Tessia update

My Tessia will be 16 in one month!!!

Re-Decorating

I have recently re-decorated my living room with a new

leather sofa by Bassett....a couple of new lamps....a new

area rug....and new side table. The side table had a piece

of glass in the center, which I did not like. Tessia had the

brilliant idea of cutting a piece of leather to replace it...and

I love how it turned out!

I have also updated my bedroom with new linens, a new area rug, and some new art (painted by none other than me!) :)

Being a Kid Again.......

I took Tessia and her friend, Jordan, to Fort Smith
last night. They went to the mall while I went to
Big Lots.
When it came time for supper....they decided
they wanted "to be kids again" and go to
Chuckie Cheese Pizza!! LOL!!


This is Jordan and Tessia with their Purple
Princess Cups!



They each got 25 tokens with the pizza and
they played a lot of games.


Their other friend, Mok, showed up...and
they all got together and had a blast.

Today, Tessia, Nikki, and I went to Rogers, Arkansas and shopped at Pinnacle Hills Promenade .

We absolutely love this place.

Which looks the best?

Brunette Tessia or Blonde Tessia

My Kid

This is a photo of Tessia taken just
last night. I don't know why, but her
hair looks brunette in this pic. She
recently had another process on it
to make it more blonde...and it is
really, really blonde in person.
Frankly, I prefer her natural color.

In this pic, you can tell how blonde it is.
It was taken at school during "say no to drugs"

week....when they dressed up each day....this

was the "celebrity day"....and she was dressed

up as Paris Hilton! LOL

This was "decade day" when they had

to choose a decade and dress in the style

of the times....she chose the 60's.

Deep Thoughts

I've been reading THE SECRET by Rhonda Byrne.

Very interesting.

Fascinating, actually.

"Your thoughts create your reality"...basically.

Hummm.

"The Power of Positive Thinking"

Yes, that is good.

However,

The Secret does not supercede The One.

The Power of Prayer - Yes! Now there is

a secret worth sharing!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Tessia is 4 years old in this photo; it
is one of my favorites.
