I haven't posted in such a long time, I thought this would be a nice addition! Photo taken by Quinn at Matt & April's wedding! Sept 2013

Sweeps Success!

So, I'm one of those people who plays the sweeps online. You know, a company will offer a limited time chance to win prizes. I've had some success in the past winning coupons and such, but this time, I was shocked to win an F/X Lightsaber!! How fun!!

Shutterfly Holiday Card Party

I won another HouseParty from houseparty.com! This time, we learned how to upload photos to make Christmas cards thru shutterfly.com. It was a lot of fun!

Karen, checking out some of the photobooks I've made thru Shutterfly!

Our little training session together. Photo credit: Tracie!

My mom, perusing all the goodies.

My sister, loving all the party fun! :)

Tracie perusing the Shutterfly site to see all the Christmas card options. (I'm calling it CHRISTmas, people!)

Yummy snacks always make a party even better, right?

Thanks to everyone who attended and to Shutterfly & HouseParty for providing some free goodies to them and all those far away, too.

My little display!

Maggie Turns Eight (yes, EIGHT!)

My little girl wanted a ninja party! You see, there is this Honda commercial with a girl ninja and she loved it. So, we bought some material at Joann's, put no fray on it, and made some ninja masks for all her little ninja buddies (oh, and Dad, Uncle Kevin & Aunt Jackie, too!).

My sweet little eight year old ninja chick!

Maggie with her pinata, in her favorite tee shirt!

Sewing

My mom decided to teach Maggie to sew (since she figured out that I was a hopeless case, ha!). Maggie loved pushing that foot pedal!

Here they are with the finished doll dress they made for Maggie's American Girl. They had a great time!

Soccer Camp v.2011

Soccer camp is always a summer favorite in our house. They are really enjoying their week!

This is Luke's 4th year, I think.

And, Maggie's 3rd!

Showing coach she's got game! HA!

Christina's Card Shower

Through a joint effort between myself, my family & Aunt Jessica, we put together a 'card' shower for Christina & Quentin's new bundle of joy. I was excited & blessed by the response and those who even helped out! Thank you everyone!

A loaded box to celebrate baby Smith!! :)
