Pick a pic

Jenn tagged me with this little photo challenge:

Open your 6th folder in your photo files and post your 6th picture.

Well, here it is...

{i skipped the dear hunt folder, which was my actual 6th folder, can you blame me?}

This is our cute little family, December 2007.

Dressed all matchy for church...

How exactly can those kids grow up so dang much in 14 months?

Sadly, I know exactly what helped me change so much...

Darn that Smart Cookie!

*details on THE party of 2009 are coming soon!

Winner, winner! Chicken Dinner!

Steph posted this on her blog and it sounded like lots of fun. I love surprises and excuses to surprise others so here we go!
*Buyer beware! 6 of the 7 things listed in #4 are not anywhere in my capabilities...


The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It'll be done this year. {might be a while}
4. You will have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry or maybe even some creation I haven't even invented yet (but Heaven knows it will most likely be totally fabulous and creative... :). I may draw or paint something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me!* *Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!* *

Three days later...

...and I still have sprinkles in my floor!

I {heart} these three!

She says to me...

"HOWDY!"

TOASTY...

...is what we're calling our bedroom after the face lift it received today.

Slather it in some "toast" colored paint and now its all warm and cozy, I love it!

Many thanks to Chad for helping me on his day off, between his 6'8" height and steady artists hand, he ROCKS the painting scene!

Fashion Queen

What can I say? The girl loves fashion!

Not too long ago she told me..."Mom, me and my friends are like really into fashion. But not like the kind that our moms tell us something looks cute but like REAL fashion!"

Guess she's doing something right...the comment her teacher wrote on her SEP report was - I love having Adilynn in my class. She is always willing to help out and dresses so cute!

might be...

...TooTHLeSS...

but its still BeauTiFuL!
