My Little Girl is Growing UP :(
Last Saturday, we went to Wichita Falls. There was some woodturning symposium deal that Robby wanted to go to, me and the girls dropped him off there in the morning, and me and the girls went shopping. The girls needed some new Fall/Winter clothes, off we go to Kohl's (my favorite store in the whole world!)
The girls pick out several outfits and we head to the dressing room. Haley starts trying on her clothes, and puts on this really cute outfit. She starts looking at herself in the mirror, looking at the back, the sides. She looks at me straight in my face and says, "Mom, I don't like this. You can see my BOOBS!" I told her it's really cute, and she proceeds to tell me that "she doesn't care, you can see her boobs and she was NOT getting it!" In my infinite, motherly wisdom, I told her, "Get used to it, they are NOT going away! all your clothes from now on are going to show your boobs!" Needless to say, we didn't get that outfit.
Haley also needed new shoes. Best place for shoes...Academy. We start trying on shoes, first a 4, then a 4.5, and finally a 5. Oh my goodness! My baby is wearing a size 5 shoe! That means we are fixing to move to womens shoes! Where did the time go! It just seems like yesterday when she started Kindergarten, and now she is in 4th grade, worrying about her boobs, and wearing a size 5 shoe! I think I am just going to lock her in her room until she is 30!

QUIET LOVES
Our Sunday School lesson yesterday was about the Good Samaritan. The 3 girls (one of which is Auzlyn) in my 1st & 2nd grade class have been coming to Sunday School pretty much their whole life, so they know this story, as well as many others. For these common stories, I try to find something that they might not know.
One thing that my book mentioned was "Quiet Loves" and how to show love to your neighbor without coming right out and say it. At first, they didn't quite understand it, but when I asked them had their mom or dad ever put a little note in their lunch box, they all said yes. I told them that was a "Quiet Love" Just a simple little note, nothing big or bold about it. Then, we talked about other ways to show "Quiet Love" to people other than family. Let me tell you, these girls had some great ideas. I always wonder if they ever really hear what I am trying to teach them. I know they are listening, but are they hearing?
Last night, as I was heading to bed, I noticed that there was a piece of paper on my pillow as well as Robby's. I unfolded my paper, which was cut out like a heart, and inside it, it said, "Love is you and me. Auzlyn Grace Jones"(in cursive, because that is her thing now) with a piece of candy in it. I do not know when she did this, or where she found "Love is you and me" (She probably googled it at some point during the day.) Robby's said the same thing. It was so sweet! This showed me that they really are listening, and understanding what is going on.
"And to love Him with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, is far more important than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.” Mark 12:33

Why Do You Always Bring That Camera With You?
This is the question I hear nearly every Saturday when we go check the deer feeders and swap out memory cards on the game cameras. I have to admit, must days there is nothing...except a couple of weird looking spiders. 
But today it all paid off! I don't think he will be asking me why I bring my camera anymore!
There were Mule Deer Everywhere!
When we were driving around Poppy's Place, we saw a calf lay in the hay, that looked like it had been out for a couple of days. Robby walked it back and around to the gate to get it back in with his Momma. See, he isn't such a bad guy after all!

Forgetful Tooth Fairy
Around our house, the Tooth Fairy is sometimes forgetful! For instance, Haley lost a tooth the day before we left for vacation this summer. Well, I guess the Tooth Fairy was so busy, probably getting ready for a trip, that she forgot to come and visit that night. When we got back from vacation, she had left a nice prize for having forgot.
Guess what? Haley lost a tooth the other day, and the Tooth Fairy almost forgot again! Keyword being almost. As the Tooth Fairy was laying in bed, she shot up and said "Oh my! I almost forgot the tooth!" Up she jumps, runs to the living room and starts digging for some money. When she finally finds some, the Tooth Fairy goes into Haley's room and carefully starts searching for the tooth under her pillow. As the Tooth Fairy is searching, Haley starts to kind of rouse up a little. The Tooth Fairy was thinking "Oh my, I'm going to get caught! I'll just bend down and kiss her goodnight" As the Tooth Fairy was bending down, Haley pops her head up, hits the Tooth Fairy in her mouth, causing her lip to bleed. But the money was placed successfully under the pillow.
As the Tooth Fairy went back to her bed, she turned on her light and Mr. Tooth Fairy asked "What are you doing?" The Tooth Fairy replied, "She raised her head and hit me in my mouth! She busted my lip and it is swelling! Next time, you are on tooth detail!" Mr. Tooth Fairy just laughed. It wasn't very funny!
