Rome

The Coliseum of course

Madison decided she needed my glasses so she could read what she scribbled on the paper lol.
Making our way through the Vatican Museum

St. Angelo's
Trevi Fountain
Pantheon

My mother in law decided she wanted to treat all of us to a family vacation before we say goodbye to Europe and we figured Rome would be the best place to go. It was SUPER HOT but nothing a little or should I say lots of water couldn't fix. :) It was great seeing some of their famous landmarks like the Coliseum, Vatican City, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, you get the picture. If you've ever seen Angels and Demons we went everywhere they did and a little more. We had a great time together and hope you enjoy the pictures.

Our dear friend Laura turned 25 and wanted to celebrate 80's style! So of course we had to go all out because let's face it, it wouldn't be the same if you didn't. :) We had a great time listening to 80's music, showing off our fashionable ring pops and talking about movies we loved when we were kids such as the Labyrinth and NeverEnding Story. We had an amazing time and can't wait for the next shindig! lol :)

Kellie and Laura, great friends and good times!




Kellie and Laura, some good friends of mine, decided we should go to Strasbourg, France for the day. So we all hopped in the car and started on our adventure! What a cute little town! We saw Petite France, ate some yummy food by the river, then ventured forth to see the Notre Dame of Strasbourg. What a beautiful church! We all had so much fun exploring this little city and are looking forward to our next day trip!

Our most recent blessing

We're having a baby!!! Bryan and I have been wanting another little one for quite some time now so it was only a matter of time! :) We know Madison is going to be an amazing big sister and we can't wait to hold our little one when the time comes. We're just so thrilled and we wanted to share it all with you!

The Big Change

How long it was before it was cut. Still can't believe it!
The cut!


I'm mad at myself for not bringing the camera to the salon because it was so much more curly and bouncy before I walked out into the rain to go home. lol But it still looked good just not as good lol.
Madison was in a picture taking mood last night too! A friend of ours saw these pictures and said that we match now hair wise. I guess we kind of do! lol

For a few weeks now I've been feeling that it was time for a change, to my hair. I love my beautiful long hair, I always have. But since it's been getting unbearably hot lately and I haven't cut it in so long I thought it was time to do something about it. I got ideas from friends and family then took the big step yesterday hoping it would turn out like I hoped. It was better! I love it! Although I miss my long hair I love how light my head feels now. I feel renewed! :) So I thought I would post some pictures for you all to see. Enjoy and as a side note: WHOO HOO IT'S HARRY POTTER DAY!

Once Again I Must Ask Too Much Of You Harry

It's coming!!!! Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince will be showing in theaters 6 days from now! I couldn't be more excited! I promise you all I won't whip out my costume (lol) but I can say I'll be showing my Harry Potter pride some other way. The costume would have been easier but I'll save you all the embarrassment for knowing me when you go see it yourselves. LOL! Like I said I'm really excited hope you all are too!
