Fantastic Weekend!

Well I started decorating last week for my favorite time of year- FALL!

pumpkins,

acorns,

and squirrels

Oh My!

I was also getting ready for some very special guests for a Birthday Bash!

My pots needed lots of work, but I love fall plants and had so much fun redoing them.

This is my favorite little Thanksgiving planter- my little turkey.

My favorite dishes!

Okay, here are my special guests-

my mother & my grandmother "MeMe".

It was my mother's birthday month and my sister and I decided

that we were going to create a

"Birthday Bash" weekend to spend time with

just the girls.

Here is my sister and my little niece, Saylor-4 generations!~

I wanted to make everything extra special around the house.

Personalized just for my mom.

This is a picture of my sister & I when we were little.

I put old pictures all over the house and we had so much fun looking at them!

Friday we spent the whole day it seemed like at one of my favorite places-

Old Bryan Market & Maddens Gourmet.

Then we had a quiet night back at home- okay not really- I think we laughed and talked until we were blue in the face!

We got up early Saturday and headed to Round Top and Warrenton to shop at one of the biggest antique fairs!

It was great & I got lots of goodies too!

Thank you mother for being the generous person you are. Always thinking of others first. You have given so much to so many that your deeds could never be repaid. I thank God for giving me a mother like you that has taught me to love others so much! Thank you mom and I hope you have many more wonderful birthdays!

A Bake Sale Success!

Thank you so much to everyone who came by on

Sunday to the Bake Sale.

It was absolutely a success and

so much fun to put together!

It made me want to have a get together in my front yard more often.

Josh, Leigh and Jady were overwhelmed at the

love and support

from all of our friends and family.

I thank God for each one of you!

Jady loves her daddy!

Again, thank you for helping the Texas Chargers!

I know that their fall retreat will be a great success

with the help that you have given!

Anyone got the "Heeby Jeebies" for FALL!
I do!

I really want this platter from Pottery Barn!

I feel a trip coming on!

I think I might use the invites for a PARTY!

That's right- I want to have another PARTY!

Okay, I know I need to get back to

working on the bake sale!

I just couldn't help myself!

for

Texas Chargers which supports the emotional

and educational needs of children with Charge Syndrome

along with their families.

All proceeds will go to help with their annual fall retreat.

A weekend full of BLESSINGS!

Starting off with a house full of seniors!

That's right- class of 2011 Seniors!

markers, paint, lots of duct tape, posters, many sonic runs, sheets, shakers, horns, crepe paper and of course--lots of SPIRIT!

All of this spirit makes for one great pep rally!
Of course the seniors won!

I am so proud of my sweet Lizzie!

She looked so beautiful in her crown.

I pray that she will never forget this special night.

I wanted her to

remember every moment,

every emotion,

every word said by the people that love her and

every sweet face she smiled at.

I don't want her to forget any memory that

God has blessed her with, because before I know it

she will be "walking away" on to new adventures.

And look who decided to attend her first football game!

My sweet niece Saylor.

Next, it was on to celebrating a new little one in my family!

Baby

Cade Davis Kolby!

My sweet sister-in-law Shelbie will be having a little boy in

October and all the sisters decided to bless her with a shower.

It was beautiful!

CADE- spirit of battle

Thank you Lord for such a wonderful weekend

full of great memories!
