I got a new outfit and I was trying to decide how to wear my cool sequined scarf. I like it around my hips like a belt but I can wear it a different way everday. Sequins look good with everything! Now I just need some shoes and accessories and I'll be dressed to impress!

I got these cool fruit roll-ups that gave us tongue tattoos! We had to press them on for 30 long seconds so the picture would turn out good. I had paisly and Brian had plaid, I don't know what Brandon had because he wadded his up! We were already hyper from the cool fried mexican treats that Miss Sandra made us. We put powdered sugar, cinnamon, sugar, chocolate syrup,and strawberry topping on them! Then we went on a walk to get rid of the energy but as soon as we got back we ate our fruit roll-ups!!

Re-inventing myself and Meeting Ozzy

These were taken the night of the pizza party for Casey. Sarah got a hold of Lexi's black knit cap and thought she needed some make-up and an attitude! So she got Lexi in on the act and they came out of the bathroom full of 'tude and thinking they were "all that and a bag of chips". Sarah gave Lexi a dialogue and she performed perfectly with her "yo mama is" jokes and the big "I don't think so" finish. At the end of their impromptu performance they gave me some big attitude faces but I don't think Lexi quite understood because she looks...........well, she looks hilarious! Living with Lexi is always a trip!

She also saw Ozzy Osbourne on the tv and decided to pose like she was meeting him. She got next to the tv and told me to start taking pictures. I think they turned out pretty good, I love the faces she makes!

Creativity

Lexi learned how to make origami swans in school and when she came home she wanted to demonstrate her new skill.......a lot! She made a veritable army of swans out of colorful scrapbook paper, she even handed Casey and I each a piece of paper and gave us a lesson! Not one to be limited, Lexi created many sizes of swans. The smallest ones were so small I honestly don't even know how she folded them! She also created a few origami snakes. Lexi enjoys the art of paper folding so much that I think we are going to get her an origami kit with some spectacular double-sided papers for christmas. I may have to have Casey build some display shelves for all of her creations!

We went to the Fernandina Shrimp Festival with Jason, Nicole,Evan, Sarah, JB, and Haha. It was pretty cool. There were people dressed as pirates and lots of artists with things to sell. We had bbq for lunch at this funky little place then got ice cream from a street vendor. On the way back to the car we stopped and all the adults (except Mommy, she was pregnant) played on the playground with me! THEN we all went as a group to see the movie Iron Man at the movie theater at Regency, I got to sit next to Sarah and Cody and it was so cool! It was one of the best days ever!

August 20,2008 was a very happy day in my life. My baby sister Skye was born! I was in the delivery room with Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Jen, and Mammaw. It was kind of scary but pretty neat too. When I saw Skye for the first time I felt happy, excited, and overjoyed! I was the first one that got to hold her and the nurse even let me put Skye's footprints on the paper! It seemed like it took forever to Skye to get here but it was only about 5 hours, but I got bored anyway. Things changed a lot once we got home and I love having a baby to cuddle up to. I thought she cried too much at first but now I am used to it and she isn't as fussy as she was when she was born. I felt really bad for her though because she had to have her heel pricked 5 days in a row because of the stuff that made her turn yellow. Her little heels were all bruised up and it hurt her if I touched them. But now they are all better and I tickle her feet all of the time!

Here I am on my 10th birthday. I got to have two parties, one at Mammaw's and one at Cody,Sarah, J.B.,and Heather's house! Sarah decorated it with awesome flowers and a beautiful banner that she made and they hung a huge sheet of paper on the wall for everyone to sign. It was really awesome! My butterfly cake was so cool, I frosted it and decorated it myself so it was totally me. I got to do my favorite things on my special day, I swam and hung out with my friends! My cool comic book, the dress-up clothes, and the pottery wheel were the most awesome presents ever! I am still planning a slumber party for my kid friends sometime in November....lucky mom!!
