It's nice....

when you have beautiful best friends that will come to your house, play dress-up and let you take pictures. :)

Sometimes......

I have to let an event or situation marinate inside my head and heart for awhile before I can put into words how I feel about it.

Last year I wanted to go to SisLive so badly, but by the time I found about it I had already committed to shooting my first wedding. It ended up working out because my dad was so sick and I really don't think that I would have that much fun because I would have been so preoccupied.

After I missed out, I was determined to go this year. Sis has been a huge part of my life. I have made quite a few wonderful friends and I love that we have so much in common. Although I have been lucky enough to meet some in real life, there were definitely more that I felt like I needed to meet.

I am so glad I went. I only wish the weekend would have been longer.

I had the best roomies ever.

Judean aka Hooch is wicked funny and exactly the same as I thought she would be.

Lori aka NPL is so incredibly sweet 

and an awesome drinking buddy.

We cropped a ton.....

were entertained by karaoke and dancing.

We got to meet Frisky Fiskarsons and cropped with her Saturday and Sunday.

And we spent time with lots of good friends.

I am so happy that I got to see Aimee and Julie again. It was nice to see some familiar faces.

It was wonderful to spend lots of time with Lori, Judean, Erin, Aimee, Steph, Tracy, and Jamie.

It was great taking classes from Martha, Stacey and Nikki.

I wish I would have spent more time with Sandy, Julie, the other Julie, Nikki, Sasha, Amy, Michelle and countless others.

I wish I actually would have met Danielle, Larissa and Jennifer P.

Next year, I hope that Dani, Rhi, Mandy and Chez can all come. 

:)

I think that sums it as much as I can. It was soooo fun and I'm really glad that I went.

Happy 4th!!

Have a safe and wonderful holiday weekend!!

I want to know.....

who looks at my blog. See that little counter on the right. Someone always visits multiple times and it says United States and they use Internet Explorer. I wonder who it could be????

My curiosity is piqued.

I think that this person should leave a comment.....

don't you???

A few layouts....

I still have to edit my pics from the weekend. I only took about 5. :o!! What kind of scrapper am I?

Anyways, here are the layouts that I made in TN and I will be back with another post soon.

Be back soon.....

Back home again....

and I had so much fun. I met some amazing people, created a ton of new stuff, and I am so glad that I went.

I am happy to be home with the kids. I feel like they have grown so much over the past few days. ;) I won't really see Scott until tomorrow night because I got home so late last night and he has school tonight. :(

I will be back with a post on Wednesday....

Have a wonderful day!

One more sleep...

and I am off to Nashville. I leave at 4am tomorrow and begin my 10 hour journey. 

I am super excited and only have a few more things to get packed and done and I will be ready to go.

I'll be back on Monday so have a fabulous weekend!

Father's Day Recap....

Big breakfast. Lounging around. A picnic in the park.

 

Five.

Five guys. Five men that I am lucky enough to have in my life. Five people who have taught me different things. Five people who have decidedly changed my life for the better........

Bobby Z.

Even though there are no blood or marital ties, he is a member of my family. My best friend's dad. One of the sweetest, caring men that I have ever known. He is an amazing husband and such an incredibly loving father. I am so lucky that the Zuckerman family is in my life.......

Doug

He has been with my mom since I was 13 years old. He has always been there, silent but still attentive. He is a wonderful grandfather to my children and a great role model for my husband. He is honorable, and I know he would do anything to protect his family....always.

Papa Tom

He is the only father-in-law that I have ever known and is such a supportive and kind man. He teaches my children that it's important to serve your community, that it's important to pursue your goals and education, that it's nice to help out with the dishes at holiday parties ;), and that family matters. 

Dad

It's my first father's day without him and I miss him so much it hurts. I wish he was here to see how much the kids have changed, how much the world is changing, how much we all still love him. I wish I could call him today.....or give him a hug.

Scott

The father of my kids. The one that is still growing and changing all the time. The one that is working to make this world a wonderful place for his children and grandchildren to live.

He is an amazing dad and loves his children so much......

I feel so lucky that my children will have that in their lives. 

Maybe next year he will be a father of three??? ;)

Happy Father's Day to the five of you and all the other wonderful dad's that I know and love!!!

She's got bangs.....

and she knows how to use them. ;)
