Let the doll out of the box

I finally am going to let the doll out of the box ha-ha just like let the cat out of the bag. I decided that I was going to get all my dolls together at once and take a picture of them. It is something that I love to do....collect dolls. Especially Marie Osmond dolls. I love all the detail she puts into them and the quality for a affordable price. I started collecting when it was 2001-2002 with my very first doll was actually a trio of Olive, Marie and Jessica, 3 generations. When I saw how beautiful they were in person when I first took them out of the box I was hooked. I don't purchase every doll I see or I think is pretty but what that doll means to me. I don't think I have a lot compared to some women that have hundreds. My very last doll so far of my collection is Baby Olive Marie Osmond I am holding her on my lap. I just recently got her it was the fall of 2008. I do spend time with them and let them sit out and be admired but the most of the time I keep them in 2 curio cabinets that I have. I counted them to see where I was at in a total, I have 18 tiny tots they are 3-5inch size dolls/ 4 dolls 9inch tall, and 8 big dolls. I have a total of 30 DOLLS. My plans in the future is to decorate my wedding reception with them. I predict not too much longer on that. Will see.

GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was Tyler and Tiffany's last day to be with us, I will start first with reflecting back a little.... It has been fun spending these last two months with them, some of the highlights were the first 2 nights after they had moved in they were spent staying up late watching Indiana Jones and Fast and Furious/Tokyo. But I didn't mind at all we were spending time together and sleep you can eventually catch up on. I know one night Tiffany was the only one still awake out of the rest of us. Another time was when we played Rock band on the Wii on New Year's Eve. To this day whenever I hear the song Roxanne I think of the game. But most of the time it was just eating dinner and breakfast together at the table.

The day started about 1:00 pm after Tyler came back to the house with the moving truck that we started loading up the truck. When they were all ready to leave, and the truck was all packed it was really nice as we said our goodbye's and took pictures. WE WILL ALL MISS YOU and think about you always hope all is well for you in Florida . WE LOVE YOU.

The beginning

I decided to start blogging again, and since my brother Tyler is going to be moving to Florida next week this was also another reason to take on this experience .  It will be good for me to take the time  to tell about our family and post pictures. It may not always be exciting but this is our journey in life and we hope that you will get something out of it along with us.
