Scavenger Hunt Sunday {12.04.11}

Filed Under: Photography

 Portrait I took some photos for my friend and her kids the other day. It was so much fun and her kids were awesome to work with. Nostalgic I love this one of Carrie and her mom.

Early Christmas Present

Filed Under: Photography

I have wanted a kitchen aid mixer for as long as I can remember. I finally convinced Kenny to buy one for me on black friday. We bought it online from Kohls and got a really awesome deal. I was not suppose to get it before Christmas but I also convinced him to let me open it early. I had to make cookies for my upcoming co-host date with Branson. See the button above to learn how you can join in.              We were given a used colored Christmas tree but when we put it up I wasn't a fan. I did ... Read More about Early Christmas Present

Santa’s Winter Wonderland {WW #16}

Filed Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: Wordless Wednesday

First and foremost I want to let you all know how Carsyn's appointment went. It went very well. Right now we are going to wait on botox and valium. I am kind of thankful. I was nervous to start any. The nurse practitioner and doctor both said that he has great range of motion and low tone in his trunk so they felt like the medicine would not benefit him right now. They actually took a long time going over everything with us. I felt really good about it. Since we were up in the big city we hopped ... Read More about Santa’s Winter Wonderland {WW #16}
