Mya's !st Birthday

 Here is a fun 1st birthday party that we were invited to. Such a wonderful day to share with friends! Good times and lots of lauging for sure. Enjoy!

Pink and Black Paris themed birthday Party

I am room mom for my son's third grade class. Our teacher's birthday is this month and I thought it would be fun to do a little Paris party. I ordered these from Kims custom creations over at Etsy she designs all my things for me. These are going to be used for cupcake toppers. I love the way they came out!  If anyone is doing a similar design I have some files I am able to send you. Just email me and I will be glad to share with you! Merci'

Snow Days Are Snow Fun!

Hunny and I

Every year we enjoy going to the snow and playing. We decided to go up during Christmas break which was very crazy since it was extremely crowded. Luckily I work with someone who lives up there and told us the back way. We found an awesome location and had the best time sledding and throwing snowball at each other. It was about 28 degrees that day chilly , but the sun felt nice on your face. Daryl even made us hot chocolate to warm our insides. We will go back this time to ski and snowboard or shall I say attempt these things. It has been a long time so I am not sure if we will pick up where we left off or not.

All I want for Christmas....2010

Here are my two favorite Gifts!!!

I love presents!

Love my Jammies!

This Christmas was wonderful. We enjoyed every moment of it with our family and friends. We had Christmas Eve at my grandma and grandpa's house. We always take photos and mess around outside the kids and I. Then we stayed at our home on Christmas and visited with all the neighbors and their families. What was so funny is that all the neighbors had tri-tip for their dinner. Our cul-de-sac was packed with fun times. The day after my aunt and cousin came out and we went to Victoria Gardens with my sister and the boys. Of course no trip there is complete unless you eat at the
Cheesecake Factory!

My favorite Aunt!

This Thanksgiving we had a lot to be thankful for...... We have such wonderful friends who are like our family and a wonderful family who are our friends. We cherish what we have and truly enjoy the holidays. My sister got to fly down to be with us this Thanksgiving and it was great. We went and stayed with my mom and dad, since Daryl's mom is in the hospital. He was a great son and spent the Thanksgiving holiday with her and brought her food in the hospital. The boys and I had a relaxing time out at my parents place. I love taking photos at their house so scenic there.Well Christmas will be here before we know so I better get a move on it....

The Great Pumpkin!

Can't wait for Trick or Treat!

Brandon is getting ready to turn 1. He is so excited to be able to move around and climb on everything. He loves to sit outside with his pumpkins and roll them all over the place.
