Decorating for Christmas

Thanks to all who have reminded me that i havent posted on our blog for some time. :-D.

Besides being extremely busy I've come to the conclusion that I am unhappy with the quality/graininess of our photos AND have become really frustrated with Blogger.  For some reason, Blogger feels the need to rotate my photos wasting precious time trying to just get these blasted pictures facing right-side up.  Oh well, even so I'll do my best to post more frequently.

This is our first year decorating for Christmas in our home.  We love it!

Is that a stinker or what?

 Before the star goes up

and before ornaments get plucked off the bottom. 

I'm LOVING Thirty-One Gifts!

Back in July I decided to join Thirty-One because I wanted the Enrollment Kit for $99.  SO MANY BAGS for such a small investment.  What started out as a means to collect a a few bags (and great discounts) has turned into a wonderful career for me.   I am one week shy of promoting to Senior Consultant.  I am in awe with the opportunities, growth, confidence I have gained and LOVE the FABULOUS REWARDS Thirty-One has to offer.  I'm posting this as an opportunity for you too. 

If you've ever dreamed of working from home and setting your own work schedule?

OR perhaps you'd like to start a vacation fund?

OR increase your Christmas Shopping Fund? 

This is ideal because you CAN do it and you CAN make a GREAT income! 

The Start-Up Kits:

Again, this is a post for all you who may be considering a career change or those who would like supplemental income. 

I challenge you to take a leap of faith.
The worst that can happen?
You don't do it and you end up with an awesome collection of product for $99.

Photoshoot Teaser

The boys had a photoshoot with MSM Portraits a little over a week ago. Marianne, the photographer is AH-mazing.  I love that she was able to capture their little personalities, all while keeping up with them, on the trails at River Legacy Park.

Could our boys be anymore beautiful? I think no.

These are just a few of the shots; we're anxiously awaiting more.

Halloween 2011

This was our first year to stay home during the Halloween holiday, since Everett was born.  As much as we would have liked to visit with family and friends, Deona was feeling under the weather so we felt it was best not to work ourselves to exhaustion. Not to mention spreading icky germs.

Thanks uncle Dodo and aunt Tammy for the awesome bats and decorating our entryway - it added cheerful spook and we loved it!

 This year our boys dressed up as a fish and angler. 



Deona stayed behind to pass out goodies to the Trick-or-Treaters, while Grammy & I went trick-or-treating with the boys.

We returned early enough to see many more trick-or-treaters. 

Everett LOVED greeting all his guests and was eager handing out HANDFULS of candy. :)

I also passed out these:

Thirty-One mini catalogs.

Okay so maybe that's considered a "Trick" rather than a "Treat" but who cares - I passed out 90 of them!  That's wayyyy cheaper than mailing them to my neighbors. :)  I digress.

This is my favorite time of year and it's off to a great start! 

Happy Holidays  - to all of you!!   

The Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch!

Same Difference.

Pumpkin Patch

A wonderful day at the pumpkin patch...

 Though it may look like they are not very happy, they were having a blast.

Everett's funny face a clear sign he had a great time. :) 

Happy Birthday Emory!

Today is Emory's 18 month birthday.  

It was beautiful today so we decided to spend our afternoon outside.

And a reflection of 18 months ago today:

Happy Birthday Sweet Em.
