Ok so it's New Year's eve Eve and I just can't bear to not let you know all the wonderful things the Quick family has been up to these past few months. For the two of you who read my blog, my deepest apologies for leaving you hanging!!


Halloween 2009 found us with the trick or treating with the Griswold girls and Isabella. Aren't they all cute?? Caroline and Kendall were musketeers.



David and I tagged along with Caroline's class to the Renaissance Festival. I must say I definitely liked school days much better than going on the weekends. No crazies!..it's turned down a little!!





The Girls had their Fall Sing Along. Kendall doo-wopped to the 50's while Caroline grooved to the sweet songs of the 70's.

The reason for my madness.....Charity Ball 2009 was held at the Zone Club this year. A huge thank you to all of your for your support and tolerance of me! It was a beautiful evening and I couldn't have asked for more!! All of my girls worked hard this past year and it showed!! I'm so proud of each and every one of them. The children that we service through the Junior League will be blessed by their efforts via the funding of many projects. Thank you to all my family who came out to support me on my big night!




Throw in hosting a baby shower for Kim and Ella Wright



Mix in an Open house or two...


Lots and Lots of Christmas Card orders and Sign orders. Which was a lot of fun!!

Shy Caroline tried out for the leading role as the Queen in her class play and was fabulous!! A total chip of the ol' block!


Santa dropped off a christmas present early...our sweet scottie Barkley!


...And a very Merry Christmas to you!!



Christmas came upon me in a flash as well as went by in a flash! How blessed we are to be able to make such great memories. Speaking of flash, Santa brought me a new big ol' camera! I hope to be posting much more frequently and with fantastic pics. But for now, as the house returns back to normal, I'll just settle on a few hours of doing nothing. I know it is short lived as 2010 already has lots in store for me.(Did I mention I have been selected to be VP of Fund Development for the League?) Ay!
I wish you all the best and a bright new year!! I am thankful for your friendship and the fact that you provide me an outlet for my thoughts by your caring what's going on in my world. Stay safe and everyone in a while, let me know your're out there...reading!!

It's a Baby Shower!

This weekend was Justin and Leslie's Baby Shower. How blessed is this family?? They got everything on their registry!! We can't wait to see little Eden, who will is scheduled to make her debut in early December.


What little diva can't use a pair of blingy sneakers??

The Cake!!

Come on over!

to my new blog. Over to the right is a link to if the Crown fits....I've added some stuff for christmas and I have lots more to add. Stay tuned...

And the theme is.....

For those in the know, know that last night was a pretty big deal for me. As this year's Charity Ball Chair I had the pleasure of revealing the theme for the Ball. It is usually kept under wraps till our September meeting, so needless to say it was really difficult keeping it quiet this summer. The theme this year is Sultan's Soiree..so think Morroccan, Arabian, Indian infusion. We try to make a big deal out of the reveal in order to get the excitement generating through town. So this year we brought in a belly dancer and she shimmied, and then we had a mini lesson so we could learn a few moves. I think it went well...I was so trying not to make a mistake that I didn't get to really enjoy and take it all in!! Typical...
We have lots of changes in store this year with the big one being the move to the Zone. If you want to come out and have a great time, please come...it's for a worthy cause..and hey!...it's a party!!

WAAAAAAAAA!!!

Today was the first day of school and Kendall started Kindergarten. She was so excited and so fired up. I was a mess!! Brushing her hair, putting on her bagpack, I was able to sneak a few tears here and there. She ran straight to her class and found her seat and never looked back. Much easier than her sister did starting Kindergarten. Caroline however, clung tight to her daddy as we walked to her classroom. Both girls have fabulous teachers and I am looking forward to seeing what the year holds for them and how they will blossom. As we begin this new chapter, I find my excitedness far outweighs the heavyness in my heart as I no longer have little ones, but beautiful strong, intelligent young ladies to mold and guide. Here's to a great year!!

Finally!!!

We got a double whammy this weekend with Emerson and Addison's birthday party and I also got to hold Isabella!! For those of you who don't know, I didn't get to hold Isabella at the hospital when she was born and with David's surgery taking place later that week, I was unable to get away to see her. SO I got to be the first one to hold her at the party and Nola made sure I got as much time as I wanted. WOW!! Of course David had to take his customary uncle pic with her and so he has this exact pic with all the nieces and C&K too!!. What a nut! My sisters are witholding the party pics so you will just have to mosey on over to the Griswolds or We be Winans on the sidebar to the right to see the Mermaid party. Too cute!
