Princess for the day

Alexis had a princess birthday party that she was invited to. She got to be a princess for the day and got the royal treatment. She had so much fun!

Frightmares at Lagoon

We took the girls to Frightmares at Lagoon. It was fun! My cousin Cody does a Halloween show and he always does a GREAT job! Ashlyn was a little scared but we finally got her to give him a hug.

Just for fun!

The girls and I were messing around and taking some pictures tonight before Nate got home. They thought that was pretty fun. So here are a few shots for fun!

Family

So it has been pretty busy around here. Hence the lack of updates to our blog.

I had a yard sale at my Mom's house to try and get rid of all our crap. It was somewhat successful. I sold some crap! I'm not sure I will do a yard sale again it was kind of crappy!

After our yard sale last Saturday we had family come in town. Nate's parents and sister came to visit for a week. So we were busy spending some quality time.

Randomness......

So, it's been a rough week. Not for anything in particular just a lot going on. I'm not sure if maybe the stars are aligned weird because I know quite a few people who felt the same. I will be happy when my clock reads 5:00 pm on Friday.

Anywho...... enough of my sob story........ When you have a rough week I have 2 little ones floating around who can always make me smile.

Especially when one decides she is BIG enough to dress herself with anything she can get her hands on.

Or who cannot smile when you have these 3 cute faces looking back at you (This picture was not taken this week but it is still worth smiling at!)

Or when you just might have a future baseball player in the fam.......?

All in all I am thankful for my family and everything they bring me. Such joy.....even when they are constantly fighting!
