Sister Night

So, the other night I suggested a "sister night" to Mary and she agreed! I waited all day to hear what excuse she had to cancel, and she actually planned on coming! Anyhow, she got here just in time to read to the babies. They just loved it! Here's a few pics...

 

 

"Shhhh...MiMi's reading mama!"

 

Poot and Bub being silly!

 

"Hey now...mimi is trying to read to you!"

 

Blurry pic but I love how Poot is getting so excited over the story!

 

 

 

The rest of the night I spent making the kids Thanksgiving Indian costumes. I shouldve took pics. Anyhow, Mary or "Mimi" and I worked on a few things in our sister book that we have decided to do.... With Crystal dying, we realized how much we have missed out on each other so we're gonna try to do a sister night at least once a month and make a sister book every year of all of our likes, dislikes, etc. I hope we can make this a tradition. Due to the time limit, we only got to ask a few questions before we got too sleepy...

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was awesome as it alwasy is. This year we had turkey & ham!!! It was very special to spend it with the ones we love the most.

Great Aunt Lisa and Livi

Noah playing in the designated "toy room" :)

Mikey, Kim, and Kaylen

The best part of the visit. Paw Paw drawing bugs on my babies. When this tradition started, I don't know, but all paw paws should do this. :)

Sweet Carlie. Growing up way too fast.  

Candice and Lexi. Beauty Queens! :)

"Sure I'll go with you Aunt Kim!"

Look at sweet Gavin's smile!

Father's Day

As an unspoken rule on father's day, I got the kids up and let Dusty sleep in. What would Father's day be if it didn't start out that way, right? Anyhow, while I made breakfast, I got the kids to paint on a sheet of paper so that we could give it to daddy for father's day. They had a complete blast!!!

I cooked him one of his favorite meals...breakfast tacos and we went and got him up. Since he's so hard to shop for, I made him some coupons which I know he will cash in within a few days, lol. Love you Dusty.
And of course, lets not forget my dad and Dusty's dad on Father's day!

3rd Mother's Day

Today was my official 3rd mother's day. I woke up with the sound of Livi crying, so we went to the kitchen to get a bottle and Noah and Dusty were waiting with "homemade" McDonalds (Steak, egg, and cheese bagel, which I love!) and tea of course. And beside that, a beautiful bouquet of pink and white roses with the most beautiful mothers day card ever!!! How wonderful! Oh how I love my family. I am so thankful for my wonderful husband and two sweet babies. What would I do without them? Where would I be without them? I just can't believe how increadibly lucky I am to have them in my life. And in case you're wondering, One of my nicknames is maw maw (see the card!).

After we all had a nap, I took my mom out to lunch at Cheddars. My mom is simple it's so hard to buy gifts for her because she doesn't need anything, so a meal is the perfect thing for her. She of course had to bring me roses, and I thought that was just the greatest thing.

Then we went to cheddars and had a nice lunch. I love my mom so much. Unfortunetly I didn't get a pic of my mom this day, but I thought I'd share a few of my own to honor her...

Early Easter

Today, we went over to Dusty's mom's family's side to hunt easter eggs. Thank goodness I got off early so I could go home and get a little shut eye. It's always a little weird when we go to that side because up until I got prego, we really didn't go over there. It feels a little weird and everytime I have every intention to talk, but I freeze up and I don't say anything and it makes me look stuck up. Man, I've gotta work on that.

Our niece Kaylen and Noah

Nanny and Olivia

Finally after two years, our first official family photo!!!

Noah would not leave the "hee haw" alone...so cute

Sneaking a peek at the easter bunny hiding the eggs

Dusty's sister's family

Tryin to get a group shot....look at livi's face in this one!

Still tryin....

Such a cute little smile!!!

Needless to say, out of about ten group shots, all of them had some sort of flaw, but it was fun trying to get that many kids to look in the same direction at the same time!
