Us (4 year Anniversary)

Still happy and together after 4+ years!  We celebrated our 4th anniversary just 2 days before these pictures were taken.  I love this man with all my heart and I am so incredibly lucky to call him my husband.  We have been together for almost 7 years and I love looking back on the time we have spent together.  No one can make me smile like Clay can.  And there is no one else I would rather spend my time with.  I love you Clay!  Thank you for making it "official" 4 years ago.

Family Photos

Updated family photos for 2012!  Thanks so much to my friend Ginger Voth for the great shots!!!  Love them!!

Portraits of Me

I haven't had photos taken of just me in a really long time, and I am working on a project that required a pictures of myself (ugh).  So luckily I have a wonderfully talented friend who said she would take some photos.  Thank you Ginger!!!  Thought I would share a few of my favorites!

Owl Diorama

In February, Courtney had to make an animal diorama and give a report in her 3rd grade class.  She chose Owls, and we went to work creating the diorama out of a shoe box.  My Cricut saved us and we came up with this cute final project.  Anytime I can be creative and use my scrapbooking skills I'm all over it! We had so much fun working together!

 Practicing her report for me. :)

Courtney's 9th Birthday

My sweet little girl turned 9 back in February and we celebrated her special day with family.  I love that most all of my family lives close by and we can be together for birthdays.  I decorated the dining room and got her presents wrapped, and made some yummy rainbow cupcakes.

The bows on top of her presents I made out of tissue paper and my new Martha Stewart scissors.  They turned out pretty cute! :)

 A new bitty baby from American Girl!  She was so excited!

 Court gave me all of the money that she had saved to put towards a kindle fire that she was wanting.  Luckily I got a good deal on it or it may not have happened.  Good timing!

 My girl on her actual birthday!  Officially 9 years old!  Where does the time go??  So happy you are mine!  Happy Birthday Zoe!
