"Purple, White, Purple, White..."
Otherwise it might be pretty boring and not make too much sense! :)
This morning I decided to take Phoebe's "Born To A Wildcat" picture. You know the one where you dress your child up in her free onesie from ACU and plop her down to take about 34 so you'll have one really, really good one to send to the alumni association in hopes that it will make the ACU Today? If you are an exceptional planner and/or you have a lot of friends with babies the same age as yours, you can get them together in their onesies and take the pictures. That makes you a shoo-in for the ACU Today. Unfortunately, I'm not either of those things so we just had to wing it on our good looks and talents. Fortunately, Phoebe has both in abundance. :) Here are just a sampling of pictures from our backyard this morning.
We were practicing our Wildcat hand sign. Apparently, we need to work on our fine motor skills.
She's quite the little ham when it comes to taking pictures and she just posed and posed and posed. I didn't have to encourage her at all! 
This one is my personal favorite, but it wasn't the one I sent.
This is the one I sent to the Alumni Assoc. We were yelling, "Go ACU!" It was very exciting!
About this time, Phoebe lost interest in posing for all my pictures and noticed the bubble machine that Eli had left outside yesterday. Now, she didn't know it was a bubble machine (I haven't been too great about getting out this summer...good intentions, right?) and it was sheer wonder when she pushed the button!
Now the onesie is covered with dirt from rolling around on the floor while Eli was in gymnastics and ketchup from Burger King. It will probably never be the same again. It's good I got so many pictures, huh?
**Update: I heard back from the Alumni Association and the picture that I sent was too fuzzy. (I'm very sad because it was the "cutest" one.) So I sent the first picture on this post...hopefully it's less fuzzy. If not, then I guess I'll proceed to take about 34 more pictures of Phoebe in the backyard when she gets up from nap. Surely the dirt and ketchup won't show up too much, right?!

We know exactly what you're talking about and we'll be looking for Phoebe in next ACU Today!! I've never actually seen a baby that I know in those pictures- maybe she'll be the first!!
Our "Born to Be a Wildcat" pictures have never been successful...we even planed a "group" shot with friends, which was horrible. I gave up our ACU Today dreams a long time ago.
Phoebe's pictures are greatness. Surely they will make the magazine!
She'll get in for sure!! She and my Autumn will be in the same class...how fun! Maybe they can love the red and white together too! :) Our kids are going to be brainwashed from a young age that they are going to go to ACU :)
These pics better make it into the ACU Today, they are by far the cutest I have seen!
I love her personality, except when she "snubs" me at restaurants!
Love ya!

your personal fav is mine too, that grin is tooo adorable!
I am a HORRIBLE mother. Both of my kids received a "Born to be a Wildcat" onesie, but that's as far as I got. Can you still send in a picture when they are 10? ha ha
Phoebe - you are a cutie patootie!!Maybe you and Rhett can hook up once you're at ACU...
I just want you to know that I COULD finish the sentence, I'm just fairly certain that it wouldn't be the right way! Do I win something if I get it right??
Pictures are very very cute though!
She is awesome! I can't help but laugh when I look at these pictures, she's just so sweet!

I have never seem such a beautiful happy little girl! She has to win!!! :-)

PRECIOUS!!! :)
Love the pics! We are currently waiting on our onesie...maybe Phoebe and the twins will be in the same issue. :)
I like #6 (your personal favorite) the best also. I think it could qualify as a Sing Song face. :)
Phoebe is a shoo-in for the ACU Today. She is absolutely precious!
Oh my, I could eat her up! Love the pictures.
This maybe helpful Jorden to you or others you know. Sue
