BIRTHDAY PARTY
We have lot's of pics from Adeline's birthday party. Thought we would share some with you.
On her actual birthday we gave her our present. Just in case you wondered what we got her... She got two fire-bellied toads; they are actually really sweet and both the girls love them (we were shocked to see Jennalee handle them).
Here is Lee Ann's amazing cake. Of course, she did this without anything other than her imagination -- notice the mint for the giraffe's eye! Adeline loves giraffes so Lee Ann did this for her.
She got a lot of help opening her presents!
Here are all the women of the party. It was nice to have all the family together in one place.

RAZORBACK PRACTICE
WARNING: this is a post about Razorback football and not about the Dunn girls.
My Dad and I went to the Razorback football practice this morning and I felt I just had tell everyone about it. We actually almost didn't even make it to the practice -- I almost backed out. The truth is I don't really like watching practice. They are usually endless drills and boring repetitions. And I told my dad that I was positive I would not really be able to decipher the New Era under Petrino by just watching drills.
We got to the practice around 9:15 am (this week is two-a-days) and my fears were realized. The various positions were doing their reps. This is why I quit even going to Houston Nutt's practices. But by 9:30, everything changed. They started scrimmaging, and scrimmaging, and scrimmaging. The practice broke up around 11:30 and there was practically no break from full-on football. I couldn't believe it!
They were knocking the snot out of each other! If a receiver fell catching a pass he had to get up and run with the ball. Running backs were lowering their heads and pounding the defense. And the defense was gang tackling and head-hunting. We were seeing true game-speed football. Several times the players would lag a bit getting up from a collision or getting back to the huddle, and the coaching staff would come unglued. They drove these guys harder than anything I had ever seen. Did I mention there was two full hours of this? This was a practice in front of about 30 people and yet it had the speed and intensity of the Red-White game with 50,00 people.
When I see the reports about practices I tend to get a lot of details about who did well and who did poorly. I didn't care about that. I was just overwhelmed at the sheer toughness of the whole system. Gone are the days of Nutt's yellow jerseys and mind-numbingly slow practices. I know we may not have all the talent in the world this year, but the truth is, this team may be one of the toughest teams we have seen in a very long time.
NOTE: I am not an analyst so my report was meant to give the big picture. And yet, Tyler Wilson is a really good quarterback. I thought he looked better than anyone else at the position (except for the ten magical minutes Ryan Mallet got to play). I would not be surprised if Wilson is the back up QB by the start of the season and even starting by the end. I know that is a big statement but I have nothing to lose - I had no reporting credibility to begin with.

Thus ends the Razorback talk and we can now resume the stuff about our little girlies.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Three years ago today, this little girl stormed into our life. At three months old she was louder than the other three of us put together. She is busy, wiggly, goofy, and sweet. This year she is getting pet frogs for her birthday!She cannot get enough physical touch. In her first weeks of life, she would go on three hour nursing binges. Even now she presses her face against our own or raises our shirt to put her cheek on our stomaches. Her affection is unmatched.
She LOVES to help Lee Ann cook - such that she cries on the nights when we have chicken nuggets or some other quick meal. Once Lee Ann starts to cook, Adeline will drag a chair to the kitchen counter and get to work.
She is the first to apologize, but she is also the first to need to. She is the sweetest little bull-in-a-china-closet God ever made.
She literally believes that it is her job in life to keep our whole family laughing, which she has consistently done for the past three years.
You mean so much to us, Adeline. Happy birthday sweet girl.
