Are you ready for this???

This Blog is about to explode!! :) We have been BUSY!!! I will try to post as many pics as possible and type as little as possible. Enjoy!

Camp Bolles {a weekend campout with my mom's side of the family}

America's Incredible Pizza- This is a fabulous pizza place that just opened by us. It is really neat buffet... we like to eat in the "drive-in theater room", there is also a high school gym, a 50's diner & a family dining room. The games are fun... bumper cars, go karts, mini bowling, mini glow golf and tons of "ticket" games. If you are in the area, we'd love to go with ya :)
PS... lunch buffet is only $5.99!! {and under 4 is free!!}

CE Swaps... I am getting very excited for Creative Escape in Arizona. As a part of the "getting to know you" process there are several swaps set up to participate in. I chose the charm swap. I was to make 85 charms, mail them in and in return I will receive 75 charms back {10 go to the teachers} for a charm bracelet! I'm so excited to get them in the mail!! I also did two quote swaps, but I didn't take a picture, so I'll post that when I get them back! **Now if only I can get Piper to take a bottle!!**

Hallie's Lemonade Stand
Hallie REALLY wanted to sell lemonade and candy bars... so I gave in. She set this this shop up by herself {all organized}, set out by the sidewalk, poured lemonade, and..... waited..... and..... waited..... (I was hoping someone would come!!) finally someone did... and it started a chain reaction!! Next thing we knew Miss Lemonade Hallie sold $43 in about an hour!!! :) The next day we went to Build-a-Bear!! {that's what she wanted to spend her money on}

Okay, that is enough for tonight... I still want/need to post about our trip to Build-a-Bear, Adventureland, Hallie's carwash, my recent scrapping, our trip to MN, Davenport, Silvis, and Nauvoo!! Have a good night and stop again soon!

Headed home...

We are heading back from MN after attending Aunt Elsie's funeral. It was a bittersweet trip... It was so nice to see family I haven't seen in several years. It was nice getting to spend a couple of days with my sisters. It was hard to say goodbye to someone we all loved.

Since I haven't posted a pic in a while here is Miss Piper reading her book on the roadtrip ;)

Sisterhood

I am driving home from Ida Grove now. This day was filled with emotions. The funeral was simple, just as the family wanted. Jillian looked beautiful, so sweet and at peace.

Today felt different. I have been friends with this group of girls {and Ryanna} for about 14 years... Why were things different?? Because today felt like more of a sisterhood. We all have gone different directions and our lives have led us apart from one another, but today the vibes were strong and you could feel the friendship.

We are blessed to have one another... And the sisterhood that has been formed over the years.
