Cassie's sense of style

I have been trying to let Cassie have a little more say in what she is going to wear. Here are the attempts at it.

We were going to run to Chick-fil-a to pick up some food on Good Friday. This is the outfit she picked out. Shirt, pants and glove.

I do feel the one glove adds to the outfit. Oh it was not cold on this day.

This was last Wednesday. Her school wanted the kids to wear green for Earth Day. I picked the outfit and had nice silver sandels to wear but Oma just bought her these shoes and she wanted to wear them. I could not talk her out of them.


Only a two year old could get away with this color combination.

These last pictures I took because she just got her hair cut today. This was her first professional haircut. I had just been trimming it but she needed a better job than I could do. Leah did a wonderful job.

I wanted to take a picture of Leah actually cutting it but Cassie needed me to hold her hand because it is tramatic getting your hair cut. Charles says she looks like a little person now.

This last one is her playing with her jump rope. She has wanted one so bad that I got her one at the store. It is her new favorite toy.

Easter

So we had a good Easter. First I would like to show Cassie photography skills. I helped her a little bit but this is the picture she took of daddy. He has a hard time just smiling plus he was trying to make her laugh.
















Ok now on to Easter pictures. We went to her Oma's and Granddad's house Saturday night for her to find eggs. We had to do it inside because it was storming outside. At this time Cassie has never gotten to find eggs outside because of the weather. I only got one picture because I was filming the hunt on the camcorder.










Here is Cassie in her Easter dress. It looks like I taped her to the wall but that is how she posed.











She finally got to hunt Easter eggs outside. It was very windy but she had so much fun. That is her Papa Fry trying to get pictures also.









Every time she found an egg she would scream, "I found an egg." She loves finding things so she was in heaven finding all these eggs.










Here she is opening her eggs. Charles and I put Cheez Its, Pretzels and Goldfish in them. The candy they have in the stores is just to big for her and she loves cracker like food.











She got the egg with the Cheez Its and is making sure it is okay to eat. We may have put broccoli in there.

Cassie being Cassie

So here are some pictures of Cassie having fun being Cassie. I can't wait to take some pictures in her new summer clothes. They are so cute.

Here is Cassie playing Rock Band with Daddy. Drums are her fav and daddy will never stop her from playing them. Cassie is so cool in her sunglasses.

She loves going to the park, she would go everyday if I let her.

Next we went to the mall because it is a different slide, but she likes to go down them on her stomach.

She is wearing her sunglasses like momma. Always remember that your child watches everything that you do.

Henry 1999-2009

Henry went to kitty heaven this morning. I got him in '99 when I moved into my apartment in Lubbock. I wanted to name him Bob because I love the name Bob but Amanda said his name should be Henry because he looked like an English gentleman. He was so small, he fit in the palm of my hand. He loved sleeping in bed with me, right next to me on the other pillow like he was human. When I got married to Charles he would crawl between us and push Charles out of bed because that was his place. He has been through so much with me. A number of boyfriends and then finally Charles. I moved him so many times and it never fazed him. He always just went with the flow. I had Cassie and he was never mean to her. When she first started walking, she would grab his tail and he would pull her around the house. She could hit or pull his fur and he just laid there and took it. He hated Charles so much and the feeling was mutual. It was actually kinda funny. I am going to miss him so much. I will always remember him and how he always wanted to lay right on top of me even though he was 22 pounds of muscle. I love you Henry and you will always be my baby.

Henry

OK so I have to make a big decision. After I paid out the nose to have 8 of my cats teeth pulled, the vet told me he has feline diabetes. So I looked it up online to see what I was going to have to deal with. First I have to have him tested again since they tested him during his surgery. That is around $100 for the testing. Then there will be insulin that I have to give him everyday. That is $50 a bottle. The bottle could last up to 3 months but until they get him regulated I will keep having to buy bottles at $50 a pop. Then I have to buy a blood checker for $50 plus strips so that I can test him everyday. Then lastly I have to buy special food and I have no idea how much that is. Can I do this, can I pull money out of places I don't have? Can I deal with a two year old and a sick cat? What if I have another child? But can I put him down, do I have the strength to put my baby who I have had since he was six weeks old down? Every time I think about it I start to cry. I have prayed about this but I still don't have a clear answer. Pet lovers are going to be the only ones who understand what I am going through. If you are reading this and are a praying person, please pray that I will know what to do. I am making myself sick over this and need to make a decision soon.

Coca Cola

If you know me at all you know I love Coke. I drink at least two a day but most the times it is three. My first one is usually around 9:00 am, then if I am done with the morning one I have one with lunch. Most days I can then wait till dinner to have my last one but on bad days I have to get one around 3:00 pm. I do try to keep the habit around 4. Well the last couple of days I have decided I drink too many cokes and am going to try to cut back. Today was my first day. My first coke of the day was opened at 1:41 pm. That is really good for me. Of course the minute I opened the can and drank a gulp I thought, there are so many other things I could be addicted to. Drugs, cigarettes, etc. All I am addicted to is a drink. My mom was like me, I am don't think she drank as many as I do but she had a coke first thing in the morning. Well she got really lucky and got an awful stomach virus and didn't drink cokes for like two weeks. Well by the time she got over the virus, she decided that she went this long, she might as well just quit all together. Well, I need a bad stomach virus, because I think that is the only way I could truly quit. So day one: first coke was at 1:41pm. Tomorrow I am going to try to go all the way till dinner. I want to be healthy and drink more water so after this coke is done, I am going to go drink a glass of water. If you are reading this and are a praying person, pray that Kara has the willpower to quit drinking cokes. Now I am off to finish my wonderful, thirst quinching, burns while drinking coke. I will miss you my friend.
