My little sister's 19th birthday

Today is May 4th, that means:

We had a great birthday weekend last weekend for Justine in Des Moines. We ate a lot, hung out with family, and watched movies. So fun.
I love you little sister...hope you have a great day!
*I will post "Creative Wednesday" tomorrow. It has to do with what I got Justine for her birthday present. 
XOXO,
Simply Judy Bligh

Niece and Aunt look alike

I wanted to compare how similar my niece (Emma) and I look.
Below are side by side pictures when I was 3, which is her age now!
Same hair style and hair type. Her hair is more light and red than mine was. I think we have the same nose. Do you see the similarities?

Here is us now, present day:

Remember the Picture

In honor of "Remember the Alamo", I wanted to do "Remember the Picture" at the Alamo. I have a picture of Justine and I at the Alamo in June of 2006. I thought, "How fun would it be to recreate the same picture and see how we have changed while we are there."
Enough said.


BEFORE
(June, 2006):

AFTER 
(October, 2010):

What a difference 4 years can make. Justine is wearing blue shirts in both pictures. lol.

a time to visit family

I am going to San Antonio with my family to visit more family(Thursday-Monday). We will all be together again just like this picture (minus the sledding and snow activity):

Justine (my little sis) and I were down there in 2005 or 2006. We stopped in San Antonio for the night before we went to Monterry, Mexico for a missions trip. I want us to recreate this pirctures to see how we have changed! I think that would be fun.

Hopefully I will come back with fun stories and pics for my blog! Everyone have a good weekend.

Scarf Challenge, Outift #1

Here is the first outfit of the challenge! All black with a punch of color...grandma Bligh's scarf. I wore this outfit to an outdoor wedding I played violin for. The scarf was held together by this scarf hook thing (see above in middle picture) that I got from my Grandma Frey's jewelry box. I haven't ever seen these scarf accessory/hook "thingys" (I don't even know the proper name for it). Totally useful, cute, and came in handy for this scarf and outfit. Let me tell you what our Granmother's generation had it together when it came to this scarfs business. 

Stay tuned for the other 2 outfits of the challenge!

Scarf challenge

David's grandmother was going to have a rummage. So, I went over to her house one day to look around to see what she was going to be selling at her rummage. She had these 3 fun and completely different looking scarfs. She was selling them for .10 each! She gave them to me for free. Here they are. Very cool. 

Now that the background story is told, I have decided to give myself a fashion challenge! I want to blog 3 outfits, one outfit that goes with each scarf. Let me present, "Scarf Challenge". 

In the next week, I will have 3 outfits blogged and you will be seeing these beautiful scarfs featured.

Happy Graduation Justine

Here is a little re-cap of the Justine's graduation weekend in Des Moines. It was so fun!

GRADUATION DAY (sat):

GRADUATION OPEN HOUSE & RECITAL (sun):

My favorite part of the weekend was that it was so long with my family! Thursday-Monday! I didn't want to leave them. The family from TX, and all the family from Des Moines together again! It was such a blessed time for me :)
I didn't get to take David to Snookies, like I wanted. That should be around for a while though...soon we will do that. I also wanted to take him to Big Tomato, but we are never up past 11pm.
I loved last weekend. It was awesome.

A tribute to my mom

I love you mom! I miss you and I wish I could be with you today. I had no idea it would be this hard. Here is a hug for you today!

I love you, mom,

because I can call you with cooking questions. You know how to explain to me what I need to know/how to do something.

I love you, mom,

because when I was growing up I could always ask you questions I had about the Bible. You are so knowledgeable about these things.

I love you, mom,

because you didn't tell us kids that santa claus was real. This helped the disappointment growing up. Plus, if you think about it...santa claus is a lie. We should all be celebrating the real reason for Christmas. That is not a lie. Wow, random bunny trail.

I love you mom,

because you have always had a clean line for design and fashion. I get that from you. You should have been a graphic designer. You have the coolest hair, way to cool for a mom.

I love you mom, 

because I can hear the alto line to any song. Thanks to you always singing it. 

I love you mom, 

because you can't roll your tongue!

I love you mom, 

because you have a facebook account and go onto it frequently. 

I love you mom,

because you can sew, just like Project Runway!

I love you, mom,

because nurses as moms makes the best mom. You are so compassionate, but is always knowledgeable on what to do when I don't feel up to par.

I love you mom,

because you are my mom.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Valentines for the kids!

I made these little valentines for my nephews and niece. I wanted to share, they turned out cute! My nephews are obsessed with Wii and we play mario cart over the internet. Ean (6) is always Mario and Evan (4) is always Luigi, so I personalized them that way! Emma (2) just likes girly things, so I chose Dora to put on her Valentine:
