My precious Taylor Marie turned seven...


I can't believe my baby is now seven!  I remember the day she was born, like it was yesterday.  My darling Taylor was three weeks early and weighed only 6lbs.  She was my tiny little peanut.  We had know idea what we were doing and were scared to death!  Now, seven years later we have a beautiful little lady that fills our hearts everyday with sweetness.

We had planned to have Taylor's birthday party at the Express Clydesdale's farm in Yukon, but the weather did not cooperate with us.  With all the snow and super cold weather, we had to go to plan B.  So, we decided to have the party at our house.  Taylor took the news pretty good.  She was just super excited that her friends from church, school, family, and her cousins were going to be there.  She had a great time!  We had some yummy cupcakes with little boots on them.  So cute!  She had a really fun horse pinata that poor uncle John had to hold for us!   It was really funny!  I'm really surprised neither our TV or John got hit.  I took a lot of fun pics.

Enjoy...






























My big seven year old!




Taylor wanted to go out to "cheese sauce" for dinner for her birthday.  My grandparents and her Papa met us at our favorite mexican resteraunt.  Meme wasn't feeling good, so she couldn't make it.  We had a nice dinner and more presents.  The resteraunt brought Taylor and my Papaw a special birthday dessert.  My grandpa's birthday is the day before Taylor's.  He was 96 on the 6th of Feburary.  I'm so greatful they share such close birthdays.  I took a few pics of our family time.

Happy Birthday Taylor!

Sweet Christmas pics taken by mommy...

Yesterday was a hard day for me.  I have two VERY special people in my life that are going through some tough times.  It just seems like they just can't get a break!  It makes me sad!  I moaped around the house all day and got absolutely nothing done.   There is nothing in this world that makes me happier then taking pics of my beautiful babies.  So, I decided to take a few pics of them in their darling Christmas outfits in downtown Edmond.  I had so much fun just watching them together.  It just makes me realize how truly blessed I am. 







































Our favorite family verse:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.  Proverbs 3:5-6.

My new favorite wreath for under five dollars...



I wanted some cute wreaths for my windows but didn't want to spend a fortune on them.  I found this super cute wreath on a blog I follow (www.thenester.com).  So, when I found this cute wreath, I had to try it.



All you need is:

Any size wreath (depends on what size you are wanting)  I used a medium size wreath I got from Hobby Lobby.  It was a cheap green styrofoam wreath I got for $3.00 with my 40% coupon.

Large coffee filters (white or brown)  I used white but I'm going to try the natural coffee filters next time for a different look.  I got a few boxes because I didn't know if I would have enough, but I just ended up using one box.  It was about $1.50/box at Walmart.

Ribbon (to hang wreath).  I love Hobby lobby or Michaels for my ribbon.  If it's not on sale wait and use a %40 off coupon.

Hot glue gun


I didn't really know how to get started, so I just started folding the coffee filters in thirds and started gluing.  I just started layering and layering.  It took me about an hour to finish.  I left the back side flat so the wreath would lay flat.  I just glued my ribbon on the back when I finished with the wreath. You can change out your ribbon for different holidays or just pick some really cute ribbon that will match your decor.  For under five dollars you can enjoy this wreath all year long.
