Kim's friends Bridal Shower

We had a little friends shower for Kim at my house a few weeks ago. It was really nice. Crystal, Mom, and Sandy all helped me make it extra special for little Kimbo. Thanks everyone for your help. I know Kim loved it.

Malachy and Madison helped Crystal and I taste test the green clover cookies! =)

My favorite friend Crystal turned 30 this year. We had a little dinner get together with some of our close friends to celebrate. I wish I could have done more. I hope Crystal knows how amazing she is and how loved she is not just by me but by so many people. Crystal you are an amazing Mother, Wife, Sister, and Friend and everyone who knows you is blessed by your relationship.

Hi Friends, Sorry no posts in such a long time, Honestly I have been exhausted and mildly depressed so when I'm home I'm sleeping or chilling with Malachy and not on the computer. I'm thinking I will feel better soon and I look forward to getting back to it then. =)

Malachy and Madisons b-day

Hi Friends, I definitely wanted to get more pictures then this up but I have been really exhaustively busy. So I'm sorry, here are a few. Also, Malachy was being kind of difficult and I was without my camera all night so I really didn't get any of Malachy in his costume that I really like. =( Oh well, you can kind of see in these that he was a knight. He ditched his helmet, shoulder armor, and sword 2 minutes into the party, but he was cute. The patry was the biggest thing that ever happened at my house basically. Thankfully, God blessed us with amazing weather because we would not have fit in the house. Also it was such a team effort! My Mom was the BIGGEST helper! She made so much yummy food and then prepared it and kept working the kitchen during the party. She was amazing and made it possible for Crystal and I to actually be with our kids, family, and friends at the party! Thanks so much Mom. I know how much work you did and I really appreciated it! Also Sandy made not 1 but 3 amazing cakes!! Homemade from scratch! They were soooo good! Everyone was super impressed and the were absolutely yummy. Crystal of course helped a ton too. She brought some great food and helped with a ton of cleaning. Sara, Kim, and Crystal parents also contributed. So we were really blessed. Thanks everyone it was a great night for Malachy and Madison. =)

Malachy is so cute!

PICTURES!!!

Kim still has my camera but I got some pictures developed from my "real" camera from my birthdat, August 20th. It was a fun day, I felt loved. Jason and Joey made it to the party too but some how I didn't manage to get a picture of them or Frankie!=(
