Scrapfest

I've been a bad blogger lately, & as always my excuse is the pure craziness that is our life!  Last weekend we (Dan, Collin, Evan & I) traveled to Minnesota to Mall of America.  It seemed like a great opportunity to take the boys {I was asked to attend Scrapfest to help with Reminisce classes} & they were more than thrilled to go!  So, Friday morning, bright & early we started off on the long drive & arrived around lunch time.  We took them to Rainforest Cafe for lunch.  They were both quite distracted & were really more interested in going to the Lego store than eating.  When we finally got to the store they were in heaven!  They each chose to make their own set of lego figures & checked out tons of stuff they want for Christmas.  Andria was taking all the Reminisce ladies out for supper, so the boys left early to check into the hotel, as they were dying to go swimming.  I had a great time out with the girls.  We don't get to see each other nearly as much as we should.  After supper, I ran into American Girl to get Lydie a Bitty Baby.  Then, back to the hotel for a few more laughs with the girls {darn it, we missed happy hour, though!}.

Saturday morning, I headed to the mall with the girls to start a busy day helping Andria with Reminisce classes & a crop later that night.  I don't know how she does it, but she pulled it off!  We received an awesome response to my Autumn Forest line, which was being featured in the booth on Saturday.  YAY... it's so awesome to be out with scrapbookers & get feedback to all our stuff.   Everyone was great & worked so hard to give everyone a great experience!

Well, I've been meaning to post these pics for a while of our niece Ashlyn's first birthday party from a few weeks ago.  Our family had a wonderful time watching the little cutie pie enjoy her day!

Lydie 2.5

Lydie2

Yesterday our little lady turned 2 1/2!  I can hardly believe how much change this girl has gone through in a mere 6 months.  It's crazy how such strong personalities grow in such little bodies!  New words & phrases occur daily & this morning she proclaimed herself a princess.  We love you so much,princess Lydia & you make us all smile & laugh every day {& yes a little frustration thrown in for good measure}!

Happy Birthday Dan & Donna!

Yesterday was my honey Dan's birthday & {of course} his twin sister Donna.  We celebrated with family & friends last night on our porch.  It was awesome weather to enjoy seeing everyone again... we just don't get to see everyone nearly as much as we like!  Thanks to all who took time out of their busy schedule to help us celebrate.  Love you Dan!  Donna we hope you had a nice day with your family as well... Happy Birthday!

feelin' like FALL?

The weather here in SE Iowa has been a little crazy recently... going from hot summer, to rainy & spring like & then to full blown fall {which I love, by the way}!  The evenings have been great to spend outside playing while Dan is working on the house & the boys are riding bikes or the 4wheeler.  The other night I made sure I took the camera {perfect weather & perfect lighting!}.  I got lots of cute ones of Lydie...
