Birthdays!!!!!!

Here we are on Friday night blowing out our candles, we got together with family to celebrate some of the November birthdays! My niece Cassie had turned 16 so her dad's parents got her a car. What a lucky girl. She also had a sweet 16 party with a few friends Saturday night. I hope this will be a time she will never forget. Sad to say, but I turned 16 one day before she was born, I can't believe I am that old that now she is turning 16. Everyone had a great time.

Here is a picture of Cassie with her car.

Here is a picture with some of her friends from her party.

I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I am so thankful that God has blessed me with so many wonderful family members and friends. I look forward to being with them this holiday.

Dad's birthday card.

Ok dad if you get on before tonight don't look! I just made this card for my dad. Tonight we are going out to eat to celebrate some of the November birthdays. We are celebrating my dad's, mine and my niece Cassie. Here is dads card. Will try to get Cassie's done after I get the kids from school.



I don't know what has happened to the last few cards I have made, but I don't seem to being getting them straight. Sorry! Might be the extra hands I have helping me!

One more thing for tonight!

I want to start off by wishing my niece Cassie a sweet 16th birthday. I can't believe it has already been 16 years. Now everyone clear the roads as she gets her drivers license and car tomorrow. Just kidding. She is a great driver.

I wanted to share one more card I had made. I made some of these to hand out to some people from Dylan's soccer team who came to his party. I know I am bad as I only made it for them, everyone else who came to the party were family and really close friends who I hope knows that we are thankful and I don't need to give them a card. In case you are one of those and didn't know, let me say thanks for making Dylan's birthday so special. I put those magic bubble wands on these cards, you know the kind you just have to put the stick in water then blow on it and it makes bubbles. I first learned to make these cards at stamp club from Ann. Thanks Ann for the great idea. I love giving these out to kids. Now for the card:

End of soccer!

Well the kids soccer is now over. They all played so well and had a lot of fun! We had Emily play up so that her and Dylan could be on the same team so that it might be easier for us not to try getting 3 different places. Here is a picture of JT in action. Don't you love those bright yellow shoes. He just had to have them.

Here is a picture of Dylan. I love how I got him in mid-air.

This is Emily kicking in bounds . She did so well for her first year ever playing.

This is a cute card, that of course I got the idea from splitcoaststampers. Here is the one I CASE'd: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/586665?si=soccer%20thank%20you Hers is better! As team mom of Dylan and Emily's team I made these for their coaches. If you notice this was mainly a girl team. We only had Dylan and one other little boy.

Happy Anniversary honey!

Well Monday was Todd and I's 13 year anniversary. I can't believe it has been that long. I don't feel old enough to have been married that long. But if I had it to do all over, I wouldn't change a thing. Have I told you how sweet he is. Well Sunday morning he got up and started cleaning out my rosebush flowerbed. A few had fallen victim to ants and had died and then he went on a mission to get me enough new ones that I would have 13 rose bushes in all. This time a year though he couldn't find any I didn't already have or that were pretty enough. It is the thought that counts though! Instead he did come home Monday morning after working all night Sunday with some beautiful pink roses that had some pretty purple flowers too. Those are my two favorite colors. See I told you he is the best.

I made him this card below. It didn't turn out that great. It sounded better in my head than it came out, but then again I did it about midnight so I could set it out before he came home in the morning. This will be a lesson not to make cards while I should be sleeping.

Kids are so funny!

You can tell it is almost Thanksgiving by what the kids are coming home from school talking about. So tonight before dinner I hear JT calling Emily and Dylan into the living room. The next thing I know he comes running to me with the camera and says here mom take a picture of us. I had no idea why, but after I took the picture JT says "See just like the Indians." So here is my darling children totem pole! It is never a dull minute around here.

Sick again

Just when you think things are looking up reality comes and slaps you in the face and your looking back down. Now Dylan is sick. He started with a fever late Tuesday. Took him to the doctor today and he has a viral throat infection and we are going to just have to let it run its course since it is viral. I think he if starting to feel better though as he actually ate something tonight.
