Isn't she lovely

My beautiful sister went to Brighton's Homecoming this past weekend. She caught a cold the Friday before the dance, so for as yucky as she felt, she still pulled off looking great!


Her date's name was Josh he's a good buddy of hers, they had a blast!

Here's what gets me...when I was going to my Jr. Homecoming she had just turned seven (and it still feels like only yesterday), now she just went to her Jr. Homecoming so where does that leave me????

Feeling REALLY old...that's where I'm at!

Halloween Practice

So for those of you who know me, must know how much I LOVE Halloween! It is my favorite holiday, I love dressing up and planning and attending fun Halloween parties. In fact I love it so much I decided last year that our dog must participate in the fun festivities. So I bought him a costume too...he HATED it, after struggling for several minutes to get the costume on him. It was torn off in seconds making me very frustrated. He must get that from Andy, every year Andy has his costume off as soon as we take pictures...I just don't get it!

Oakley 'loved' his costume so much that he actually drug it outside last year and tried to bury it in the backyard. Digging up our newly planted grass. At least Andy hasn't tried to bury any of his costumes...yet. Well not one to give up easily I decided that he just needed to 'practice' wearing his costume so that by the time Halloween comes he will have no problem wearing his costume...

I was very proud of him, he wore it for almost 5 minutes. It was a great accomplishment, after a week of practicing he now keeps it on for a good 30 minutes. That's all I can ask for anyway. So now that this little experiment has seemed to go pretty well, Andy will be next. I'm going to get his costume this week and we will 'practice' wearing it. I figure if a dog can do it so can he!!!
Wish me luck!

Labor DAY

Wow so Labor day was a week ago, and I'm way behind on my blogging..last week just got away from me. So here's a quick re-cap of our fun filled weekend...

We started off by heading up to our family cabin on Saturday, then finishing off the night by going to a Rodeo...that was so much fun!

Sunday we relaxed and drove up to Smith and Moorehouse so that Andy could throw rocks in the lake...yes he really wanted to do this BADLY!



We drove home that night and got up early Monday to start off our 'no work' Monday. After a quick trip to the mall in search of the perfect Halloween costume we met up with Andy's family for a fun afternoon at Classic Skating...I know sounds a little ghetto but it was a blast!



Andy zipped around with Bo on his skates...



While Marcus soared around with Nash on the scooter...



Us pregnant ladies had to sit out, but we had a great time talking! I love talking with Heidi, she always knows how to make me laugh!!!



Finishing up the day with the "Chicken Dance!"
Then we met up with everyone at Olive Garden for some much needed dinner.
It was a great day! I was so tired by the time I got home, I feel asleep on the couch within seconds of sitting down.
