Archdale Bush Hill Festival

This weekend I took the girls to the annual Bush Hill Festival. We rode the ferris wheel. I am not a fan of carnival rides but I have always loved the ferris wheel. As you can tell from the pictures, Courtney was a little apprehensive, but once she opened her eyes, she really enjoyed it.

First Day of School 2009

Cassidy is a big eighth grader this year and Courtney is starting the fourth grade. I can not believe how big they are getting. We had a talk a long time ago about how I did not want them to get any bigger and they promised they would stay small. What is happening?????

Backyard Update

This summer we have completed a few improvement projects in the backyard. We have finally painted the awful red deck, replaced the tabletop and umbrella that the wind destroyed, added the privacy fence and replaced the faded and worn out pool liner. It is finally taking shape. Next spring we tackle the landscaping and move and paint the storage building. The work is never done.......

Butterfly Kisses

Last Thursday, I threw an end of the summer party for Courtney and a few of her friends. It was a woodland/butterfly theme and everything turned out great. I think the girls a good time, I can tell because none of them wanted to go home!

Forget Me Not...

Sunday we celebrated Grant's father's day with an elephant themed party. In part as tribute to his dad who passed away last year, I decorated the table with part of the elephant collection we inherited and created graphics to use as vase wraps, place mats and signs. We feasted on grilled chicken, fresh green beans and pasta salad. We topped it off with homemade milk and dark chocolate truffles and chocolate covered strawberries.....yummmmm!

I Just Want to Be Wonderful...

My dad has been a Marilyn Monroe fan for as long as I can remember. This year I decided to host a Marilyn dinner just for him. We celebrated on Saturday evening with a delicious Italian meal and his favorite Italian Cream cupcakes.

Courtney's Class Luau

Here is Courtney and her best buddies, Hailey and Delaney at their end of the year class luau. Are they a bunch of cuties or what?

End of the Year Teacher Gifts

This year the girls gave their teachers customized Hershey Kisses in cute little chinese takeout boxes. They turned out really cute. It was a small but nice way to show how much we appreciate what they do all year long.

Happy Mother's Day

We had a lovely Mother's Day at my mom's house. I made some treats and a few decorations. We also got all three grand daughters to pose for these pretty pictures.

"Quesadilla Cassidy and Exploding Burrito"

This is Cassidy and her friend Emily. They have been friends since kindergarten. They gave each other these nicknames way back then. I can not believe Emily will be going to high school in the fall! Where has the time gone?

Mountain Trip

The last week in April Cassidy's 7th grade class took a bus trip to the North Carolina Mountains. They visited The Biltmore House, Mount Mitchell, Pisgah National Forest, and few other places that I can not think of right now. Anyway she needed a satchel to take while they were out on their adventures. So in order to send her in style, I handmade her a one of a kind Twilight bag.
