Family Update

Wes and I enjoyed an adult night out with dinner at a Japanese steakhouse followed by the PBR. The kids enjoyed an evening at home with their cousins and Grandma. And I just LOOOVED coming home to the smell of baked chocolate chip cookies and having some no bakes sitting out on the counter ready to eat. I didn't care how late it was, I was having me a snack. So glad that Wes's cousin and fiance were able to come for the weekend and spend some time with us.

















Not sure what kind of reward this is, but Jaidyn's class earned enough marbles in their jar to have an "injury" day. Jaidyn has been talking about this as their class choice for the past two weeks and would come home after school and report back how many more marbles they needed. Wes bandaged her up pretty good, but we had still talk her out of putting fake blood all over her body.


Addy has Johnny Appleseed day tomorrow and we have no overalls for her to wear...time to get creative.

Welcoming Fall

September is here and so are all the fun activities that accompany it...

A Mini Tailgate and a Hometown Football Game with Friends on Friday

Silver Dollar City with Friends on Saturday

The "Buddies" closely examining the map.


Powder Keg Roller Coaster...thankfully we rode it first. Jaidyn and Addy hated every minute of it and we would have never gotten them on it later in the day.












Addy is not happy with me for making her ride the "BABY" ride with Levi.











Picnic Lunch at The Park after Church & Wickman's Nursery Fall Festival on Sunday











Deciding which animal balloon to be made is a serious decision.


Levi and his purple spider, Jaidyn and her giraffe and Addy with a silly hat.

Heath & Brittney's Wedding

Congratulations to the newlyweds, Heath & Brittney. I don't think they could have asked for a more beautiful day (maybe cooler temps, but overall just perfect). The barn setting was so warm, inviting and truly had an elegant feel. Having Brittney's Grandpa as the officiant was wonderful and meaningful. I loved all the sweet and simple personal touches of the wedding. Jaidyn and Addy had a wonderful time stomping around in their boots and their darling flower girl attire while Levi and Reid couldn't look more handsome in their overalls.

Reid is just a little over the 7 months mark and his new favorite game is throwing his toys off the couch so he can watch me pick each of them up. :)

Giving me a sneaky little grin!


It was the last lake weekend before next summer rolls around so roasting some smores felt appropriate to welcome the fall season.
