My daughter got married today!

I can't believe it! Donna and Stephen got married tonight! Gosh time just flies by so fast! Yesterday she was a baby on my hip, today she is a wife! Or at least it seems that way. I'm a little in shock, I think. It happened so fast. It was a very small private ceremony. Her dad married them in the church she grew up in, with me and her grandmother and his Aunt and Uncle as witnesses. They are already headed off to their honeymoon!

Our Barbie Mall

I have been inspired to make the girls a Barbie house, actually a Barbie mall. We have been watching lots of videos on YouTube how to make everything Barbie. It started out with a bookcase my mom gave me. Originally it was going to be a house but then we decided that we wanted it to be a mall.


This is the bookcase turned on its side. Shane said he could build me 2 shelves splitting it into 4 rooms. The top is going to be a food court. I think we will put a rail on the top.

This room is our pet store. The other half will be a toy store. I still have a lot to do on the pet store. It needs trim separating the printed paper from the solid paper. I'm thinking white ribbon. and I need to paint the shelf hanging on the wall and we still need to make some more cages, toys and shampoo bottles.It's coming along pretty nicely though.

Close-ups of the pet store. Oh I need a cash register also.

Our fish tank. We love it!

The rabbit cage. We have 4 rabbits but the kids took 3 off somewhere. We still need to make the water bottle but I need a straw. All of this was inspired by myfroggystuff. You can watch videos of her making everything on YouTube. Super Awesome!

We Are officially On Christmas Break-YEAH!

Our Christmas break started officially yesterday. I am soooo ready for a break! I had to force myself to school last week. Christmas is not for school-it's to bake and cuddle on the couch and watch movies and make crafts and look at lights and go to Christmas plays and all that. We plan on taking the whole month off and not starting back until January 7.

Getting Our Christmas Tree 2012!

We went Saturday to the Merket Christmas Tree Farm to get our tree. This has been our tradition since I was pregnant with Kyle. Before we go to the tree farm we drive to Marshall so the kids can ride the train. Then we go get our tree. This year was super fun. The weather was perfect not at all cold. Donna invited her fiancee and Ashley invited her boyfriend. Becca and her family followed us to the farm in Shane's truck.

When we got home I cooked a big pot of spaghetti, put on some Christmas music and we decorated the tree. I had made up some puppy chow and sugared pecans and I bought some cookies so we had plenty of snacks. It was fun. We made some good memories.
