I have no words....

or at least not anything that would do these pictures justice ;)

Miss B after an afternoon in the neighborhood....
 

and the strangest cat I have ever met.... and of COURSE she lives at MY house ;)

I LOVE....

having girls....

The Weekend Report

Can he DO IT!? That was the question... and...

 yes he CAN STILL pick them BOTH up at the same time ;)

and they STILL LOVE IT! :)

Maple Sunday visiting MIL with the crew....

and an impromptu visit to GA's NEW HOUSE and the girls were BIG FANS of Nora and her sweet sister's room.... so cute....

Fun Field Trip Friday and a Date Night

The 1st and 2nd grade classes had a field trip in the big city and it happened to be on a Friday so Momma got to go!!! It was NOT the best place for a whole bunch of little people but the crew I had made the best of it....

as did Minnie's teacher! :) We all just love her spunk, creativity, and craziness :)

and because we are in the process of the long goodbye... Liz and Mick took the kiddos for the night and Husband and I got to try a new Mexican place that was SO SO YUMMY! Uninterrupted conversation and guac? Yes PLEASE!

Normal? What's normal?

6:15 AM.... this is "normal" right?

Spencer Turns "4"

What a sweet treat to be able to celebrate this boy.... the original plan was for our amazing friends to have moved before his birthday but thank GOODness (for us!) that the timing did not work out that way.... and a blessing to get one more b-day with this guy....

Soak it up gals... I just keep telling them all to soak it up....

Fun while it lasted....

I got my hair cut and Miss Dayna asked if I wanted her to blow dry it or diffuse it or anything and typically I just take my wet-headed self home and wash and do it up the next day. But then she offered to straighten it and I said SURE... Why not!? :)

 

Miss B could not ever remember a time when she had seen my hair straight. she loved running her fingers through it and kept saying "you look like a different Mom!"

Minnie LOVED it and said "you just look SO cute Mom!" :)

Sure was fun for the 24 hours it lasted but once that water hits it.... ah well... :)

GA and KSchnides

GiGi is getting ready to have another baby... we thought it would be fun to get together before the she comes and then we I thought it would be funny to try and recreate this picture with Nora ;) they were such good sports....  

February 2016

 

 

Sort of. :)

March 2018

These girls. One of them is married and having her 2nd baby and the other one is getting married this spring... we are pouring over Pinterest boards and they are updating us on their lives.

What can happen in a playroom in 0,2 seconds or less...

what happens when you are in a houseful of girls and hunting and fishing shows are not on TV ;)

 We are so blessed to have maintained this love and relationship with these girls. It truly is a testimony to Husband's character and the fact that he can be someone who pushes and drives them to be better athletes and students and years later he is a friend, confidant and....torturer of their children ;)

 

Poor gal... she'll get there... she'll have to... she lives "in district" :)

1st School-Friend Birthday

Wasn't she just my baby? Now so big I can drop her off at a friend's house for that friend's birthday party where she comes home after going to the movies and getting pink hair???

 

 Ok, maybe she's not THAT old but it is definitely what happened ;) good thing the Mom is our hairdresser and the pink hair... well... that was our gift ;)
