUT, I may not be around much this week, because I will be busy making magic happen. This is what I did for 5 HOURS yesterday. And people, that was my 2nd day there. I want to hear you brag on me, because, day 1? It wasn't easy! 

A-Day and Happy Birfday to MEE!!!

Saturday, we loaded up the kiddos after a rocky morning, and headed to what we like to call, "God's Country".. Tuscaloosa. Alabama's A-Day game was Saturday and we don't miss an excuse to get down there. I think he was over being mad at me for my mini-meltdown. 

Look at all the peeps!

Apparently, Aaron's said they would dress up their race car in whatever teams colors that won the National Title game, in the infamous words of the tag we saw on the way down there... "RowTid"

Man alive, I LOVE this place.. do you think they would mind if I built my house right here?

Uncle Jay with Addison

Ladies, he is single!!!

Claire has felt this way for a few days now...

Addison loves her some Dreamland sweet tea.. "ain't nothin' like 'em nowhere!"

Claire meeting PJ Fitzgerald... Alabama's former punt returner

Seriously.. their outfits are to die for. I can't handle it. 

MeMac wanted a picture with both granddaughters.. unfortunately, it's this one or Addison picking her nose.

Beautiful!!

91,000 of my closet friends...

Addison always enjoys the food in the Zone... some Roll Tide Trail Mix

There isn't an Alabama game complete with a view through MeMe's binoculars

Seriously, kid, this face? I'll give you whatever you want...

"Claire.. where is your tongue?"

Mama and her girls!! Thanks Daddy for remembering to snap it!

Every girl needs some houndstooth shoes, right?

In other news, today is my 26th birfday. I am seriously having a HARD time getting older. I started crying the other night thinking about it. I just can't handle it. I still feel 16 years old sometimes. How am I responsible for 2 children? Aren't I am irresponsible teenager still?
Sunday night we celebrated my birthday with the McPhillips b/c they are going out of town for two weeks to the beach. Yes, I am jealous. We went to Stix and I had some delicious sushi. Jay, Joseph, and Tracie thought it would HIGHlarious to embarrass me with the people singing to me in Japanese and I was thoroughly embarrassed. Especially since I was standing up talking to them and they burst out laughing. I guess I know what it's like to have brothers now! John and Linda got some running socks and a an awesomely awesome sports bra. Thanks for looking at the list, MeMac! :)

Last thought, I am thinking about doing a blog makeover and changing the name... what do you think of Houndstooth and High Heels? Yay or Nay?

Updates

Happy Friday! I wanted to update you on my friend Liz. I was misinformed, she was going to an ultrasound of her breast and then if they radiologist wanted to, a mammogram. So, there was a mass, but the radiologist said that it was dense breast tissue from breastfeeding for too long. I told her she needed to STOP breastfeeding Ansley (she is 2!!!) immediately! It was getting borderline creep-o! Anyway, so thanks for the good vibes and prayers for Lizziola!

Also, one of my best friends, Mallory has started a blog!!! You should go over and check her out because she is awesome. She is so stinkin' cute and one of the most precious people you will ever meet. Plus, she has amazing style. Seriously, her house is amazing!!! So, go tell her Welcome to Blogging!

Prayers Needed!!

One of my good friends, Liz, is back having an mammogram because of a lump they found in her breast at her last doctors visit! Let's send her some good vibes and non-cancerous thoughts!! I have my fingers crossed for a clogged milk duct! :)
