Quack, Quack the duck park

The 3 Musketeers: Sarabeth, Caleb and Rylee enjoying the duck park. We had been to see the movie "Hop" and got pizza from Little Ceasars. yum yum

Sea of Red

What a beautiful, breath-taking site.....a field of crimson clover (or at least that is what my moma calls it). This field is located between some of my in-laws homes. The rocket in the background was placed in this special spot when I was just a small child. I can remember them moving it from one location to another because we rode by to see it.

Rylee and I .....Caleb would not get his picture taken! ugh!

All my bunny friends came out to play.......

Better late than never is what I always say! I know a little late for sharing my Easter Tablescape. I have had my table decorated for over a month, but getting the photos uploaded onto computer and then posted is another story! I will keep it short like a fluffy bunny tail!

Centerpiece is nestled on top of a pewter cake plate placed in the center of a floral wreath. The dried hydrangea have been in several TT. I used two different tablecloths....one floral and then burlap.

The light got a little Easter bling bling!

Ol' faithful paper plates from Hobby Lobby, Gibson cup and saucer. The green transferware was purchased at an antique store. Glass tumbler is from Target.

This is what I like to do on a Sunday afternoon....take a peaceful nap!

Petter invited a few of his friends over for a little gathering! The more the merrier!

Happy Easter to all! Hope everyone enjoyed their time with their family and friends! Thanks for stopping by!

Science Fair Poster

Rylee's school had their first Science Fair since the late 90's. It was a mandatory event for all grades K-5. We started with a blank outline of the state of Alabama because the theme was Outdoor Alabama. We decided on "Birds of Alabama". Then my "teacher-mode" took over. It was very hard for me not to do the ENTIRE poster! :) I outlined the state with tiny twigs then we glued bird seed inside. We got a poster from the store Wild Birds Unlimited. They gave us a poster and some other materials. The poster was very useful. Hot glued some native bird pictures onto the poster. Told Rylee what to write and .......Drum ROLL......finished product!

He did not win....don't know why.....BUT I thought it turned out very well, and we were very creative. Great minds think a like!

Celebrating Gran's B-day

Febrauary 25 was my moma's birthday. She would kill me if I posted her age. I had to work that day, so I had to cook something simple. I cooked beef stew, Mexican cornbread, and baked a "frozen" apple pie. I gave her a Pandora charm for her bracelet and something else that has not arrived yet. Happy Birthday!

Who says you need a cake for candles? A pie works just fine, BUT let it cool before inseting candles....they will melt! hehe

Girl's Night

Watch out.....the girls are out and running loose...... April, Debbie, Me, and Charlotte! We had our annual "Girl's Night". Notice the word annual.....need to make it more often!!! We had supper at Logan's. Had to wait forever for our meal which in means.....FREE FOOD! Yeap, we did not have to pay for supper which meant more $$$$$ for shopping! :) After supper, we had about an hour to kill before the late show at the movies. We headed to Berk's Outlet for a little looking and a little spending! Mostly talking! We always pick up right when we left off. Been friends since grade school! We have the best time when we are together! We saw the movie "The Roommate". Creepy....makes you NOT want to send your child off to college! Trust me!

Charlotte (aka Char) and Me

April and Debbie

Mother-to-be is NOW a mother!

Back in January, we hosted a baby shower for our cousin Kathryn. Well, today she welcomed her precious baby boy, Langdon Thomas into our loving family. He is a whopping 10.4 and 21 inches. She had to have a c-section due to his size. Everyone is doing fine. Unfortunately, I did not get to join the birthday party because I am home sick. Usually, when a baby is welcomed into our family......the whole family is there......cousins and all! I wish the three of you a lifetime full of love, joy, and happiness. I know you will be perfect parents, and you will raise him in a God-loving family! Bless wishes to all of you! Love to all! ( Posing for picture: Diane (Kathryn's mother-in-law), Kathryn, and Haley)

Here are some of the family members that hosted Kathryn's shower at Bethany's house (my sis-in-law). Lucy (aunt), Laurie (cousin), Bethany (cousin), Kathryn, Haley (Kathryn's sis-in law and our cousin), Tina (cousin), and Me (cousin). Kathryn married my husband's 1st cousin. Whether you are an in-law or not, you are considered family! :)
