Snowy Weekend....

My sister Sandy said I needed to update this thing...so here it is!

On Friday, I headed to Evansville for Sarah's Christmas party for work. It was at the Casino Aztar Hotel. We had some time to waste before the party started, so she took me to her work. It had moved since the last time I had been there. In the bottom of the building there was a jail cell still set up from when the building was a jail...I thought it was really neat, but I was scared. Sarah thought it was funny how every little sound made me jump! Here's a few pictures from the jail cell.....

Next, we headed to our hotel to check into our room and relax before we had to start getting ready! Sarah will probably kill me for posting this picture, but oh well....

Sarah & I at her Christmas party. It was a fun night!

Because of the bad weather we got, I stayed at my grandparents' house in Odon on Saturday night. When I got there, Regan and her family were there. I got to see the girls, which really made me happy.Me & RayanneDid everyone notice Ryleigh's hair? She decided to give herself a hair cut!
I let Rayanne & Ryleigh play with my digital camera and when I got home, I had a bunch of random pictures on it! I left Mamaw & Papaw's around 1pm today and got home a little before 3pm. The roads were okay until I got to Brazil....Steph doesn't have school tomorrow so she is loving that she gets to have a long weekend!

See everyone next week! I'll be keeping the girls next week, so stay tuned for more pictures!!

Day at the park!

After Hayleigh's birthday bash, we headed over to a park by the river. It was neat. Here are some pictures:

Evan's just a swingin'......Hayleigh

She loved this thing!

It was a perfect day outside for the park! Everyone had a good time!

A Hacienda Birthday!

On Saturday my Mom, Steph, and I headed down to Evansville for my nieces 12th birthday party. It was fun! We enjoyed a nice dinner @ Hacienda and spent the afternoon together. Here are some pictures from the day.

Boys' Birthday Bash

This past Saturday was Evan & Aidan's 5th Birthday party @ Chuck E. Cheese's.
I had never been to a party there before, it was fun. Chuck E came out and sang & danced with the kids and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves! I've posted a few pics from the party. I also posted some pics of Rayanne & Ryleigh in the Halloween costumes, they came trick or treating at Nana's on Saturday night. Enjoy!

Girl's Retreat

This past weekend I took the Teen Girls "away" for a weekend. We stayed in a brand new hotel and enjoyed an evening of swimming & bonding! Saturday morning we headed to the Light House Mission to serve lunch. The girls had a blast! I think it was a really good experience for them. Then we headed to Plainfield to do some shopping! It was a great weekend! Here are some pictures. Enjoy!


This is me with all of the girls that went, and Melissa one of the adult chaperons. Pretty good lookin' group huh??For our devotion on Friday night, Gina led a discussion on "Authentic Christianity". The girls discussed some of the "masks" that they have been wearing and as part of the lesson, each girl got to pick a mask to symbolize their "masks".

It was a great weekend! The girls all enjoyed themselves and we all got to know each other on many different levels.

My NEW laptop!!

Just wanted to post some pictures of my new toy! I got it last week, but have been too busy to post any pictures. Hope you can see them. So far.....I LOVE IT! It is taking some time to get used to the keyboard/mouse part tho! Have a great week!

SHE Daisy Concert!!!!

What a weekend! Early Saturday morning, I headed down to Seymour, IN to visit with my sister Regan and her family. I enjoyed seeing the girls and I already miss them! I also got to meet Kristin's baby Emma. She is a doll! Saturday night, Regan, our friend Kristin, and I drove to Nashville, IN and went to see SHE Daisy in concert! They were really good! I think everyone had a good time. The pictures from the concert are kinda dark, but they are the best I could do. Enjoy the pictures & I hope everyone has a good week!

Well, I hope you enjoyed just a tad bit of what I got to enjoy this weekend. I have so many more pictures, but blogger just isn't big enough!

Oh what a night...

Greetings! Tonight Sandy and her kids came over and ate supper & hung out for a bit. Abby was sick & she was being so cute! Sandy had some car problems & I didn't think she was going to be going home at first, but with the help of Grandad & my car, she was on her way! Evan wanted to stay the night tonight. It was cute, but it just wasn't a good week. I talked him out of it & told him that in a couple of weeks that they would all be staying the night at Nana & Grandad's house and we could have a sleepover! Here are a few pictures from the evening...
