Taming the Insanity

I'm a slacker . . .

I had great intentions to do "A Week In The Life" . . . but, I haven't started it yet.  I guess one of the great things about that project is it can be any week!  It is a project I definitely want to do.  I love this time in my life.  This is a place I want to look back on for years and years.

If I had started it last week, one of the highlights of the week for sure would've been our Girls' Night Out!!  Me, Carina and my good friend Debbie took our 7 girls to go see High School Musical 3!!  Very cute!  And seriously, so fun!  I got all the girls matching HSM 3 shirts to wear and they were so exicted to go!  They all loved it . . . even though one of them fell asleep.  It was a super fun night!

 

Abby was a little bummed she didn't get an HSM shirt . . . but she got over it!  Katy was gone for the weekend to the Revolve Tour - which she LOVED!  She said Natalie Grant was amazing - I can only imagine.

Like I said . . . I love this time of my life.  Thank you Jesus for my many many blessings.

A week in our lives . . .

For the past couple of weeks, the incredibly talented  Ali Edwards has been talking about A Week In The Life project she was doing and encouraged others to do as well.  Basically, it is a documentation of every day details in your life . . . the kind of things you don't want to forget but usually do.  Like crazy hair in the morning and snuggled up sisters reading a book before bed.  I always think those are the things I wont forget, but do.  So, I plan to start tomorrow, documenting our lives for the week . . . all those little details.

Speaking of details . . . we went last weekend to the pumpkin patch with our good friends and had a fabulous picnic lunch and fun.  I love days like this . . . just relaxing, hanging out, being with the girls.  And it is such a great reminder too that we have been blessed with such great friends . . . who love our kids . . . our own self made family at times, since our family is so far away.

 

All the kids . . .

       

Serious goofballs . . .

 

Their picks . . . I know, they seriously need bang cuts . . .

And here is a pic of Katy's team . . . I'm so sad this is her last year of cheering.  She is so fun to watch.

"Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the LORD, saying, 'The LORD is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.'"  1 Samuel 20:42

I remember . . . thank you.

My girlfriend Nicole sent this to me last night.  Normally, I don't watch these, but this one really moved me.  I want to say, I remember, I have not forgotten and thank you.
