{I'd better start workin' on my "twang"}

Because this mama is heading to Nashville!

On Wednesday morning I will be joining thousands of other moms for an annual MOPS convention being held at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee! I am so excited and can't wait to hear some amazing and entertaining speakers as well as attend a concert Saturday night featuring Matt Redman, Matthew West, Plumb, & Natalie Grant just to name a few! The convention will include over 100 “mom resource” exhibitors, general sessions, and practical workshops ranging from grace-based parenting to creative activities for your children, and targeting many types of mothers – from busy moms to teen moms!

In case you were wondering, Mops stands for Mothers of Preschoolers and is open to any
mom or soon to be mom with a child in Preschool and younger! To learn more about MOPS you can visit the home page here or to find a local group near you, go here!

Birthday Party Pictures::

Norahs birthday party was July 25th.
Today is September 8th.
Yes, I am a little behind.

We had so much fun planning this event. With the help of some amazing friends we were able to get everything together just in the nick of time! Steves and his friends were literally helping us finish building our deck within an hour of people showing up! All of us girls, worked into the night cooking like crazy! I could not have done it without them. Thank you all for helping make Norahs day so special.

Unfortunatley, my camera was out of commission for the party so I was unable to take any pictures. Thank you Angela, Danielle, Suzie and Amy for playing photographer for the day!

Here is the sign I made::

Two Thumbs Up:: 3D experience


Steven and I were able to sneak away for a date night on Friday! We have an awesome neighbor girl who offered to take the kids off our hands for a few hours. I had figured dinner and a movie would be the plan but I took a double take when Steven asked if I needed to go to Joanns for anything. I couldnt turn him down and ended up getting some really cute fabric for 3 nursing covers! After shopping we splurged on some Black Angus for dinner..it was quite yummy! We have wanted to see "The Final Destination" for awhile now, and when we saw it was playing at our local theater we were so excited to finally be able to see it. We assumed we were going to a regular showing, but it turns out we were in store for a 3d version instead. I have never been to anything like it before and I must say, it was an awesome experience! It made the graphics so much more real and I found myself jumping more than usual. We got some pretty cool glasses to take home too :) The movie was really good but I think the 3d effects are what made it so much scarier. I highly suggest you do it at least one time just to see what Im talking about!

Are you ready??






....for some
Football??

You could probably tell my my favorite team is the
Seattle Seahawks and I sure my husband would agree, but a very close second place would be the University of Washington, Huskies. Do you have a favorite team? It doesn't have to be football either :)
