Fancy Schmancy

Last weekend was Brie’s Birthday, so of course we had to party it up. Her theme was Fancy Nancy, and I decorated as fancy as possible (well for me). I think it all turned out very pretty and that Brie and her cute little friends had a good time.

We painted fingernails and toenails, I read the fancy girls a Fancy Nancy book, they played with Brie’s dress up, they made their own parfaits, ate fancy cupcakes, and drank tea from a special tea set. All in all it was a busy but exciting party.

Hunny (my mom), made the invitations, the Birthday banner, and we worked together on the cupcake toppers.

For Brie’s second party (the just family party), I set up a candy bar for everyone to take home as party favors, of course you can’t go wrong with candy especially with Josh’s family.

the girls were able to wear their favors during the party we had feather boas, fancy sunglasses, bling rins, bracelets, and tiaras for them to wear.

Hunny & I also made pens with feathers for the girls to take home.

Bad Blogger Continued!

Since I never posted a first day of picture, I am going to do so now.

Brie started 1st grade this year. She is doing wonderful and is keeping us busy with her homework, dance lessons, and church.

They get a list of 8 to 10 spelling words per week and have to do different activites with these words Monday thru Thursday, while on Friday they have their spelling test.

They have to read 15 minutes at least 5 days a week.

We go to Graham for her dance classes 2 days a week, and have church on Wednesdays.

I'm just tired listing her activities, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

So without further ado, here she is...

Terrible Blogger!

So I've decided I'm the worst blogger ever!

Once again I'm going to have to do a recap of the last several months.

In July - Aug. I went on a roadtrip with my mom and one of her besties & her mom. It was loads of fun & we laughed till we cried. We drove from Olney to Kentucky to see Chylene's son Brandon who recently entered the Army. It was the family day after they were done with Basic training.

The girls!


Chylene had these cute shirts made for our roadtrip!

The handsome Army Soldier!

This summer went by way to fast, I didn't get to do half of what I wanted. I wanted to keep my nephews for a weekend during the summer, and almost waited to long. They came for a weekend at Aunt DD's in August before our vacation and before school. My oldest nephews D is in Pre-K this year. We had a blast as usual and I love spending time with them!

We played outside!!

These boys are "bests"

Watching TV

In late August before school started we were able to take a short family trip. We went to Ft. Worth for several days and enjoyed being away. We left on a Thursday and came home on Sunday. By Saturday, the kids were ready and begging to come home.

We went to the water gardens.



Me & my girl!
