Little girls are so sweet. I had to sneak up on her like I was hunting or something...I LOVE THIS! The actual picture is her whole body and she is standing in her panties with socks to her knees. It is really cute.
Time for a change....

Lauren decided she needed a change.


I would have never said I like it if she had told me but after seeing it...I love it!

I am so sorry to my friends and family who read this. I have been so busy. I can't figure out why when all the kids are home in the summer it is so much easier to keep up with my blog.



OK This is the Reality check baby....She is a totally computerized very REALISTIC baby. Lauren is in a class that uses them. It smelled like a baby,felt like one and cried like one. At first it seemed way to easy so I decided she needed to pack up the stroller and head to the mall.
I was no way prepared for what would happen next. As she pushed the baby in the stroller I watched as people would try and peek in,stare, and give dirty looks. At one point when the baby was "crying" I watched women say to her face "how ridicules, did you see that girl with the baby?" I was getting so mad! This went on for about 2hrs and I just couldn't take it anymore. People were so rude to Lauren and her "baby". I even snapped at a lady who was rude to her.
We then left because I couldn't handle it and I could see Lauren getting upset.

I wondered what made people think it was her baby. How did they know it wasn't mine. Then I thought about how my parents must have felt to have a 16yr old pregnant child. I am sure they loved me anyways but how embarrassing.

I should add that not only was the baby life like you also had to support her neck. She has sensors that say how long she cried,why she cried and the teacher could control all the times it would happen. You had to feed her,rock and change her diapers. GREAT school project! I am all for that stuff.
On Sunday night Lauren was so ready to get rid of that baby. It woke her all night long.

Odds say that Lauren is at risk since she was born to a teenage mom but we will beat the odds! As a parent, you should talk to your teens about sex. Don’t sit back and think they will learn about it from their peers, as most are misinformed. As a parent it is your duty to educate your child, son or daughter, and help prevent teen pregnancy.

I will have a big celebration the day she turns 18! She will have beat the odds!

I think she is the reason I push my kids so hard. I want them all to succeed. I want them all to Graduate and go off to College and be successful and follow their dreams.
You could say I live through my children and I will agree with you. I push them to do the activities I was unable to do.

Educate your kids and don't be naive~!

Yesterday Lauren and I had a visit at Texas State University for Bobcat Day. Let me just say we had TONS of fun!
Originally we were supposed to get up at 3a.m to leave by 4 but for some reason I slept right on thru the alarm 3 times! Can you believe that? I can. So we started getting ready at 4 and ran out the door by 4:25. I was a little nervous because it was storming and nasty out. I will just tell you by the time we went thru downtown I was about ready to turn around and go home. We had a road detour that either of us knew a thing about and wondered what the heck we would do with a road closure that diverted us thru the 5Th ward in Houston. Yes you did see me put 5Th ward. I had no idea how to get to the correct road especially at 4a.m.
Lauren pulled out my phone and we relied on my navigation that has had me lost so many times!
4 hours later we made it! To our surprise it was a very crisp 44 degrease and we had no choice but to make a very fast stop and grab jackets.

We arrived at the campus without a second to spare. It was so beautiful! Right in the heart of San Marcos is this beautiful school with the river running by. I can not even begin to tell you how overwhelmed we both were after walking into the Student center. We didn't know what to expect and we soon learned we would be walking...a whole lot! We sat thru orientation and started laughing and just couldn't stop. I had tears in my eyes and started turning red. Our entire trip has been this way. So as the day went by we walked and walked from building to building. We could have taken the bus but we thought...who needs the bus when you can walk. After 4+ hours of touring,looking at dorms,up hill, down hill around the hill we were so worn out and just wanted to sit down.

We left the school without even seeing half of it but we "needed" to go eat at the Grist Mill.
At about 7:30 we decided to head home. For some reason it only took us 2 and a half hours to get home but it felt like hours! We were so tired,sore and worn out.

I think we had some really good bonding time. I hate to say but we didn't take any pictures at all. Why? Because I didn't want to haul around a camera. Yes I said that!

But just incase you have never seen this School I will add a few pictures.
