It really took everything I had not to laugh out loud so she wouldn't stop. Getting ready to head home soon...I wonder what the entertainment will be on the way home!
inspired me to create....
This is a lot cleaner and simpler than I normally do...but I think the flowers are so cute and they can steal the show with this card.
will turn the big 34
would love to make more time for family game nights....we all enjoy playing games, just have to make the time
will celebrate my 7th wedding anniversary
will learn to relax when life gives us challenges {don't take everything so seriously}
would like to make a better effort at getting more work for our machine shop...and work smoother with my hard working husband
will watch many, many soccer games and practices...
and many, many field hockey events
will celebrate birthdays with the girls....Alexis - 5, Mikayla - 8, Casey - 12, Sam - 14
will play outdoors more with the girls and take lots of photos
this is a big one....I will organize my life! I want to go through the house room by room, de-clutter, and reorganize. Spice it up, make it look like my style....it's not going to be easy...it's going to take lots of time and late nights with little sleep....but I will feel so good in the end.
will complete more challenges and submissions...will get more gifts made...will get cards made ahead of time....will count my layouts for the year
take more photo sessions....get more models to give me practice
will make more time for Joe and I to be alone....have date nights....work at strengthening our relationship
make more sewing projects....more applique shirts....more accessories for the girls...maybe teach Mikayla to sew more than a straight line
stay active in my church....monthly breakfasts...teach sunday school...attend weekly service....maybe start a bible study
And a family laugh....
And one with all of us on the photo....
My aunt Amy and Woody were up from Delaware for the wedding.
While the wedding party took pictures, the guests enjoyed the museum attractions, hors d'oeuvres, and drinks. And look what was on display in the museum while we were there.....It's Herbie the Love Bug!
I would drive this station wagon....
Joe thinks this would be perfect for our family....
I'd go cruising in this beauty....makes me want to go to a drive in theater.
And here is the reception area....what a cool backdrop for our party!
Alexis cutting some moves on the dance floor...
For the dollar dance, Mikayla wanted to dance with Lora....
And the girls had to open their goody bags....
another stuffed animal...... 
Samantha and Casey were at their mother's for this weekend. Casey wanted to be picked up to join us, but Sam was feeling too old for the event. {Oh, we are so thrilled that she's the great 13!}
look at those eyes {of course they are not looking at the camera}....
After the tree was on the wagon, Alexis was "helping" to bring the tree back....we couldn't have done it with out her.
The guys should the kids how they shake the tree, drill the center hole in the bottom, and wrap it up for traveling. The kids were curious and it kept their attention. She looks so stylish and cool in this photo.
And then of course they enjoyed hot choc. and cookies. Alexis was very upset that she left her cookie to go to the bathroom and one of the other girls accidentally finished Alexis' cookie. Alexis was so funny, she went over to the girl and said "you ate my cookie", but she wasn't mean or yelling. Guess you had to be there, lol.
* I'm not ready for Christmas....not with gifts, not mentally, just not ready
