Happy Halloween...

....from our witch, pirate, and doggie.

Sneak Peek for Michelle

Look at this handsome little guy! He was a little tricky, but we still got some good ones. Cutest monkey I've even seen, that's for sure!

New Favorite

This has to be my new favorite picture that I've taken. It's my sister, her husband, and cute Addie. LOVE it!

Pears

I think it's time to pick the last few pears. They lasted longer than the leaves.

Cousins having fun

Cali and I took Tyson and Addie to try out a new picture spot. We like what we saw.While we were out, we played at the park (and took more pictures!)And then a dog walked by....We got lucky with these two great pics!It was a good picture day. :-) Thanks for playing, Cali and Addie.

Before and After

Last Saturday I got my new couches. I probably shouldn't have, considering everything that changed for us financially between ordering the couches and receiving them, but look at the difference!! My old couches were long ago worn through, new ones have been on the want list for a long time. I love the new feel to our family room. Now we need new curtains, pillows, end tables, lamps, paint, and the list goes on.... Those will all have to wait. Darn.

Picking Apples

In my effort to be a fun mom yesterday, I took my kids to pick apples. We took some baskets to make the collecting easier, which turned out to be very helpful. Kyler loved picking the apples, he wanted to keep going and going. Kaylee loved the dog we met named Rocky. Tyson loved the tractor ride after he realized it was fun. I really enjoyed doing something new and being outside. We picked almost 3 boxes full of apples, but we only bought 1 to bring home. Thanks for the great idea Norma!

'Tis the season....

... for family pictures! I have had so much fun taking pictures this last week. It has kept me busy, but I have loved every minute of it. Here are some of my favorites.You can see more pictures at www.hollycressall.com. Let me know if you would like a great deal on family pictures this year!

*No, I didn't take my own pictures. Thanks Amy J. for the picture swap.
*Notice my boys matching ties! These are my new favorite things to make. If you are in need of matching ties for the holidays, contact me for pricing. I'd be happy to make more. I hope to have some in my store available for purchase soon.

9 years

Yesterday my baby girl turned 9 years old! Am I old enough to have a 9 year old? I guess so. We celebrated both Monday and Tuesday. They were both busy and crazy days, but we found some time to have some fun including a party with 10 girls, lots of presents, dinner date with mom and dad, cake, and more cake. We love you Kaylee and hope you had a special day!
