Poor Guy... thinks he is going to get tutored!


Today is the day, the day that our lovely little Cooper is going to get neutered. He is such a sweet little cat I guess he just knows even though this crazy little girl dresses him up and puts him in baby carriers and infant swings and strollers, she is that same kid that cried for an hour and talked those adults into keeping him so he just goes along with anything and accepts the fact that he is my daughters "baby doll".

He was thrown out of a car in the park in front of us last year, he couldn't have been more than 6 weeks however, my husband had always said NO CATS!! So needless to say my daughter cried from Lewisburg to Brookville and on the way home my husband said, " if he is still at the park we will keep him". Well of course that poor little kitten was still in the park he was also in the exact same place he was scared to death so we took him in and love him dearly. He comes in and out and we joke that he is the bar tender at the party barn next door and sware we have seen him stumbling out like he was milk drunk lol. We also believe he might of gotten one of the barn waitresses preggo so now he is off to be TUTORED...shhh don't tell him the truth!

Changing My Name

Oh yes.. I did just break the cardinal rule, once you name your blog...leave it alone! I just couldn't... it didn't make sense, it wasn't me and your blog should reflect nothing but you, so I did it anyway :-) sorry blog police.
Smiles for Lemons it is and I LOVE IT!!


I know I'm not a true southerner I don't care I lived there until I was in 3rd grade and then again from 1994-2000, so call it what you want but I feel southern in my heart and I always will. I miss Atlanta dearly, it is a wonderful place with wonderful people with sweet tea that cannot be duplicated!!!

A day in the life of Avery Mckenna....

When I use to dream of having a little girl this Avery angel is what I would dream of. And then when I got preggo again I tried so hard to not get attached and to love this bundle that was growing in me, I tried not to even think about the pregnancy at all. People would ask and I would pretend to be happy but inside I was miserable. Until one day... I realized I was five months and past that dreaded 4 month stage when I would always have a miscarriage. I was able to relax somewhat and begin dreaming of her place in this world. She made a dramatic entry into the world as the placenta didn't want to separate and I just remember lots of blood on my Doc, tears in my husband's eyes and thinking okay baby is good that is what matters most. It was a crazy mad house in the delivery room for my first baby and I remember my Mother-in-law saying, "Did you hear what was playing when you were delivering her?" It was Good Morning Beautiful-Steve Holy.:-)

She is beautiful inside and out! She shares my weakness for animals, babies, photography, and just life itself. She is headstrong and fiesty like her mama beyond belief. She is true to herself, she loves music, she loves swimming and is sooooo good at it. She is my little bookworm (didn't get that from me sadly) She loves to dance when no one is around and I mean break it down :-).She has been such a blessing to this family and such a good big sis to her brother. She is my shopping, good willing, garage saleing & flea-marketing sidekick and my baby girl and I thank God everyday for the opportunity to be a good mother to her and lead her in the right direction.
WAKING UP....UGH

Halloween Party

So we had it & survived it, nobody got hurt, nobody threw up from all the junk, nobody wanted to go home, therefore I call it a successful first kid's party.
