Charleston, SC

We just got back from 4 days in the lovely city of Charleston, SC. We walked ALL over the place and saw some pretty cool sights. Plus, we learned about a lot of history (a Scott Moore must)!

Here we are in front of a statue of George Washington in a park.

Ft. Sumter, where the Confederate Soldiers first fired upon Union Soldiers to begin the Civil War.

Middleton Plantation, built by Henry Middleton whose son, Arthur Middleton was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Then, years later, Arthur's grandson Williams Middleton signed South Carolina's Ordinance of Secession.

While driving home from Charleston, Scott suddenly saw a sign for the Andrew Jackson State Park (Jackson is by far Scott's favorite President) and decided to make a detour. We explored the area and visited the museum. While in the museum Scott picked up a pamphlet for the birthplace of James K. Polk.
Off we were to see where the 11th president and a follower of Andrew Jackson's beliefs was born in North Carolina. Boy does Scott LOVE his American History.

We had a wonderful time and can't wait to visit again soon :)

Summer Crafts!!!

As I've had some free time on my hands lately (actually, I should be doing some reading/work for my grad classes (; ) I've gotten a little crafty.
I've become addicted to a couple blogs, Prudent Baby and Made to name a few....

Here are some headband covers from MmmCrafts I made, see how they just slide over the cheapy, thin ones that DO NOT cause pain!!! A few reversable placemats, I just LOVE the ric rac borders!!! Plus, they are saving my grandmothers kitchen table from nasty water rings!!!

And, a clock. I loved the theme that was shown on the blog so much that I just copied it!!! Now I just have to decide where to hang it!!!

There are a few more project I've been working on too, some that flopped and some that haven't. I don't have photos of everything yet but hope to craft some more this summer and show off my 'sewing-in-progress' skills!!!

She will have to try again tomorrow. Isn't this crazy!?!?!?!?! By the way, that little purple brush (Kong: Zoom Groom) is the best thing ever!!!

Michigan Reception

This past weekend was Kelly and Josh's Michigan Reception. Alle did a VERY good job saying the Pledge of Allegiance for everyone and, well, Holden did OK with the blessing. Here are the cakes for the evening...and the unlit unity candle. :)

All the ladies!!! We never did take a group photo...

Flowers

I got surprised with these the other day. They were to say "Thank You" for driving to the north side of Raleigh to pick up some beer making supplies. While I did complain a lot about having to go, seeing these made it totally worth it!!! I love my guy!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to one heck of a momma!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
