Viva Las Vegas!

2015-04-29T19:14:00.001-05:00

This past weekend Brent and I got the chance to take a fun little getaway to Vegas!

Brent and I stayed at Ceasera Palace. It was beautiful!

We had a great view from our room!

After a LONG day of traveling Friday, we were excited to head out Friday night to see the town.

After sleeping in, we explorered the town Saturday. We walked ALL over to every different hotel. I told Brent since I was only there 2 days I wanted to see everything ... And that we did!

Saturday night, we met up

with some of Brent's customers and went to the Brittany spears concert!

Brent was soo excited! Ha

It was a pretty good show!

Sunday I flew home to see my sweet girls while Brent stayed in Vegas for the week.

Thankful for Brent's job that includes wife's on fun trips like this one!!

And I am also so thankful for my parents who kept the girls all weekend and did some pretty fun things with them!!

But I sure was excited to snuggle these sweet babies!!

2015-02-14T00:26:00.001-06:00

So this year we didn't have our typical Christmas... Everyone came down with the flu!

But.... That didn't stop us from celebrating Jesus birthday. We missed our Christmas Eve service at church but had our own little candle light service at home.. It was a sweet memory we won't forget!

We decorated cookies to get ready for Santa...

And I know he enjoyed those! ;)

Then made our birthday cake for Jesus and sang before bed!

At 4 o'clock we had a little wake up call from two little girls that SANTA came..

So of course we had to get up and play a little while before heading back to bed!

That morning after everyone was up and around we had breakfast then headed over to My parents for Christmas.

Even though it wasn't the Christmas I had planned... God taught me to sit back, relax and enjoy these special moments with my sweet little family in the business of the holiday. I am thankful for this sweet time even though none of us felt great!

Happy birthday Jesus!!

'twas the night before school...

We had a special little treat for Addison.

I thought it would be fun to start a new family tradition the night before school for the girls to get a new set of pjs and a new book about school.

Addison was so excited!

She woke up extra early the next morning ready to go

And told me, "I was just too excited to sleep!"

Her with her backpack...

She walked into her class with barely saying bye.

Addison had a fabulous 1st day and couldnt wait to go back.

I was so excited for vacation this year!

It was the 1st time just us four went to the beach as a family.

Addison waited all summer, so when the day finally was here she could hardly wait.

We flew which was great and hard all in one.

Before I blog about our week at the beach, I wanted to share about Addison's birthday!

We had such a fun day!

That morning we met my mom for pedicures, stopped by build-a-bear for a special little treat, then went to lunch.

Addison got to decide what we did that night and she picked bowling and putt-putt.

She had the best time and so did we!

Yesterday, we celebrated Addison's 4th birthday with some of our friends and family.

She is obsessed with Frozen, so of course we had to have a winter wonderland birthday theme!

Here is a few of the little details...

Party planning is one of my absolute favorite things to do and with Addison's big smile telling me everything was PERFECT makes it even more fun!

Queen Elsa

Best of Friends Addi and Rah!

These sweet friends had the best time together!

We are so Thankful for everyone that helped us celebrate our sweet Addison!

She is such a blessing and we are so lucky to be able to call her ours.

Happy Party Day A!

We LOVE you!

Welcome home soldier!

2014-07-23T21:01:00.001-05:00

Two little girls were pretty excited their uncle Caleb is home!!

Welcome home Caleb, we are proud of you!!

Busy Bees

2014-07-15T17:10:00.000-05:00

We have been beyond busy the past two weeks.

Addison had swimming lessons everyday in the morning.
She was not a big fan of it this year.

We are going through a stage where we don't want to get our face/ hair wet or be splashed.... Please Tell me how that works in a pool with a bunch of other 4 year olds! Ha

I was so thankful for her teachers this year. They were very patient and great with all the kids!

But I am glad that it is over and hoping next year goes a little better or we are going to be in level one until she is 10!

We also had vacation bible school every night. Brent stayed home with Saylor while Addi and I went. It was fun to spend time with just her!

And she loved seeing her friends every night.

Friday, we had a bridal luncheon for our good friend Rachel's wedding. She asked Addison to be the flower girl and she was beyond excited. Rachel's brother was the ring bear in my wedding so it was neat to see Addison doing something special for her day!

Her gift for being in the wedding was so special... Mrs. Esther's sister made her a "Elsa" dress! She absulotly LOVED it!

Something we will cherish and play in everyday! :)

After, she went with all the big girls to have her nails done (ofcourse in her Elsa dress) and then to the rehearsal dinner that night.

Saturday she did great!! She has officially mastered the flower girl job!

It was such a fun wedding with a beautiful bride!

Sunday the girls slept until 9..We wore them out!! That afternoon we celebrated uncle Kyle's birthday at my parents house. We sure do love him.

Monday.... we did absolutely nothing.

And i am so thankful for that.

We had a fun busy 2 weeks but I am glad to slow down and have a little down time before Addison's birthday and vacation!

Family, Fireworks, and the 4th!

2014-07-09T15:03:00.003-05:00

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. Who doesn't like cookouts, hanging out with the ones you love and of course Fireworks??

This year we started our holiday off at our church firework show. Fireworks at the crosses is one of my favorite activities our church does. It reaches so many in the community and is so neat to watch them baptize 100+ people under the crosses.

Addison is at a fun (hard) age and LOVED the fireworks this year.. Saylor did great as well!

The weather was beautiful the entire week..

So we enjoyed the Rodeo of the Ozark parade Wednesday.

Then we headed to the mall fireworks Thursday night.

They were LOUD!

The 4th we had breakfast out, did a little grocery shopping, came home and rested and spent that afternoon at Brents Grandparents.

The girls had a great time!

Saturday night we ended our fun weekend with the fireworks at the rodeo.

( I think both girls were done watching fireworks by this time haha)

We had such a fun week and weekend!

While we were all celebrating at home, my parents went to go watch my brother, Caleb, graduate from LDAC.

He is one step closer to becoming a US Army Solider

and we are so proud of him!

We are so Thankful for all the men and women who have fought and are still fighting for our country so that our family could have a fun week celebrating the 4th!!

Hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as we did!

Happy 9 Months Saylor Brooke!

Brent has been traveling a lot lately.. 3 weeks out of the last month to be exact!

While daddy's gone I try to stay busy and enjoy my time with just the girls and I.

It's hard, tiring, lonely and did I mention tiring, but I know I will look back on these days and cherish them. I won't ever get this time back... So I am enjoying this sweet season of life and choosing joy.

( Let me remind you it is 11:00 pm and I am laying on the floor in the girls room trying to get both of them to sleep as I type this.. But I am choosing JOY! Lol )

We have stayed busy this week with....

Summer bible study. It started back up and Can you tell the girls were excited to see friends and learn about Jesus!

Enjoying a few days spent at the pool!

Uncle Kyle has been in town this week so we have enjoyed him hanging around us!

Pretending to be robots at library storytime!

Late night ice cream dates to this little ones favorite... TCBY!

Trying to do my best multi tasking with bathtime.. ( I sent this to Brent and his response was.. " must be a Mom thing!" Hahaha)

Tomorrow... TOMORROW daddy comes home! Yay!

I know my girls are beyond ready to squeeze his neck!
