Happy Fathers Day!

This Father's Day was great. 

I love that my kids have such an amazing Dad. 

They are very lucky and so am I.

This Father's day was even more special because we had company. 

Extra Father's to celebrate!!

My Girls

Family Visit!

We had family come to visit this past two weeks. It was so much fun having them around. 

We finally got to meet our nephew Declan and got to hand out with Sam and Ashley and Ma and Pa Gillespie!

It was a great two weeks. I am so happy we had a chance to spend time with them and make some fun memories!

(ps. this is one of my favorite pictures from the weekend)

Uncle Garran tried very hard to win Declan over!

Look at that sweet face. 

Um saying our kids loved Declan might be a bit of an understatement. 

I even got to snuggle him to sleep. 

Lucky Me!

Ma and Pa Gillespie

Declan experiencing some hush puppies!

Um we are crazy....

But we can usually hide it well!

Look at this funny fella!

Miss B

This little lady has so much personality. 

She loves being a girly girl. 

She loves make up and hair.

Dresses and baby dolls. 

Princesses and Fairies. 

She is the sweetest thing and I am glad I get to call her mine. 

Perfection

I love this picture and here is why:

• I love that Briea is laughing and has a great smile on his face. 
• I love that it captured a moment in our lives that I dont want to forget. 
• I love that Garran is squished in behind us. (if you knew the situation, it is so typical)

Garran was ready for bed but Briea wanted to snuggle. Garran always seems to get booted when the kids wedge in. This was him pretending to be grumpy and make a mad face. 

I love my family. With all the good and the bad. Our perfect imperfection. I will take it all!

Valentines Day Dinner

Well, once again we celebrated Valentines Day with our family dinner by candlelight. 

This year we did a fruit and cheese spread.

It was kind of a throw together  because we had a snow storm that messed up my plans to go grocery shopping for the original dinner. 

We still pulled it off. We got everything decorated and ready for our  night. 

Ayla was not feeling well, but she was the first to the table and in a princess dress non the less. 

I made Pineapple whips for a fun drink. 

 Briea was so cute. She asked me to put one of the flowers in her hair like if she was out on date. 

My favorite Valentines!

So grateful for each and everyone of them. 

Double Knock Out

Tonight Garran and I were watching Psych. Briea came in and layed down with us. A few minutes later I look over to see this. 

Then about two minutes after moving Briea to her bed, Ayla came in to lay down with us. 

Yup... This is what I saw just a few minutes later!

Kindness!

I love when I hear my kids being sweet to each other, when they don't know anyone is around. Tonight I heard Cullan singing to Ayla when she was crying because she didn't want to go to bed. When his song was over she asked for another, I guess he ran out of bedtime songs because all of a sudden I heard him beat boxing!

My little Man

He loves to draw. 

I know someday I will miss seeing him always doodling. 

He will grow up and do great things.

But right now I am going to enjoy my view!

Briea

A style all her own

This kid. 

She most definitely has a style all her own. 

Usually it includes undies and a pair of shoes, but every once in a while it includes other articles of clothing!

She is crazy and we love her!!

This Boy

He melts my heart. 

He is so sweet and kind.
I couldn't ask for a better kid. 

Apple Anyone?

Cullan's favorite part of me baking or making anything with apples is when I peel the apples. 

I think he is so cute eating one long continuos string of apple peel.
