Meet Miss. Aniya Kristyne!!! She arrived on Wednesday afternoon weighing in around 6 pounds. She has the softest hair that I have ever seen. I was so excited to take her newborn pictures. Here are just a few before editing.

My Niece and Nephew both graduated this week. They have heard about each other their whole lives but have only seen each other a hand full of times. They are both going to Ball State this fall. She will study architecture and he will study nursing. I hope that they meet there and become friends. Wouldn't that be great? I didn't get to take pictures of Patrick but here are a few of Bailey!! Time sure does fly. It was pretty emotional for me. I cried most of morning. I have enjoyed these kids so much and the thought of them growing up and moving on to college is tough. I was happy and sad all together. I took a census and they are all happy and no sad!!! Ha!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day!

Wilt Chamberlain

McGwire had to be Wilt Chamberlin for a project at school. Since I am a girly, girl my love for basketball didn't come until I had two little boys that were obsessed with the game. I did not know about "Wilt the Stilt" and that he was the tallest man on the NBA when he played (7'1" to be exact). Any way, to make a long story short Steve got so excited about this project that he thought McGwire should be 7'1" for his presentation. He borrowed a pair of dry wall shoes that made him exactly that and then made these purple pants for him. That's right my manly, man can sew and "sew" he did!!! He went to JoAnne fabrics and bought this fabric and came home and made these pants with my sewing machine. Now you all know another reason why I love this man!!

baby bump!!!

Our friend is having a baby!! Isn't she just the cutest thing ever? She let me take her picture yesterday in the park. It was so fun to have someone open to my crazy ideas. She is due on Mother's Day. I have two more friends with bumps that I hope to photograph this week. If they turn out I will be sure and post them. Have a good weekend.

An interesting quote

It says......
Be good at something it makes you VALUABLE..... Have something to bring to the table because that will MAKE YOU MORE WELCOME.

I think it is a pretty good quote! Disney must have thought the same since they put it on this sign right next to the teacup ride.

If any of you are making your way to the Magic Kingdom or to the sunny state next week have a great time!!!! No place better to be over spring break!

Kendall and Tay-Tay!

Most of you know my addictions: SCRAPBOOKING, GOODWILL IN THE WINTER, GARAGE SALES IN THE SUMMER AND OF COURSE, DOUBLE STUFF OREO COOKIES. I can't help myself when it comes to these things.

Even though it is March I am still in the winter season at Goodwill and look what I found there. This is my niece, Kendall with Taylor or Tay-Tay for short. She is in 1st grade and all 1st grade girls are into American Girl dolls. They can only be ordered or bought at the American Girl store. (Chicago is our closest one)They have about a $100.00 or more price tag but are really well made and if taken care of will be easily passed down. A few weeks ago I stumbled onto this doll. I turned her over and read the tag on her neck and sure enough she is an AMERICAN GIRL and the sticker on her said $2.99!!! Can you believe it? She is in perfect condition and has all of her clothes on including shoes and under ware! My older nieces, Kylie and Bailey started Madi on them way back in the day so they were the first people I called about this little cutie!! We were all so excited. It was one of my favorite, favorite finds. Hope you have a happy Monday and if you have time go to Goodwill. Monday's are good days because people clean out their closets over the weekend!!
