So excited!!!!

I'm so pumped!!! As of this morning I have officially been booked for my 16th wedding for 2009! Guess where this one is???? CANCUN MEXICO! The bride lives in Ohio so I haven't met her yet, we've only emailed. I am so excited to venture into destination weddings! The best part is being able to go to tropical locations and get paid for it!

My wonderful amazing family gave me my dream camera for Christmas!!! Thank you Chris, Craig and Nancy for being so supportive of my business and my dreams! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Check it out! Isn't it fabulous!?! So far there's only one other person in St Cloud that owns this camera (according to the Central Camera) This camera was just released at the end of November so most stores don't have it yet. I am so excited!!!!!

Broken tooth

I woke up this morning to a text message from Bill with a picture of T's mouth with a half broken tooth (picture below is from my phone) and a message that said, "Call the Dentist". So I was a little frantic when I saw my baby with a broken tooth! What happened was they were wrestling and T hit her tooth on the edge of the couch and broke it. She is all fixed now thanks to our AWESOME friend Dave who happens to be a dentist! Thank you Dave!!! Dave said there wasn't any nerve damage so she should be ok, but we need to watch it over the years and she will probably need a crown someday. Nothing like just getting out of braces and busting your front tooth huh??? The wire on the back of her teeth from the orthodontist had to come off to fix her tooth, so she's also getting a new wire today. What a morning!

Fargo Trip

When we were in Fargo, my Dad took us to an egg farm. The girls loved it! Of course the kitties was their favorite part. This egg farm ships all their eggs to a plant that makes egg substitute products, but it's also open to the public to come out and pick your own eggs at a $1 a dozen.

Visiting Santa

I'm pretty sure in the second photo that T is telling Santa she wants another puppy :) Oh wait! I think her mom is sending her a telepathic message to ask Santa for another puppy!

Fabulous concert!

We went to the Rock-n-Roll Christmas concert last night at the Pioneer Place/Veranda. It was so great!!! All the shows are sold out but they just added a matinee! If you can, you should see it! It's on Tuesday Dec 23rd at 3:30pm. I love the Veranda! They have over 225 wines to choose from! Another great place for food and wine is Mi Famiglia! My favorite wine that I've had there so far is Ceretto Dolcetto d' Alba. It was so yummy! On Thursdays they do $5 glasses of wine! The also have the best eggplant rollatini! It's worth going just for that!

We made it safe and sound

We're home from Fargo and the blizzard only kept us there an extra day. It was a nasty one though. They even closed the mall and grocery stores. I'll post a few pictures of our trip soon. I'm busy trying to wrap Christmas presents and watch my favorite holiday movies. These are two of my favorite! I think everyone should watch them if they have time during this busy season!

not feeling well

So we have all been sick this weekend. The girls are home from school today. This flu bug is lasting forever. It started with Kylah not feeling well at gymnastics Friday night and she wouldn't stop practicing because she wanted to get her front hip circle on bars...which she MADE!!! YEA KYLAH! So Saturday morning she got up and said she felt fine so we all went down to the Minneapolis Convention Center for their meet. Kylah ended up with a fever and we pumped her full of Tylenol because she refused to sit out and not compete. What a trooper! She is truly dedicated to what she does. Nothing could convince her to sit out. She still did a great job fever and all. Taylor did an awesome job too! (I will post pictures soon) We came home and we laid low and then I got sick that night and Taylor got sick the next morning. So don't come near us if you want to stay healthy! Hopefully this will pass quickly and we can get healthy for our trip to Fargo this weekend.

long weekend

We had a relaxing long weekend at the cabin over Turkey day. We just hung out and watched movies and sat in the hot tub. I brought my computer so I can keep playing catch up on work. Chris cleared off the biggest skating rink I've ever seen on a lake for the girls! It's AwEsOmE!!! We can't wait to go back and use it again! The girls made some great pumpkin bread last week. Taylor is huge into cooking and making up her own recipes. This causes quite a mess, but fun for her to experiment! The girls took turns mixing the batter. Check out their adorable aprons Sarah made for them!
