Airplane's

We went to a birthday party this weekend for a friend and she made airplanes out of life savers, smarties, gum and rubber bands! How cute and sooooo simple!

My Baby Turns 2!

My baby turned 2 on November 20! How time flies when we are having fun. This year she was a bumble bee for Halloween so we just carried the theme on over to her birthday! I designed the invitations (picture to come later) and had a family lunch! We had taco soup, white chicken chili, chocolate chip cookie dough dip, sausage dip, corn bread, and lots of sweet treats!

The birthday girl trying to get her hat off of the table!

Bit O Honey pail for the little bumble bee. I made the cutouts!

The beehive cake! This only took twice to bake but it came out pretty good. I only decorate cakes twice a year and this was the second one this year!


I thought I would try my hand at covering pretzels. It was a little harder than I imagined but had fun doing it. They look like bumble bees right?


I made signs to go with everything that we had out...

The sausage dip...yum yum!!!

We had a great time and so sad to see it come to an end. I finished up by creating a memory book from Shutterfly! The orange box is on it's way! Can't wait to see it!

Fall Break

We had so much fun in Indiana! Shopping, visiting friends, family, farming, eating, playing and one long car ride!!!

My First Grader!!!!

Monday August 8 Allie and I went to check out who her first grade teacher was going to be and who was in her class. Ms. Bates is her teacher and she has 2 people from her class last year that are in her class this year. She will have to meet some new people but will see her old friends on the playground! Here's to a good year!

Allie turns 6!!!!!

My little girl isn't little anymore! Allie turned 6 on 8.7.11! This was the first year that it has rained on her birthday party day! God answered my prayers b/c it stopped a few minutes before the party started and they kids were able to spend the time they needed in the pool! Allie had her friends over and they enjoyed the pool, water balloons, snow cones, cake and Allie's bubble gum shop!

Allie wanted to visit the hat place on her birthday for dinner. Nachos it was! She actually wore the hat this year! So proud of my big girl!

July 30

My niece Olivia turns 3! So hard to believe! Besides taking pictures of her birthday party for her to hate her aunt in 20 years when the boys are over, I was able to get a few pictures of my girls!

Allie in the play house! She is thinking one week till my birthday!

Samantha enjoying Olivia's birthday gift from her dad! She liked it so much, I think we will get her one just like it except it will be pink and a "goggy"


There was a little accident with the cake and therefore there was green cupcakes! Samantha had the time of her life with these cupcakes and getting not only herself green, her daddy!

July 23

We spent the weekend over at Nana and Papa's! Grandmom, Granddad, Elaine and Elise were in town so we spent time with them.

Samantha being Samantha! She loves getting in the cabinet under the tv. This particular day, she enjoyed playing with Olivia under the tv!

Had to get another picture of the 4 Reese granddaughters with their great grandparents! So nice to see them all together!

July 19

HOT!!!!! It was a hot one out there July 19! I was trying to come home from meeting a vendor and my car told me it was HOT = 100+! Traffic wasn't pretty either! It took me over 20 minutes to get out of downtown! I am so glad I don't have to fight that traffic everyday!

July 17

We have a tired one on our hands! Samantha feel asleep in the chair!

So Far Behind!!!!!

So the past few weeks we have been really busy! Birthdays, school, shopping and other things! I have been taking pictures (not everyday but pretty close to it) just not posting them! I am going to share a few and see if i can do a little better over the next few weeks!

Day 41 - July 14

It has been a week since I have posted pictures. We have been really busy but I have managed to capture a few pictures! A friend of mine at work, Tonya, brought some of her corn to me today. Of course, I had to boil that right up for dinner when I got home!

Samantha had fun at first and then decided she had enough and wanted to feed her daddy!



A busy weekend is upon us but we are ready! Hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful one as well!

Day 40

might be day #3 that i didn't get a picture taken....which out of 40...isn't bad!

Day 39

My baby girl...what can I say? She is such a pleasure to be around. I enjoy singing with her every evening. Her favorites are Row Row Your Boat, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Patty Cake, and the best part is getting to tickle her non stop!

Day 38

I did this for my cousin Elise. She is in dental school and would be happy that I received this at work, brought it home and is still sitting on the table! HAHA!!!

Day 37

I can't believe the house looks this clean after coming home from being gone all day Saturday and Sunday!

Day 36

There are too many pictures to put up here from this day i KY! We drove up to KY and met Grammie, Papa Jack and Aunt Amy for the day. We went to dinosaur world, the wax museum and the wildlife museum. Allie and Amy enjoyed a few minutes in the pool while Samantha ran up and down the hall ways!

Day 35

I think I forgot to take a picture this day....we were packing, getting ready to go out of town for the weekend and I didn't feel well! Oh well, I think this might have been the 2nd day missed which is ok with me!

Day 34 July 7

Last Thursday (yes a week ago) I sat in a meeting listening to it rain. I had no idea that in a little over a hour, Cool Springs would be under water. Allie asked what was going on and why was a helicopter flying above us as we were trying to get to Samantha! I am glad that i wasn't at the mall this day!

Day 33

There is a chance of rain everyday...yesterday it had rained and the sky looked pretty cool. Allie and I were getting off the interstate and stuck in traffic so I took this picture.


The number on this picture was 422. Really? 422 pictures on my iPod? I bet I know who has taken 400 of those - ALLIE!!!!! I have deleted most b/c they are pictures of nothing but who cares that is the beauty of digital pictures!

Day 32

The sweetest kid on the block!

Day 31 - Happy 4th of July

don't even know where to star with all the pictures I took! This was breakfast - 4th of July pancakes

Me and my girls!

Day 30

Cinnamon roll time! The funny part came Saturday when I was making the dough and couldn't remember what kind of flour I used. Bread flour isn't it and I learned the hard way. Both mom and Jon said I should write it down but I don't think I will ever forget that one! They were yummy!

Day 29

We went swimming for the day but Sam had other ideas...wanting to play peek a boo in the cabinets!


Allie needed to drink like the big kids, only her drink was tea!

Day 28

I had to fill up Friday at some point in time and I was in a training class on the other side of town. So glad I waited!!!!

Day 27

I have got to do better about posting on the days i take the pictures b/c i have not a clue what picture I took today! My nice camera has dates but the ipod does not! So.....

Day 26

For the most part we pass a train once a day. Today, it was passing by and there wasn't anyone behind me so I decided to grab my ipod and take a picture. The girls love trains as do I!
