A BUNCH of Catch UP!!!!

 

 

 

 Wow!  It's been a while since we have posted pic with activities!  I admit it...I've been slacking!  Hopefully things will start to pick up and I will get back in the swing of things!Well first up we have Berklie's fall festival at school! She wanted to be Minnie Mouse this year, so I made her costume and off we went!  Next, my 31st bday with all my girls at Painting with a Twist!  So much fun, and I have to say I have the best friends a girl could ask for!  I had friends come from all over Texas!  Absolutely LOVE my girls!  They have helped me so much over the years and have had so much to do with who I have become as a woman!  The in late November was my nephew John Thomas and his wife Brenna's wedding at the Renaissance Festival.  It was so much fun!  We all dressed up and had a great time!  Berklie was a flower fairy!  She and my niece Sofia were A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!  I'll try to get more pictures of that event and post.  It was awesome!  Now, on to Christmas with the family at Mimi and Papa's house!  Everyone as usual had blast!  Then arrives spring and flower and kite flying galore!  Lastly, Lexi had her Jr/Sr prom this year!  Crazy to think she will be a senior this coming school year!  Time flies!!!!!!!!    I had the honor of doing her makeup for the big event!  She looked absolutely beautiful!  She had a fun time too.  Flint had the regional track meet, so he had to meet up with her at prom (which was at South Fork Ranch where they filmed/film the TV show Dallas) to take a few pics.  Most kids would have been mortified, but she didn't mind at all!  Enjoy all the pics and I promise there will be more frequent post to come!  :o)

My oldest nephew got married at the Ren Fest in Plantersville the day after Thanksgiving! Berklie was a flower fairy!  I made her's and Sofia's dresses and wings, so she had to try on the dress for them on Thanksgiving day for a preview!  It was so much fun!

Berklie had the best time looking at all the dresses and choosing which one was her favorite!
