Somethings Never Change....

My Friendship with Amanda is one of them!!! From the day we met we have been the greatest friends....smiles, laughs, wine, tears, babies and oh so much more! We had playdate with the kiddos and they just add to our story!!! Amazing friendships, make amazing memories!
all the kiddos wanted to sit on Amanda at dinner!

Eva B in her hoodie!! love it!

Getting the three of them to smile and pose for a picture was impossible!! So we take what we can get!

I hope CC and Eva will be great friends as they grow up!

Captures it all!!! Had so much fun!

College Girl

LOVE LOVE this picture.....sweet innocent little girl looking out over the campus!!!
Claire loves "college"....here is a turkey asking people to write things they are thankful for on the poster...just random things like this that make college so memorable!


On Top of the HILL....this is the parking deck I parked in when I lived off campus, the parking pass my parents bought me was probably one of my most priced possessions!!

Walked this sidewalk nearly everyday.....Business school is on the opposite side of the campus as the Chi Omega house

Silly "college" girl!!

Picture by Momma's name (wouldn't sit still by her daddy's)...proof I graduated!! Ha!

Then CC decided to do some college girl poses.....Hilarious!!!

We looked at all the composite pictures at the Chi O house and Claire decided she needed to lean against the tree like the college girls....

Mimi and Claire....poses like college girls!!!

And guess what...college girls wear backpacks....so who wanted their backpack??? LOVE IT!!!

Aunt Memee holding the college girls hand

Playing at the Chi Omega Greek Theatre

She wanted to sing on stage!!!

Just Playin Around....

My grandparents sponsored this room in the new business school building and so we took Annabel and Claire to take a picture to show my grandparents...it would make them happy they visited!

It was an absolutely beautiful day on campus!

Hugs!!!

Chi Chi House

Oh, the stories these walls could tell if they could talk!! Marvelous memories!!! My Mom lived here and Emily and I both lived here. Aunt Biz was a Chi O at UALR. So Annabel and Claire have quiet the legancy along with great aunts too!! Claire made her first visit to the Chi Omega House at the UofA...or as CC calls it "college". She is all about college girls and everything about college. I am not sure if I told this story but a few weeks ago when we visited Annabel we drove through the UofA and I told CC that is where we went to college and she said where was I while you were at college and I said you were with God and she said Well, Momma I missed you while you were in college...implying maybe I was not "with God" during that time. It was quiet funny!!! and I guess sad at the same time.
Claire also calls it the "Chi Chi House"

Knocking on the door...

I hope one day she calls this "home"!

I think these were some homecoming decorations left over from the week before

Sitting on the lawn.....

She got Aunt Biz to join her...

Two Future Chi Omegas

Momma and her girl!!! She looks so big to me!!

Kiss for Mom!

All the girls that live in the house sign there dressers...I went to my old room...and look what I found! Such great times!!!

Claire can sing the Chi O chant...Chi Omega Chi Chi Omega....only it comes out more like...Chi O Meka Chi Chi O Meka!!! It is super cute!!

School Pictures

Claire's Pre-School One School pictures! I was so happy with them! The above picture is her "laughing" smile. The one below is her "sweet" smile!! Both make my heart smile!!!

Woo Pig Sooie!

Nick took CC to her second HOG game...she was a little sick...but she still learned how to call those HOGS!!! It sounds like "Woo Pig Zoe"!!! Too Cute!!!

She was living it up in a box at the Razorback Game a few weeks ago!!! She visited this same box for the first time when she was only a couple weeks old. I bet she enjoyed it a little more this time!
