The Lawrence Family: September 2010

Painting

My girl has really gotten into doing art. She loves to color and make pictures and we've totally been encouraging it. It's great fun, help her with creativity and keeps her away from wanting to watch the television! Can I get an Amen?!? I took her out to the garage while Daddy was doing some stuff and broke out the easel. She had so much fun with her smock and with her paints. it didn't take long for Zoe to tire of it, but at least she got to do it.

Dallas

I'm sure you're wondering what the title of this post is all about. Well, Dallas is the class dog (he's stuffed of course) for Zoe's class at McKendree. Each weekend someone gets to take him home and write in his journal about his adventures over the weekend. Of course, I had to whip out my camera and document his time with The Lawrence Family. We took Dallas home with us on the day it was "Bring a Friend to Dance Week" when Zoe took Shyla with her to her dance class. Anyway, we had a lot of fun with Dallas and I have to say that my journal entries were pretty funny. Bet you'll never guess that I actually tooks pictures, huh? Bwahahaha! Enjoy! By the way, if you click on the picture, it will enlarge so you can read the journal entries.

Baseball with Daddy

My girl loves to play baseball with her Daddy. Of course, she's really playing T-Ball but let's not get technical about it. She has such a good time with him and I'm proud to say that she has his eye for sure. Mommy played softball, but I couldn't hit the ball like she does. Daddy went to college playing baseball so he's teaching her everything he knows. I don't know if my prissy girl will actually ever play for a team, but at least she has fun with her Daddy and that's what matters!

Batter up! Notice the Pink Sparkly Shoes!

Bring a Friend to Dance Week

This past week was "Bring a Friend to Dance Week" at Hermitage Dance Academy. Zoe takes her dance class with her best friend, Meredith, but I knew she would enjoy taking Shyla. So, I got together with Julie and we scheduled it to make it happen. Let me just tell you that those girls had a ball. And you know that Zoe loves Shyla's baby brother, Seth, and actually named her baby doll after him. That doll used to be named "Beth".....do you think that doll is having an identity crisis? I digress.....

I took lots of photos and we actually went out to eat Mexican afterward for Zoe's first time. I was hoping she would be a trooper and try stuff because Shyla will eat just about anything. Let me just say that my girl isn't going to be trying Sushi anytime soon, but having Shyla actually helped us out a little bit. Zoe at least gave it a good effort and has discovered that she likes tacos and refried beans. Yum! Check out the photos......

Annual Trip to the Wilson County Fair

Every year we go to our local fair (The Wilson County Fair), which happens to be one of the top 10 fairs in the state. It's pretty awesome. Anyway, we usually get to go with The Cassidys, but they've been out of town so much here lately that I wasn't sure that was going to happen. Anyway, it worked out and we had a wonderful time.
