What's that? You want me to post some pictures of Gatesy Girl?? Won't be seeing any here. Not until I get a new camera. Ours ended up in the dogs water bowl today!

Today on the way to Grandear's house, I was listening to my IPOD. Isn't it funny how certain songs remind you of certain points in your life?? I am not too into music, I like it fine, but am much more of a book or TV lover. Music, nice, but I am no Singing Bee contestant.
Anyways, I started thinking, and pretty much every significant time in my life (even the insignificant ones) I recall according to song... here are a few...
Birdhouse in Your Soul (or any They Might Be Giants song) reminds me of Holly and 9th grade English. I did a presentation on this song. Holly turned me onto the CD.
Any 90s country pretty much reminds me of Cowpokes. Especially that song Strawberry Wine. Isn't that the name of that song??? Totally reminds me of Cowpokes, waiting in line to get in, and then dancing the night away, all the while empting my flask of vodka into water. Nice, I know. Water was free and I was poor. Disgusting combo to my ears at this moment...

Enya songs and Yaz remind me of Rush. Yes, my sorority sang an Enya song during rush...


Leaving on a Jet Plane, totally reminds me of F/A training. I wish you could have seen our skits on graduation day! Really cute.

One Thing by Jack Ingram = Brandon... Always will make me think of Brandon.

And back to They Might Be Giants.. I am pretty darn sure that Gymboree's soundtrack is done by TMBG. I asked but that lady didn't know. So it kind of makes me think of Gymboree, but also, when I am shopping there, I think of Holly, and 9th grade English!

You Learn Something New Every Day!!

Now, most of you mothers probably know this, I did not...
Those swim diapers that pull up like pull ups well, guess what?? When your kid is done swimming all you have to do is tear the sides and throw it away. I had no idea. I always scoot them off, wet and all.... Tearing them off is MUCH easier!

Summer Days!

Ride the Horsey down to town~ check out the video of her at the end... This is the look I sometimes get when I say no to going outside. I think I have seen that look on someone else.... Also, notice her shoes! She picked them out and brought me these to put on... nice.

We had playgroup at Ruth's house and Callie has this awesome table and chairs. The kiddos all loved it!

Uncle Tucker and Gatesy.

Gates with Dee Dee (which she is saying now) and MawMaw! Her first baseball game, she got to watch her Uncle Tucker play!snacktime at the pool! Grapes... YUMMY
