Teacher's Appreciated

 We appreciate our Teachers 2013!
We had a very exciting...and I really mean busy 
week Appreciating all of our Teachers!
We have been very fortunate to have
amazing Teachers leave such a wonderful 
print on my boys lives this year in their Pre-school
and First Grade Years!


We really kept it simple as we were 
showing Appreciation throughout the 
entire week with different themes.
"The Hands Down You're the Best Teacher Around"
note with Soap was cute and practical!
My favorite one gift all week!!


Another great practical gift for Summer-Time!
Cute Tumblers with a Flower note saying...
"Thank you for quenching my thirst for Knowledge!"


I thought as we were approaching Summer
A Great Pool or Beach Towel would be fun!
I was trying to be creative and practical with 
both of boys and all of our teachers!
This little note said..." All Year
you have worked hard to make learning
fun, so now it's your turn to relax in the Sun!"


This was a sweet Class Gift to 
the Teacher. We had all the Kids in the 
Class Color and Put a Cute Note on a Paper
Flower and gave the Teacher a Box of Flowers!
"The Grass is always Greener with Teachers like you!"

Thanks to all our Hard Working Teachers!!

Here are a few of our highlights!

French Quarter in New Orleans...but we are in a very fun spot
in Jacksonville celebrating with some BBQ with all their Friends and Family!

the Big Day! The weather was so crazy that day, it 
was Hot and Humid the day before the wedding...then on the morning 
of the wedding we woke up to 40 degree weather...chilly but nice!
We all had a great day being girls and getting all the fun things done for the Wedding Day!
Always nice to feel like a Princess!!!

for the ride is much better when you share it together!!!
We love you guys!!!

Mint to Be

 Rebecca's Bridal Luncheon
was just so sweet and minty fresh!!
It was Fresh with a Splash of Mint and Coral.
My Mom, my Aunt Judy, and myself
hosted a very special event for Rebecca with 
all the ladies on the big weekend of the big day!!


It was a great start to a Fabulous weekend
of celebrating a very special person.
And more importantly a very special couple
that is "Mint to Be!"


The Wine Cellar in Jacksonville 
was a great location for the Bridal Luncheon.
We had a great room...to set up a beautiful table,
with Burlap and Fresh Mint Ribbon. 
The Roses in the Mint Julep Silver Cups looked perfect!
Mercury Glass Candle holders on the table...it was the look Becca
wanted...and we pulled it together all the way from Tampa!!!


Each place setting was in a different pattern 
of Minty Green Stripes or Gingham!
It all came together...you gotta love when it does!!!
Of course we had Mint Striped Straws for our beverages!!


The Roses looked fantastic!
Rebecca set us up for success with a great color palate for the weekend!!
I am such a fan of the Mint with Coral..honestly
there was such a variation of the colors...Not all Mint or Coral is equal!!!


The Bride herself...my beautiful Cousin, Sister,
and best friend.....Rebecca!!


My Aunt Judy and My Mom all Smiles!!


Rebecca and her good friend Ellie

Family is where the heart is...it was truly nice

to host it with my mom and Aunt Judy...
