Getting Crafty

On Friday Night, I had the privilege of going to a Girl's Night Out at my friend Wendy's house, to make these really cute headbands. I was totally excited about going and packed my scrap fabric and a hot glue gun, and just had a great time. Jason thought it was so silly when I told him we were making headbands. :)

I made 2 of the pink ones for Kylee and Addisyn. Let's just say, Addisyn loves her's because she is into fashion. Maybe she is my daughter. And the blue and black one I made for me, and let's just say, I love it!!! I have only worn it out twice, but have really liked it both times, and the lady at Radio Shack said she liked it, so that always makes a pregnant girl feel good.

Here I am modeling it.... LOL..... I learned alot from making these, and can easily improve on the next ones I make. I am thinking of making a red and green for Christmas.

Can't get much cheesier than that!!!



And speaking of pregnant girls, Jason was kind of enough to take this picture of me at 24 weeks. I know, I can't believe it either, only 16 weeks to go!!! YIKES!!!

Holiday Happenings

We had a great Thanksgiving.

I love turkey and dressing, and my mom's sweet potatoes, and chocolate merginue pie, and homemade sweet tea, and a lot of other things. I just have food on my mind ALL the time these days. :)

On Wednesday, Mom had the grand idea of taking all 5 grandchildren to Sears to get a picture of them in their Christmas outfits. Nothing against Sears, and nothing against the people that work there, I just don't like it. I won't bore you with what all took place, but we did it, and by the time we left, the kids were nearly eating their arm off because they were all so hungry.

We ate Thanksgiving supper at mom and dad's that night.

Thanksgiving Day, we went to Jason's parents. We looked through all the ads and had a great lunch. Jasons' sister, Haley, brought her roommate home with her over the break, so they pretty much spoiled my kids the whole week they were here by taking them out to eat, letting Kylee play on there IPAD's, and giving lots of rides in the Gator, Golf Cart, and anything else that Kylee demanded. She would wake up a say, "I want to go play on the IPad." Crazy!!

Thanksgiving Night we went to my Grandmother's house, and had a great time visiting with cousins, and laughing so hard over the old photo albums somebody drug out. It was funny.

In meantime, mom and I made our BLACK FRIDAY plan, and decided we would just go around Midnight, and be late, but still go out, and try to get some things.

We'll at 9:30 she texted me, saying she couldn't sleep so we might as well go to Walmart, and check it out. So, we hop in the car, and head to Walmart.

We went to Walmart, split up and I stood in line at Best Buy, and mom stood in line at Target. Ended up getting the both big things we wanted from those stores. Hit up Whataburger at 2am, and then slept in the mall parking lot waiting for JC Penney to open at 4. Stayed at the mall until about 7, and then came home and crawled in bed. :)

We stayed up all night; how dumb is that!! Anyways, it was fun, and I'll probably be ready to go again next year.

Mom's family came in from Sweetwater, and we celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday.

Everything was fun, but always goes way to fast.

Pics to come.

I want to thank you Lord

I come before You today

And there's just one thing that I want to say

Thank You Lord

Thanksgiving 2011:

We are so blessed,and want to give the ultimate thanks to Jesus Christ. It is Him who has made our lives Great.

I am so thankful for the USA, for there is no country greater than us.

I am thankful for our home, for there is no place of greater comfort and security.

I am thankful for JJ Holik's Farm, for there was no other choice. :)

I am thankful for the abundance of friends we have, for they meet our needs in good times and bad.

I am so thankful for our healthy children, for their smiles bring the greatest joy.

I am thankful for Jason, for God set us apart for each other.

Boxes of Fun

Oh,

what fun

it is

to play

in a

little, blue

BOX!!!

Turning 30.....

NO, I am NOT 30!! I am not nearly that old..... :)

But, my sister, did turn 30 this year. So, being the party girl that I am, and I love parties. What better time to throw her a 30th party!! Mom and Duane were in on it. So we started planning some.

My first idea was to do a "NERD" party, and play on the accounting theme, and everyone dress up as nerds, and have books, glasses, and pencils as decorations.

BUT, my dad stepped in and said "She would be SO offended." LOL!!!

So, I decided against that, and starting trying to do something with BLUE because that is her favorite color. BLUE became the theme, and we went from there.

Do you know how hard it is to find blue invitations? Or maybe I am just picky.... :)

The invitation said:

Brianne is so blue,

She doesn't know what to do,

She's turning the BIG 3-0,

And she's feeling kind of so-so.

And everyone was supposed to wear blue. And everyone actually wore blue. Even my stubborn husband.

The party was last Saturday, and NO she wasn't suprised. She's to dang smart. She said she knew something was up. :(

The funniest thing was the pictures of her on all the tables and hanging. They made the party. It was fun.

BIG


HAIRCUT!

Recognize this girl???

I love her commercials.

But, even more I love the Black Friday shopping. I have been losing sleep over thinking about all the great deals to be had.

Even if I do go to get the $4.99 slap watch I want for Kylee.

I love going early I guess because I love shopping.

But nearly, NEVER, is anyone there for what I am there for.

I'm trying to talk my sister into going with us this year, but we joke about how she would probably just be asleep in the back of the car!!!

It's fun, although, last year, I did get injured. Nothing to serious.
