Need Some NEW - CUTE - FUN - SHIRTS???

Hello Everyone!

So my neighbor Meaghan is an amazing and creative gal! She made a bunch of shirts that she was going to sell at a boutique a couple of weekends ago, but it got rained out. Soooo, I am trying to help her sell her inventory before she delivers their 4th child (Did I mention she was pregnant and due any day?).

I asked my lovely friend Caitlin to model some of the shirts for you to see because they always look better on then just on a hanger. So shop, shop, shop, till your wallets drop!!! :-) You can email, call, or comment to order your shirts and hats! Sizes are limited, and it's first come, first serve so DON'T wait another second! Adult and kids sizes are available. contact me for availability.

I also have a lot of plain American Apparel T's (v-neck, scoop neck, crew neck) for sale. Reg. $18-$22, but she's selling them for $11!!! Come check them out!!! (just call me if you want to come over!)

Fun Visit

So what have we been up to you ask? Well, let me tell you! :-) We've been spoiled by getting to see my parents for almost 2 weeks straight! They came to visit the week before Thanksgiving and left on Saturday. Then 3 days later we flew to Nor Cal to be with them for Thanksgiving day. And now this week we have been trying to settle back into reality and trying to be responsible parents and adults, but let me tell you that is really hard after 2 weeks of super, fantastic, FUN!!! Thanks mom and dad for making that possible! We love you! So here is a recap of our last 2 weeks in pictures...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Week 1:

Anyone need family pictures taken for Christmas? My 3 year old is available to hiring. Here is some of her portfolio...

Thanks mom and dad for all of the yummy food!

Ella and Addison REALLY wanted to ride bikes with Grandma. So she got on my bike so she'd have the child's seat, but then where does Addi sit? No problem...good thing I found that basket at a garage sell a couple of weeks ago for $3!

Week 2:

Plane Ride...

Addi slept the whole way!

Picnic at the park...

Movies...

Turkey Trot...

Black Friday Shopping!...

NBA game...

This was Cooper's first NBA game. Thanks Julia, Matthew, and Dad for the fun night!

He almost made it thru the entire game.

Making cookies with grandpa...

Cleaning up fall leaves...

See! Now can you see why we're having a really hard time getting back into the normal day-to-day routine?

Growing up too fast!

Our little baby is coming up on 2 years old and it just makes my heart sink. She is growing up way too fast! Though it is fun hearing her talking, watching her play with Ella and Cooper more and more, seeing her walk around like she's 5 feet tall...she is my baby, she is my youngest, and if Heavenly Father says we're all done then I want to freeze time right now! I often think about my mom and how she must have felt having 3 girls and wanting more kids, but it never happened. Could we be done? I don't know? I hope not. But I'm grateful for my 3, and I'm trying to cherish every minute because in seconds they are going to be teenagers and hopefully they'll still let me give them "loves".

Addi loves to walk Buster

One night we had corn on the cob with dinner and Addi just grabbed one and started chomping right into it. After almost every bite she would say, "Mmm!"

Addi walked into the family room one day with this hat on her head. I don't know how she reached it, but this was the hat she wore home from the hospital after she was born. So sweet.

How can you not love these faces? I love my kids so much! They are my life and my joy!

Misery likes company

Anyone that knows me or my family knows two things about us...

We love to eat.

We love to exercise & be active.

But lately I have been loving the eating part a lot, and NOT loving the exercise part as much as I should. I tell myself it's because "the sun doesn't rise until almost 7 a.m. right now so it's hard to get up", or "I'm just getting old and lazy", or the best is "I will do it tomorrow". I don't know what my problem is, but something needs to change or I am going to start blowing up! I used to go the nearby gym and attend the 5:15 a.m. classes because that's really the only time I can go. Otherwise, I'm paying for childcare or disturbing family time. But as I mentioned 5:15 a.m. comes and goes and I'm still in bed. So I've had my membership on hold for awhile and I've been trying to motivate myself to do stuff at home...yoga, pilates, Firm videos, kickboxing videos, etc. For the most part I've been doing okay. But I need to do better.

...Atleast I have a workout buddy!

No More Training Wheels!

Ella learned how to ride her bike without training wheels Halloween Day! We are so proud of her! It makes me sad how fast she is growing up, but it is so exciting to see her continue to learn new things and grow! When she showed me the first time that she could do it, her face was so proud. She couldn't stop smiling and said, "Mom, did you see me? Did you see me?" "Yes, I saw you!!!" (trying to hold back a tear) She's growing up, and this is not the last of MANY exciting times.

make sure and turn the music off before you watch...
