FRIENDS

Tribute to my fellow bloggers and in honor of our annual Friend-Family Turkey day coming up soon. I found this website called: faceinhole.com and saw this. It was perfect b/c it had 6 of us! I think Tony's is the best! Happy Saturday. Love you friends!

Shoe Fetish!

Thought I would share something silly on a Monday. For a while now, Jackson has been very interested in shoes. He'll go into all of our closets find them and trying putting them on and walking,...most kids do that right? Do they do this too? Heels?



You know that's a problem when Mommy can barely walk in those shoes and Jackson can! Have a great week everyone!

Did I miss something??

Lately I've been seeing count downs on facebook, decorations in walmart, commercials for Sears,...already for Christmas! HELLO, Did we miss fall? NOT ME!

Fall is one of my most favorite times of the year so his is my top list on how I know when it's fall:

1. My hair color changes....to at least closer to it's natural,...darker.
2. Football season has started,...in which means Fantasy Football league at work has started! Watch out for "Indiana Jones". I'm making a comeback this year!
3. Pumpkin Spice Latte has come back to Starbucks!!
4. Halloween costume shopping for buddy. Last year he was a cute little ninja, this year a monkey!
5. Fall soccer is back in swing. GO SABRES! Also weight-lifting for the high school is soon approaching.
6. My fall decorations are out.
7. Flip flops are now probably frowned upon, although sometimes I'm guilty of this.
8. Friend Family trip to the Pumpkin Patch. $6.oo for a pumpkin, hayride, little animal zoo, horse rides, corn maze,...oh my what a deal!




Enjoy your fall!!!!

An Extraordinary weekend!

This weekend I went to the Extraordinary Women's Conference in Roanoke for the first time. It was an amazing weekend. There was TONS of women there! Several speakers, comedians, music artists, and authors,...including my favorite Karen Kingsbury. Picture is a little distorted,...I was a slacker and brought my camera on Saturday instead of Friday. This was taken from my phone. I had her sign one of my books and a children's book titled "Let me hold you longer" (PS if you haven't read it, buy it or youtube it,...so sweet and a tear-jerker) for Jackson.
We also got to meet her and Candace Cameron Bure aka DJ Tanner from Full House. Her testimony was awesome! Such an eye opener.
I had such a good weekend. I went with a group from Bethel and my Ma and mother in law, Marty came as well. It was such a good time to fellowship with friends. I saved the best picture for last,...since I use Em for my own person photographer (b/c I'm that important to take my photographer everywhere I go-phew jk) Em was officially taking pics of us waiting to get Candace Cameron Bure's autograph. We couldn't pose for a pic so this is Em's shot of her and Candace. Check out both of their faces!! You know she's got to have an awesome personality to go along with this crazy chic! Oh and yes by the way, I know, don't you just love that I am using her first name like we're bff?!

Can't wait til next conference in 2010. For all you ladies who couldn't go, you missed out. Please make a point to come next year. It was amazing!! :)
