A Night At The Beach

I know I haven't posted in a while so here is a picture overload of an evening at the beach....I just love the beach!

How I Know She Is Feeling Better...

She is dressed up in her butterfly costume with her makeup done! I have had a sick little girl since her birthday. It has been a long week of hanging out in the living room watching tv/movies and playing with her new DSiXL she got for her birthday. Ronyn has been such a trooper this week in just hanging out with us. I don't think he really minded as he was glued to his new DsIXL. The birthday party went well but I never got to take any pictures as I was taking care of Scarlett. My mom did a good job for me and I can't thank her enough for capturing their 6th and 4th birthday! Thanks Mom!!! I am really hoping that we can get out and do things this week. I feel like school is approaching fast and I am not liking it. Why can't Summer last 4 months?

Date Set

Travis and I have picked a date for our wedding. We have decided to have a backyard wedding with close family and friends. I always feel awkward being center of attention and don't really enjoy it, so I think a small intimate wedding will be perfect! I have found the dress, thanks to the help of my mom and sister Ashley. It is not a traditional wedding dress but it is still beautiful! Lynn (soon to be official mother in law) has a real sting of pearls she let me try on with my dress. They are perfect! I love how everything seems to be falling into place.

Getting Crafty

I made this birthday banner for the kids party that is coming up on the long weekend. I took pictures of the Alphabet letters on my fridge, did a little editing and then printed them off. I then strung them on some twine and used clothes pegs to attach them. I am really happy the way it turned it out. I can see this banner being pulled out for all our future birthdays!

A Big Pout & Some Frog Fun With Neely and Maven

I've Been Lazy

I have to admit I have been lazy. All this summer fun and late nights have taken its toll on me and I am whooped at the end of the night. I am going to start to post more often . I have been going through all my photo's and trying to get them organized and the not so good ones deleted. Here are a few of my favorites that I have taken recently. Our garden that Nana Lynn has taken such good care of is growing. Tonight we brought home 2 radishes, a green onion and spinach. The only thing they liked was the spinach!

From The Past While.....

~My Grandad~

~Scarlett, Ronyn & Maven~

~Scarlett and Blue Edge~

I have so much to catch up on and so many good photo's to share that I can not possibly do it all in one shot. So I picked 3 of my fav's and will add more throughout the week (I hope).

A lot has happened over the past while so I will give you a quick review. It is not in order as I cant really remember what happened first or last but it all happened.....

My grandparents went into a nursing home. I am so happy for this as my Grandad has Alzheimer's and my grandma could just not keep up with taking care of him or herself. I went to see them and they seem really happy. It was really touching as when I got their we had to wait in the hall for a moment and my Grandad seen me and started crying "Theirs Angie, Theirs Angie" and waving to me. I love grandparents and love pictures of grandparents. I hope to get many more.

I also got engaged! After 17 years my Travis asked me to marry him! Scarlett is so excited to be in a wedding that she has already started making crafts especially for the special day. I don't want a big wedding, we plan on eloping with close family and friends. More details and pics to come of this....

We also started a garden with Nana Lynn. We were a little late at starting it but everything seems to be growing well and the kids get really excited to see if anything new has sprouted. Scarlett found a caterpillar at the garden and named him Blue Edge (she comes up with the wildest names) he is now in a ca coon and she is excited to see him as a butterfly!

Also, My sister went to Japan for a week and I cant wait to see her pictures, the kids finished their swimming. We had one pass and one who needs to repeat the level. We will see how that goes in 2 weeks. We have had some awesome backyard fun involving swimming pools, slip and slides and water slides.....Gosh we have done so much and I have so many pics....I hope to keep editing and posting!
