Friday Fun

Happy Friday! I hope you all have a fun filled and exciting weekend ahead of you. I know we have some fun stuff planned.
Today was such a busy and fun day. I got nothing done and that was great. We had my neighbors little girl Emma over, as well as my niece and nephew. We had a blast. Here are some of my favorite pictures from today.
<--Bray and K dancing together. They danced all around the house like this. It was darling. <---The aftermath of our very fun and silly pillow fight. <---they all FINALLY got the suckers they asked for after lunch and we settled down to watch Snow White. <--Emma and K on her freshly made bed. We had a really lovely surprise this morning when we opened the door. There was a gift from Grandpa Burt and Grandma Mary. Clothes from our favorite store!! Gymboree!!!!!! Here is K wearing the shirt she got. I love it, cause it is a mommy shirt.


I also have some layouts that I have recently completed to share. Most of them are for our Disney album..I am not even halfway done with it! I just keep trudging along.







Have a fantastic weekend!








Thankful Thursday and Sweet Shoppe Blog Challenge


Today is Thankful Thursday!!! I have really been enjoying doing my thankfulness/blessings on the blog. It has really opened my eyes to all the things I have been blessed with that I simply overlook on a day to day basis.
So what am I thankful about this week?

1. I am thankful that we had a snow storm. Because of this snow storm my husband was able to work from home two days and Kennedy has had only one day of school. I got to spend more time that usual with both of them, as a result of some yucky weather.
2. I am thankful for sitting on the swing with my nephew and holding his hand. Those are the little moments I just cherish.
3. I am thankful for an encouraging card I received from a special friend this week. The card was given to me at a time when I didn't think I could take anymore. It was uplifting and reassuring.
4. I am thankful for the mess I have in my kitchen (that I am currently cleaning). Having that mess means I took time to spend with those I love. We enjoyed good meals together, we are not hungry and we had time with each other.
5. I am thankful that I was born in America. I am free. Free to worship the one true God and I can talk about it and not be punished for my beliefs.

Today on the Sweet Shoppe Blog there is a little challenge so of course I wanted to take part...It is about resolutions and if you will keep them. I have to say I have been doing pretty good.

Snow Day

Over the course of the past two days we have received a large amount of snow. As a result Kennedy has had two days off of school. Today we decided to get out in the snow. Kennedy went out with JT while he shoveled the drive way. She made snow angles and just had a very fun time.

<--I bundled her up so much she has like 3 shirts 2 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of gloves, a jacket, a coat and her hat. <-----she was loving just rolling around in the snow. Here is Kennedy making her first snow angel of the year. <---what a cutie pie!!! Then after lunch we headed over to Grandpa and Grandmas for some sledding (they have better hills than us) This was Kennedy's very first time sledding so she had no idea what it was all about. Jeremy Kennedy and I piled into the car and drove over to one of our local stores and bought a sled and headed off. When we arrived at Grandma and Grandpas we were met by Kennedy's Aunt, Uncle, and cousins. We had a fantastic time. It was really cold, but the kids didn't seem to mind. They had a blast sledding. I knew Kennedy would love it and she did. Jeremy had a great time playing with the kids and I of course had a good time taking pictures. I however did get on the sled with Jeremy and my nephew Braden. We had a great time today and it was great to be with family. I was so glad to be able to hang out with everyone today!


<---Kennedy screamed in delight as she sledded. I think she really enjoyed her first sled ride. She had no idea what to expect. <----Jeremy and Kennedy rode once down together. They are so funny. The sled didn't go well with both of them on it.

<---Here is Bray and I riding on the cool tube sled he had. That thing went fast. Later Bray and I were sitting and he was talking to me and he said "I don't like sledding the snow gets on my face." But while we were on the sled he was having a goodtime.I love this little guy he is too funny. <----Here is K going down the hill all on her own!!! What a big girl. <---Jeremy and Bray were riding together too. Jeremy is such a big kid.
<---Here is a picture of me I took...Jeremy bought me those shades on our vacation. LOVE THEM!!! <--I love this pic of Jeremy and Grace. It is rare to get pics of them together so this is just a fav of mine. <---no snow day is complete with out hot chocolate.

Cool Product

So today it is all snowy and cold outside. It is the perfect day for cooking. (I love to cook so I think everyday is the perfect day for cooking!) So I thought K and I could make some cookies or cupcakes, as our church has a fellowship meal tomorrow. I started surfing the net for a cool cupcake recipe. So in surfing I found this really cool apron (I get side tracked easy!)


I totally love the whole old school house wife look with the nostalgic pin up look. So of course I totally fell in love with this apron! and look it has matching gloves HOW FLIPPING CUTE!! That would at least make doing dishes a bit more fun...right?
I however do think I could probably make a cool apron like this myself for the price...but considering the cost of supplies lately maybe not!


Okay well I think we should prob. go get started in the kitchen..more snow is coming so we need some sweet treats.
P.S. Don't tell my diet about the cookies!
