My horoscope today said I was in for a major do over in my life...

This will do......

The 2009 HGTV Dream Home located in Sonoma, California, and a new 2009 GMC® Acadia.

Worth more than $2 million dollars...

I guess I will give you the info so you can enter once a day through February 19, 2009 as well... but if you win and I don't I am coming to live with you...

Resemblance???

Hailie always reminds my family of someone, but we all couldn't put our finger on it..

Then my sister nailed it....

The Party...

A little late, but oh well...

New Years Eve and Mom and Geoff's wedding celebration..The Spread...Also, Mel and I spent hours working on a dessert bar that was breathtaking and nobody took a picture... humph Mike obviously approved of it though..

Just a glimpse of the "liquids"...
What was in that water GB?
The cousins... it has been a long time since we have all been together... The guests were getting a little "rowdy" before the countdown...

Shh, it is almost midnight and the champagne boy is coming around.....Wouldn't be New Year's without watching Dick Clark and the countdown...

Happy 2009!

Luke and Hailie tested.....

Mommy approved...
Remember this post I did about Crazy Forts ....
Well as I predicted this Christmas present has been a hit..
The only downfall is now I have to go to Target and buy more sheets to accomodate all of the crazy forts they are building!

We are so Happy and Thankful for a New Year and a Fresh Start..

Luke Story....

Last night.. Luke came in the middle of the night and woke me up..scared me half to death, and then he said "mommy, my hand is broken.." I sat up straight and was like what..what did you say..what happened.. and he said, " my hand isn't working" I took one look at him and laughed to myself a bit as he was holding out his limp hand.. and I said.. oh baby your hand just fell asleep.. and I started rubbing it and moving his fingers around telling him it would feel better in a minute.. he looked right up at me and said.."okay, but if it doesn't feel better soon I am just going to have it replaced with a robot hand..."

Can you tell my son is a little obsessed with STARWARS....

so funny.. they make me smile..

Wowzer!!

I don't drool over many "techi" things.. we all know that I am a fashion kind of gal... (put a pair of shoes in front of me and get the drool cup out) but MY GOODNESS... I don't just want this laptop... I NEED this laptop....
Seriously have you ever seen anything so extrordinary...
This HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam edition series makes my heart skip a beat...

So many activities..

20 bucks to the first person who can name what movie my title came from... hehe

Seriously though the last couple weeks have been insane..

My sister was in town from New York with her main man Mike and lots of family..fun..and craziness followed.. I have pictures though..oh yeah.. you know my amazing sis was on it..

First stop Prescott... and there is not a trip to Prescott that would be complete without a hunt for pine cones..

Lots of climbing involved...sometimes a little too high for nervous mommy Uncle Lance..
Such POSERS!
Looks like Luke won top prize for biggest ham in this photo shoot!

Shhhhh. Santa is coming....

Just us cousins hanging out and oh yeah..Mike(love my cousin Steph..poor husband was stuck with food poisioning.. so we had to give her lots of loving...)
