September

September was a busy time for us. I was so looking forward to school and schedule, but quickly learned that this year would be non-stop. I guess I committed to too much this year. Since it is our first year to attempt gymnastics and ballet for B girl, that in itself has been an adjustment. She LOVES every second of it though, so I'm more than happy to make it work! We also added Wednesday nights to our routine. That's been tough for us, but again, well worth it! The days start around 4-5 for me and end around 9-10. It is very typical that there is still one child awake at that time lying across our bed...Wouldn't trade it for the world, but it's a tiring season we are in. 
This little bit is into EVERY.THING. not toys, but cabinets....she's not picky, any cabinet will do ☺️
She is sweet though, so very sweet. She loves to cuddle with Daddy and Mimi. Me, not so much. I know she loves me, but boy do her and her daddy have a special thing going. She adores that man.
Her teacher, Mrs. Whitney took these sweet shot at the playground one day. How amazing to get this special treat sent after school one day. I seriously love Covenant and I'm so very thankful for it.


Sweet buddies. AK still pushes her head against us to show us love. I feel certain that is her version of a hug.
These kiddos sure do LOVE the van. (and so does Momma). This video system is just genius. I'm not sure how I got along without it.
bedtime cuddles are just the best.

4 am wake ups are so hard.
This little girl sure is getting big fast. I've been telling everyone she is 18 mo. I just realized we are nearing 20!

Getting ready for Halloween is so fun with these little ones!


Girl can eat a corn dog. ☺️
Doodle found Blakely's headphones and danced around for over 30 min pretending she was listening to music.
Here's another one showing off those dancing moves.

These are a few of my favorite people on earth.💕
B begged and begged to 'sleep in her box' and we walked in to this as we were headed to bed. She drew out a 'sleepy carrot'. This is a thing I've been meaning to blog about. One of those things that you just don't want to forget. Parker and Blakely love sharing a room. They would play for hours and hours (and do) if we let them. They have this language they speak to each other that doesn't make much sense. One of those is sleepy carrot. I learned from Parker the other day that when he gets quiet B will ask "sleepy carrot??" and Parker will reply: 'sleepy carrot' which means he wants to go on to sleep. 😜
We are starting to enjoy our downstairs. The process sure has been slow, but it is coming together.
One of my favorite memories in life is our out to eat time with Mimi. This picture is when we went to Mellow Mushroom this month. It makes me SO excited for our upcoming trip to the Mountains in less than a month!!!

Little miss is just too much in these pjs. After I saw her in these, I just knew she HAD to be a zebra for Halloween!

We've been loving craft time lately getting us in the mood for Halloween and Fall!!!

Summer '16 Family Pictures

We FINALLY had some pictures taken of our family this summer! They turned out really cute!



 The kiddos were not cooperating AT ALL, so I am totally and completely impressed that Ashley got any pictures, especially adorable ones like these ☺️
