Girls Room Addition

I rearranged this little space to give the girls a little space where they can sit and brush their hair, get their jewelry done, paint their nails etc. I'm sure it will be covered with junk a second after I take this pic, but in the meantime I'm happy with it. Praying it frees up some of the bathroom traffic we have before school each day.....

The Wisdom of Nolan

Nolan: "Daddy - if I had to choose between hugging you before you go to work, or going to college, or getting a $100 lego set, I'd choose hugging you.
.....And then I'd just get the Lego set afterwards."

2 of them!!!

We finally did it!! We bought a second car! It's been 9 years of being a single car family, but this sort of fell in our lap, and it's been such a blessing! Say hello to the little red beast!

Treks....

Unexpected Saturday morning trip to the Vet results in a *slightly* awkard Walgreen purchase of disposable gloves, poopy wipes, and a giant can of Metamucil.

Epic

It was looking to be an EPIC battle.

Soldier Dreams

He's always been pretty insistent that he wants to be part of the military. We will see what comes of this.....

Umbrella Demise

Me: Nolan!!! How in the world did you manage to wreck that umbrella in ONE DAY?!?!

Nolan: Well....I kinda was jumping off the playground with it to see if I could fly?

Cannon: True story mom. He was.  We all saw it.

Nolan: By the way mom, it didn't work.

Christmas Break Fun

The kids and I are really enjoying our break. They are getting to sleep in a bit, and I'm enjoying hearing them chatter around the house. I love when all my littles are home with me!

New Years 2016

We partied hard until 8:45 and then went to bed. I read a book, and snapped this pic at midnight.

Rich was snoring.....classic New Years for us! 

But the year DID start off with a bang. I took advantage of the beautiful weather and started working on the hutch that has been sitting in the garage for a few months. My nails took a hit, but I got it all sanded and ready for paint!
