Family Helps the World Go Round

I was so excited about this weekend, because once again, we came together as a family to support my little brother, Chad. It is his time to shine!!! As the baby of the family, you truly have to wait your turn to take the spot light, and boy does this child love the lime light! Starting Friday, we had his HS football game. He did incredible, and it was the first time his three sisters were there to cheer him on for another Roughneck WIN!!

I tend to get myself into little projects, because I want Chad to know how much we love him, and how do I do that, I start a craft project. My first project was for his games, and I can't take credit, but I will give credit to Dom Falbo. He had these amazing hats made at Lids for my sisters and I....well I know mine is a little small, but the girls look cute in theirs :) 


At first, Chad thought they were a bit nerdy, but then the rest of his football buddies saw them, and LOVED THEM. Needless to say, they aren't nerdy anymore :)

Now for the Fair, I wanted to make a little something special to show our support, and so here is what I came up with.....

I printed a picture of Lindsey and Chad, asked Home Depot if I could have 10 paint sticks, and bought some cardstock from Hobby Lobby..... and....

VIOLA!!! Fan Fare for the fair queen competition! I like to think that our Fan Fare helped Lindsey to become the BCFA Queen, but let's be real....she won because she was perfect for the crown. Congratulations Lindsey!! 

Let's hope he doesn't disown me for this one! I am so proud of the amazing young man that he is becoming. We are eight years apart, so I have been fortunate enough to truly watch this person grow from an infant, to a toddler, to a little boy, and now into a man. What a blessing!!! He is truly an angel, and brings so much happiness to our family.

Chad, we love you and are so proud of you.

And to my wonderful Matt, thank you for being so supportive this weekend, not to mention loving. What a wonderful weekend we had as a family.
