{Wedding Bells}

Shane's little brother is getting married! He wanted the whole family to be there for the proposal which I thought was super sweet. I watch this video and can't get over the fact that they look like kids, well I suppose they are...19 & 20! I am excited for them but at the same time nervous...so young and so much to learn. Wedding date is set for May (and I am the photographer so I am SUPER excited for that!!) and shortly after he ships off to Navy boot camp. They sure do have some tests in their relationship ahead of them but any marriage that holds strong to Christ will survive. Thought I would share the video, the sounds pretty bad but you get the idea...have a great weekend everyone!

{I am SO excited!!}

This is on it's way to me....can't wait!! Happy Birthday to me!

I wasn't to sure if a trip to the beach in February would be much fun...but we had a great time! The weather was beautiful and the boys had a blast! It was Kaden's first time at the beach and it was fun to see his reaction to it all. We can't wait to go back in the summer!!

{Cupcakes}

Been craving these like you wouldn't believe lately...














Think me & the boys will make some tonight....yum!
Anyone have some good recipes they wouldn't mind sharing?

Finally...

It's done! Well, technically it's been done for about a month but I have been a blogging slacker...sorry! Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure!

The first one shows the room empty before we finished painting...













The next ones show the room with all of the furniture back in (note:you can see where the wall is still two different colors by the door, we still weren't done painting)

Belated Halloween

I only had the opportunity to take pictures of Kaden this year as Kaige started the evening trick-or-treating with some friends of ours and by the time I saw him it was too dark :-( Here are a few, not the best but you get the idea.

Dragon Warrior...aren't you scared?


















Me & the Warrior

My house is a DISASTER!

That's putting it mildly! Check out the work in progress pictures below. Note that these were taken before we power washed the floors on Sunday. I can't wait to show you everything when it's all done!









Oh, and a pretty flower on my porch!
