Look who just turned 15.....

Happy 15th Birthday Bree........
Today is my baby girl's 15th birthday!!! These years are going by way to fast for me. She's just breezin' right along... Of course I said that about my other 2 when they were growing up also. But it's true. One day they are just babies and then POOF! Grown!!! Whah......
Our goal was to find 15's to take her picture by or with But....it was too cold and we were too busy to find many, so we got just a few...with shadows :( {grrr}because of the time of day. We only had about an hour of free time to get these so we had to take what we got. We took them yesterday between ballgames and birthday dinner with her friend...We might not have had all the shadows had I waited till today.
***I am 15*** Oh...and in the rush of things I forgot the sprinkles on the cupcakes!!! What kind of mom forgets the sprinkles? !!!!(don't answer that!)
May as well take advantage of the shadows........

Josh and Melissa's Valentine....

Is it just me or do we almost immediately start thinking of Valentines Day right after Christmas? I've had Valentines Day crafts started{some finished....some DUDS} since the first of this month. Anyway I made this little picture for Josh and Melissa tonight for Valentine's Day. Now if I could just get myself in gear for getting my Valentines crafts finished. After the many many boxes of Christmas decorations just now getting put up in the attic {thank's to Josh because Bobbys back is in too bad of shape to be up there right now} I'm not real sure I want to go wild decorating for another holiday.... just yet.....didn't say I wouldn't though. I did have some wax dipped hearts with glitter sprinkled on them that I had made and put on the table ***until tonight ***when our busy little Kayden thought they were candy and tried one{yuck--poor baby} They aren't there anymore. Maybe I should decorate with chocolate hearts or Hershey's kisses or red and white m & m's so they are baby friendly decorations :){grin} Oh yeah....I can see his mama lovin' that idea!

Life is too short......

Another little bit of borrowed inspiration that I wanted to share with you... I love this quote because in a life that sometimes seems a little unfair at times , we need to remember that we are only here for a short time and we should make the most of it. Live everyday loving God and loving each other .... Oh...and please pray for the baby in the post below.... he has been a sick lil darlin and needs a healing touch from God. :)

Happy New Year!

This has been a good day. I got to spend the WHOLE day with my honey bunny Bobby and Bree. That just doesn't happen very often! Usually everyone is running different directions or just....running in general so today was nice. Although Bobbys back has been giving him fits lately but he is better today. Last year I attempted to make a 2008 resolution(to do list) HA! I'm just not sure I accomplished any one thing on that list very well, so this year.....nothin'. I'm not making any promises or to do in 09 lists for myself(that way I won't be so dissapointed in myself next January)
With the exception of not getting my to do list accomplished, I did have a very good year, and for that I am thankful.
Happy New year to you and your family!
Thought I'd share a couple of photos from Vacation
This was taken this summer on our 24th wedding anniversary.....What a way to celebrate. In Colorado{Or favorite place to go} Then we went hiking and had a picnic lunch. Awwww what a sweet memory.

This one is Bree relaxing {at our picnic} Don't ya just love the view? Ahh...beautiful!
