Going home

We had a great time last weekend traveling back home to visit all of our families. It is so fun to watch the kids with their grandparents and great grandparents. They are so at home in every house and have so much fun. They find all the toys that they only see every once in a while and play with those more than the toys they just ripped out of packages. We all received lots of great gifts and had tons of delicious food. We couldn't help but have happy hearts as we drove home Monday. Warning: there are a ton of pictures so please be aware it might take some time.

Kyndall having some fun with daddy and Grandpa


Grandpa opening his popcorn :)


Kyndall adores her bunny cages and was found several times loving on her little ones


Ella lovin' on Santa


Grandma Sue got the girls some fantastic Winnie the Pooh books that she is reading (it is recorded). The girls just love this present and Kyndall can still be found listening to it. It is really a precious gift that they will have forever.


Daddy helping us with some gifts.

Paging Dr. Kyndall


Ella practicing her T-ball. Since this time we have seen a little star emerge. Little did we know she could hit the pitched ball without the tee.


Kyndall running for her turn at the tee


It was a Playmobile kind of Christmas and man I have to say that these are the best toys for kiddos. There are tons of little pieces BUT that allows them to be so creative. The girls play with each set daily and I just love joining in.


See these little guys...they are Kyndall's favorite


She pushed the button and watched them clog over and over. It was rather cute.


My mom's amazing amerylis.


The girls both got some dolls that they can dress and comb their hair. They are super excited and the dolls have been with us every step of our days since. I love how Chase makes presents even more exciting, even if it is a doll.


Ohhhh new smoking robe....ok maybe not smoking robe but a nice bath robe ;)


It was a very homemade Christmas from us. Meagan loved her magnet board!!


I loved my adorable new cloche with this precious babe on the top. I <3 my sister!!

Speaking of sister. God gives us sisters so that we will never be alone in this world, I truely believe this. My sister and I always have so much fun and many times I need that. Here is what I have to deal with

Yeah, like wet willies haven't always been around in our house!!


After looking at how stupid we looked laying on the floor, we couldn't stop laughing


See I consider myself very lucky to have a sister that makes me smile. Ok back to family


Enjoying some floor time with my girls in the sun


Kyndall getting her play on


Enjoying some tea with Great Grandma. My girls are very blessed to have her in their lives.


Kyndall getting some love from her other Great Grandma. Again, my girls are so blessed to know these women.

As mom of a son, anytime you see this face.....

you know there is trouble.

This is what was in that box. As if my son doesn't already have an arsenol of nerf guns, now we have added a machine gun complete with a automatic stand. Happy happy joy joy....ok so maybe I have fired it once while the girls were napping yesterday or maybe twice...


We had a lot of fun with the nerf oozey. I am not so sure that Kyndall likes it.

She unfortunately was the target at first and then was begging for it. It was good times all around.

With a new year comes lots of resolutions. And with all the traditional, lose weight and eat healthier, I have a new one. I want to take this last half of Ella's home to really soak her in. I want to spoil her rotten with crafts and games and fun moments with mom that she will live on for the rest of her life. And not just for her but for all the kids. I want to focus more on them and less on my businesses or my house. Those can wait. I mean look at them:


Love this little girl.





They are so precious and I know that my time is very limited with them. I am really looking forward to this new us. Happy New Year to all of you that made it through this blog!! Love you all!!
