The Batch Party

On September 17th we threw Laura a batchlorette Party before she got married.
It was such a fun party all thanks to one of Laura's best friend Courtnie!!
She did almost all of the work, I feel awful that I couldn't help out more...
... Thank you Court for your house and hard work to pull this night off!

To kick off the night a few of us got together to decorate the house.
The streamers were so cute the way we had it but they ended up falling...
... Dang it haha so we impervised!!
The original plan was Cheesecake factory...
... But it was Homecoming and a weekend!!
So we went with plan B, Olive Garden!
We met the other girls at dinner and had so much fun celebrating her last weekend as a Batchlorette and her Birthday!
My two Bestest Friends!!!
I love these girls!!!
Her awesome Tattoo!!
Hahahah!!
You rock Laura J!
Thank you Courtney for the Amazing Bunt Cake!!
It was so yummy and so adorable.
The Bubble Gum game!!
If you have never played it, you need to try it out!!
What you do is call the soon to be Hubby and ask him all kinds of questions like:
Where was your first kiss?
How did you meet?
What is her Favorite food?
Etc...
and for every question the soon to be wife gets wrong they have to put a bubble gum in their mouth.
It is pretty funny and way fun!!
Shows how much you know about each other and what you need to learn before the big day :D
Sexy nighty time!!
She got some super cute things!!!
The night was a success!
Such a fun night with some of my best friends!!

Night With My Niece's

I had such a fun night with my cute Girls the other night!!
Laryssa had her nail polish all ready for me to paint her nails for her.
Baby Jae was just enjoying herself all bundled up in her Blanket!!
After I got Ryssa's nails all done up we tried to make her sit still long enough to take a picture and she just kept laughing and moving around...
... we had to do a few touch ups on the polish haha!!
After they were dry we put on pretty flower stickers on the nails!!
Nothing is better then being with my pretty little niece's!!
Love them so much.
They put the biggest smile on my face :)

Friday Feelings

Today I am so very excited to be all done with work and be home!
It makes everything seem so in order when you are off work and doing what makes you happy...
... Not that I'm not happy with what I do but I am so tired of working long weeks.
Usually I have to work Saturday's but I don't this Saturday because my Best Friend is getting married to her sweetheart!!!
So I can not wait to go to be able to join her on her special day :)
And I also can not wait to just have the day to do what I want!!

My Hubby is so darn cute!!!
He knows that I have been working very hard and he appreciates it very much so he said he would take me out this weekend or just let me decide what sounds fun...
... So I can have a great weekend!!

Oookkk I do have to admit I am excited for fall..
... I mean what is there not to love about sweaters, boots, scarfs, colored leave, Halloween, hot coca, and snuggling up in blankets for movie nights??
I do love this season even though I am 100% a summer soul.
I will be happy in an season :)
Halloween is one of my favorite Holidays..
... Well if you know me at all I love all Holidays haha!!
But I love everything about Halloween so I can not wait!!
It will be here super soon,
Heck it is almost October!!!
That's all folks!!!

My baby niece Jaelyn was born.
She joined us at 2:12pm weighing 5 pounds 15 Ounces 18 Inches long.
She is a tiny little thing but the crazy thing is, she is bigger then her bigger sister was...
... only by 3 ounces and 3 inches!
My nieces are super tiny and I love it!!!

Getting ready to head to the hospital to meet the precious angel!
Ryssa and I so excited to go see Jae!!!
The whole day we would ask Ryss if she was excited to have a baby sister and she wouldn't say much...
... She was ignoring us!!
But she loves her sister dearly and will say "I love my baby!! I give her kisses"
It is so adorable!!
Running to the room to her family!
Family Picture!!
Such a cute family.
Holding her sister for the first time! :D

10 Years Ago...

...This happened
The pictures tell the whole story!!

I was in Jr. High when this happened...
... Math class.
My history teacher Mr. Minter (who also went over to serve our country as the years went on) came into our math class and asked our teacher if he heard the news.
None of us knew what he meant,
so he turned on the t.v. and we all saw the disturbing news!
I was confused at first not sure why people were so worried and running scared.
Until I finally saw the disaster...
...It takes your breath away just thinking about all the lives lost.

I can not believe that it has been 10 years...
... Every year on this date they play American song on the radio and have families say who they lost!
Makes me cry every time.

Thank you to all of you who serve for our country.
We would be no where if it weren't for you!!
We love you all!!!
