Even More Grown Up!

I know that I've emailed several of you this picture already, but I thought I'd share it with the rest of the blog world. Macy got her ears pierced on Tuesday night. She's been talking about it since we were at the beach. I had never had an age in my head that I thought was "old enough" to get it done...I just wanted her to be able to take care of them herself. She twists them all the time...I just help her put the medicine on them. She's so proud. Here she is sporting her new earrings:

She looks SO grown up in this picture!! Yikes!

We had a great time at the beach! Here are some of the pictures that I took. Have a great week!!

The Latest "Goings-On"

Well, we've had a busy few weeks around the Wallace household. With school coming to an end, we've had end of year programs and such. Also, Macy is playing UPWARD soccer again at church. She's really enjoying it, and getting better each game. I just thought I'd post a few pictures of what we've been up too lately! Here are a couple of my little soccer player:

Here are a couple from her kindergarten program. The first one is of her solo (she was also a "month of the year girl" which explains the February hat and the mega-heart on her shirt!) The second one if of her and Mrs. Mills, her wonderful teacher, when she got her graduation certificate!

And what post would be complete without a picture of Brady...well...just being Brady!!
My first reaction was terror, because I just KNEW he'd used a Sharpie! When I made him show me which marker he'd used, I was relieved enough to take a picture!!

Well, we're headed to the beach on Saturday after Macy's last soccer game. I'm sure there will be many, many pics to come after that trip! Some of you computer savvy people might have to give me a clue about slide shows...I've never taken the time to even try to do one! I'll be busy this week getting ready to go to the beach, so I probably won't post again until we get home. Please pray for our safety. Have a good week!

Aren't Y'all Sick of Looking at Sanjaya??

Well, I don't really have anything major to post about, but I know everyone who stumbles across this blog is getting sick of looking at Sanjaya!! So, I thought I'd post about the highs and lows of my past 2 days!

Is there anything worse than having to drop a bundle on your car?? If so, I'm not sure what it could be. Try this on for size....we've been having trouble with our trusty 1998 Honda Accord for a while now. Long story somewhat shorter...the dealership kept insiting that it was the tires making the noise that sounded something like a helicopter...but I just didn't see how that was possible. I insisted that someone ride with me..."Oh, yes ma'am...that's the tires. Sorry it's so loud, but there's nothing you can do but get new tires" (which we DID NOT need). I bugged them to check it out...insisting that I didn't think it was the tires, but they wouldn't budge. So, we dropped $350 on new tires at Sam's...drove out of Sam's parking lot....SAME LOUD NOISE!!!!!!! It's so loud that we can't hear each other talk...turn the radio up SO loud to even be able to make out the lyrics, etc....Well, I drove out of Sam's parking lot straight to the Honda dealership. I told them that we got new tires..."Oh, yes ma'am...that's the only thing you could do!" Then, I promptly informed him that it was making the EXACT SAME NOISE AS BEFORE! Here's what's ALMOST funny...he said, "Well, it must be something else, then!" YA THINK???????????? Oh, I was LIVID! Another guy rode with me, informed me that there was no doubt in his mind that it was a wheel barring (sp?) and that I don't even need to be driving the car. He said it was in the top 3 worst he'd ever heard. He couldn't believe that the other guy that rode with me before thought it was the tires. So, thank to their incompetance, I've been endangering my family EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS! I left the car, they said they'd fix it for $320-something and I said, "NOPE!" I informed them that since I'd taken their word for it, after practically begging them to try and look at other things besides the tires, and spent $350 on new tires, I no longer had $320 to spend! We argued, he didn't budge, I lost it, got Jarrod to call, he got them down to $147, and we're now done with the Honda dealership forever. But, we're riding in peace.

Now, from one of the worst afternoon's to one of the best. So, you all know by now that Tuesday is Nana day...the kids go after school and stay until bedtime with the in-laws. So, I have a long overdue gift certificate to the new Spa at the Shoals that Jarrod got me for my 30th birthday. Yesterday was the day! Check out the "relaxation room:"
My appointment was at 5, but I got there early to enjoy the relaxation room. Sat in the whirlpool for a while, read some of my book. Very nice. Then, the new man in my life....Tyrus. If I ever have the pleasure of getting another massage at the Spa, it will come from Tyrus. I had never had a massage there, so I just told them that it didn't matter who I saw. After it was over, she informed me that Tyrus was the most requested. I see why. It was great (though I'm quite sore today...I had some major knots in my neck, shoulders, and lower back....some of which probably developed the day before while dealing with the Honda people!!!

So, that's two days out of my life lately. I'm sure you're so glad you "tuned in!" I'll try to post sooner, and something that y'all might actually care about next time!!
