we decided that with nothing on our calendar for the day, what better way to spend it than with my mom?

Dsc 0033-6Dsc 0029-3Dsc 0026-12 she fell in love with a little rolly poly bug today. named him rolly poly poly. she is just growing up so quickly, i love the middle shot of her!

Dsc 0040-6Dsc 0020-5Dsc 0038-6 there was alot of outdoor time- which i love! a day filled with finding bugs, swinging, bubbles, and sand play…
while mari and daddy napped, mom, emi, and i headed out and saw *UP*. yes, it was the 2nd time for emi and i this week, but simply put: it is that good! after more outside play, we had a yummy ribs dinner, made sure we stayed until my dad got home from work to give him some love, and then packed in and headed home!

i love you dh.
i love you emi.
i love you mari.
i love you mom.
i love you dad.

so so so very much. thank you for an awesome day!

are you so gonna cry when i’m 11 daddy?   

i forgot this bit that brian recounted for me while on the way to the range this evening:
emi: are you so gonna cry when i’m 11 daddy?
brian: why 11 emi?
emi: because that’s when i get my next shots!
brian: you remembered that from when? the last time you were at the drs?
emi: yes
brian: when were you at the drs last?
emi: when i was 7! [ok she just turned 7 this past april]

this kid cracks us up:)

happy friday!   

today was another day filled with many emotions, and an end to a very challenging and amazing week:)
both girls had school today.
caught up with a few moms at school. so good to have them in my life, esp. those with older siblings so we have a flash of what is yet to come…
after making a bucks run, nicole and i got our scrap on while the girls were in school:)
[high five ourselves as she would say!], we were so productive:) she started a beautiful layout for an assignment, and i tackled our next card swap. and miss avery was having a ball on our table and our floor. she has the most infectious giggle!
after school, mari wasn’t that tired, and i was surprised given she woke up at o’dark thirty this morning. after lunch, some snuggle and wiggles time, we both crashed for a bit before picking up big sisser!
we ran some quick errands and got caught in the 5 minute down pour in flip flops, but we were all good:)
then, miss emi chose to take daddy golfing for her date night. my dh said she was swinging really well, and she will tell you simply that she did awesome! i just love that they both found a sport they love to do together.
mari and i picked up some dinner along the way, and had an impromptu playdate:)
bubbles + potty time + giggles + wiggles + chase me + girls being girls = FUN!
after the girls were tucked in, i finished my cards for the upcoming card swap and created work that i cannot quite share yet…will be announced next month!

missed croppin with all the girls, but family comes first:)
and there have been so so many reminders this week, that He put me here for a reason. that is to be a Mommy. i’m right where i need to be.

love, peace and hair grease [can i get a holla???] love and miss you kristin:)
blessings,
erin
