Almost Picture Perfect

My awesome friend Cate took our family pictures.

Miles was not in the mood to sit still for pictures, but

I still LOVE how they came out!

Can you believe she took these pics in her garage!?

Amazing!

Photobooth Bunko

 Mandy & I threw our big 

annual Bunko Party...way back in December...

As usual it was a blast and we took way too many pictures 

to post, but be assured, we look like super models in all of them! 

Hahaha!  I wish!  

We set up a photobooth with some adorable props!

We also brought in our own Painting with a Twist teacher.

It was a very busy, very fun night with great friends!

Thankful For My Family

I had to work Black Friday starting at 

8:30 Thanksgiving night, so

my family came together at Manda's

house so that I could come.

They pretty much did everything, so I 

wouldn't have to do anything!  

It was so sweet and I'm so lucky to

have such a good Mom & sisters!

We ate too much and had a blast, as always!

Working Black Friday sucked.  I was

exhausted.  I worked from 8:30pm Thurs- 6am Fri and

then came back Fri 3:30-11. 

Never again!

I don't want to ever shop Black Friday again since 

I know how much it sucks for the workers!!

All the Grandkids!

Color Runnin

I've been seeing pictures of these color runs for

a couple of years now and always wanted to do one.

I was so excited when a Groupon came up

for half off a color run in Houston!

I got my sisters and my Beaumont friends to

join me and the Cypress girls.  It was so

fun having everyone I love from all over,

 together in one place!!

Natalie even made some cool shirts for us 

to wear in the race.

Tim & the kids came and he took pics for us.

I love running fun races, instead of the serious ones!

Sisters: Manda & Andrea

I ran another Color Run in February with a friend from work

Me & Kelley

I'll be running yet another 5k in April.  This time it's a 

night run under a show of lights and music!  I can't wait!

A Halloween Post in January?

Let's pretend that I don't suck at posting

in a timely manner and just go with it, ok? ;)
Also, while we're pretending...
think of me as 21 yrs old, 5ft 11in, and 110lbs.
Good, that's better now.
Moving along... 

So, here's Halloween 2012...

and not a single store-bought costume!

That's got to be a record!

Yes, that adorable puppy is picking his nose.

Notice the spinning bowtie

Obviously, Bradley went as himself, a Nerd!

Nerd, 80's rocker, Scuba diver

Maddox, the scuba Diver

I spent 15 min making the darn flippers and he lasted about 

5min in them because his lovely siblings

kept calling him a penguin and made him cry.

At least I got the picture first!

Homemade air tanks

We had to order pizza one night so I could get

some 2L bottles to spray paint for his

scuba gear. ;)

Little Miss Spunky

I was very impressed with myself for turning a plain black 

tshirt into this distressed 80's masterpiece!

I ironed on the cassette tapes and did all

the slicing to rock out her shirt.

Seriously, have we established that Miles is the

cutest baby on Earth yet?

If not, just look at that puppy dog face again!

That puppy costume, I made for Bradley 11 years ago.

I HAND-STITCHED every single spot on it!

All 4 kids have worn it for their 2nd Halloween.

He kept chasing his own tail! LOL

A-freaking-dorable, yes?

Miles and Krew scoping each other out

 Miles and Krew could not figure out what was going on!

Dude, don't I know you??

80's rocker and Glam Witch

I broke out my old stand-by Glam Witch costume...again!

I added the pink hair as a new touch, and totally loved it.

I wish I had the nerve to do it in real life, but alas, I 

am a chicken.  I also would love to be a red-head

like Kate Nash from Private Practice, but

Tim said he wouldn't love me if I dyed my hair. ;)

Marci channeling Cyndi Lauper

My big nerdy boy!
