Sometimes, I forget she is 6.
I don't know why, since it seems like yesterday that I had her... 9 lbs, 2 oz. Such a big baby... holding her head up on the night of her birth... I still remember the crinkled face and chubby cheeks.
Then I look at her... in pictures like the one here... and wonder, "Where in the world did time go?"
My baby girl isn't much of a baby any more... in just about 4 months, she'll be 7... Before I know it, she'll be 17. ::sigh::
But anyways, isn't she gorgeous?
Just had to share - and brag :o)

Happy Birthday Hubby!

Well, today marks Derek's 28th birthday... So! Wish him a happy one!We aren't doing much in the celebration way... just the four of us hanging out at home.I had planned on the kids and I making dinner - Derek requested some Chicken Fetticin Alfredo and Garlic Cheese Bread.We are also going to make a birthday cake... a Fun-fetti one... as requested by the birthday boy! He loves that kind of cake :o)We are going to have a movie night... watching "Ironman" and chowing down on some popcorn and possibly having rootbeer floats!Derek's birthday isn't the only thing that will be taking place today. Our town is celebrating its Homecoming - the whole town shuts down and the high school and the pop warner teams take part of it.Well, since Rowan is cheerleading as a Mascot for the Varsity team, she has to ride on a float. So, in a bit, we'll start getting ready... which you know, takes time because she has to look like a little princess. Curled hair, makeup, the works!I hope to post some pictures later - possibly this afternoon or tomorrow. I'm sure there will be some cute ones :o)Have a great Friday ya'll.

So, This is Home?

I did a bit of looking around today... okay, just a few minutes really. But, I did notice that a lot of people from AOHELL have already started a new blog or are already in the midst of transfering them - like my dear friend Bridgett. Moving 5 years of journals... Really, it doesn't seem that Blogger is going to be that bad - they show updates on blogs you follow and give you the option to "decorate" your blog as you please... btw people, if anyone knows how to spiffy up my blog, please let me know!Hey, did you know that Blogger also "saves" your work as you go... so you can't lose it! AOHELL would randomly eat a journal entry every once in a while and there was no saving as you went. I think that's pretty awesome!Anyways, like I said... it won't be that bad. We are all still here...So, today is October 1st.Its unbelievable how quickly 2008 has flashed by. Really.In just a few months, we'll be ringing in the new year - 2009! Amazing.This month is going to be a busy one... which I don't mind... because busy means it goes by quickly... and the quicker it goes, the sooner December gets here... and the sooner December gets here, the sooner we go to Disneyland!!The Husband's birthday is this Friday... he's going to be a Big 28! We'll be celebrating quietly at home... with a home made dinner and cake by the kids and I... and possibly with a movie. I'm thinking "Ironman"! Sometimes, big bashes and lots of people isn't what is needed to celebrate a birthday :o)Of course, Friday day will be busy in itself! The Girl Child has a parade that she'll be in for the Homecoming celebration in town and then of course, cooking dinner and the cake!It will be a nice weekend... possibly with some rain! Hopefully it doesn't rain on Rowan's game on Saturday night though. That won't be too pleasant sitting in the wet!When ever I do figure out how to post pictures, I'll post some... 'cause I've got some pretty cute ones sitting on my computer!Alrighty... this is it for now!Have a great Hump Day!

Hello Blogger

Well Hello Blogger!It's so good to meet you.I would have rather met you on different terms... maybe when I choose to come to you... not when I was FORCED to come on over from AOL deleting our journals.I know I didn't journal as much as I had in the past or would have liked the last year or so there... but that didn't mean that I wanted to see it go.AOL Journals connected me to SO many of my friends... friends that are near and dear to my heart. Friends that I can't go one day with out talking to or I feel like I'm missing out on something.So, to the Uppity-Ups over at AOL... I salute you... not with a raised hand... but with a finger... and is not the thumb, pinky, ring or pointer!! I hope to keep up with as many people as possible over here on blogger - or what ever home they choose to go to. Anyways, this is obviously my first official post at The Pickle Jar on Blogger... I hope there will be more to come... and I hope I can figure out how to make it pretty and share pictures and all that jazz.Until then...
