Picture Event

 Oh yes! This IS an event!! To coordinate everything..time..clothing..location..poses..EVERYTHING!! We also have to consider height..hair styles..shirt color..and such..because we don't like Leslie and I next to each other because of our hair..and Leslie and Samantha's shirt color is so similar..ahh too complicated!

We decided this year to do pictures at Bart's parents' house in Amity. We also went to Uncle Willy's pond nearby. The first two pictures are my favorites..I especially like the one in the pine trees! Since we don't do Christmas cards anymore..too much $$..we're just printing pictures and carrying them with us..so if you see one of us..and you haven't received a picture yet..just ask!

Planetary Alignment?!? Say What?!?!

So Randy calls me Wednesday night and asks me what my broom is doing?!? I was completely confused..and a little freaked out, none the less. He informed me that all, or most, of the planets were aligned that night and if you'd stand a broom upright, that it would stand all by itself. So I grabbed my broom out of my front closet and plopped it in the middle of my living room..and..IT STOOD UP!! I didn't even try to make it stand..I just set it in the middle of the floor..and it stood up!! How creepy is that!! He told me this would not happen again for another 99 years so I should take a picture of it..CRAZY!! Rylan and I sat and stared at it for awhile...we were sooo amazed.. :-) HA! You can totally tell that he's more interested in the TV than the broom standing up!

Fun in Chicago

These are some of the pictures from our adventure in Chicago. The people in the hotel thought we were nuts when they saw us with our hair like this. TOO FUNNY!! We jumped on the beds and ran around like a bunch of crazy freaks! Great times!!

Our Project

Cheryl and I did a project last night and today. This is the final product! Check it out! It's a historical landmark in downtown Arlington Heights, Illinois. We had a blast this weekend and learned a TON of exciting things!!

Crazy Week/Weekend

What a crazy life we live! Rylan is in Indy at National FFA Convention until Saturday, he left early Wednesday morning for it. I'm in Chicago(Schaumburg/Arlington Heights) at a Multimedia Conference. We left last night after our class...arrive around 11..and drove the whole way in the stupid rain! I won't get home until Sunday night...and then we're back to school on Monday..AHHH!! Things are just nuts around our house. I'm sick of the rain, however, I hope it rains at our house tonight so we don't get TP'd!! We're incredibly sick of getting TP'd! My conference is beginning and I'm really excited about it..lots of new technology!! We're using Macs..and I LOVE THEM!!!

Happy Birthday to My Blog!!

It has been a year since I started this whole blogging thing! Can you believe it?!? I knew whenever Parent/Teacher Conferences rolled around that it was about this time last year that I started this blog. And yesterday and today we've have P/T Conferences..I've had no parents..none..zilch..nada..so..it's been real fun today! Last night I had class..so I didn't have to sit around all evening..although I did have to take a 1/2 a personal day to go to class..pretty crazy huh? So today I've been working on my paper for class..updating websites..planning for next week..and such. FUN FUN!! Jesse's home this weekend..and we're planning to go eat tonight and then maybe go out for A drink. ;-) ha

Crochet Hats

So I've been crocheting some hats and I'm so excited that I'm able to just pick up and run with it..especially since I haven't crocheted since I was a Freshman at Eastern. They are so adorable!! I am going to work on some scarves and put them on here too.

The infant/toddler/children hats are $15..scarves are $20 and adult hats are $20..scarves are $25. You can customize them any way you want..color..flower size..etc. The silk flowers do come off, whereas the crochet flowers are tied on..I can also layer the crochet flowers up to 3 layers deep.

I have so many ideas and whenever I get time to sit down and crochet some more this weekend..I'll do so and post pictures of them! I've had many high school students in my classes as for hats to match their winter coats..they love them! Let me know if you'd like one..any color and any size..

This one is for Travis and Amy Tarr's little girl..Marlee Belle..she was born yesterday afternoon. I got her brown cowboy boots with pink threading...so I made her a hat to match! TOO CUTE!!
