The Walls of Heaven

I saw this on Facebook with the caption... "now I know what the walls of Heaven look like"

I would have to agree!

Speaking of the "Naughty One"






Amy's Birthday Cake

Jackson LOVES Amy! The other day he told me in was in the kitchen making Amy a birthday cake. When he was done he came and got me so we could sing "Happy Birthday" to Amy.

This was his cake...

Ever since my cake class, Jackson has "made" several cakes, but none that looked like this. It took me few minutes, but I figured out he was copying this cake:

Rose's cake from "Sleeping Beauty." This is the scene that he will watch over and over and over again!

It's Christmastime!!!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

Everything about it... the lights, the smells, the food, family, friends, everything!!!

But my favorite part is going and picking out a Christmas tree, a real, live, Christmas tree.

Unfortunately, this year I have a naughty girl and I wasn't going to get a traa at all, but I gave in. And, sadly for me I bought a cheap, fake tree that my naughty woos couldn't ruin. Despite the fact that it's f-a-k-e (which is usually a four-letter word around my house) it turned out very pretty and fills our living room with Christmas light.


And of course, my favorite Christmas decoration...



And speaking of naughty, how do you like the Christmas t-shirts I made for the kids using iron-on letters? Cute, huh?

Merry Christmas!!!

Good Friends

My friend, Kasey, who lives in South Carolina was up over the Thanksgiving holiday, and we used it as a great excuse to get together a couple times.

On Friday. Amy, Kasey and I met at Olive Garden dinner. It is our "go-to" spot. I was explaing to someone recently that is is my favorite restaurant, but it's not even abou the food. It is about the time I have spent there and the memories that have been made. It's the place we've always gone, and I'm sure it will be the place we always go!

Our fantastic waiter, Jamison, took our picture. Aren't we lovely?!


Kasey's kids and my kids are really close in age, but she has a brand new baby, unlike me. Her son, Jake, and Jackson are about three weeks apart in age, and her son, Nick, and Caroline are about 6 weeks different. Her new little boy, Ty, is 2 months old. We decided to meet at Chick-fil-a on Saturday so the kids could play, and Jackson has been talking no-stop about his new friend, Jake ever since. It was great fun! I went to high school with Kasey's husband, Daniel, so it was great to see him as well!

Nick and Caroline. Caroline is 6 weeks older.

The whole bunch of us. That plant behind me makes my hair look crazy. ha!

I Wish!
