Family Time!

Holidays are the best times to get together with family.
A couple Holidays to catch up on since my last post: Father's Day
We started the day out by going indoor go-karting

Lil Camber loved watching everyone race and cant wait to be there one day!

Uncle Pete

FUNcle Jeffe

Then we had actually Father's Day dinner at my parents house. My other family the Proudfit ladies were in town this time. The more the merrier!!

Jeff and I

Camber loves Grandpa Bob. He thinks he is just so funny!

Holly and Dad... Yes Holly looks a lot like my mom :) best friends can tend to look similar!

One of my favs Stella!

Quinn and Chloe Jo <3

After a great Father's Day grill out with the all the family came Fourth of July.
I ended up walking in the Parade for the Rotary Club of West Des Moines!

This is one of my favorite pictures, typical mom in her American Flag cowgirl boots.

Wouldnt have it any different. Love it!

We are GODPARENTS

Today was the big day for Jeff and I as Godparents - Camber's Baptism

A couple of months ago Doug and Lindsay asked us if we would be Camber's Godparnets by giving us the Foot Book by Dr. Seuss with Camber's footprints in it. Of course we were more than honored and said YES! We had to land of the perfect gift to our godson so we decided to do a little DIY

We loved how our little onesies turned out! And so did Camber

We can't wait for the years to come as we watch Camber grow up! xoxo your Godparents

25 things while 25

~~Start a blog~~
Take a spontaneous trip - I am a planner an organizer, so to take a random trip would be out of my comfort zone!
Buy more fresh flowers- I love the life they can bring to a home! I don't know why I don't do this more often cause I love them.
Start a work out routine- I have started one now it is sticking with it!!
Take a cooking class- Since my husband does all the cooking it would be nice to know how to make something :)
~~Give up soda -~~ it was hard to do but I am about three weeks in and the headaches are finally going away.
Visit a new City
Have more me time- Time where I just get away from it all and do something that makes me happy
Host a dinner party- I love to throw a good party but have never hosted a formal dinner party!
Read more
Have more mother daughter dates- my mom is truly my best friend, I want to soak up more time with her!
Do something every day that scares me- It can be something small or something huge, just something that forces me out of my comfort zone.
Get my Grandma Carol, or as we call her Farmor, to write down some family history with me
Redo a room in our house
Explore my own city- There is so much to do and see in the Des Moines Area
Start sewing more- Things other than my pillow cases (will be on the blog soon)
Have a crafting party- host an event that gathers people together to do a certain craft
Start ever day with a fresh and positive outlook- My life motto, "Any day above ground is a good day," My Uncle Andy would say that every time you asked him how he was. I strive to life every day like it is my last for him.
Make it a point to have lunch with someone at least once a week- good way to expand my network
Put together a portfolio of my work so far
Learn a new Danish recipe from Farmor- I know a few but can always learn more!
Write more thank yous- nothing is better than getting a thank you card in the mail.
Furnish our outdoor patio this summer so we have hold some family BBQs!
Personal (these last two are more personal ones so I wont share those)
