Silly girls

I went in to check on the girls before I went to bed and this is how they were sleeping. Cozy.

Lunch with kids

Last week Ellie and I went over to the school and had lunch with Braden and Abby. It was fun to spend a little time with them. Ellie LOVED it. Abby and her friends talk A LOT and Braden and his friends eat REALLY fast so they can have lots of time to go outside and play at lunch recess.

The Pose

I just noticed that every time I take Ellie's picture she has the same pose. She's so funny.

Hurry Hurry Hurry

It's that time of year when I feel like I have a million things to do and never enough time. I'm always in a hurry. My mind is swarming with projects and I'm trying to get them all done. Here are a few things that I have gotten done.


Gifts for Gavin's office staff.
Frame's for the girls room.
Coasters for the kids teachers.
My wreath for me front door.

A few more favorites

LOVE THIS

What more can I say?

Fall Break

This past week the kids have been on fall break. I will be honest and say that I was really dreading it but it has actually been a fun week and has gone by really fast. We have played with lots of friends and have been enjoying the nice weather in the evenings.

Gavin had the day off on Friday so we headed to the zoo. It was a little warm but we still had a good time.

On Saturday morning Gavin had to work for a few hours and he took Braden with him. So the girls and I ran a few errands and did a little cleaning. When the boys got home we got in the car and headed to the bass pro shop. The kids though it was SO cool.

Also this past week we have been getting our backyard done. The fire pit and BBQ area are done and look SO good. This week they put in sprinklers, grass and trees. We are so excited to enjoy it.

Turn your speakers up so you can hear it.

Our "Staycation"

We thought it would be fun to have a staycation this weekend. So we got a really nice room at the Arizona Grand Resort just about 20 minutes from our house. We checked into our room, got changed into our swim suits and hit the water park. It was a blast. We relaxed down the lazy river, played in the wave pool, Gavin and Braden played a little basketball in the water and we just relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. They had a stage right by our lounge chairs and there was a dance team there and they were trying to get everyone up on stage to dance with them. Ellie LOVED it. She danced the night away. It was a fun weekend.


Ready to go swim.


We are ready too.
