Bride to Be

My sister's bridal shower.

The theme of the shower was Prince Charming (that's what she calls her fiance). Everything was pink and white. There were glass slippers filled with pink and white M&M. When wrapping my sister's gift I completely forgot about the tradition of taking the ribbons and bows to make a mock bridal bouquet. I wish I would have remebered and made a fabulous bow for it. She is so happy and in love it is contagious. Only 26 days to go!!

Party

This picture cracks me up! It's my 2 sisters, their husbands and our sweet dog Angus. More to come on the anniversary party I just need to get the pictures organized first.

11 Years!

Today is my 11 year wedding anniversary. Usually we keep it mellow...just go out for dinner the 2 of us. However this year we decided to renew our vows and have a party!! I am really excited that our friends and family get to share in the happiness. I am so lucky to have married such a wonderful guy who loves me for who I am. He accepts my faults yet brings out the best in me.

Also this weekend is my older sister's bridal shower! Love is in the air! P.S These pictures make me miss my bangs!

Yesterday

Yesterday we had lunch at the coast. It was a beautiful Friday and I just couldn't stop myself from sharing this picture. Today is another bright and sunny day but I think we will wait till the crowds leave the beach before we head to the beach.

I took a fat quarter cut it 4 inches wide and stuffed it with 3/4" wooden balls.
When I woke up this morning I knew I wanted to sew something. I knew I wouldn't have much time to myself. However I really wanted to make something today. I made a nifty bracelet. Its really all I had time for today.
Here is FW 1st sewing class! He really enjoyed it. I had him make a coaster to get the feel of the sewing machine. Also taught him a few sewing terms. I need to find some "manly" and basic patterns for him.

Proud Mama Hen...

Yesterday was a great day FW graduated elementary school.

All my Sista represent!

I love my sisters they are all so gorgeous.

So proud of our baby.

Another milestone. I can't believe I am a Mom of a middle-schooler!

Summer is here...I have mixed feelings about summer. I enjoy having the boys home but its the sibling arguments that get on my last nerve. One minute they are playing nice. I look over a second later and its a full on brawl. I refuse to let them veg out and watch T.V. all day. There should be a parenting/ self-help book on surviving the summer. I would buy it!! I try to set up trips and activities but by the end of the day I am beat and the kids still have energy...Oh and the house is a mess. I <3 Summer
