Fall is in the Air! Can you feel it!

Well here we are.. Fall is almost here.. State Fair is in town, and I can practically smell My Favorite "Leaves" candle burning in my house! The girls are starting to get excited about getting "The Giant" and the "Bloody Clown" out because Halloween is just around the corner. They have decided on being a Skeleton (Londyn) and Queen Elsa (Crosslee) and yes.. I'm over Elsa.. but she's strong-minded on Being Elsa, and You are only little once.. However, I will tell you they both have about 15 Halloween costumes they could choose from at this point! Halloween is my favorite, so I'm looking forward to that too!

This year has literally flown by.. You know what they say "They Days are long, the Years are short" and I do find myself thinking that.. I mean I can't believe the girls are 4 and in Pre-K! They are doing pretty good.. Cross has really struggled with the amount of change that has been going on.. She is going to be a little girl that does not love Change.. Londyn on the other hand, loves everything all the time. She's truly fine with whatever situation you put her in.. so I'm 50/50.. Cross has had a hard time with going to school on a daily basis.. She was bored at home, but she likes to do things on her own time.. so She really liked only going to MDO a few days a week at Crossings with all her peeps, and then doing what she wanted on her 'days off'.. Well.. I mean don't we all love this? I'd rather do what I want all the time too, but.. thats not very realisitc..Especially for School.. because yeah, you have to go.. She loves her Teacher though, and once she gets there she has a blast. She's just a very complex little kid who already acts like a 4 year old Lawyer.. Lucky us.

Londyn on the other hand has been perfectly happy to go to school daily. She has met all kinds of friends and tells me all about her adventures daily. She is just happy like 90% of the time wherever she is at.. with whoever she is with. She's just a jolly soul. Some things never change.. like their faces.. lol She said she wanted to "Dance like the people on TV".. (we were watching those little kid dancers on America's got talent".. So we tried dance.. She loved it.. She loved Gymnastics.. We did Karate last week, she also loved that.. she's just pretty much happy doing whatever at any time.. I think we will go back to Karate though. We went to a place called "Christian Karate Academy" and it was so so awesome. They pray before.. set goals, teach respect, teach manners, teach self-confidence..and......Karate! It was the cutest thing ever to watch! So we will go back there next week.

We also had Neighbors night out in our Neighborhood and it was so fun! I love our neighborhood of always doing fun things for the kiddos and neighbors. We've still been swimming when we have time, and this weekend Gigi is Taking the Girls to Disney on Ice to see Queen Elsa.. they are very excited about this. State fair is a fun time!

Meanwhile I'm still buzzing along with my new radio gig. I have 4 jobs now.. but I love them all! I'm doing my regular Job as an IT Project Manager at Loves, I'm selling my Lipsense and loving that with all my girls, I do marketing for Spades Boutique, a cute little childrens online shop, and I've got my radio gig. On Hank FM 99.7. We stay plenty busy. If you haven't listened yet.. its an awesome station, and I'm on from 1-5pm on Saturdays, and 12-4 on Sundays.. so give it a listen! I'm enjoying it, and hoping to do more in the future.

Yeah My birthday is around the corner.. blah blah.. I'm old. I know.. blargh.. Anyway.. MJ has volunteered to take a few friends and I to a winery in Andarko for dinner and drinks.. that will be a good time.. Once again proving how awesome it is that I have a mini-van! So that will be fun.. Hope you guys are starting off your September with a bang! I'm blessed beyond I deserve and don't take it for granted! XoXo

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?

Do you ever wonder what you are supposed to be doing in your life? I'm there.. For 13 years, while I was on the radio I thought I was doing what I was supposed to be doing.. Then in March that all changed and I was forced into thinking "What ELSE am I supposed to be doing?".. Well on Sunday the pracher was preaching about how you have to TRUST God. He had the best analogy too. He put a chair on the stage and said "We all want to trust God, but most of the time we will just lean on him while we keep one foot on the floor, or we long to stand on our own two feet because we are control freaks. So many times we should just trust the lord completely (then he climbed completely onto the chair & sat down) and not stand on our own, but trust the lord to take care of us." Which makes so much sense. I like to feel like I'm in control of what I'm doing, and so many times I should just turn it over to God and trust that he will take care of it.

The Sunday school teacher also spoke about how sometimes we end up at the last place we think we should be..But that the whole time we are doing things that might be out of our comfort zone, we are learning new skills that will help us somewhere else down the road. Good to know, because I can honestly say I have no idea what I am doing in my life right now and just have to trust that it is helping me grow & teaching me skills I will need later.

There's are a lot of new opportunities coming into play for me. I'm going to try to think about what I'm supposed to be doing, and how I can make a difference. I'm excited about this weekend! For my moms birthday I got her tickets to the OSU opener against Washington Saturday. So we (along with MJ) will all head to Stilly.. My brother is tailgating so it should be fun times.

Tonight is a therapy visit in Edmond. Miss Pays is all ready! We had a great visit last week at Brighton gardens. Those folks are a hoot! We had a blast! I took Sawyer too & he was a good boy. We had 8 therapy dogs there in all shapes & sizes! So fun!

Surehopewe get some rain soon..last night I watched the CMA music fest on tv. Mom& I went to that a few years ago & had a blast.. The show was great last night,except for Kid Rock.. Why they allowed him of all people to sing 2 songs, I don't know.. Loved Blake & Trace, Alan, Justin Moore, Martina & others.. And loved Jamey Johnson, Dierks Bentley, and Miranda lambert singing "Bad Angel"..so many good country singers out right now. I miss being a part of it..

Watched "The last Exorcism" last weekend.. It's scary! But it is entertaining if you like scary movies..also watched "The Switch" and I really liked it. It's a chick flick, but a fun one! Have a great weekend!!
