Random Pictures

I like to think of my blog is a way to connect my
out of state family with my family but
also it is my personal picture journal :)
Sometimes I just need to document
cute everyday memories that deserve 
more than just phone storage!
This beauty modeled this vintage Rainbow Brite
costume for my Etsy shop.
It sold in a week and in case your wondering
                                                      I paid $4 for it and sold it for $75!
She was very excited when we shipped it off.
I bought her a treat for helping me work and she 
can't wait for the next modeling gig :)

Shiloh is such a sweet loving dog.
She is the PERFECT kid dog,
She also makes the perfect Dr. patient.



Why does Gabriella put her hands under her chin
 for every picture, I have no idea.
It reminds me of Kirstin's pirate eye stage.
You get the camera out and that's the natural reaction lol.

One afternoon I walked into the living room
and teared up at this.
This is the largest couch we have ever owned.
But if you zoom in there is 5 little heads all on one 
corner watching a movie together as
 if it's the only seat available.💓

"Hey mama do you see anything different?"
🤣🤣🤣

We were all taking turns playing 
old school Nintendo Mario and I looked
over a saw a big girl pony tail!
*insert mama tears*


Daniel very rarely takes naps these days
but when he does I swear it is almost 
always on Samson.

Ninja all day everyday 😎

First November Snow

I can't remember the last time we 
had a decent snow in November but
It was fun and pretty.





These adorable cuties enjoyed throwing
mini snowballs at each other 💗💗

Welcome to the National Honor Society

Back in late September the National Honor Society
reached out to students who qualify to join
and asked them to apply and write an essay.
Her and 12 or 13 other students were chosen.








Her bestie Charles.

She came home from school on Monday and
said "I need to ask off from work so I can
 go to the National Honor Society ceremony"
I instantly realized just how cool she really is!!
We are super proud of you Kirstin!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

It's My Birthday!

This is what a perfect birthday weekend looks
like for a 35 year old mama.

Derek made 90 yes 90 amazing homemade
meatballs which are his specialty.
He learned how to make them from
his very elderly Italian woman
who lived next door to him when he was 20.(ish)
They are out of this world.
He  spent all day Friday making them
and homemade sauce.
By Sunday every last meatball had 
been eaten. Yea, they are that good!

Kirstin made me a red velvet cake from scratch before 
she headed out to work.Derek and Kaveri finished it
up with to die for cream cheese frosting!
And they made it turquoise bc its one
of my favorite colors.



I realized these are the moments I really hate
that Kirstin has a set schedule determined
by someone other than myself 🤣
We missed her 💔

Stargazer lilies have always been my favorite.
They are so pretty and smell so good. 
It's been 10 days since my birthday and they are
still looking great 💮

I got lots of love and attention.
Even breakfast in bed!
Thanks to my fam for making it a really special 35!

No Tricks Just Treats

First things first, MiKayla's school had each kid 
walk across the stage to show off their costumes.

A few days before MiKayla and I were talking about
what she was going to dress up as.
She randomly said a "present" would be fun and unique.
We headed to the dollar tree and got some supplies and 
she was the cutest gift you ever saw!
*pats self on back*

This was Kirstins first year not 
trick or treating with us.
She had to work but
she did paint her nails fun colors
bc that was all she was aloud to do🎃🎃
We have a birthday present, Mike and Sully from
Monsters Inc., a deer, and spiderman of course.
What you can't see if a 3 year old princess
refusing to take pictures as if I'm paparazzi 
and shes royalty.


It was sprinkling for most of the night but 
at least it wasn't freezing.
