Back to school...

Ok, I know these are over a month late, but I wanted to share anyways. Here are my kidddos on their first day:

We're baaaaack....

Well, we are now back in Pace. So much has happened this summer. Most of it not good...but I am very happy to be back home. The girls are now going to the same elementary school that I went to...kinda cool. I'll be sharing first day of school pics and the such very soon. :)

Cotton candy, please

Baileigh's new school had a carnival a couple of weeks ago. I am always slow at uploading photos these days. I wanted to share some of them with you all. :)

This is Marina in a bouncy ball race




And again at the dunking booth. Students from UCF volunteered to sit in the booth. She had three tries and she hit it square on the first throw, hahaha!



And the girls going up the blow up slide. It was funny to watch these poor kids struggle up the ladder. Between the sliding back and falling over each other it took them forever to get to the top!



Another fun day. Too bad Daddy had to work that evening, he missed out on some great memories...

Freshly Picked listed

It's so hard to say goodbye...

As many of you know, my husband moved 450 miles away in December for work. After 3 horrible months without him, the girls and I followed. We have moved from the panhandle and are now residents of Winter Park, FL. We miss Pace SO much....our family, friends, the beach, and all of our "hangouts". But we are looking forward to a new and exciting life here. Garth, of course, is happy to have us here, as this is what he wanted all along. Our first trip to Disney as residents will be at the end of this month for Marina's birthday. :) Here are a few pictures of the girls the day they said goodbye to their classmates:

Slumber Par-TAY!

Baileigh hosted her first slumber party this past Friday. Her birthday was back on January 27th, but do to some scheduling issues, we waited until Feb 13th to hold the party. Her guests had fun decorating cupcakes, making their own mini pizzas, having dance contests, and raiding Marina's dressup box. Everyone also got their very own ella*monde pillowcase as a party favor. I got my inspiration from the DARLING homemade goodies that Patty of modkid made for her daughter's party. She made all the girls their own aprons with matching oven mitts and chef hats. If you have never checked out her blog, you MUST. She has a long list of talents! :)


The table, I am STILL finding that confetti all over the house....



The pillowcases. Baileigh and Marina got the red ones...valentine's gifts from their Mommy. I made the others so that they would work with our party theme, but still could be used anytime of the year.



And the cake, which wasn't planned. I had batter left over from each batch of red velvet and strawberry cupcakes. I had heart shaped pans that were given to me years ago, and I finally put them to use! In case you didn't know, strawberry cake bakes up fluffier than red velvet...



I'm really not sure why my daughter feels like she has to be "gangsta" in all her photos. I blame all my friends on Facebook and Myspace, hahaha. ;p

Favorites relisted....

I just listed some beautiful sets with great BIN prices and FREE shipping on ebay. Take a peek! :)
