Birthday Celebration!

We're still celebrating Bailey turning 7!!!

and it's

FRIDAY FAVORITES!

 After her sleepover on Tuesday night these girls were up bright and early 

ready for waffles!

 After some playtime we got dressed and headed out for lunch at 

Chick-fil-a!

 Then we were off to Keepsake Pottery 

to get our craft on!

One of our favorite places in town to get in touch with your artistic side!

These girls had lots of fun picking out their pottery and painting it.

I can't wait to pick their pieces up next week.

 We rushed from pottery to Madison's volleyball game!

The Spence twins are giving Bailey some birthday love!

 After the game we came home got ready and rushed for dinner to celebrate Bailey's birthday at

Ken's Grill in La Grange.

 Bailey was super excited to open up a couple of gifts.

Madison got her this cute interactive dog that has been running around

our house everywhere!

 Bailey has been asking for this

Orbeez Luxury foot spa for a few weeks!

Sorry pic is a little blurry.

This was definitely one of her favorite gifts.

She has enjoyed playing spa with her Sissy!

 On Thursday, we ran to Walmart to pick up a few things for Bailey's party.

While I shopped I let them grab some lunch at Subway and later I came up on 

them like this.

What was I thinking????

Bailey was so excited about her little party!

She asked every 30 minutes, "How much longer before everyone comes?"

So we pretty much had a countdown for her party!

 The kids played and jumped on the trampoline.

 Madison joined them!

 After we ate hot dogs Bailey was ready to open her present!

 She got some great gifts!

Grandma Sandra bought her these Lilly and Laura bracelets so she

could be like her Mommy & Sissy.

These are great bracelets and so popular right now.

 A quick picture of everyone watching Bailey open her presents.

A big shout out to my friend, Laura for taking all these pics.

Thanks a bunch my dear friend!

 All the girls checking out Bailey's new bling!

Happy 7th Birthday Bailey!

My sweet baby girl is 7 today!!!

It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital!

Bailey has brought so much joy into our hearts.

Let's see how much she's grown up...

Her 1st birthday!

She's smart, sweet, girly, funny and so lovable!

We celebrated her birthday with a little sleepover last night!

 A quick snack before bath time.

 Lots of BUBBLES!!!!

No sleepover is complete without popcorn!

Happy 7th Birthday,

BAILEY BEAR!!!

We love you till the counting numbers end!!!!

Wedding Fun!

I am so blessed to know this sweet, beautiful and talented young lady.

The newly wed,

Mrs. Shannon Lane!

 Shannon is a lead teacher at the dance studio!

On Saturday, Madison and I got all dressed up to attend her wedding at 

The Duplin Winery in Rose Hill, N.C.

We've been looking forward to this all summer!

Some of her students from the studio also attended. 

Everything about this evening was perfect!

Shannon is by far the most beautiful bride I've ever seen!

Don't you agree??!!

Her dress was beautiful, her hair, her tan...EVERYTHING!!!

We sat with Taylor & Jordan and their boyfriends at the reception.

Although I was the oldest at this table I still had fun chatting and laughing with them.

I probably cramped their style a little, but we had FUN!

 Madison and I at the reception.

We socialized with everyone, ate a delicious meal and of course danced a lot!

 My niece Taylor and her boyfriend, Jeb that we all adore!

 One of my advanced dancers, Jordan and her boyfriend that I was able to meet for the first time, Justin!

Totally fell in love with this boy!

He's got the best personality and most importantly...

HE CAN SHAKE A LEG!!!  So much fun to be around!

Jordan, if you're reading this...

"You have Mrs. April's stamp of approval on this one."

Madison took our pic and Jeb gave me a sweet peck on the cheek!

I'm blushing a little!

What a crazy pic!

We couldn't decide what to do for this pic???

 Hand on the hip always works!

So glad we were able to be there for Shannon's big day!

 Justin and Jeb met for the first time at the wedding and they

are already best buds.

Taylor and Jordan planned their date's attire so they would be matching, but Sssshhhhh...

neither of them know that!

I don't know that for sure, but hey it sure does look like it!

 Jeb is in shock because this girl caught the bouquet.

Justin and Jordan dancing the night away!

Justin leaves in a couple of weeks for college in Iowa.

Prayers for him as he begins this new journey and prayers for

Jordan as she will miss him.

It was a great night.

So happy for Wes and Shannon!

I'm sure they're having a blast on their honeymoon in Aruba!

Praying for many, many, many years of blissful marriage for this amazing couple.

I would love for you to keep up with me everyday.

Simply Black

Hello Ladies!

I've found the perfect little black dress!

Take a look...

Black is just my go to color for lots of staple pieces.

This dress will transition well from summer to fall.

So much you could do with this dress-

add a jacket, scarf, more accessories, booties instead of heels and the

possibilities are endless.

Whatever; just make it YOURS!

It's rained here all weekend and also been a bit cooler; so it has me in the mood for fall.

Have a great MONDAY!

Bailey and I had to have our favorite from Starbucks-White Chocolate Mocha and

We were there to pick up a prescription for Madison because she is

sick with an ear infections.

Prayers for Madison...Please!

These two are so sweet!
