Camera!

About a week ago my husband surprised me with a beautifully wrapped package out of the blue. I was shocked! It wasn't my birthday, our anniversary, or a holiday and he hadn't done anything that required forgiveness! I opened the box and found an amazing new Cannon Rebel digital camera! I couldn't believe it! It's FANTASTIC! I LOVE IT! (Thank you Babe!)

Here are a few pictures of my favorite subjects Molly and Izzy...

Yesterday we celebrated our nephew Jaiden's 2nd Birthday! T's sister threw him a "John Deere Tractor Party" up at their house in Rescue. Even though it was 106 degrees outside everyone had a blast. And our gift was a hit, a mini basketball hoop! When he's the next LeBron we'll take all the credit!

absence...

does it really make the heart grow fonder??

i apologize for the nearly 20 day hiatus. who knew a blog could be so much pressure?

Say Hello To My Little Friend

Look who I found chilling on my gardenia plant a few days back...

See him? I call him mini-mantis. Can you spot him in the pic below?

Isn't he cute??

SUCCESS!

After weeks of planning, preparations, decorations, and stress, Mary's bridal shower has come and gone...

I'd have to say that overall it was a huge success! It was a day filled with friends, family, food, flowers, fantastic games, and tons of presents! A perfect day to honor the Bride to be!

Here are some pictures to enjoy! (Most are from Kelly's cam as I was too busy to capture my own!)

In closing I need to say THANK YOU to a few very special people!

Kelly! aka Games chairwoman! Thanks for all the advice during planning, the wonderful and amazing games and for arriving early and always saying just what I needed to hear! You're the best!

Mom! All of your advice during the planning was priceless! Showing up 4 hours early doing all the food prep and even staying late doing cleanup! Love you!
