time to

wash the car!!

bubble, bubbles, bubbles!!!

look at that post lunch belly.... my goodness!

just because...

i ran across this old pic from a friend's birthday party and it made me laugh. i'm sure that caleb was yelling, "i'm gonna get you scallywag!" and then there is walker.... all calm and collected! :)

peek-a-boo

lance has been playing around with his new video application on his phone!

graceful and 90

my gran turns 90 today and we enjoyed celebrating with her in a REALLY BIG way this weekend!

this is a picture of her during a toast to her.

her cake was designed by one of her great grand daughters, Blake, over a year ago!

our kids spent most of the time begging to be outside in the pool or playing sand volleyball.

lance and i were just grateful to make it... seeing as all three kids were throwing up the day before... riley puked twice in the car ride to simonton! lovely!

but we made it to celebrate THIS beautiful woman!!! she doesn't look 90 does she?

i had to take a pic of her bee pin... this is a piece of gran jewelry that i remember from childhood. i LOVE that she wore this on her special day!

i got to sit with my sister!

little miss has being waiting and waiting to wear her new dress.

my mom did alot of planning including these centerpieces. they were lovely!

this was my second recent attempt at a pic of my parents with our kiddos... this is as good as it gets! HA!

visit with cousins!

Riley got to celebrate his birthday again with a visit from his cousins. AND they brought SNACKS!!! hee,hee

this was his present from him... a six month supply of all the snacks he can eat!

and since they missed out on the rainbow cake... we made up for it with rainbow cupcakes.

everybody chowing down

ummm.. can i have cake everyday?

my beautiful sister!

the girls! aren't they adorable?

GUESS WHAT???

I made a dress!!!
CRAZY!
I am definitely a seamstress want to be and i have been wanting to try my hand at patterns. this was the result!

i've been following lil blue boo for a LONG time now and i love how she reuses her old knits to make something new for her little girl. I used two of my old t-shirts to make this one. This one is really simple, but i needed to start small... baby steps! HA! allie loves it because it is comfy, PINK, and a dress!
two points for mom! :)

some days...

are just HARDER than others! :)

sweet allie is going through the phase of needing a little sleep, but not much... so she stays up and plays in her room and then just before nap time is over she falls asleep! today it was in her hammock with a lamp???? poor thing!
