A Picture Update

TGIF everyone!  

While the girls had their first days of school last week, my first day of year 19 was on Tuesday.  It went well but I'm EXHAUSTED.  But grateful for a new school building and teacher friend BFFs!

I didn't take too many pictures this week.  But here are a couple of Luna and Maya being cute and crazy as usual.

And then there was dinner and playtime/color time with G-ma and a pretty evening sky.

Have a great weekend!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Monday!  The long weekend flew by and we had a great time!  

We spent most of Saturday doing chores. Chris and Maya cleaned out the garage...the girls and I cleaned up in the house...I did SO MUCH LAUNDRY...etc.  Later the girls did a round of tie-dye with a kit Maya got for her birthday.

Then Uncle Dan, Auntie Hanna, Mitchell and Isla came over for dinner, playtime and s'mores on the fire!

There was lots of cousin chaos.  It was a blast!

On Sunday we FaceTimed with Baby Avery again (and Boom and Auntie Yoda)!  Callie and I did errands and stopped for Starbucks and then the girls and I met Jennifer and her kids at a park for a bit.

Then we had deck dinner round 2 with Boom, Auntie Yoda, Uncle Craigles, Lucy and Mila!  There was more cousin chaos, some baseball, ice cream and fun.

This morning was a pretty one for a quick run. 

We met Auntie Cat at the nature center for some nature walking and a hike, and then met Pa for lunch!

All in all, it was a great weekend, and now the full-blown school year craziness will begin!



Have a lovely week!

A Picture Update: AVERY LYNNE IS HERE!!!

Hi all!! 

Firstly, I’m SO EXCITED to share that Chris and I have a new NIECE and the girls have a new COUSIN!!!

Auntie Mari and Uncle Josh welcomed Avery Lynne on Saturday 8/27 at 11:01pm. She is ADORABLE and we love getting multiple daily pictures. We even got to FaceTime in the hospital on Sunday! 

They are doing really well at home and we cannot WAIT to meet her in person! 

As for the rest of the week…Monday was Callie’s first day of 7th grade! 

And Maya hung out with Boom.

Tuesday was Maya’s first day of 4th grade!

On Wednesday I had a long day at work, and a bunch of weird photos showed up on my phone from the girls at home.

On Thursday Callie went to the beach with the Dahlen's and later Jennifer and I went out for margaritas.

Today Chris took the day off and took the Dahlen kids to a park and then to our house for lunch.  Then Mitchell and Isla had yummy cookies delivered to celebrate the first week of school!

My week was crazy.  My school moved buildings so we spent a lot of time hauling furniture around, building furniture, etc.  So here is a before and after of my new office!

Have a lovely long weekend!  I'll be back on MONDAY with the weekend wrap-up.

TGIF!  Happy Friday.  I am so tired, but made it through the first three days back to work.  Here are the pics from the week!

On Monday I finished a puzzle and the girls hung out with Auntie Cat.  Callie also used tape and nail polish to create fake nails...

On Monday night we did some snuggling.

On Tuesday the girls both had their annual check-ups and then we met Boom at Minnehaha Falls for a short hike.

Later we met the Dahlens at the beach!

I went back to work on Wednesday, and Chris had a busy day at work, so the girls spent Wednesday with Boom and Mila!

On Thursday we went to the Dahlen's house for dinner and then I FaceTimed with my mom and sisters because MARI IS HAVING HER BABY SO SOOOOOON!!!!
