It was HAIR RAISING

Saturday afternoon we celebrated

Miss Farrah Jaye's 3rd Bithday!!

 I can not believe how fast this leap year baby has grown!

She is such a sweetie and a joy to be around.

My Uncle Alton and Aunt Rita borrowed the bouncy from the church and it was a huge hit.  Sophie Clare was way excited and jumped right in. Her hair made me laugh, it had so much static in it. haha

Isn't she just a doll??

I sure think so!!

Farrah Jaye's most favorite part of opening her gifts, were the cards that played music. She just loved them so much!!

It was so pretty out and the kids loved playing outside.

My little monkey!!

The 3 Girls

Friday afternoon my mom got to pick up the Emily and Gracie. I made the mistake of telling Sophie Clare that morning that the girls were coming. She asked all day about them. Finally we got down there and we all were excited to see each other. I wanted to get a a couple pics of the girls but talk about hard. lol

Emily was into aggervating me and not wanting to smile for me. She knew how bad I wanted her to. haha

Then she would smile so pretty for GRAN!!

 What a mess these girls are and oh how I love them so!

Sophie Clare and Gracie were to busy eating poporn to take a picture. so I had to get enjoying there popcorn!

I love the time we all get to spend together.

Happy Tuesday!!

Are you getting spoiled to the weather??

We sure are and when it eventually turns cold again, Sophie Clare is not going to very happy. We are embracing it all we can!  If you will notice, Sophie Clare has a boo boo on the side her her sweet face. :( 

She is independent and wanting to do it herself.

 We live in a home that is over 50 years old with the original steps. The top step is a little bit higher than any of the others.

I always try and get her to hold my hand but NO , she is a big girl. 

 She ended up falling and scratching her face but she was tuff and brushed it off.

She is feeling the Spring fever. She is wanting to dig every time we go outside. I can't wait to plant stuff with her this year. It is going to be so much fun.

She has always needed help going up the ladder until the passed few days. She can do it all by herself.

Where did my baby go??

Climbing ....

Do you need help??

No, she says.

I am a big girl, I've almost got it.

YAY!! I did it all by myself!!

Although it is sad for her to grow and brings tears to my eyes thinking about it. I love how happy she is when she is taking another stepping stone.

HOW MUCH

How Much Would You Pay To See Your Friends??

Well to me I just can't put a dollar amount on it.

I love to socialize as most of my girl and guy friends know. haha

The big question for out class reunion is

HOW MUCH??

Well for all that goes into planning a reunion, nothing comes cheap.

Although we feel we got a pretty good price and affordable for all.

$20.00 a person.

Plus the place is exclusive to us.

 I love that we as a class will have a place all to ourselves.

What will we have to eat?

A

sample menu

 might go something like this...............

veggies. fruits, breads, a couple of different hot appetizers, cold cuts, dessert,
Tea, water

We are not having a sit down dinner, we just want it to be fun and relaxing for all!!

Fun Times With Family

Yesterday was a family kind of day!

  We had invited Braden over to play for a while. Sophie Clare was beyond excited. She loves "BUBBA"  I love that Sophie Clare and Braden get along so well. While they played I swept the floors and changed the bedding on our bed.

Sophie Clare wanted me to make them a house to play in.

We ate lunch and played some more.

Ben came to get Braden so that Sophie Clare could take a nap. When we got up from that nap, we headed OUTSIDE to enjoy the SPRING like weather. We were not out there long before Janine and Braden came back to play.

Then we got a SPECIAL visit from 2 sweet girls.

Gracie and Emily

 We were very excited to see them.

I love my sweet "little" family!

They are so precious!!

REUNION in the WORKS



I am the class of 1996!! 

I have had some of the same friends since 1st grade and I love them all dearly!! 

We still try and get together to have dinner. Although it is hard between those that have children in sports, dating, and those of us that have little ones. I think a lot of my class and I am protective of them! They ALL mean a great deal to me in one way or another. I have great memories with many of my classmates. 

Since the beginning of LAST SUMMER,several of us tossed up ideas about what to do. 

Have families and there children?? 

Just the classmates and spouses?? 

Have 2 events?? 

Where to  host the event??

It is hard to know what to do!!

We decided that it would be best to just have an adult time!! many of us don't get the chance to get out without our children and who wants to try and catch up, chasing a little one. I knew from the start that MISS SOPHIE CLARE would be staying with her GRAN & POP.  

We called many facillities and Wills Creek Winery was the best of the best!!

It is held at Will Creek at the Mill!

The Vineyard.........So beautiful with a vineyard, pond and pavillion!

Excusive to us!!

I will be posting and updating on my blog as well as the website!
So be sure to check back!!
We hope you are as excited as we are!!



What Color Will You Choose

Refinery 29 is one of my favorite websites to keep ME updated with FASHION.

What's hott in nail color for SPRING?

Here is what I found. thanks to Refinery 29!

Back to Nature Nudes—Nude-as-naked nails look refreshingly demure, yet provocative.

 Make sure your polish comes in a high-gloss formula so you don't end up looking like you have mannequin hands.

Peachy-Keen Pink—Need a polish that'll make your tan shine? This is it, ladies.

Gun-Metal Grays—Don't forget about those metallics! Give your digits the full metal treatment with pearlescent polishes. The future is now!

Lovely in Lavender—Purple nails are our secret weapon. Dusty purples, saturated lavenders, and shiny heliotropes look great with most skin tones.

The Blues Clues—Whether it's Robin's Egg or Tiffany's Box, this pale blue shade has got "Spring" written all over it.

The Can't-Miss Topcoats—Give your polish an extra edge with a striking top coat that cracks over your color; one that adds a slick, holographic shimmer; or one that adds a gilded layer of nude shimmer.

 

I am loving the robins egg blue!!

What color will you try??

Happy Valentine's Day

We would like to wish you all a very

HAPPY

VALENTINE'S

DAY!!

Do you do anything special for V day??

Feel Good Weather

The Feel good weather is back this week. I am loving being outside and so is Sophie Clare. As soon as we got home from church, we changed our shoes and hit the door running.  Sophie Clare could not wait to get on her tricycle and go feed the dogs at Aunt Janines and Uncle Franks.

There are 4 big dogs in a pen and they are SO loud. All they do is bark, no matter how well they know us. It takes Sophie Clare a minuite to process there loudness. haha

The dog were excited about there bread we brought for them.

Janine built a potting shed simalar to my moms and Sophie Clare loves to play in both of them.

Hopefully Jamie will be building us one very soon!!

I love her so very much!!

We did not get to stay out as long as we all would have liked but someone (the girl in the red dress) was very sleepy!!

I hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day!
