Yesterday was Father's Day, and Asthin had many surprises for Evin!
We went to the store the day before, and I told her she could pick anything out that she wanted to get for Evin's Father's Day present. She bought a spiderman lunchbox, a toolbox that she covered in stickers, and a baseball that she wrote "DAD" on. Evin of course teared up as soon as he opened his gift. Later that day when Evin was at work she realized that Evin didn't bring his new lunchbox with him!
She said, "Katy!! We have GOT to bring Daddy's lunch to him or he will be starving!!"
So we packed a lunch for Evin and brought him his new spiderman lunchbox to Dillards. She was SO PROUD!! :)

All grown up.

Last night, Kels moved into her new dorm. I had a paper to write and didn't finish in time to help her move in. I was bummed out, because believe it or not I really wanted to be there to help. When I called Momma to check how things were, we only talked briefly because Kelsey was calling on the other line. I hung up the phone and went back to my table in the coffee shop where I was studying.
Then it hit me. My little sister is all grown up.
I guess I have been so excited for her, and we've all been talking about her going to A&M for so long now, I just didn't realize it actually all happened. Just a couple of weeks ago she graduated from highschool, and tonight she is in a dorm at Texas A&M University.
I immediatley called Momma back. I couldn't even focus on talking to Momma though, because I wanted to know how to get to Kels's dorm right then. I packed up all my stuff, paper still not written, and drove to Kels's new dorm. Momma had told me that her new roomate has not moved in yet, and that she was there alone. I hated that! I just wanted to make sure she was ok...
I drove into the parking lot and saw Kels waiting for me. My little sister. My very best friend. Standing infront of her new college dorm. It was so awesome.
We hung out out for a couple of hours, and just sat and talked like we always do. (Also because her tv and internet are not hooked up yet. :) )
Any part of me that was worried about her was now gone. My little sister is such a strong young woman. I look up to her so much. I don't think any big sister could of been as proud of their little sister as I was last night.

Momma has told both of us our whole lives that she always loved every minute of us growing up. She told us to enjoy every part of our lives that God gives us, and to never look back. I remember this every day, and pray that Kelsey will as well. I am so excited for her!!! :)
I am so blessed that God gave me my best friend as my little sister.

Girls Time!

Baby Reece(Evin's neice),came over today to play. Ashtin decided that she would be the babysitter and let me know when I needed her help. :) They are TOO CUTE!!

Slinky the Spider.

Ashtin and I went to the mall today to visit Evin at work. On the way to the food court we stopped by a "hippy" store that Ashtin loves to go look at. They have hermit crabs, lava lamps, fun jewlery and rainforest animals. She immediatley went to the back where they keep the stuffed animals. There were beautiful pink and purple dolphins, butterflies, lady bugs, and tons of other GORGEOUS animals. I told her to pick one out that she liked, and what does she hold up? A blue spotted spider!! She was smiling ear to ear and said, "We have GOT to get this to scare daddy!"
If you don't know, Evin is TERRIFIED of spiders. So what did we do? We bought the "stuffed" spider, of course!! :) She has already made plans to "put it on his pillow" when he gets home from work.
I love this girl! :)

I am 22!!

Today was my birthday, and I had a WONDERFUL day!
All day long I got to spend time with my family and I loved every minute of it!!!!
Momma gave me a gift certificate for Riviera Day Spa, and I already used part of it. :) Evin gave me a dozen pink roses, and Ashtin gave me a "candy fan". (Which she searched for in her bedroom closet. :) ) Even though I appreciated the gifts more than anything, my day was so special because I spent it with my family.
I went over to Momma's and told Kelsey bye before she leaves for her trip. I can't believe that Kels will be at A&M when she gets back from her senior trip. I am so proud of her. I am so proud of US! I thank God everyday for Momma and Kels...
My day ended with Evin, Ashtin, and Tucker at Central Park. We had a BLAST!!! I am so thankful for every single person God put into my life.
