Happy 1st Birthday, Brooklynn Marie!!

Today, my little cousin, Brooklynn is 1! She is our miracle baby. She was born 10 weeks early. Her actual due date was at the end of July 2007. She was born May 19th. She was only 2 pounds when she was born. She was soooo tiny! She was in the hospital for quite a while and on a heart/breathing monitor for several months after she left the hospital. She is so precious! I love her to pieces! It is hard to believe that it has already been a year since she was born. We went to her birthday party on Saturday. She received a lot of gifts. She totally devoured her little cake! I have pictures, but I haven't loaded them onto my computer yet.

Have a very happy birthday, Brooklynn! We love you!

Below are some pictures that I have of her on my computer here at work:


With her Mommy at the hospital.



With my Dad in August. He loved Brooklynn so much! He thought she was really special.

Carl and I with Brooklynn at Grandma Miller's house. She is famous for her silly faces!


With Mommy again...

Excited because she saw the camera!

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.  ...

What do you collect?

Image
I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
