Haley's 6th Grade Graduation Invitation

It's finished!  Haley's invitation!  It will be mailed to family and friends!  I know it's not the most recent picture of her, BUT I love it with the style of the invitation!  It took me a month to figure out which invitation to make as the final one!  I made, I think, around 7 or maybe more.  Days and days went by before I finally chose one with the help of Haley and Josh!  So here it is!
Isn't she beautiful!?  My baby girl is moving on to the high school in the fall! (Tear)
Her DARE graduation is Thursday night!  So, now on to the labeling of the envelops!

BUNNIES!!

BUNNIES hopped over to my parents' house!  The kids had their friend Sydney and Taylor over to enjoy the Easter Hunt!  They wore their bunny ears!  Too bad it was nasty weather outside or else we would have done the Bunny Hop Sack Race, too.  The kids found candy and money in their eggs.  The Tall Bunny, a.k.a. Haley, was not into searching for eggs.  She wanted to just stand there and look pretty.

Hoppy Easter!

Hope you're enjoying Easter like we are!
We got up early this morning, so that Josh could enjoy some time with the kids.  They opened their baskets and ran around, collecting eggs around the house!  Then we went to Starbucks for coffee and milk.  Josh left for work and we sat down to play with all our new toys.  Ryan got Mr. Woof Woof's best friend, Spunky.  Both Cameron and Ryan got outdoor adventure kits! 
Camoflauge net tent, trapper, scopes, lanterns, etc.  They are ready to catch turkeys, hogs, frogs, you name it!  Plus, Cameron got a new shark tooth necklace!  Oh...how happy he is!  Plus, Big Time Rush DVD set for them to dance around to!  Haley got fingernail polish, some CDs, lip balms, and money to hang out with her friends!  Plus, rocket-em sock-em rings!
In a few minutes, we will be heading over to my parents' house for some Easter fun!  Easter Egg Hunting and hopefully a bunny hop sack race!  Let's hope the rain holds off!  Then, we are headed to Josh's work to eat dinner!  I will post more pictures later! 
HOPPY EASTER!

Just Another Day...and a Wedding!




Today is just another day in the neighborhood! 
Haley got 100% on her Social Studies test of 71 questions, filled out her class schedule for 7th grade at the high school, and smiled with the mention of her boyfriend Ryan.
Cameron, as usual, hates school and was excited to leave there this afternoon!  Ryan, on the other hand, had a not-so-good day.  This morning, on the way into school, he dropped his last strawberry on the ground and started to cry and whine.  So, I did the only thing I could think of...went back to the car and washed it off with my water bottle.  Then, after school, he was jumping around while we were waiting for Cameron and fell, scraping his palms.  We cleaned them when we got home.  Josh is still at work, working until about 9.  I took the kids to and from school, picked up Haley's graduation party invitations, and took my mom to lunch on her work lunch break. 

On a HAPPY note!  My friend Marcy is getting married tonight!  We met through our daughters, mom vs. mom.  She is marrying a wonderful man, Jim!  They are getting married at their house with their daughters present.  Jim has 3 daughters and Marcy has one.  I am so happy for them!  I know they will be happy together!  One big happy family!  Love and Hugs!

Rainy Saturday!

What a rainy day!  Since it is so rainy and windy, I decided to help my husband out with his work.  So nice of me!  He needs help scanning recipes and pictures of the food at work.  So I am scanning and scanning!  My daughter Haley is moping around the house because her friends cancelled on her to go see a movie.  Last night she went to late skate at our local ice skating rink with friends.  She had loads of fun...Probably because her boyfriend Ryan was there.  They are so cute, even though they are only in 6th grade!  It reminds me of when I met my husband.  Next month I will be scanning again to make the slideshow of the 6th grade kids for graduation awards ceremony.  Fun!  Maybe later I will get around to posting a party that I have done for one of the kids. Have a great day whether it's rainy or sunny!

My Life

I am so excited to start this blog!  I have been working on this for months, trying to come up with something good that people will like!  My name is Teresa.  I am a wife to an amazing husband, a mother of 3 beautiful children, and love to plan parties, help out as much as I can, and take pictures!  I, also, love to travel and see new things!
These are my babies in life!  Ryan 5, Cameron 7, and Haley 11!  They, along with my husband, are my life and love!  I try to do anything I can for them.  I plan all their birthday parties, throw anyday parties for them, and right now planning my daughter's 6th grade graduation party!  With the help of my amazing husband Josh! 
Josh loves to plan parties as much as I do.  I just take months to plan things.  Such as this blog!  I am starting Haley's graduation invitations!  I have way too many ideas and have asked Josh to pick one that he loves!  We'll see if it will be the one I stick with!?  The date is set for June 11th!  Haley is graduating from the Elementary School and moving up to the Junior/Senior High School in the fall.  I am one sad mommy.  My baby girl is going to the high school!  So, since she has been an high honor student throughout elementary school with a 4.0 GPA, Mommy and Daddy are throwing her a graduation party!  85 people!  How many when it's her senior graduation???  It's a lot of family and friends!  We are having a cookout in my mom and dad's backyard.  There is not enough room in mine.  I am planning on having photos of her over the years blown up and placed around the yard.  The photo booth...that's another idea I haven't gotten to yet.  So stay posted for more updates!
