It's a miracle

My nephew Kyle was in a serious car accident yesterday. Thank God he is okay and the other two guys in the truck are okay as well. I say thank God because the firefighters said they shouldn't have survived this crash and that it was the worst pin in they've ever seen. It's an absolute miracle they are alive.

They were driving back home from a job site and it was raining really hard and the driver went slightly off the road and couldn't get back on it because of the mud. The truck went down an embankment and hit along a medal fence and then a tree. The passenger side hit the tree and the whole dashboard and front tire folded up onto the guy in the passenger seat and that folded up onto my nephew who was in the back passenger seat. They had to use the jaws of life on both of them. Kyle was stuck for over an hour. Miraculously he only has cuts, bruises and is really sore. The person on the front passenger seat broke his hip/pelvis and was transported to a bone specialist for surgery. The driver they believe broke his shoulder but it doing okay.

It really is a miracle and I am so thankful.

Playgroup Valentine's Day Party

Here are a few pictures from our playgroup Valentine's Day party yesterday afternoon. The kids had a great time jumping on the trampoline, playing in the sandbox, making a butterfly craft, eating yogurt parfaits, and just running and playing outside. I was too busy socializing so I didn't get very many pictures.

I did snag a few photos of my friend's little girl Nicole. She is such a cutie pie.

This was hilarious!! Samantha's hair was out of control with static. So funny!

Valentine's Day goodies

Our weekly playgroup is having a Valentine's Day party this afternoon and I made some treats for the kiddos. Yes it's 10 days before Vday but we are doing it early because of everyone's schedules. Besides, it's going to be beautiful today 65 degrees and lots of sunshine! That in and of itself is a reason for a party!

I got little glass jars from Hobby Lobby and used my Spellbinders dies to create the labels. The front label says Hugs & Kisses and it's from a digital kit by Artwarehouse. You can get it here. Since my theme is Hugs & Kisses I filled the jars with Hershey Kisses and Hugs. Cute, huh? :-) If you haven't tried the Hugs and Kisses out for Valentine's Day. You are missing out! Cherry cordial filling Kisses, white chocolate and rasberry swirl Hugs, and dark chocolate with rasberry flavor Kisses. Yummy!

This label is digital and I just used Photoshop to change the colors. You can buy the digital kit here.

I'm doing something similar for Andrew's preschool teachers but I'm putting the jar in a red bucket. I'll post that when I'm done. Just for those of you looking for ideas for Valentine's Day goodies!

Happy Birthday Sissy!

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday, dear Sissy.
Happy Birthday to you!

Sending you lots of love from Colorado. We miss you tons!


Ps. I had to throw in a couple more pictures I came across. You were such a beautiful baby!

How cute is this?

I saw this Tooth Fairy kit on Ali Edwards blog. How adorable is this??? I know Andrew has awhile before he starts losing his teeth but it's never too early to plan for these things. ;-)
