Laura's Wedding

Here are some pictures of the bride and groom. It was a beautiful day and we had a wonderful time. I think that by the end of the day, my feet had swollen to become about twice the size they were suppose to be. Besides that, it was BEAUTIFUL! Although, I think that we (the family) are happy to have that BUSY day behind us.

Here they are! Mr. & Mrs. Miller!!

The first of many kissy photos...

Me and my extremely preggo self. I consider it a family photo.... Andrew is definitely there with us!!

Cutting the yummy cake!!

I'm sure I'll probably post a few more photos, and once Lollie and Chris have their own blog up and running, I'll be sure to let you all know!!

P.S. The bride and groom are now on their way to their honeymoon.... A cruise to the Bahamas!!

AAHH!!

My little sister, Laura, is getting married in 8 days!! I can't believe that little Lollie is getting hitched! (I'm so excited for she and Chris, they are so cute!)

Here's a pic of their announcement. My mom and sister made them! Fancy!

On another note - I go to Georgia tomorrow! Yipee!

Summertime Goodness

Behold, The Whoopie Pie.

This is a Stinson family delicacy. (At least Morgan treats them that way!) I was introduced to them last summer in Maine and oh are they yummy! I thought that it was time that I tried my hand at these.... I have been nervous because all Morgan has to compare them to are his moms (which are amazingly good).... and.... it was a success!!! He said that they tasted really good. He complemented me a few times about them :-) He said that if he were to close his eyes and eat one it would be like he were in Maine... so I think that's a good thing!

Yeay for summertime treats!

I LOVE Freebies!!

For the past few months I have been signing up for freebies that you can get in the mail. I have gotten a good amount of free stuff from cereal to deodorant to coupons. I really enjoy checking the mail since there is usually something exciting and free in the mail waiting for me! This week was a GREAT freebie week. I decided I would share my "winnings."

1. A health activity book for kids - I thought it would be nice to take to work and copy for the kiddies.
2. American Baby magazine
3. Ready Made Magazine
4. Country Home Magazine
5. Womans Day (I actually got 2 issues this week...)
6. 3 packet of Emergen-C and a 1.00 off coupon for a box. (I SWEAR by this stuff! It worked wonders for me in the fall - I didn't get too sick when all the kids at school were)
7. Reusable grocery bag and coupons for Earthbound Organic produce (I have completely switched to these bags - they hold SO much!)
8. Dove Deodorant and some dove coupons (which I already used!)
9. Old Spice body wash
10. Aquafresh toothpaste
11. A FULL sized Uncle Ben's Ready Rice! How Exciting! Those cost close to $3!! Plus a 1.00 off coupon!
12. Samples of Huggies soap and lotion for baby
13. Huggies baby wipes
14. 2 Huggies diapers


How exciting was that?!?!
I absolutely LOVE getting free magazine subscriptions! I'm a sucker for magazines, so getting them free is awesome.
It made my day. Ok, before you ask were I find these deals, let me list the websites that I check so you can get in on the fun....

The Crib Bedding is DONE!

Here are pictures of the crib bedding, made by yours truly!! I'm so proud of myself :-). I found this adorable fabric... I really like the Owls. I was initially hoping to find something that had forest animals on it - but I had NO luck - nothing on the Internet or anything. When I saw this - I just fell in love with it and the colors. Looks like this crib is ready for a little boy!

Dust Ruffle... I love the owls!

There you go! I hope you enjoyed it! I know I will :-)
