HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL!!!!

Colorful Necklace / Cute girl!

Lately I am into making necklaces and bracelets. My good friend Brianne was making these adorable necklaces and I thought it would be fun to try. So when it was my moms Birthday, I decided to make my first necklace and I was immediately hooked. It was easy and very fun to create the style and colors that I wanted.
Below Jillian is wearing my most detailed one yet. I am sure as time goes on I won't be making so many but for now I am having fun letting my creative juices flow.

Check out the necklaces below!

Necklace fun!!

Here are the awesome necklaces!!! I am excited now to make necklaces to match my outfits.
Thanks to my awesome, creative friend who showed me the way!

10 year Anniversary!!!!

Today is our 10th Anniversary!!! I cannot believe it! Where has the time gone?
I am so grateful for my husband and for all he does and has done for me and our family.
He was very sweet and brought home beautiful roses.
Heres to many more years ahead!

Wagon Fun!

I decided to take advantage of our great weather we are having and take the boys outside for some play time.

Bradley wanted to pull Baden in the wagon. Baden is holding on for dear life.

Bradley now officially tired, so mommy got a turn pulling the boys.

What handsome boys!

My Silver Belt!!

I needed to go to the store late Saturday night to get food. Well, I decided to stop at Ross first and this is what I came out with.
I got a pencil skirt, a blue top with a silver belt, and adorable sparkly shoes.
This is a big deal because I have not bought new dress shoes since before Jillian was born. I guess you could say I was sick of looking frumpy.
Bill loved the look and called my belt the European techno look. Jillian was also quite taken with the look.

Jillian took this picture. Not bad for a 5 year old.

Jog a thon

Jillian had her first Jog-a-thon at school today and she was so cute. She took off like a bullet passing a load of kids only to find out by the 2ND lap she was tired and felt kind of sick (I guess mom should have given her a lesson on pacing her self). I am proud of her though! Despite feeling yucky she kept going. I told her to just walk and she completed 8 laps. Jillian was really after only one thing and that was the prize at the end of the run: THE POPSICLE.

Way to go Jillian!!!

Valentines!!!

Doesn't Jillian look cute!
Jillian laid out her clothes the night before her Valentine party and said " I am going to look so pretty tomorrow."

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Today is my moms birthday and she looks awesome!! When I am her age I hope I look as good as she does. She runs more than I do now. She is full of energy and life! I am so grateful for her example and attitude. She inspires alot of people and she inspires me!

Happy Birthday MOM!

Long time no blog!

I am here but I have not blogged in forever. Life is crazy but I guess a little boring. So I don't feel like I have anything to blog about. The boys have been sick and I felt kind of yucky today.
Jillian is doing awesome in school and I am so proud of her.
I wish I had something profound to say but I don't.
