I had a great time on Sunday with a fun family! Thank you! Here’s a peak for you. They rest of them are up on www.moreygirl.com!



Come visit me at Christ Alive Community Church on Saturday, November 7, from 9am-3pm. The church is about a half mile east of Kickapoo on Rt 150. There are going to be tons of vendors there, including: Pampered Chef, Usborne Books, Avon, Watkins, Tupperware, Stampin Up, Twisted Chicken Jewelry, and a lot more! They are also going to be serving breakfast and lunch at the church too.
Here is the special that MoreyGirl is running:


We had a lot of fun on Sunday. It was a absolutely perfect day, and that’s pretty crazy for this year’s weather.


The guys wanted to go inside so we had a fun little photoshoot with Maggie:)

Then things got a little crazy!

You can see the rest of them on moreygirl.com in the photography section under the Cecil family.

I love this little snapshot. I love that Matt has a half-way smile on his face, at least it seems like he’s enjoying himself. I love that we’ve been married for eight years this month. I love that Slone has been a part of our family for almost five years. I love that he loves preschool. And I love that he had to have a picture of everyone in his family for homework. I love that Bo has been a part of our family for almost 3 years. I love that he’s crazy and happy. I love that this picture shows my family and all the chaos that comes with it…did you check out my desk!?!
I know, I know, Labor Day was a long time ago. But in my defense, the party was the weekend after, so I’m not really that late with posting:) Here’s Henry chowin’ down on some macaroni salad.

Taylor is never really sure about me with a camera at first.

Henry’s not really ever sure about Taylor at first either:)

The bigger boys had fun with the football. Can’t hardly believe that they are old enough to be in jfl.

Mom made all the great food. She’s always ready for a party.

Bo and Taylor played really well together. They were pretending to ride the little fourwheeler.

Then there was a new little fourwheeler. Slone was so excited!

It was a great afternoon.
So I didn’t think I’d be this emotional. I really am excited for him to go, just not so excited that he is without me. Or is it: I am without him? I’m not really sad, not happy, just nervous. But I’m nervous about everything. I try not to be. I hope he doesn’t take after me. I wish he’s have the confidence that his dad does.
He told us last night that he didn’t want to go. We finally got him conviced otherwise. It’s amazing what a new shirt, shoes and backpack will do for a kid.
Bo was pretty bummed he didn’t get to ride the bus. He keeps saying “own cool” and making a big pouty face. But he’s saying “Slone school”, like Slone’s at school and Bo’s not.
He got back this afternoon, says he’s going back tomorrow! So overall, a pretty good day. I wonder if he’ll even remember this day…

Is he not the cutest?


And yes, someday he’ll be mortified. But what’s an aunt to do when her nephew is this sweet?


New Totes!

They’ll be online soon! They’ll also be at the Spoon River Drive and the Women’s Lifestyle Show.

You have no idea how badly I want to carry a different one everyday!
Well, now that summer is almost over (I loathe saying that), we (meaning Bo and I) have been enjoying the fruits of our labor. Slone helped a little with the pulling of weeds but he says he hates tomatoes. How, seriously, how could one hate a garden fresh tomato? There is nothing better in August than a tomato.

I’ve also made some terrific salsa! Love it! Lyn and I experimented with the jalapenos that were growing in the garden. I haven’t tasted them yet, but I think they look great.

I did mention that all the tomatoes are from my little garden?;) Some of the green peppers are, but the big ones are from Mom.
