New Project

We have been in our house for a little over 5 years now and we finally put up some curtains in our dining room. I'm so excited because it is exactly what I wanted. Thank you Brent for making this possible. : )

Riley's 4th Birthday Party

My little rock star!!


Princess Riley had a Rapunzel Birthday Party.


Make a wish!





Shortly after Christmas, Brent and I took the girls to see the movie Tangled. It was a huge hit with the girls, especially Riley. She just had to have a Rapunzel birthday party after seeing it. My wheels immediately started spinning and getting into party mode. Between the two of us, we had come up with all sorts of party ideas.

• Luminaries in place of the lanterns


• Tower cake


• Rapunzel party favors


• Pink & purple balloons

Well, all of them happened except for the Tower Cake. Unfortunately, I didn't get any before shots of the cake, but it had an unfortunate fall. All the Kings Horsemen and all the Kings Men couldn't put "the cake" back together again. At least I get an "A" for effort....right? I was devastated and I immediately called my sister for help. Her advise was simple....go buy a cake. So, I did and added a few embellishments to it and called it a day.

Sweet Riley didn't mind at all. All she wanted was presents, cake and ice cream. That's exactly what she got! We all had a wonderful time and was extremely entertained the whole night with performances on her new "Rock Show" present. Which includes a microphone and speakers. (videos to follow)

Happy Birthday Riley!!

A Little Behind.....

It's been a while since I have posted on my blog. There's plenty going on around here, but I have not made the time to write about it. So, here's a few pictures to show you what we did over Christmas and New Years.

Watching tons and tons of football.


Happy New Year!
