My Little Diva

We spent a few days in Hot Springs over spring break. I loved this brick wall and wanted to get some pictures of the kids in front of it. The girl took over!!!

She was out of control!!! She decided she needed the umbrella in the pictures with her. The rest is history!!!
Have a great day!!!

Memory Villa Retreat

This was the gorgous sunset at Petit Jean Mountain where the Memory Villa Retreat was held!! There were awesome views and some very inspiring ladies there!! I am so glad that I ventured out by myself!!! I had a few reservations about attending something like this and not knowing anyone.....that didn't last long. I met some pretty amazing ladies this weekend!! They are all very talented!!!

This is a canvas that the Amazing April Derrick made to give away at the retreat. Guess who won it....Yeah Me!!!! I love it!!! This picture does not do it justice at all. They had tons of give aways and surprises all weekend!! I cannot wait until next year!!!

Next I'll post some of the layouts that I completed!!! I was so inspired, that I completed 15 layouts!!! Can you believe it? That is with taking classes and doing make-and-takes and eating and chatting!!! It was great!!

I also met an amazing lady named Leanne Bull. She was so much fun and so entertaining!! Thank you Lianne for making the retreat so memorable!!

Until next time....................

Snow Day

It was 75 on Sunday............and now this!!!! Our forcast was for 1-3 inches. I think they missed it just a bit!!! The kids will have to get out and enjoy it today, because tomorrow will be in the 60's and sunny. This is the first significant snow we have had since we moved here. Rick hunted the sleds down this morning so the kids can go out and enjoy it. We have a large hill behind our house that the neighborhood kids sled down. I'll update with those pictures later!!

This is my neighbor across the street taking pictures. Just thought it was funny that we were both outside at 6:30 a.m. taking pictures of snow!!! Have a good day!!!

Spring is Almost Here

Here we are on our first hike of the season. It was warm, but overcast today. We are so ready for warm weather!!! My kids love hiking and whenever it is warm enough to go outside, they are begging to go!!! The color on these pictures is not to great, but I didn't take the time to mess with them!!!






It has been warm and sunny the past few days. The flowers and trees around here are getting confused. 72 today and a chance of snow tomorrow. I wonder if spring will ever get here!!!

Not much going on here. Kaitlyn had her last Upward game on Friday evening. I am glad about that!! Spencer's last wrestling meet is this Saturday. I will glad about that as well!! Now, baseball starts. It is a never ending cycle!!!



I was chosen as the Scrapbooker of the Month at our local Scrapbook Store for the month of March! Yea me!!! You get 30% off everything in the store for the entire month!!! Plus a goodie bag!!! I'm so excited!!!!

Check out Pioneer Woman's blog for a great recipe....Apple dumplings. I made them today and they are very easy and VERY good!!!! If you try them, let me know what you think.

That's it for now.......
