Basketball Homecoming...

Byers is one of the few schools that has a "homecoming" for both football and basketball...mainly because they just got football this year. Dotty wore her football mum (with a few changes added by me and Kathy McGhee) to the basketball game Friday night. She also wore her cheerleader outfit...which is just getting plum tight on the little cutie. Hope yall enjoy the pictures.

Troll Doll Dotty...

Dotty was playing the other night at Howard and Ruth Ann's house and found a UT "crazy hair" hat that she wore around. I believe Ruth Ann said it originally belonged to Lacey and then Payton got it too but it was so cute on Dotty I had to take her picture and post it.

She reminded me of those Troll Dolls from the late 80s early 90s. I hope you know what I am talking about. I am so dating myself at this point. I remember those crazy dolls...I had tons of them to play with. It is amazing what becomes popular with children. Kids have zero taste in style through most of their childhood. At least I sure did.

Long time no news...

I know, I know...two months and no news from me. You have to remember that I was in the middle of pecan season and we had basketball going on too so I was lucky to know my own name much less blog.

Here is what has happened in the last few months....

Tony has been coaching b-ball games...he has already started district and we have won some and lost some. I will let you know how all that pans out.

I survived pecan season at the Pecan Shed. We started selling homemade fudge that we make at the store and for a while it was crazy (or should I say nuts) trying to figure out what we were doing but we got the hang of it just in time for Christmas. The fudge is really good and sold well. I love the peanut butter and chocolate layered...that is why I am going back to Weight Watcher's meetings starting tonight!!!

Dotty is getting bigger every day and learning so much. She can say almost anything you ask her to. She is learning colors and putting words together now thanks to the days she spends with Kathy Westmoreland...she is so wonderful with Dotty and I am so lucky to have her keep Dotty 2 days a week.

Christmas was almost too much for Dot. She got overwhelmed with all the parties and gifts. Several meltdowns took place but we all survived.

Still only 2 teeth on the bottom in the front. I swear she is going to start high school with only 2 teeth! They are getting so big she looks like...well hard to say...still cute but man those teeth are big!

She did not like Santa this year (or "Ho, ho, ho" as she called him). She liked him from a distance and on her Dora dvd but the one time we tried to get her picture made with him she cried big tears!!! Better luck next year.

Okay, okay...that is all the typing I am going to do now. I will try to post some pics. More later...I hope!
