I've been accepted into Regency Beauty Institute. I have an appointment with them tomorrow to tour the campus and talk financial assistance. I start July 14th. I'm more excited than I probably ever have been! I can't wait to get started!!!

Charlotte has been a cranky, yelling, and moody mess. Her top two teeth came in tonight and they are surprisingly sharp! No wonder she's been so upset......teeth hurt!

That's all for now......I'll update more tomorrow. I'm sure I'll have more to say!!

Yesterday, we went to the zoo. We had a blast! We went with my Mom, Tommy, and Charlie. We spent around 2 and a half hours there. It got so hot, the kids faces were bright red by the time we left. We saw the tigers and monkeys first. Then headed down to the kangaroo trail. A lot of the animals were pretty inactive, I think the heat was unbearable for them. We stopped and got a drink and fed the kids snack/lunch. We brought our stuff with us. $7 for a hot dog is outrageous! haha.

Charlotte's favorite animal of the entire day was the sea lions. She squealed everytime they'd swim by and stick their heads out of the water. She laughed and pointed at them when they started sunning themselves on the rocks. Too cute! She didn't want to leave that exhibit. But once we did, we ventured over to the elephants. They have the most amazing Elephant Habitat out there. It was beautiful! The elephants were pretty close and Charlotte was quite amazed. She just sat pointing at them with her eyes open as wide as they'd go.

I think next Tuesday I'm going back to the zoo again. I want to see more of Africa this time!

What a long weekend we just had. Didn't do much of anything. It was just me and Charlotte. We swam two days in a row at Cindy's. Charlotte loves to walk in the shallow end. She squeals and yells the entire time. Lately, Charlotte can't seem to stop talking. It's officially started......she's a walking, talking, full of life and temper tantrums 1 year old. I love every minute of it!!! haha. She working on her top two teeth. Her gums are purple, so close to coming through.

I've packed up all of Charlotte's baby clothes, bouncy seat, swing, baby bathtub, let's just say anything baby related. Took everything over to Cindy's last night. Since Cecily is coming the first week in July, the least I could do was bestow all of the baby items back to her. Thank God she's a girl! We'd have to buy all new everything for a boy! haha.

I've been running. Training for the Muck and Mud 5K in August. I'm throughly excited. So far our team consists of Malynda, Jessi, Matt, Heather, and Me. Jessi suggested we make shirts, I'm thinking that's not such a bad idea. Who knows, I'll guess we'll see!

Emily is home tomorrow! I cannot wait!!! I'm going to give her the biggest hug in the whole world. I've missed her so much, especially since the last couple of months have been so awful. I'm just so excited to have her home!

I've made a career decision. I feel really good about it. I know I'm going to be awesome at it. Nothing can discourage me. I'll tell you more later.

Charlotte smells like she needs a diaper change......and I don't think Kiki (the cat) or Kelly (the dog) are going to do it. So toodles for now.

These are a few of my favorite things....

It's been such a long week, I'm thanking my lucky stars it's the weekend!!!

Saw Rosa and Lindsey this week. It was long overdue. I've missed them both terribly. Charlotte and I both got a little pink that day from being out and about. We're both lathered in sunscreen, but I guess our accidental summer tan is under way!

Charlotte's favorite things to play with lately are:
Toothbrush, the kind that vibrate, she goes EVERYWHERE with it.
Her sippy cup of water.
My tattoo.....she slaps it and tries to pinch it off daily.
My phone....she's been calling people.
And last but not least.....Kiki. She lays on her, pinches her, and chases her.

On an upside for me......I bought my first NORMAL bra today. It's so pretty!
No more nursing bras for me! I'm almost a free woman! We just have to phase out the wake up and go to bed feedings!

Here is a pic of my tattoo, just for you, Rachel! And a pic of my darling Lotte!
