Scavenger Hunt...

that led straight to Disney World...
After Dad was killed in a car accident on Christmas Day last year, we had to go through the motions of dealing with such an unexpected death...phone calls, Funeral plans, paperwork, etc...All of which are necessary but not so fun! A large dose of reality set in and we were once again reminded that we are not promised our next breath! We need to take EVERY single opportunity that we are given, not taking anything for granted! So in April Ray and I started talking about wanting to do something fun, out of the ordinary...like taking the girls to Disney World!!!!...We also said that if we planned it that we could NOT tell them until the very last minute (neither of my girls are very good with dates or timelines) to tell them that we were going...I then thought of doing a scavenger hunt to tell them the good news. I called KeKe, who is very creative and great at writing spur of the moments poems, and got her in on the deal...
After 6 LONG months of keeping my mouth shut, they finally found out on Wednesday!































More "Fall" fun..

Leslie and Dana are good friends of mine who have taken up the hobby of sewing...They have TRIED to get me to get into it, but it's just not my thing...Thankfully they wanted some more practice and so my children got some really cute CES clothes!






Cj and Avery...

were once "boyfriend and girlfriend" but she recently "breaked" him (in her own words) so now they are just the best of buddies!



Fall is here...

and so is the first football game of the season! :) I LOVE this time of year...we love walking up to the football game, hanging out with great friends and making lots of new memories!
