Bragitis-Maximus!.....(brag moment)

Everyone need a brag moment, right? So, here's mine. A bunch of other talented ladies, and myself, have been busy preparing for the Christmas craft fair that we will be holding at my house this Saturday from 10:00am-4:00pm. Anyone reading this should consider themselves invited! My addiction to making jewelry is what I will be displaying. I have about 70 pieces! Crazy.

Sweetness Remembered

Today is Sidney's birthday, and I am remembering the love, sweetness, humor, and special life that touched us all. Though we love and miss her dearly, we have been blessed and comforted to know that we will see her, and laugh with her again.

Silly Sid Moments

One day when her and I were playing guitar she told me "My friends say I have sausage-y fingers". I always thought that was funny!

She would hide my flip flops or shoes when I came to visit. Then I'd see her wearing them as I looked all over for them!

She loved deviled eggs! Last Easter she asked if she could ride to Grandma's house in our car. We thought she wanted to hang out with us, but later we learned that she just wanted to get away with eating some of the deviled eggs on the way to Grandma's.

I was always so proud to be her aunt. I think it was because I was impressed by her as a person, her talents and sweet personality, and that she always made me feel special. One thing I always looked forward to on Sundays was seeing Sidney at church, because she would find me and give me a hug.

We love you Sid, thanks for everything!

Halloween 2008

We started our festive evening hanging out with Jeff and Cassie, and promoting tooth decay by giving their kids each whole bags of chocolate. Paul and I dressed up as "vampire rock-stars". I was able to make us some really cool vampire teeth at my office. Ahhh, the perks of working for a dentist! We had "the gang" over for a Rock Band party, and of course topped of the night with a scary movie. I brushed my teeth and was in bed at 3:oo a.m. We had so much fun!
