Great News!

I really wanted to put this post off so I could tell my bunko girls in person, but I can't wait anymore!! Since most of you read my blog, I figured this would be a great way to surprise everyone......yep......I'm PREGNANT!!! We are super excited. I'm only 5 weeks, so I still have a long journey. Please pray for our new baby's growth and for a healthy pregnancy. Love you all!

Vicks VapoRub

I know many of you know about this, but for those who don't...........If you or your child have a cough, put a thick layer of Vicks on the bottom of your feet -- then put socks on. Sleep like this and you will have a cough free night. I tried it on Landon for the first time last night. It works!

10 Years!!

Happy 10 year Anniversary BJ. I love you more than the day I married you. You are a wonderful man, husband, and father. I'm proud to be your wife. xxxxxxxxxxx

Christmas Bunko!!

Merry Christmas to bunko!! ............thank you Kelly for our beautiful bunko sign from Canton. We love it. (notice bunko is spelled with a "k"???!!)
And thank you Alice for my beautiful Christmas plaque. I really needed something next to my front door and this goes perfect :) I love it!!!!! (We did a Chinese gift exchange) What a great time with friends. xoxo

Gum Drop Garland

Have you ever made gum drop garland?? If not, DON'T! I thought it would be so easy........the line gets so "gummed up" and the line easily cuts through the drop that you have to ever so easily pull the drop down the line perfectly straight. Too funny -- some how I signed myself up to do this for our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) table decorations. Just warning you in case you get suckered in to doing it :)

Cookie Exchange 2008

My baking day started out good....parchment paper and candy canes. However, the cookies I planned ended up like this... The thought went through my head -- no more cookie parties for me!! Alright, I can handle this...lets go to plan B. What is plan B? Luckily I dug up a receipe someone had given me...Spiced Apple Cookies. Not the best, but they will do. I'm all set and on my merry way.

When I arrived all these wonderful decorations were waiting for everyone! The party was an absolute hit! Great cookies, beautiful placemats, bags (notice the ornament on the bag), and new receipes for all! Can't wait for next year!! xoxoox

Nativity

I had to show off BJ's work. He got a templete to make this manger scene. He did a great job!!
