Vote for......

Googiemomma

but the trick is figuring out which craft the Googiemomma made.

Go on "So You Think You're Crafty" and cast your vote for your favorite craft.

I was featured here.....

THAT'S RIGHT!
I'm a star, ok superstar!
I made it to a famous blog,
ok well not (quite) famous but in my eyes..She should be famous!

and when I grow up, I wanna be just like my little (well, a few years younger) cousin Shannon.

Check out her blog if you haven't already but make sure you have nothing to do that day..it will suck you right in!

Similarities

Everyone has mixed thoughts on who my sister Bridget looks like
(?Mount or Carroll?)
Personally,
I think Carroll all the way
(although, she acts like my dad)

this week, we spend alot of time with family
and these 2 really do look alike.
(Carroll)

Kerri told Bridget how she makes a face just like hers..so I was trying to get a pic of it, but we were laughing so hard, Kerri had a hard time keeping it together!

and then there is Olivia, who shares the same middle name as Bridget (McKendry)

and even almost the same size hands!

So full of life......

Today we lost my cousin Rita ~

One of the happiest girls I knew!

So cheerful, with a smile on her face all the time.

She was so strong, such a fighter.

So inspirational and such a hero to so many people around her! 



Rita you will be terribly missed

but I hope you knew how happy your

smiling face made everyone around you!

I miss you and love you forever Rita Burrita.......

Bridget loved her Coach make-up bag

and this year we changed things up a bit 

and all had dinner together.

Wasn't it just June last week?

Summers over...and...Fall has begun!

I love everything about Fall...

Uncle Randy was trying to teach Gyllyan how to ride without training wheels
however,
he had to put them back on after this!

a day at the beach

We had such a GREAT day at Seaside yesterday ~ beautiful weather all day long!

And to top it off, we saw The Situation, JWoww & Ronnie from "Jersey Shore" that they were filming right near their store on the boardwalk.

Easter

We did our usual, breakfast at Aunt Terri's & then dinner at our house. I love, love having all of my family around!

No pics of the people, just the puppies in their Easter attire!

Shannon's 40th Birthday

Last night we threw a surprise party for her and tonight we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse.

She swore she wasn't getting on the saddle but she would wear the balloon hat....but....WE WON!
