My Sweet Girls...

Well, I can't believe Kylie and Aubrey graduated kindergarten on Friday. I am so proud of my grand daughters. They look so pretty on their graduation day. Now they are big First graders. Congratulations Kylie and Aubrey. We love you both very much!

Friday Highlight: Keepsake Mini Box

This is such a cute project. The one thing I would change is not to put the flower rhinestone on the knob. It looks like she has some difficulty taking the band off.

Family Visit Cont...

Then Jamie came in May. I did not even know she was coming. She surprised me for my Birthday. My husband and I came home from the movies and there she was standing in the Hallway with two of her kids, Tyler and Kaylin. That was really fun and it just made my birthday even more special!

Notice the nice banner the girls put on my garage. They announced my 50Th birthday to all my neighbors!

Family Visits

In the last couple of months my daughters came to visit us and I thought I would share a few pictures of the time that we spent with them and their kids. April came to visit us in March. That is the time that she found out that she was pregnant with her third child. How exciting that was.

I really had a lot of fun with April, Ezekiel and Mia.

You Rock Card

I made this card for a swap I was in and the theme I chose was a male card. I always have a hard time figuring out what I want to do for male cards. It was a lot of fun. You can't tell from this pic, but I have Rhine stones on the eyeball sockets. If you want to see all the other cards just click here

I added a card link

I just added a card link on the right side here--------->
This way it will be much easier to look at just the cards that are on my blog. I think I will make a layout link and a family link as well.

Meatball Pie

I am trying out new recipes for our dinners. I came across this recipe that looked and sounded really good. It's called Meatball Pie. It's just like a pot pie but made with meatballs. Well, I was so excited because it looked really good when I took it out of the oven. But....it was not that great! Bummer. All that work and we ended up eating cereal.
