Hair Hair Everywhere

Her hair is long and beautiful

The perfect shade of blonde

I have never cut her hair, actually I take that back. Kristen and I cut her bangs when she was less than a year old. That was scary but turned out fine. Her hair has never been touched since. It hangs below her buttcrack and when it is wet she can almost sit on it. But rain or shine, cold or hot, and expecially when it is windy, her hair is everywhere! In her face, in my mouth, it even takes baths in the penut butter and jelly. It is getting time to cut it. I KNOW!! I KNOW!! I shouldnt cut it. It is perfectly healthy. I am going to cut it though. Around February, and I mean cut it. I will never cut her hair above her shoulders but I am going to cut it pretty close. It will grow back if we don't like it or if we miss it long. I will cry. I will cry. She will cry maybe.

For the time being, I am going to enjoy that long beautiful hair!

ok.. so maybe I wont cut it

BOO

BAHAHA..

Just because I love her..

She looks like me in this picture!

Most people say Mady looks like me UNTIL they see her daddy. She looks more like me as she gets older but when she was a baby, nope..not at all. She didn't look really look like when I was a baby other than I too was a chunk. She had a TON more hair than me and I have blue eyes, she has green. She does have my nose from when I was a little. Her body is built just like mine. Booty and all! Her hair color is kind of like mine as a little one.. more like my sisters though.

Everything else is her Daddy.
Me: nose, body build (chunk), hair color (I'm taken that one to please myself)
Daddy: eyes, eye color, eye brows, hair as a baby (Mohawk), ears, and so on..

p.s. Ill get with the Mom-in-law and add Zak's pictures.. you will understand then when I say she looked just like him. TRUST ME 

While being bored at.. what time is it? Oh yes.. 12:50 am.. I was playing on Picnik. I decided to look for a picture of her that looks like me.. WOULD YOU LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND!

and just to add.. this is me then and now

Dr. Seuss, the smartest man of them all!

Sometimes the questions are complicated

and the answers are simple.

-Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss is one smart man. I swear ever quote I come across from him, I agree with 99%. Here is another one:

Fantasy is a Necessary Ingredient in Living.

- Dr. Seuss

Can you imagine living a life without a fantasy. It is that thought of: "one day I will have this and be doing that. I want this for myself and that for my family. I am going to be living here in that and this is what I will do every day.  Of course filling in the this, that, and heres with your own fantasy. I can't imagine not dreaming. I dream and I dream big. This in a way goes back to the first quote. The questions are complicated and the answers are simple. Maybe the fantasy is complicated and the answers are simple. Wouldn't that be nice? In most cases the answers are simple but we as humans don't like simple, we like easy. There is a difference in simple and easy.

Simple: Not elaborate

Easy: Little effort

Now the answer to your fantasy can be simple

but the effort usually is great.

Where would we be without effort?

Bored..

ANYWAYS....

I love Dr.Seuss' quotes

You have BRAINS in your head.

You have FEET in your shoes.

You can steer yourself

any direction you choose.

I just love the next one! I describes me perfectly.. I think this goes for friendships as well!

I want the next one framed just as it is and hang it in Madyson's room!

and so she draws

Paxston       9.2011                                                     Sea Turtle   8.2011

Robot       8.2011                                                 Flower   7.2011

She drew all these by herself.. I drew the large square on the robot when I was trying to show her how hard it is to draw a square (perfect even sides) then, I continued doing what I was doing. I actually did not see her drawing them until they were finished! For a chica that does not like to color, she sure can draw when she wants to. Maybe she will draw like her Daddy use to.

First 6 weeks, accomplished!

My first 6 weeks:

finished, complete, accomplished, aced, over with, unbelievable

I just finished my first 6 weeks of school!

GO ME!

Yes, I Aced both of them! Oral communications was my favorite. I didn't think I would like speaking in front of others. Me shy? I know you don't believe me but really I am. I don't like talking to more than like 4 people at a time. All eyes staring. AHH. I'd rather jump rope and I hate jump rope! According to my four grades.. and my math savy husband, my average is a 103. Yes! Anyways, I loved that class.. the people in it, the speeches we gave, the things we learned about each other, and my teacher. SHE was wonderful. My 8:30 class rocked! As for career development, hum. The teacher (who was actually the husband of my oral com. teacher that I loved) was, well, interesting. He was the complete opposite of his wife though. Mono toned, steady, but what he was teaching was true. As a person, I did like him. I took something away from that class every day! I used what I was taught.. at home with my husband, who thought it was very humorous every time I would say "in my career development class I learned you are supposed to blah blah this or that" It is my new way of getting what I want.. per say.

The class did change my way of thinking. It is not about thinking positive (which is how we are always taught) It is about believeing positive (which is kind of common sense). There is a difference though. You may be thinking, well duh.. or maybe you think you do believe positive but really you probably don't. For example: in stead of saying I know I can pass with Honors or I know I will pass with Honors. You must say: After I graduate with Honors or I am passing with Honors (even if you actually are not at the time) You must speak in present and not future but place your future as your present. Make sense? It is not I know I can.. It is more of.. I already have. Once you place your future as your present, you will accomplish. I could actually go on about this but it would take, well, 6 weeks of readying..   :) It was a good class though. I learned!

oh yea, I Aced it as well!

Here is another great thing about these past 6 weeks. I....made...friends..... yay!  Really, I did! There is Kiara, she and I connected the first few days. That girl is not only sweet but so mature and caring. At only the age of 23, you wouldn't guess! Sad news, she has the opposite schedule as me next semester. We don't even go on the same says. THAT SUCKS! Good news, I didn't just make one friend. Another girl, Jasmine. She is going into Dental also soooooo.... next semester, we have the same classes at the same time on the same days! WOOHOO. Im excited!

(Kiara on the left, Jasmine on the right)

Most of our class.. missing about 6 people 

:::sadness:::  I'm going to miss her! 

Next semester:

Medical Terminology

Medical Law

Psychology

Oh buddy! I have a hard semester coming up. Medical Term.. (career development:) Acing!  .. on a more nervous note: my weakness is spelling and definitions. What is Medical Term? yea, spelling and definitions. So if things are misspelled on here, it is the spell checks fault, not mine! Then there is Medical Law, which according to to other students is "difficult" "one of the hardest classes" "tons of work". Again, I am Acing! As for Psychology, Im excited. So as you can see, I will be busy and nervous for my first 12 weeks of hard classes since 2004. (Say a little prayer for me)

For this week, I have off school. I will be cleaning, organizing, and getting my life ready to focus on Mom, Wife, Student.. That is the order of importance. Wife and Student switching in some ways.. Wish me luck!

I found this and have decided it will be the first thing I hang up in MY dental cubical, if that is what they are called.. Area? Space? Room?  It makes me smile!

8 sentences to sum it up

I read this quote on Pinterest (of course) and fell in LOVE with it! It is exactly true in every way possible. There really is nothing more to say, it sums Mady and I up in just 8 sentences!

Under the Sea, she's no longer 3

It has been a month since Madyson's birthday party but I figured better late than never. Right? Her theme was under the sea. Check this out to see the actual decorations and food. Most everyone from the family was able to attend (Chattanooga family at least) and a few close friends. Although the decorations were wonderful, the food was delicious, and the birthday girl was beautiful; it was the people that made the party so worth while! Mady is extremely lucky to have such wonderful and supportive people that love her!

The best thing about going to a childs birthday party

is all the presents you get to play with!

I can not wrap my head around the fact that she is 4 years old. This is the first time a birthday has "hit" me other than whens he turned 1. She is a big girl. She is a child, no longer a toddler.

She is amazing!
