Falling down the Rabbit Hole

This year for my sweet Aubrey's 6th (gasp!) birthday I am doing an Alice in Wonderland theme.  I have been gathering ideas for about a year now and I wanted to post some of the best on here to use for your party inspiration.

Christmas Time...

We PACKED our Christmas with activities.  During Christmas Break I was home maybe three nights.  It was exhausting, but so much fun! We started the break down in the valley. McCormick Train Park, shopping, Zoo Lights, shopping, Phoenix First Assembly Christmas Pageant, shopping, Glendale Glitters, shopping, the AZ Festival of Lights, and of course shopping! We had Christmas at my Mom's house and the next day we were off to Disneyland - courtesy of my in-laws. Great trip despite record number of people (100k) rainy conditions, and of course snow on the way home.  I had to go back to work to take a break!

Soooo far behind in blogging...

I am so far behind in updating this (again). So instead of a bunch of little post I am going to group them into sections. So without further ado, here is fall in pictures.

Remembering Dad

It's been a little over two months since my Dad passed away.  It doesn't get any easier with time...at least not yet.  My coping mechanism is to be super busy all the time.  It works for the most part.  But with Christmas almost here I miss him more than ever.  Eventually I will get a tribute post up. (When I have the capacity to go through all the pictures again) but here are some beautiful (weird to say considering the circumstance) pictures of the funeral that my cousin Becky took.  I love you Daddy! Merry Christmas!!

How I remember him - always so happy! I miss you Dad, so much!

Our Busy September

This month isn't even over yet, but we have been so busy.  So instead of a bunch of little post - here is what we have been up to in September.  Sweet Corn Festival, AWANAS, Gardening, Weddings, and enjoying (a so far very hot) fall! I took most of these pics with my phone and I don't think I uploaded them right because the resolution is a little funny - sorry!

Look Mom, tattoos!

 I had so much fun decorating for this party!

Yee Haw! Sweet Corn Festival 2010

 First horse ride ever!

 Is the parade going to start yet?

 I love how patriotic our little town is! Happy Labor Day!

The field by our house was full of wild flowers and we had so much fun taking some pictures in the middle of it all!
