since we last saw each other ...

... i turned 28. and managed to take a photo with both of my sisters where nobody was throwing a punch!

... the wild woman decorated the kitchen for mommy's birthday.

... we cheered our beloved razorbacks through a 10-2 (WOO PIG!!!) season.

... the wild woman learned to sing the razorback fight song in its entirety. (alternately titled: ohhh the things you can make a 3-year old do for yogurt! ha!)

... we dressed out in hog gear every single saturday!

... the wild woman started dance!!! she's in love, y'all. and legit talented!

... sophie b took her first road trip to fayetteville! and subsequently danced on her first chair in jose's on dickson. i'd bet money it won't be the last. ha!

... i finally bought new lamps. (i'm sure no one else is excited by this ... but humor me.)

... we hung stuff on the walls in the playroom! only took us 2 years.

... i basically forgot halloween and scrounged up what we called a sunflower at the last minute - thanks mainly to my mom's large stash of tulle. definite mommy fail. but at least the girl loved it!

... the niece i remember picking up from pre-k (when she got suspended for threatening to cut one of the teachers with a knife ... truth.) is halfway through the FIFTH grade. and hilarious. and the cutest thing i've ever seen!

... the niece i remember playing barbies with is IN HIGH SCHOOL. and gorgeous. and smart. and a cheerleader. and dating a football player. eep!

... i dyed my hair. again. and apparently became obsessed with open-mouth self portraits. you're welcome, world.

... the wild woman and i started decorating for christmas the week after halloween.

... i stayed up til 2:30 on a school night decorating the christmas tree.

... my precious MC and i pulled off a fabulous mistletoe fair!!!!

... these three amigos became hell on wheels with our walkie talkies. wolf pack forever!

... my girl and i did this for a solid week after mistletoe was over.

... i finally found a pair of boots that fit my chubby calves!

... i can't for the life of me figure out what happened to my beloved razorback boys against lsu. suppose now all i've got to say is ROLL TIDE ROLL.

... the wild woman GREW UP. without my permission.

... it finally got chilly enough for sweats! wahoo!

... she and i have been inseparable.

... this kiddo has gotten more precious with each passing day.

... i have created a full-fledged carbon copy of myself. poor hubs.

... this girl has made me laugh every single day!

love & peanut butter fudge,
