The First Day of First Grade!

Zach went to school on the first day of school with a swollen “whip”!  It was no fun!

 

He had a good day in spite of it all!  He was so happy to be at school with his friends, Sara and Alex. 

Vacation 2012!

 

We enjoyed a great time together with our little family in Branson.  We headed up to Springfield to eat at Lamberts.

Zach has developed a taste for coffee since his dad has been drinking it a little lately.

Zach and his dad enjoyed a ride on the Ducks….I chose to shop for an hour.  Zach loved the gift shop at Ride the Ducks. 

We went to the Haygoods with Robbie, Steve, Chloe’, and Ashlyn.  Look at this silly boy!  :)

Chloe’ and Ashlyn wanted to get a picture with the Haygoods!  Here it is Chloe! 

We went to Silver Dollar City.  Zach always wants to make a wax hand. 

Rides….rides…rides….

What a great time together!  I look forward to our next trip!  :) 

Fall Favorites!

    

I love Mr. Rooster behind the pumpkin arrangement. 

I really liked this wreath in my entryway last year, so I decided to use it again.  However, I used 2 lamps and some shiny pumpkins. 

This is an arrangement in the living room on the coffee table. 

I’m having a hard time getting used to the darker mantle in this rent house.  I think I would like it either darker brown or white. 

Well, I just posted a sneak shots because I said I would.  I have a few more things I want to do before I show you everything! 

Happy Fall, ya’ll! 

It’s full steam ahead!

 

It is hard to believe how quickly a home can be built.  They just started building this house a little over 2 weeks ago, and it’s getting exciting! 

Zach’s on his way to find his room! 

 

And…..Dad’s Media Room!  :)

I think I am going to love the ceiling in our room! 

It’s going to be awesome!   If life would slow down a bit, I think I could enjoy the excitement of this chapter in our life.  But, that never seems to happen around here. 

Zach’s Angry Birds!

A couple of weeks ago, Zach watched a video of a little boy making clay models of Angry Birds, and he wanted to make his own.  So, I told him he could make them the next morning.  The first thing that came out of his mouth when he awoke the next morning was that he wanted to make his Angry Birds.  I pulled out a box of modeling clay and off to work he went.  I think he did a pretty awesome job!  :)

I love Fall Decorating!

Welcome!  I thought I’d make a post on some of my favorite fall decorations from last year!  I’ve already decorated for fall and will be sharing it soon.    

 

Happy Fall, ya’ll!  I hope you have as much fun decorating as I do!  :)
