How Time Flies

It seems like yesterday when my sweet little baby was swaddled in her crib. Now she is pretending she is a deer. Happy Birthday to my Ali P.

Party!

My little bean turned 4 today December 7th! She had her first "real" birthday party this year. It was this past Friday. She had lots of fun with her Sunday school friends. They played, ate and had a blast. I am so thankful for wonderful friends that were willing to give up their Friday afternoon to bring their kids over for the party. I love my sweet Ali and am so thankful for the gift of her life. She is AWESOME!!!

Shutterfly...Oh My!

As many of you know I love getting a good deal. It has an addictive quality to it. Well thanks to some fellow bloggers I have come across a wonderful way to share my wishes for Christmas with all my family and friends for FREE! Shutterfly.com is offering 50 Free Christmas Cards if you are willing to let your friends and family know, via your blog, about their great site. I have seen many products made by Shutterfly and all are great quality. Many of my friends have sent me the cutest birth announcements...I didn't cause I could not think straight, but I thought about it. That counts right? I can't wait to start getting creative with my personalized Christmas photo cards! I have my eye on the design above. I only wish that I also had palm trees in the background of my family Christmas picture, rather than a yawning Pitt Bull and a 2 year old picking his nose! If you would like to score some free Christmas cards as well as see some sweet products that will be perfect for that hard to buy for relative or friend go here and check it out.

Halloween

Harassment - Enough...here are pictures!

This was not staged. It was just some brother-sister snuggling!

Halloween Party with the Sunday School Peeps

Ali is Ariel from the little mermaid. She was having some wig issues! She kinda looked like a cross dresser. Sawyer is the tractor. His headlights work. He was funny he didn't wear it for long, he kept asking for help and saying it was heavy. We had to zip tie the straps to his overalls. It was a great party!!!

September Lake Erie Perchin

A few weeks back, a co-worker took myself and another co-worker up to Lake Erie to perch fish. I know native NE Ohioans are used to this, but this was my first time recreating on 'the big water' and I was pretty excited. Thanks un-named co-worker!
