We had some TRICKS & TREATS last night!

Lyndsey, Skyler, & Harper came over with several treats! Delicious hot wings, Amazing artichoke spinach dip & Brewing apple cider!  We ate our HEARTS OUT! Then rolled to the front room for some "jazzy" Dancing Tricks!!  We have had a dance party with the Nelson's before but this was a top notch just dance reunion!


The Warm Up:

 

 It got REAL when the couch was moved into the nursery!

Shake IT!! The Nelson's:

 

Mr. Good lookin' aka Mr. SERIOUS Dancer had to change his clothes to get ready! ow ow! 

 Brittney Spears Action:

 I don't know that I was on the right move...EVER... I just kept trying to bug Mr. Dancing Machine D.

As you can tell, we "let out hair down" & had a blast! The whole house was shakin'!

**** Just proof that Camry was present, until she went to bed. Harper was here to but went to bed before the cameras were out!

Good Distractions!

While I was putting final thought into my Young Women's lesson for church today, I found a few things:

My lesson is on the ability to succeed and this was a recommended video - I love it! Be True!

I found this on Pinterest!!! So in LOVE!!  The Whole Alphabet Banner!!!

  I made these this morning with scrapbook paper:

BE TRUE is for my lesson today! 
& GIVE THANKS is going to go up in a few days with some twine and clothes pins. 
WOW, its almost November!!!

  Happy Sunday!

White Space! with Suzette!

Last night, I went to a seminar where Daniel's fabulous cousin, Suzette presented organization tips!

Our house needs to be organized so bad! Now to find the motivation!!!

Suzette has created a neat business called White Space Organizing! Check it out! www.whitespaceorganizing.com

Attached to her site is also a terrific blog with more tips! White Space Blog

Tonight, I jotted some notes... Hoping they help me & they may help you!
So simple but so SMART!

Suzette's organization strategy is as follows:
1 - Envision (make goals, create a vision!)
2 - Make time (Set aside a couple hours at a time.)
3 - Purge (few hours at a time, get rid of stuff you don't need.)
4 - Review the flow (Order is important.)
5 - Shop (for containers etc.)
6 - Do it (attack, follow through with your plan.)
7 - Maintain (daily, weekly, etc.)

Duh! I need to follow these steps!!!
I super need to purge!!  Due to the emotions this brings as well as being overwhelmed, she suggested just doing this a few hours at a time.
Here are some other tidbits I jotted down:

• purge clothes every year. (I need to do this stat! I just opened my winter jackets... I don't like half of them!)
• use certain closets for certain things "like things go together" (Wish I had real closets, haha.)
• At the store, ask yourself:  Can I afford it? Where am I going to put it? 
• Get rid of something & replace... continue to purge! Things should go out in equal measure! (SO true! Why don't I do this!)
• Someone shared you don't have to get things because you like it or if someone else likes it... let them buy it and you can admire from a distance.
• Don't buy new hangers!!! Get rid of something instead! 

See totally simple & smart, now I need to apply some of these! Yikes, it will be a slow process here. :)

Mustache...

As some of you already know... Daniel decided to grow out some facial hair while working out of town.  The deal was he could have it while working in CO.  Man, oh man, it stuck around over a month!!!

Here is a flash back!

This trip our goal was to have Fancy Grandma make some necklaces!

We did it...

She made me one this morning while I got ready!  She made several for Camry too!

 Modeling for Aunt Mary! :)

 Wish we lived closer to Grandma Vicki!

 She is one talented and stylish Grandma!
Hope she comes back soon!

She wanted proof that she soaked in some "Fall"!

Halloween's coming!!!

i love US!

My new FAVORITE saying 

"i love US!"

It's always fun to have someone take our pictures! (Thanks, Mom!) Not that I love being in pictures but I love when the three of us are in them together!

 True story... this is often our look!

 I adore this baby girl! So grateful to be with her all the time!
