BFF'S

THIS IS JOSIE AND HER BEST FRIEND SYDNEY! MOST OF YOU ALL KNOW SYDNEYS MOTHER WAS A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE AND PASSED AWAY LAST SUMMER FROM CANCER. SHE IS GREATLY GREATLY MISSED! SYDNEY HAS SINCE THEN MOVED TO OPIE AND LIVES WITH HER DAD, HOWEVER HER GRANDPARENTS LIVE A FEW BLOCKS FROM US, SO THE GIRLS HAVE STILL STAYED IN CONTACT. THEY GET TO HAVE A FEW PLAYDATES EVERY NOW AND THEN. LAST NIGHT THEY SPENT THE NIGHT AT SYDNEYS AND PLAYED 80'S GIRLS...YUP MY CHILD...GO FIGURE! THEY HAD COOL CLOTHES, MAKEUP, AND OF COURSE BIG HAIR! JOSIE TOLD ME SHE LOOKED LIKE HER MOM! HA HA HA HA! WHEN YOU GET THESE TWO TOGETHER IT IS HARD TO GET THEM APART, THEY HAVE SUCH A GOOD TIME!

MY HAIRCUT

OK SO I DONT TAKE GREAT PICTURES! THAT IS WHY YOU DONT SEE ME IN VERY MANY I WOULD RATHER BE THE ONE TAKING THE PICTURE... I GOT UPSET THE OTHER NIGHT I WAS SUPPOSE TO GET MY HAIRCUT AND WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT, CAUSE OF KIDS GETTING PICKED UP SO I WAS MAD. I STARTED CUTTING....IT ACTUALLY TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD I THINK. I CURLED IT HAIR AND FIXED IT AND IT LOOKED GREAT UNTIL I WENT TO TAKE THE PICTURE AND THEN THE HUMIDTY GOT ME...AS USUAL. ONE OF THE FEW DOWNFALLS OF LIVING IN EASTERN KANSAS..THE HUMIDITY! BUT I REALLY LIKE IT AND GUESS WHAT MOM, IT CAN NOT FIT IN A PONY TAIL, SO I HAVE TO FIX IT EVERYDAY!!!! YEAH!!!

WATER WATER EVERYWHERE THERE WAS WATER!

THERE WAS WATER EVERYWHERE, EXCEPT MY BASEMENT....YEAH! THE BRIDGE IS A LITTLE FISHING BRIDGE NEAR THE MAIN BRIDGE. I WAS ACTUALLY STANDING ON THE MAIN BRIDGE TAKING THE PICTURE, IT WAS OF COURSE CLOSED. THE WATER WAS ALMOST TO IT ALSO. THE PICTURE OF JOE AND JOSIE WAS TAKEN ON A DIRT ROAD NEAR THE RIVER... THERE WAS SEVERAL ROADS LIKE THIS ALL OVER... CRAZY HUH! PRETTY EXCITED FOR A GIRL FROM SW KANSAS WHO HAS SEEN DRY RIVER BEDS ALMOST HER INTIRE LIFE!!!

VIDEO OF JOSIE GOING TO BED!

JOSIE HAS ALWAYS HAD US LAUGHING WHEN SHE FALLS ASLEEP AND YOU TRY TO WAKE HER TO MOVE HER. THERE IS NO WAY I CAN CARRY JOSIE ANYMORE SHE IS TO BIG FOR ME TO DO THAT. THIS VIDEO WAS NOT THE FUNNIEST BUT I DID NOT HAVE THE CAMERA WHEN SHE DID SOME OF THE OTHERS. ONE NIGHT I TRIED TO GET HER TO GO TO BED AND SHE WENT INTO THE KITCHEN AND TRIED TO GET IN THE CABINETS AND LAY DOWN. SO IT IS VERY FUNNY....THANK GOODNESS SHE NEVER JUST GETS UP AND SLEEP WALKS, ONLY WHEN YOU TRY TO WAKE HER. ENJOY! SHE IS SO THRILLED WE EVEN TAPED IT.
