I Heart Pink......Bridal Bouquet!

This one was for fun....but still! It was worth the time to put it together!

Im getting ready to help with a wedding in a month so I thought I would practice.

In this bouquet I used white and antique colored roses, a pink garden variety

and some white mini callas.

I also added some snap dragons for texture!

SO PRETTY!

Family Get-Together!

Well, I wasn't actually there but wanted to post

this one for memory's sake. Mostly because this happens once in

a great while, and it will probably be a while before it

ever happens again. Colyn had a lot of fun getting together with

all of his siblings for the weekend.

I can say for all of us that married into this family what an

awesome family the Macdonald's are.

It is not very often that you find a family with this many siblings

that are all so close and love each other the way this group does.

I am thankful to be a part of it!

Baptism Day!

Gracie was baptized on Saturday! It was a great day and we were

thankful to all that came and showed support to Gracie on this special day.

We had a party with yummy Neds Krazy Sub! Dont worry, nobody ate

my sandwich this time! It was a good day.

Gracie wanted something special for her table with her pictures

so I put together some fresh flowers for her. Here are a few pictures of her big day!

This is the life!

I cant really believe that this is my 8th mothers day.

Where does the time go? I am so grateful to be a mom to 4

amazing children who have helped me to grow in so many ways!

I was just making the rounds from room to room to assess

the damage of the sunday messes and I overheard my Conner

singing a song. This year I taught the primary kids a song for

mothers day that was really cute. He was in the bathroom singing

it quietly to himself while getting ready for bed.

It is so sweet to hear your little ones do things like that.

I am so blessed to know that I have a husband and kids

that love me as the mother in their lives. I am also happy to have

a mother and a mother in law who take good care of us and

love us so much! This was such a fabulous mothers day for me

and I hope it was equally as great for all of you!

Gracie's Baptism!!!

This month Gracie is getting baptized. Im scratching my head wondering what happened to the time? I really cant believe that she is already 8. In all honesty it is sort of sad :( not sad that she is getting baptized, but sad that she is big enough to be. Gracie is such a good kid. She tries hard in school and is soooo well behaved. These are some of my favorite things about her

1. She wants to know things! I was never a really interested child. She asks so many questions that at the end of the day my head hurts! She challenges me to know my stuff (esecially about the gospel because that is about 80% of her questions)!

2. She is so nice! She is probably the most like kid in her class because she is super nice to everyone. She always asks me what she can say to a friend to brighten their day!

3. She is an amazing help to me. She is my Go-to-Girl for everything from diapers to the mail!

4. She is funny and has a crazy giggle

5. She loves to sing and does some great things during solo time at FHE!

6. She has a big heart and a desire to be a really great kid! She has the knowledge of a YW about the gospel IMO!

Thankyou Gracie for being such a great girl! And so stinkin beautiful. You melt my heart!
