Happy Halloween!

Here's to one of the best Holidays of the whole year!

The beach does the soul good!

Bryce, otherwise known as Captain Fun! We all sat on the beach and slept while Bryce entertained the kids, he even made a Sponge Bob Bikini Bottom sand castle!

Poor,poor, pregnant Lori! She was so sick, but still managed to have fun!


So the best Mom in the world decided to take my family and my sister's family to the beach! She was such a trooper dealing with all of our kids! Thanks Mom, we love you!

It's never fun when you get destroyed by a wave....sorry Drew!



Ahhhh, it just wouldn't be the beach if you didn't have a least one person bury themselves in the sand! It kind of scares me to see the headless bodies!

BFF

I have a best friend, I love having a best friend, I hoped Libby would have a best friend! There's something about having a very best friend who will love you through thick and thin, even forgive you when you go on a date with the guy she liked! Little Miss Libby and little Miss Amanda are the best of friends and I hope they can continue this cute relationship!

Best Buddies!

When I dreamed of what Garrett's relationship would be like with his son, this is exactly how I hoped it would be! They are best buddies, he idolizes his dad, and Garrett idolizes his son! They share all of the same hobbies and passions.....football and junk food! They share the same gene pool(obviously), they are clones of each other, I love it!

Dollar Store Treasures!

Dollar store socks made into leggings, with flower embellishments! Did I mention these were only one dollar?

Day at Park!

There are those kids that come from Heaven with a spirit that overflows their little bodies, and this is one of those! I love this kid, he is sweet from head to toe!


....so you know that kid that makes you laugh no matter what he does, well this one is it! Trey is hilarious, and I mean hilarious!

I love Lucas because everytime we drive past "pumpkin land" he says with all of his innocence "f___inland because he can't say it any other way!


A day at the park with my little friends made a for happy day, but how could it be anything else?

A pair of shoes for every outfit!

Cut two slits in a cheap pair of shoes, and you can add any bows, flowers, broaches, etc. to create a one of a kind pair to match any outfit!

Boring to Original!

Embellish a boring leotard with various flowers and add a simple tutu...so easy!

Crafty Crafts!!!

Skirts made out of old quilting fabric, so easy and fun!

1st day of dance!!

This is Tessa's first year at dance! She is taking at Center Stage, and her teacher is Miss Kim....she's one of the best! Hopefully Tessa fairs better than me, I am the most utterly and completely uncoordinated person I know! I remember taking a street dancing aerobic class at the gym. The instructor of the class went around to all of the participants motivating them and then stopped at me and just shook his head in disappointment....I've moved on and decided this is not my strength in life, maybe in the next life!
