Christmas in July Dealz
How I Display Photos
I just love these watercolors. They all represent a place we visited while in Paris.
Connor’s room:
Info on the airplane pictures from Etsy is HERE
This is probably my FAVORITE piece of art in our house. It’s an artist we saw on our honeymoon years ago. He’s in Eureka Springs Arkansas. Terence and I saw his art and love it, but didn’t purchase anything. Then later that year for Christmas his parents surprised us with this smoke drawing and it was so sweet!
The artist blows smoke through a tiny pipe onto paper and creates these amazing landscapes. It’s just smoke and paper! Amazing!
I tried to see if he was still doing artwork, and unfortunately because of health related issues he’s no longer doing his smoke art.
Another favorite piece is this abstract boat painting….it’s in our master bedroom! I got it for Terence after he got back from Iraq because I remembered how much he loved it!
Shake Yo’ Groove Thing!
Connor starts gymnastics tonight and I think he is ready! Ha Ha!
On our way to following up Justin Timberlake….he LOVES to dance!

Also I have set up a Facebook “official” page for this lil blog…it would be still my heart if you all would go “Like” it 🙂 Thank you so much!

New Rims & Other Stuff….
And what would a blog post be without some updated pictures of my boo boo! He’s growing up so fast and I have to say I love this age. He is SO much fun right now and he’s starting to speak full sentences, use the potty, he’s so grown up! I also signed him up for gymnastics classes starting tomorrow so we shall see how that goes 🙂

Chocolate Gravy is Good for the Soul
Connor was spoiled the entire weekend and got lots of loving from his Nana and Nannie Sue 🙂
Nannie cooked us a good dinner one night with fried taters, fried okra, fried squash, and home grown tomatoes (my favorite!). Oh how I miss that good cooking!
She also got up early one morning and made us a yummy breakfast that including another favorite chocolate gravy. If you don’t know what chocolate gravy is it’s probably a southern thing….but it’s the yummiest gravy and you just poor it over biscuits and gobble every bite!
Do you think Connor enjoyed it???
Nannie bought Connor some cars. A police car, ambulance, and fire truck….complete with siren noises. He’s been sleeping with them every night and taking them with him everywhere! I can’t tell you how many times during this week I’ve thought I was getting pulled over, only to realize it was Connor’s toy police car! Whew!!! ha ha!!!
