2014 Recap!

Finally catching up! So here's what went down in the year 2014! :)
The Tooth Fairy made out like a bandit this year! Madison lost five teeth and we're still counting lol! I keep joking with her that if she keeps losing them and doesn't grow new ones back soon, she'll be reduced to nothing but pudding and applesauce forever lol! She's still just as cute as ever, even with all those missing holes in her mouth. :)




Miss Lily turned 4! How time flies!
Always the silly ones!



It's been so fun watching them grow into their own little individual personalities! Madison loves Dragons, Star Wars, Ninja Turtles and/or Ninja's in general. She always has a smile on her face and can make you laugh at the drop of a hat. I just love her!

Lily is still my little princess and probably always will be but hey I'm not complaining. :) She's quite the talker lol, a friend to everyone and overall sweet all the time when she's not being stubborn lol. I love that girl!




My sister Megan got married to this awesome guy named Preston, but not before we had an awesome Bachelorette Party in her honor. We went for the Disney Villains theme, we had so much fun! I was the Evil Queen from Snow White, Megan was the Queen of Hearts from Wonderland, Alyssa was Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmations, Kristen was Ursula from The Little Mermaid and Tara was one of the Evil Stepsisters from Cinderella. We had a blast that night!

That was not our last wedding though, no sir! The girls were asked to be in their cousin Kate's wedding as flower girls! Aren't they just the cutest?! 
Giving love to Aunt Christy!
Not long after that I gained a niece! Welcome to the world Jacey Mae! :)
Madison rocked in her Kindergarten and First Grade Plays!




She also turned 7! Where does the time go?! It just so happens that her birthday fell on the last week of school and they have a so called Spirit Week to countdown the last days of school On her birthday it as Career Day and she said "I want to be a Policeman!" So I made this shirt for her to wear complete with authentic Williamsburg badge and patches I ironed on to her shirt courtesy of transfer paper lol. :) She was super stoked and had a great day!


I had the rare and incredibly rewarding opportunity to sign myself and my Young Women up to volunteer at the Special Olympics. We had a blast and loved being around such wonderful individuals!

I went back to Girls Camp for the third time, this time as Camp Director. I had a great time especially after meeting this awesome lady you see above you who I was incredibly lucky to have as my assistant. Since then we've been BFF's ever since. So glad Camp brought us together, can't imagine my life without her now! :)





Not long after Camp was over it was back to school already! Madison onto 1st grade and Lily starting Preschool. The girls absolutely love their teachers and this Momma doesn't know what to do with herself during the day lol! 
 We've made some fun memories along the way! Harry Potter night at Barnes and Noble (gotta teach them early), Veteran's Day at Madison's school, Marvel Live at the Richmond Coliseum, and overall silliness! :)






























We had a great year and are looking forward to they many great memories to come next year! :)

How Time Flies...

Here I am Febrauary 2015 taking total advantage of how easy it is to follow everyone else's lives through Facebook and completely forgetting about updating my own life on this blog. For those of you who follow me on Facebook, all of this will be old news. But for those of you who don't, you're in for a real treat. :) Quite frankly, I'm looking forward to a little stroll down memory lane so fun for everyone. We will start with a recap of 2013:

It started off with a trip down to Florida for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. Of course we had to stop by Georgia and see Honey first. :) We had a great time celebrating and even had time for some major beach time fun!

The anticipation of waiting to see Santa is killer!








Last but not least we got to spend time with my awesome brother before he left for his mission. Of course he and Bryan had to go get their swole on together while he was visiting. :)
