Kemper and Lil

"KEMPER" is what Lily calls Kemp and "LIL" is what Kemp calls Lily! Today I'm keeping both, and YES, they are both down for a NAP!!!!!!!! They were so funny today and both absolutely LOVE to go to AUNT CUTIE'S room and watch her get ready for work! See them in her make-up?????? THEY LOVE IT!!!! They played so well, so far! A couple of "skirmashes" but most times they are so loving and sweet to each other! It's so cool to see them growing up together. Like TWINS!

FUNNIEST PIX EVER!

These are the FUNNIEST pictures ever!!!!!!!! Here is KEMP, after going to Lily's birthday party and keeping him awake (so he'd go to bed early) trying to stay awake long enough to eat his dinner! Even the promise of his favorite FRENCH FRIES could not entice little KEMP to stay awake! BLESS HIS HEART! He fell SOUND ASLEEP while EATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, we DID wake him up (he got so mad!) ; we bathed him and he even rallied enough to get a GOLF LESSON from Big T! HAHA! Then, he wanted some SWEET HEAT potatoe chips from Aunt Cutie!.....The next couple of shots were made on our way to church on Sunday morning! He was so FUNNY!

Lily's birthday party!

TODAY is Lily's 2nd birthday! I can't believe our little girl is already TWO YEARS OLD!!!!! She is so precious and sweet ! ........Her birthday party was yesterday at her house! SOOOOOOO many kids!! (and most of the kids are from the Sunday School class called: DINKS---D-double I-income-N-no-K-kids! HAHAHA! Not anymore! I think everyone in there has one or two kids!).

Michael and Kadie are such good hosts and always have the BEST parties and the BEST food!!!! It was great! the kids were all so funny and cute and we just had a ball!  Katie was soooooooo bummed out that she had to work at Lara on Lily's b'day! SO that is one reason I made so many pix! So she could  see all that we did!

Most of the pictures are of the party---they end with Lily opening some of her gifts---OURS! HAHA! (if I had put all the gift pix I would have a thousand pictures to add to this album!). Speaking of albums, I made Lily her very own birthday album. She LOVES scrapbooks and so I made her one of her very own!

( LILY: Happy Birthday to my precious little angel girl! I love you!)

OUR ANGEL IS TWO YEARS OLD!

Tomorrow  (August 27) is LILY CLAIR FRY's 2nd birthday! Today, Saturday (Aug.26), is her party! I just had to go ahead and put her ANGEL PHOTOS that I made a couple of weeks ago on my journal page ! I was saving them in honor of her birthday.Kadie hasn't seen them yet--she will FLIP OUT! I am giving her a bunch framed/enlargements for part of Lily's b'day prezzies. I had some changed to Black/White and sepia and they are all just BEAUTIFUL!!!!  I'm really quite proud of these shots (but it's easy when you have a beautiful subject!). I love each  and every shot! Lily loved "being an angel" and really looked the part!!! As we were making them (Katie was off work that day!), people were riding by and stopping and pointing and smiling! It looked as if a REAL ANGEL had dropped from the sky into our yard! IT DID! Two years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (LILY CLAIR FRY---GranJan loves you so so so so SO much! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little ANGEL GIRL!)

This is eerie!

I found these old pix of Natalie and they look eerily like two I made at the beach of Katie! HOW EERIE ! I've always thought they looked so much alike and these pix prove it! It's funny, but most people are always telling me how much they look alike! (actually how the 3 of us look alike--poor girls! HA). Can you tell who is Nat and who is Katie?

Bragging Rights!

 Oh how I wish I had pictures today! I wanted to take my camera but didn't want to embarrass Charles so I didn't. Now I regret it and only have these articles that I shot with my camera of the events of today!!!.....This day I'm not bragging on my grandkids! Today I'm bragging on my SON! My firstborn!!! Sorry to brag, but this is worth bragging about!!! Charles was selected as one of 40 in the  22nd annual class of Birmingham's Young Business Leaders. They select 40 under 40 years old for that honor!!! And guess what? TWO from our family made the top 40!!!! Kimberly Powell, James' wife, was another one who made it! What an honor!!! The ceremony was held today---August 24, 2006 at the Wynfrey Hotel. Charles' law firm was there as well as our table---me, Terry, Rachel, Rachel's mom-Cathy; her dad and step mother--Jim/Carol and of course, the honoree: CHARLES! We saw Fred/Bette and James/Kimberly but were across the room so we weren't together but we cheered each other's wife/husband/son on!!! It was a wonderful, proud moment for me! All moments that my children do ANYTHING make me proud, but this comes from Charles' peers which makes it even more special. What an honor for one so young---not quite 34 years old!!!  He listed his mentors as his dad; his grandfather (my daddy!); Art Hanes, Jr.; J. William Rose Jr; and Hon. Judge J. Scott Vowell. I'm proud that he is an attorney but just as proud that he is a small group leader at Advent Episcopal Church and involved with Urban Ministries  and involved with Children's Hospital and Youth Leadership Forum and  the President's advisory council at Birmingham Southern College among many other things (see article). The nominator comments for him were given by Judge Vowell and were very touching. I know my daddy is smiling down from heaven today and I just felt him beside me as Charles walked up that podium. He was such an influence on Charles and encouraged him every step of the way. I wish he could have been there with us, physically, but know for sure he was there in spirit saying, as always, "Charles, I'm so proud of you". As a mom, it was one of those "glory days"--almost as special as the day he was born! (I love you, Charles and you will always be special in that you are the  FIRST one who propelled me into the role I love most---being a MOM! You were my first son/child and I am was so proud then ,and now, and love you so very very much!!!).

Katie's COACH

I thought it was fun to make pictures of Katie's "class" with her coach! He did some mock interviewing and then he started helping her get ready for her WALK on stage. He is great at showing his students just how to stand and walk!!!!!! We went yesterday (Katie's b'day) so I made her open a fun prezzie there---an AMERICAN BEAUTY PAGEANT Barbie doll! Don thought that was the funniest thing ever!!!!!!!! HAHA! I bought it off E-Bay---it was new in the box, but made in 1991~! The doll came with a crown and a banner ! Too funny.......... Don also made Katie watch herself from last year on the T.V. from the video and showed it to her and she freaked out when she saw herself. She kept saying "What was I doing with my MOUTH?!" haha!  He is always soooooooooo complimentary of Katie but he did say, "We still have some STAGE work to do!" hahahaha! Yes, she needs some help walking,  reminding her to hold up her shoulders and flirt with those judges! HAHA!  And Don is just the one to show her how to do it!!! Time is going fast---it will be here so soon!!!!!!!! YIKES!!!!!!!!! It will be so much fun! I'm so proud of her for wanting to do it and I can't imagine walking on a stage in a bikini (even 40 years ago!). YOU GO GIRL! We're rooting for you!

BEACH TIME!

We had the BEST TIME at the beach!!!!!!!!!! The trip seemed to FLY by---only 4 1/2 hour drive and it went so fast I didn't even have time to finish Lily's scrapbook! (yes, I took scrapbook stuff with me and worked on it in the car and later, when we arrived, in our condo!). We stayed at WATERCOLOR and it is just beautiful there! We did NOT want to come home !!!!!! It was fun just doing whatever we wanted to/WHEN we wanted to! The weather was picture perfect with the exception of being a little too hot!!!! But, it was still beautiful!Katie and I hit the outlets from 11-3 and got some great stuff! She got b'day money from her dad and she got an adorable Dooney/Bourke watch and a few other goodies. (I got MYSELF a new Dooney/Bourke purse too!). Of course, we both found the little ones lots of cute things for their b'days!....Saturday, Katie and I stayed in the pool on FLOATS all day!(yes, I stayed on a FLOAT in the pool!). Terry went to the beach and swam, then would swim at the pool with us. The water was like a bathtub , it was so warm. So was the Gulf of Mexico---the weather man said it was 86 degrees!....Terry made us the most wonderful Pina Coladas (thanks to Mike Bagby's recipe!) OH, MAN--they were wonderful! I believe the ICE CREAM is the secret ingredient!!!!  AND, yes, Katie was old enough to have one!!!!! (well, what's a few days early?!)...Had SOOOO much fun but it's back to reality!(boo! hiss!). But,  We are thinking of going back to Watercolor for Thanksgiving! We'll see if we can work out the logistics with so many  of us, but it sure would be fun!

Lunch with the girls (and one little boy)

To start off the b'day I caught Katie coming out of her room with the camera! HAHA! After scurrying to get ready, she had an appointment with Don from 10-11 (pix of that later!). Then, we headed to Brookwood where we had a GIRLS LUNCH (with one special little BOY)!

Birthday lunch at BRIOS with Kemp/Nat and Lily/Kadie ! We had so much fun and the kids were so good. Both said, "Happy birthday, CUTIE!".....Natalie gave Katie a GUCCI bag---wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!; Michael/Kadie gave her a gift certificate to Salon Bella ! Another WOW!  Food was good and then we went to Brookwood for a little while to spend some B'day money!.......Back home Katie got lots of cards and a special one from MIMI (Which made her cry!) and fifty dollars from Charles/Rachel! She got lots of greenbacks!!!!!!!!.......Tonight we're going to ZAPATA'S to continue celebrating! .........HAPPY BIRTHDAY CUTIE PIE!

Katie is 21 on the 21st!

Here are some pictures from a couple of days ago at the beach, starting with 2 from her babyhood! SEE, she was beautiful then, too!!!! (Also notice the 2nd picture---TOPLESS on the beach!!!!)

 

Katherine Louise Fry is 21 today! She was born August 21, 1985 and weighed 8 pounds and 6 oz and was 19 inches long! She had a HEAD FULL of black , curly hair and TWO HUGE DIMPLES---one on each cheek! The doctor came running in and said, "Have you seen your baby yet?" I was scared to death when he asked that but he was grinning so I hoped she didn't have 2 heads or something! "SHE HAS DIMPLES!" he said! "I've never seen such dimples in all my time delivering babies!" And , dimples she STILL has! I told her she needs to make them shine during the pageant!!! (fill them with baby oil or something! HAHA!)..........I can't believe our baby is 21 today!

Happy Birthday, sweet Katie! We all love you so very, very much!

Our little Professor

Well, Kemp stayed for awhile , while his mammy went to the dentist. He loves sunglasses and Katie had these old ones so I took out the lenses and he said, "GranJan's glasses!" haha! I tell you the truth, that boy has the longest EYELASHES! Not fair!  I wanted to see him before we leave tomorrow, anyway! I was hoping I was keeping Lily today, too but Kadie was off so I'll miss my MISS PRISS for a few days ---Terry, Katie and I are heading to the BEACH! Hurrah! We asked Katie what she wanted for her BIG 21st b'day and she said she'd love to go off for a few days! Since Terry didn't get to stay long in May with us when we went to SandDestin, we decided that we'd go back. Most kids are probably back in school so it should be a tad less crowded on the beaches. We're staying at WATERCOLOR, it's a beautiful place next to Seaside. Can't wait! I didn't even feel bad when Nat said, "I'm jealous! Can we go?!" I didn't even feel bad when I declined her invitation to join us. HAHA! Sorry Nat!!!!!!!!!! MY turn---you got to go to Vegas, now it's GranJan's time!!!!I'm ready to do some chillin on the beach and drink some pina coladas and watch the sunset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KATIE can have a sip , too! She'll be 21 on MONDAY!  My baby is 21??????? How can that be?! WAAA!.....No entries for the next few days but I'm sure I'll have lots of entries and things to journal about when I get back! And, of COURSE, my camera is already packed!!!!

Walk to Emmaus

 

That picture is  of me and Jesus! :)

Last night was one of  6 team meetings for the WALK TO EMMAUS that Terry is the Lay Director for , on the week-end of Sept.7th-10th. The picture I put on today reminds me of how I feel when I go to the meetings and being part of a Walk to Emmaus. I feel like Jarius' daughter (in the stained glass photo I made while at Our Lady of the Angels Monastery) today. WHY? Because  I am sometimes "dead" spiritually , but after going to the meetings or to church or just being with Christian friends, Jesus reaches out and touches me again and I am ALIVE, once again. Like the song Natalie and Natalie (Yes, TWO Natalies sing at SonDay Live!) sang on Sunday, "I'm ALIVE! I'm ALIVE!" I love singing those verses! We should all sing that song all day long! We're alive---alive in Christ! And I feel that way after Sunday's sermon/music and last night's meeting. Hearing talks and just being a part of the fellowship of Christ's church touches me so deeply that I'm overwhelmed by His goodness and His grace. One reason I love the Emmaus Community so much is that we're not all the same denomination but we're all a part of the BODY OF CHRIST. I get PUMPED up just hearing other people's stories. Their joys/their journeys and , yes, their struggles. We've all had those times. The joyful times when we want to scream from the mountain tops how blessed we are, and then the valley times. When we almost want to crawl back under the covers and hide. It's encouraging and uplifting to be a part of a community of believers who are there to help you when you've fallen down or to sing alongside you when you just want to PRAISE Him!

I love the story of Jarius' daughter. Jarius himself was a leader of the synagogue and he came to Jesus and fell down at his feet and begged Jesus to come and heal his daughter who was near death. His daughter was 12 years old. Imagine if your 12 year old were dying. He was desperate and nothing but the touch of Jesus would save her and desparate times call for desparate measures!. Jesus immediately started going to Jarius' house but was sidetracked when a woman out of the crowd came and touched the hem of his garment. He felt it......"WHO TOUCHED ME?" he demanded. And you know the story, the woman was instantly healed b/c of her belief. It seemed as if the woman sidetracked Jesus from going to Jarius' house. I can only imagine Jarius was freaking out!!!! I would be! His problem seemed greater---his daughter was dying! In fact, she died while Jesus was talking to the woman whose hand had touched his robe and was healed. Someone came and even told Jesus not to bother going to the house of Jairus, that the girl had already died. But this guy obviously didn't know Jesus! Jesus comforted Jairus even before he went to the house by saying, "Don't be afriad. Just BELIEVE and your daughter will be well". They went to the house and people were obviously screaming with sadness over the death of this young, precious girl. Jesus took Peter, John , James and the girl's father and mother in with him and they were crying and wailing and Jesus told them, "STOP CRYING. She is not dead, only asleep". Can you imagine what everyone did? They saw she wasn't breathing and  saw that she was cold and that her heart was not beating nor was any breath coming from her nose or mouth and yet this MAN came out of nowhere and said she was just asleep. I would love to have been outside Jairus' house when that child stood up and they heard the screams of joy inside that house! JUST IMAGINE!!!!!!!!! I loved that Jesus told them to give her something to eat. That proved she was indeed alive and needed nourishment from the hood of death that had been over her. I imagine everyone around was handing her grapes and bread and water and amazed that she was eating and laughing and ALIVE. I'm ALIVE! I'm ALIVE! Imagine the way this young girl spent the rest of HER life. Imagine the stories she told her children. Her grandchildren. And even on her death bed, she knew, as she left this world  (for the 2nd time!) she was still going to be ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pix of my MOTHER! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, MIMI!

My mother, MIMI (as everyone from her kids to grands to great grandkids to the preacher , call her!), is 92 years young today!!!! She was born August 14, 1914--Frances Louise DeArman, called "LOUISE". She is doing great and lives at HearthStone Assisted Living facility. For her birthday (besides the usual gifts of a new shirt,etc), I made her a little scrapbook taking old pictures--and turning them into copies! Yes, old pictures turned into NEW pictures from  some new techniques called "Photo transferring" and then transferred the "new" photo to mica! Yes, mica! Mica is, of course, a mineral but it is great for scrapbooking! It is flexible/able to cut it easily and can stamp on it/write on it and it's transparent (depending on the thickness you use)! I had been reading about it in scrapbook magazines and have been wanting to try my hand at it.  I also tried some different techniques highlighting the person I wanted in a picture and tried that on Mimi's as well. I had a hard time finding the mica, tho, and I finallyfound/ ordered it online. I went EVERYWHERE in town , searching for it and sometimes people would look at me like I was crazy when I asked for MICA! HAHA! I was so excited when that package came and I opened up that big slab of mica! Terry was, like, "WHAT IS THAT?!" HA!  So, for the past month  I have taken old pictures and transferred them to the mica and having a ball doing it! (no telling how I do it! It's a secret process! HAHAHAHAHA). Anyway, notice the MICA pix on the  pages!!!!!! I have also made myself and Charles ( a book for his b'day) a scrapbook about Daddy using the same techniques. I just love using MICA and look forward to making more scrapbooks using it in the future! I hope Mimi enjoys her little BIRTHDAY scrapbook as much as I enjoyed making it! (She will go nuts trying to figure out how I put  her picture on that mica! ha!). Of COURSE, I put my OWN pictures in the little book , too---after all, I AM her baby!

OH, and for those who want to see her now, I put a couple of RECENT Pix on here , too (not in the album, tho!)

*  FYI: I put the picture pages first and then close up shots of the individual  mica techniques, too!*

Happy Birthday to my precious MOTHER!!!!!!!!! (I love you, MIMI! From your baby girl!) xxoo

BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOSH! I just had to write what Kemp did this morning (Sunday morning)! We were downstairs and Katie sneezed and we heard this little voice say, "BLESS YOU, CUTIE!" We FREAKED OUT! He did it all on his own---no prompting from us! Big T didn't belive us, I don't think, so he "Faked" a sneeze and sure enough, we heard that precious little voice say, "BLESS YOU , BIG T!" That was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen any little one (not even TWO years old!) do! (of course, we all then had to sneeze a million times to see if he would keep doing it! He did!)....What an angel!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to tell Pastor Jack  and Jim Savage today at church!!!!!!!! I am reminded of the verses from LUKE 18:15-17)---"Some people brought even their babies to Jesus so he could touch them. When the followers saw this, they told them to stop. But JESUS called for the children, saying, "Let the little children come to me. Don't stop them, because the kindgdom of God belongs to people who are like these children. I tell you the truth, you must accept the kingdom of God as if you were a child, or you will never enter it".

Cheese Dip and a BUSTED LIP!

*Notice our baby's LIP! POOR BABY BOY!!! (in all the pictures he is sucking it! I know it hurts!)..............

Kemp is here, right now and (hopefully!) still sound asleep! I picked him up from Nat/Brad's this afternoon and we came home and he was so excited to see "BIG T"!( But, not as excited as BIG T was to see KEMP! haha).He played and played and is talking in sentences, like a BIG BOY (KEMP, not TERRY! HAHA)! It's unreal how he talks! "There's Big T's car!" and "Oh gosh! that's fun!" and "I see Cutie's car!" unreal!.......He was playing and having such fun in the little playroom next to the den while we were watching the news. (We can actually watch him play thro the fireplace -sounds wierd!- the fireplace that is open on both sides). All the sudden we hear a horrible scream! We both jump up and run into the playroom and he is standing there with a mouth full of blood! We almost had a heart attack! He had busted his lip--it was cut in 2 places! (at least he didn't knock out one of those adorable little teeth!).That is TWICE now that he has been hurt at GranJan's ! First, he cut under his eye, this time his LIP! God love him, he's not going to want to come b/c he gets hurt everytime , but he's suich a  ROUGH and TUMBLE boy!!!!!!!! Big T grabbed him first and we put cold rags on it and ice on the lip. He quit crying quickly but his little lip looked so bad! We almost didn't go out to eatn (our little Mexcian place, LA BRISA, around the corner), but we did and he even ate some cheese dip and chips! Ricardo , the owner, had a fit over Kemp! We had fun with our munchkin tonight, despite the fact he hurt his sweet little lip!!!!! (hope it's down before tomorrow when he sees his mommy at church!!!!!!!!!!!!)....Jon and Katie got back from Clanton (they went to visit his dad and step mom)  right after we got back from eating and Aunt CUTIE, of course, bought Kemp some new shoes! Adorable! Kemp had a fit over Jon and ran to him before Jon could  even get out of the car! They wore him out playing with him and, hopefully, he'll sleep well tonight! Tomorrow his mommy sings during church (hurrah---I love it when she sings---every other week at RUMC SonDay Live!)........ Kemp: Sleep tight little man! Hope your LIP is well tomorrow! I LOVE YOU, my sweet little grandson!

KATIE LOU (and her fake INTERVIEW)!

Here's a few pix of Katie meeting with her coach for the pageant at Joyce's dress shop. The last year's winner gave her Don's name--he is the "best coach ever" was what she told Katie. We agree-- Don is great---he has already helped her so much and is such a cool guy! She has HOMEWORK each week and she also makes notes on suggestions, etc. Right now they are working on her interview (which will be in front of several judges).  I made a few pix last night of one of the many "mock interviews" he gives her. (she's got to remember to put her hands in her LAP! HAHA).Also she is getting many valuable "inside tips" ! He is a judge in many pageants and was the coach for the 2 last winners of Miss Ala/USA so he definitely gives good advice! He asked her questions like he does of the girls he interviews in pageants and at the end of the session , he told her she did GREAT!! This was her 2nd session---he's so good she will probably meet with him weekly until the pageant. He loves all her clothes and told her he could tell she knows her fashion!!!!! As soon as she models her beautiful outfits for the pageant, I'll post them!!!!!!!!!

 *also a few shots from last Sunday with Aunt Cutie and Lily---(of course, Katie bought Lily that outfit and we surprised her mommy by dressing her up in it for church on Sunday!). I think Lily is going to be like Aunt Cutie and Aunt Natalie---she LOVES clothes and when we put that outfit on her, she prissed /preened in front of Katie's mirror all morning!

To our Australian family especially............

:)

AS IF I didn't have enuff pix---well, here's some more! By the way, MOST people would not be interested in so many details of Kemp and Lily except a CERTAIN Australian family in Melbourne, Australia!  Yes, Kristy told me how much yall enjoy reading about your little nephew/grandson!......SO...........Ashley, Kristy and Karyn---these are ESPECIALLY for YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (can you believe how much Kemp has changed since you saw him in Feb??????????)

P.S. PLEASE COME SOON! PLEASE?!

BAG SHETTI

Let me tell you that the HORMEL SPAGHETTI was the hit today! Kemp, who is NOT a good eater, ate every bit of his spaghetti today and Lily, who is a GREAT eater, ate every smidgin of hers as well. Here's the proof! (I might just have to write MISTER HORMEL and tell him thanks for making something my grandson will EAT! hahahaha)

and the winner is.........

I should say the winners for today ARE:  SPAGHETTI /A TENT under the dining room chairs/ RUNNING around the den/ Singing songs! Yes, it was PLAY DAY at GranJan's today and both kids were running on 10000 percent energy! Laughing/giggling/singing/EATING SPAGHETTI/watching Barney/playing under the TENT/and an even occaisional  small "disagreement" among the 2 toddlers! I , of course, was ready with my camera for all the happy moments as well as some of the funny "fighting" moments as well!  AND I will save some more to load tomorrow as I'm doing this as Lily takes a nap .Nat came back to get Kemp, (after meeting a friend for lunch and dropping by to see Katie at Lara's), and by that time both toddlers were ready for a nap. Kemp started telling everyone (and EVERYTHING!) good-bye. "Good bye, GranJan"; "good bye Cats"; "Good bye LIL"; "Good bye chair"; "Good bye , book";" good bye toys"----- good bye!" hahahaha

P.S. the ibuprofen shot is just a joke. Actually , they DIDN'T cause GranJan to have a headache. Today anyway! HAHAHAHAHAHA

Kid Books I read over and over and OVER

* Be sure and CHECK OUT THE AUSSIE BOOKS!!!!!*

Here are just a tiny selection of  Kemp and Lily's favorite books! And their favorites of all? The Australian  123 and  Australian ABC book! It is great and the pictures of the children  in the book are so lifelike! I bought more books for the kids from Australia than anything else while there!!! ( love those by Mem Fox, too!) Especially loved finding those you can't find, here, in the  U.S.  I spent a couple of hundred dollars on books from OZ. The one called  FAIRY CHILD is precious (but a little old for them now) and one that is called MUMMY AND ME that I adore. Of course, one day these Australian books will be given Kemp's to read to HIS little ones (and he can say they were bought when he went to his daddy's homeland on his first trip to OZ!) .........Some of the books I get TIRED of reading I didn't make pictures of b/c   I have HIDDEN them under the couch b/c I'm so sick of them! hahahahahaha

GranJan and me (and Big T)!

We had Miss Lily (or "BELLE" as Big T calls her!) last night. She was so sweet and funny. Had a blast with her! Here she is in all her "little glory"! Of course, Katie and I gave her a crash course on all the Disney Princesses and she knows each one by name and which one is which! (a true princess KNOWS a princess! HA!)

Fairy Tales

Katie and I had so much fun dressing up our little fairy princess today! She looked every part of a royal  FAIRY Princess Lily! I made lots more but I'm saving a few as some surprises! ADORABLE is all I can say!.We had to make a special one of Aunt CUTIE and Lily together for the program book for Miss USA/ALABAMA contest Aunt Cutie will be participating in soon! (I hope we can make some of KATIE in a crown then!!!!!!!)............Little Princess is right this moment sleeping in the Royal Chamber (my master bedroom) so can't stay on long! Just be checking back for pictures of  HRH Fairy Princess LILY ............!
