Birthday Video

Finally got all the clips together from the Carnival party. I love that you can hear my "carnies" doing their thing. I love that my family and friends get into this just as much as I do!

It's a little shaky and I apologize. My first real time I was using it.



It was so much fun!

Wild & Wonderful Christmas

This past weekend we packed up the truck and headed to Wild & Wonderful WV to visit my family to finally celebrate our Christmas together. It isn't odd that we wait until January, we've even waited as late as February before. Girlie LOVES going to Grammy K & Pappy K's house and she was so excited. Mom, Aunt Shelly, Girlie and I loaded up and headed out in the wee hours of Friday morning. We had a safe trip but it was way too short!



jammin' on the ride there

Me being completely goofy to pass the 7 hour car ride.

When we got there we got settled quickly, as we always do, and she helped Grammy K wash the dishes lol yes with her feet in the sink as noted on the 365 post.

Snapshot with Grammy K. These two adore each other!

My brother and his family arrived Friday night and boy do I enjoy spending time with them. PLEASE MOVE TO TN GUYS! :) I'M BEGGING! :) I have the best brother in the world and his wife and offspring, well they are just as quality! We ate way too much, laughed just as much and really really enjoyed each others company.

Emily, my niece.

with Rachel, my niece.

Mom (yes with a bow on her head) with her grandbabies. She said she was their gift :)

I think they are hers!

Garrett, my nephew, was totally thrilled that Nana bought him his favorite book. Ducks Don't Wear Socks.

cheesin' with the birthday gift from Uncle Bubby & Aunt Dawn Dawn

I love Garrett's facial expressions in this one. He was so excited to open this big box of stuff from Nana. He played with it endlessly the rest of the weekend.

with Emily

We headed out early Sunday morning and had a safe trip home but it was way too short of a time to spend with those you don't get to see often enough. I think this year I'm making it a top goal of mine to see my family more. This once a year junk stinks!

WE LOVE YOU GUYS AND MISS YOU TONS ALREADY! See you soon!

Those baby blues

Zack turns 17!

I haven't had too much going on the post the last few days but last night we celebrated with our cousin Zack his 17th birthday!

He's HUGE into WoW and I made him the neatest card, he LOVED it :) GO ME! Seeing as I looked up the lingo online I was hoping it all made sense and once he explained to me it really did.


Here are a few pics from last night!
The cupcake cake. I have no idea what that yellow blob is supposed to be. Goofy bakeries!

The birthday boy! Yes, his hand but this is how he normally takes pictures as he hates having them taken.

Setting the house on fire with the candles! What's most hilarious is the way we actually sang happy birthday. If Aunt Shelly gets the video up I'll link it. I so should have had my Flip camera out.

HA! Got him! A picture of the birthday boy. Look at his hair! And that's after being cut...

Finally Girlie snapped this one of him. HAHA!! I bet he didn't think she was really taking one! Gotcha Zack!

Hard to believe the little baby I saw 17 years ago that had just came back from Germany be 17 and crazy! lol. WE LOVE YOU ZACKIE! Hope you had an amazing birthday!! Here's to a 100 more!

With all her birthday loot. What a blessed little girl

Birthday Carnival - the BEST part!

The most wonderful part of the party yesterday was all the terrific family and friends that were there. We had such a great turn out and Girlie is so blessed to have such wonderful people surrounding her. Her Mom is even more lucky that those people are generous and kind! I LOVE YOU ALL!

Check out some of the most wonderful people on the planet! (the others are pictured above in other parts of the posts... everyone is equally wonderful to us)

We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for everything. For helping decorate, fix food, man game booths, cut cake, move presents, clean up, for wonderful gifts and just for being there and loving us! We are so blessed!

Happy 5th Birthday girlie! We hope you enjoyed it!
