When we were home in Florida at the beginning of the month, we celebrated AG's birthday with family and friends. It was a month before her actual birthday but the only time we'd be home before then. Since I was throwing the party at my parents house, I decided on a theme that would be easy to execute away from home. Ice cream and sprinkles! What two year old doesn't love ice cream and sprinkles?!? I started planning the party about two months ago. Thankfully I found a lot of ideas on Pinterest. I had my mom start stocking up on sprinkles from Jo Ann Fabrics and Walmart. The more she could ... read more
Our Going Away Party
This past weekend our best friends threw us a going away party. It was such a sweet gesture. As soon as we arrived, we immediatly noticed the party was Texas themed. We had cowboy hats and lots of other props ready for us to use. All of the food came from our favorite BBQ place. And all of our friends were in their Texas gear, boots, hats and lots of plaid! Best of all, Jen made a DVD for us of the past 10 years of friendship. It was more than I ever expected. My heart was completely full that night. We both felt so ... read more
Cute as a Button Birthday {part two}
Thank you all for your sweet comments on the first part of AG's birthday post. Today, I am going to share all of the people pictures I have. I wish I would have hired a photographer for the party. There are so many pictures I wish I would have been able to take. Even though my mom took about 100 pictures, probably 3 weren't blurry. We're working on this....she says it's the camera. I beg to differ. Anyhow, here are some of my favorites of the ones we love from her big day. It's my PARTY! Singing happy birthday and getting ... read more

Indiana
Earlier this month I traveled to Indiana to visit one of my best friend's Brittney. She is the proud mommy of one of the cutest three year old I know (Kaidyn) and to her new bundle of joy, Keegan. I planned the trip to meet Keegan who was eight weeks old the day I arrived. I was also thrilled to be able to experience a bit of fall while I was there. I had hoped for a bit cooler weather, but I settled for the gorgeous changing leaves, warm days and cool nights. I was there Saturday through Monday. I definitely needed a little getaway and loved my time with the ... read more

Happy 4th!
Happy 4th of July! I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday. Our celebrations started out last night. We had some of our closest friends over for a BBQ. I planned all week from the food to the decorations and loved every minute of it. The night was a blast. Of course, I made way too much food and everyone was stuffed. We ate for hours, enjoyed too many beverages and jello shots, watched fireworks and finished the night off with games. The games were my favorite part of the night. Guys vs. Girls after 6 hours of eating and drinking made for some of the ... read more
