Fall Family Fun

It is a RARE day when we get the whole family together as we did this past weekend.
We had a fun , fun time taking family photos, going to a corn maze, taking a hay ride
and just hanging out. I wanted to share a few of the pics that we captured.

Above are all our grands except that one that is due in May. lol. If Ainsley looks unhappy
it isn't because she didn't have a sucker. She had one and didn't want it. Thought I better
clear that up right away. ha!

Two of the grands singing Karaoke at the corn maze.
Don't they look the part??!!

The little girls singing LET IT GO from Frozen. The DJ took a video of them singing and put it
on his facebook page. Little stars in the making. :)

The corn maze was fun, but really all it is is exercise disguised as fun! I found that out
a few years ago, but it was still a blast.

I was really beginning to get bummed because according to the weather forecast it was
supposed to rain, rain, rain and rain some more, but it held off for us until after the photos
and after the corn maze fun. We started the bonfire when it was dark and it started
pouring so thankfully we got most of the plans in. 

My oldest son Jason and his beautiful family. The plan was to have the bean stubble
still in the fields for the pics, but as fate would have it the renters plowed the field
 a few days before!!
They haven't plowed it for years and years ...until this year. I need to hang a sign
next year...:)

The kids took several photos of the mister and I. I am so annoyed. He had a gray shirt to wear, but
in all the hustle and bustle I forgot all about it so it is what it is. Hopefully next time I will
be a little more organized.

Sweet little Korrah

All our grands with us. Ages are from 1 year old to 16 years old. YIKES!
How did we get here in life? The years just fly by now.

The boys...Joshua...the little guy in the middle is always making faces. You would
not believe how many poses I got of him. 

I think this was my DIL idea. It turned out pretty neat although I think hubby and I should
have switched places. 

Smooch, smooch...another baby on the way in this family.

Remember earlier how I said it is a rare occasion to get our whole family together?
Well, our SIL Matt is missing from this family. He was in Japan again for his work.
Maybe someday we can get him in the photo.

Goofy, silly, fun!

So this is our family and we love each and every one of them. Thankful for Gods blessings
each and every day!!

Playing with Photos~

Can you tell what I did late last night?

While everyone else was all snug in their beds...

{no visions of sugarplums here...lol}

I got out my toys and played around with photographs ~

It is hard to pick a favorite...

I like them all ~

But if I had to pick

I would pick the postage stamp photo ~

{You can play too at Bighugelabs}

Blessings~

Altered Pillow~

Have you been to the blog *DREAM IN CREAM*? I have loved the pillows on their site ever since I visited so I decided to make my version. This is my first attempt and I love how it turned out ~

I added an old lace piece, vintage photograph and a piece of 1894 ledger paper~ A vintage millinery flower ~ An old button and lace~

We are going to a park today to spend some time with our son and 2 year old granddaughter and I hope to get some nice spring pictures.(if it warms up) Have a blessed day ~

Neutral Shades of Inspiration ~

I do love my *PINK* , but I also love neutral tones in my decor. Most of these pictures were taken in my living/dining room. Love this wreath hanging on a huge old mirror ~ My favorite lampshade ~

The best lampshade finial ever that is on the lampshade above ~

A picture in my home that fits right in my decor ~

Love this old book titled *MILDRED*...isn't she beautiful ~

I purchased this mitten garland several years ago and it is still one of my favorite decorating pieces. It is made with old tin ceiling tile and has tallow berries on the mittens and giant leaves (maybe magnolia) strung between them. The leaves were green at one time, but not anymore. Love it!

I woke up to more snow again and I just want winter to be over. Usually I really don't mind winter, but I think we have had more than our fair share this year. I know I need to be thankful that I even woke up today and that I am alive so I will try to focus on that...but please no more snow...:)

Today is my day to watch my sweetie granddaughter *ANNIKA* so I must get busy if I am to get anything else done before she arrives. Blessings to you all today ~
