Monkey Teefs

Shameless Self Promotion

I usually don't write about myself here because I have my own blog where I can blather on but I had so much fun giving a shower for my friend Penny that I wanted to share the photos! It was a great night of food, Penny stories, and photo-taking. The shower was probably my most grown up party for both food and decor and I am really pleased with how everything turned out. I love giving parties!! Oh, and, never fear, there are a bunch of Autumn pics at the end of the album so feel free to skip past the decor photos.

Penny's Shower

:P And, in case you were wondering, I am available for your shower and small party needs for a small fee. Haha! Not really, but I'd consider it!

Father's Day

Father's Day weekend we went to Tuscaloosa to see Tyler's dedication.

Here's me and my friend Tyler at dinner Saturday night. Autumn wasn't overly pleased with me holding him. :) She went through a bad separation anxiety phase but it looks like that is finally passing.


Tyler's dedication on Sunday morning. This was the first time we'd heard the new pastor (well, "new" since he's been there a couple of years, I think) and we really enjoyed the sermon. He was also very, very nice.


Autumn and the men in her life.


Apparently, monkeys like sticking out their tongues at inappropriate times. lol.


The Colley Clan. Autumn, Boppa, and I are in the front. Mike is way in the back. In between from left to right are Mike's dad, Kyle, Lindsay, Leah, Tyler, Ryan, Lauren and Nanny and Mike's mom is peeking over Lauren's head from the back.

Autumn the Explorer

I lied. Father's Day is not next. :) Autumn has a couple of cabinets in the kitchen she's allowed to play in. I found her in one today and when I went to post the photo I took, I realized that I had a nice little collection of Autumn in and on things. Haha.

Playing "where's Autumn?" in the Magical Carseat Base of Safety. Autumn plays peekaboo ALL THE TIME. It's her favorite game.

Climbing the Pile of Cushions while papa vacuums.


Crawling in the Kitchen Cabinet of Happiness and Things that Clang.


Hee! >.<

Photo Dump

Wow, we've been bad. It's been a while! Here's a bunch of photos:

This is Autumn looking excruciatingly bored at one of Lindsay's showers. lol.


So seepy...


I don't know why, but I love this face.


The problem with showers is that they are usually right in the middle of nap time so Autumn gets really pitiful.




Father's Day stuff is up next!

Happy Loving Day

Loving Day is a yearly celebration of the Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court decision that made interracial marriages legal in the US. This is the 41st anniversary and without it, this wouldn't be possible, legally, at least:



Anyway, that photo is from Tuesday...my sister Valerie sang the national anthem at the Redbirds game and she was awesome!


My brother in law Justin, Valerie, and Donnie looking like a used car salesman.


Mike letting Autumn look precarious.


All in all, it was a super fun night! I didn't get photos of them but several people from the al-anon group some of my family goes to made it and so did Penny, Theresa who is a stylist at my mom's salon and her husband, Justin's parents, and, of course, my mom and grandmother. Penny got us some great box seats so we got a break from the heat. Yay for Penny!

Teef!

I wasn't going to post this here but it got such a positive response on my personal blog that I thought you guys might enjoy these photos, too.

Did I mention that Autumn finally got a tooth?


lol.



Christine made Autumn this gorgeous shirt for her birthday. I tried getting a good photo of Autumn in it but she decided to be a ham instead.



See the ziplock box in the background? That was her toy of the day.


She's done with posing--it's time to move on!
