Ashlee and Antiques

So the bestie and I had another "AshleEY Day" recently!  We ALWAYS have so much fun!  We went to Weatherford again, and found a few amazing treasures!!

At our FAVORITE antique mall...Miss. B's.  If you are ever in Weatherford, Texas stop on in and take a look at all the lovlies housed in one very big store!  This pic shows just a few of the things they have outside...tables, chairs, planters, milk cans and LOTS more!

Ashlee...all beautiful and stuff...

My biggest find was this vintage sled!!!  EEEeeeKKK!!  I was so excited...mostly because I only paid $30!!  I've seen these go for $200 before!!  Whoa!  I cannot wait to decorate with it AND use it for props this Christmas!

And here are my other finds...1 GINORMOUS jar of old spools {which I used to make my Heart project HERE}, BINGO cards {already made a craft out of these..pics to come soon}, number cards and a #6 domino {projects to come later}. 

  

Not a huge haul, but things I REALLY wanted!!!  That is always a good feeling...searching for just the right vintage/antique item that was exactly what you pictured!!  Whoohoo!!

Can't wait for more AshleEY time!!

13 years of Wedded Bliss

Joseph...I love you so very much sweetheart!!  You mean the world to me, and I can't thank you enough for all that you do for me and our family.  We have had a crazy, wild, fun, exhausting, fantastic ride.  And I am so glad I bought that ticket all those years ago.  XOXO...me

Rhymes Photo Shoot!

I recently had fun taking pics of a super sweet family!  We were aiming for some good pics mostly of Drew...and if time permitted...and everyone was up to it, we would do a few family pictures.  Drew and his brother Ethan were great!!  Such sweet little and toothless grins!!  

Thanks Rhymes Family!! :)

Breslyn and Owen GRADUATE {preschool}!!

It finally happened...preschool "graduation"!!  I now have a baby going into the 3 year old class and a big girl going into Kinder.  Pardon me while I blow into my tissues!!!

I wish it could have been a more fun night, but with all the stress of corralling all of our littles, making sure my entire family had seating {plus Ashlee having a good seat for taking photos}, one of our kiddos promptly puking all over our floor as we were lining up to walk down and the hubs being in a bit of a foul mood, it wasn't the most enjoyable.  But that is okay.  :)

It was a great ceremony and reception...we had almost all our kids parents come up and ask if we would be back next year...and could we teach their kiddos again!!!  Um...YES!!  What a compliment knowing that the kids like us so much they want us again.  I thoroughly enjoyed this year, and was even sad for it to be over.  I am excited for next year {expecially when it comes to picking a theme for the classroom!!!!}!  Teehee!

Here are some pics from our evening!!!

I'm ready Mom!

Can I play now?

Mom, this is me winking.  Momma, I'm winnkin too!

Happily walking down for graduation...

Keegan with a HUGE bubble in his mouth...love when the kiddos obey..."bubble in your mouth and hands behind your back" UNLESS you are holding the teacher's hand!!

She was a LiTtLe EXCITED!!

Mrs. Sara, our wonderful director and an awesome boss!!  I am so blessed to be teaching under her!

I'm glad that my kids have had such a good year!!  Watch out summer...two crazy littles are free!!

On the Road Again

Although my parents and Grandma aren't AS excited as we are to be going on vacation soon...my favorite part of the whole process is getting to spend time with my family while on the journey!!  Just felt like reminiscing a little...via 2009 and 2011...

On the road again...

I just can't wait to get on the road again...

The life I love is making music with my friends...

And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again...

Going places that I've never been...

Seeing things that I may never see again...

And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again...

Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway...

We're the best of friends...

Insisting that the world keeps turning our way...

And our way..... is ON THE ROAD AGAIN!!! 

  

I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
