Some of April 2017

This month (like every month) has been crazy busy.  There have some some special and some fun events that deserve posts of their own....but here are some of the pictures from our ordinary days.  The details you don't want to every forget.  

Addison made a poster for her count down to the Girl Scout Day at the K for selling over 300 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.  She wanted some pictures of her and I on the poster.  So we snapped a few fun ones, had them printed up, and put them on her poster.  She crosses off a day every night.  She will get to march on the field at the game, will get a $20 voucher for spending, and 2 tickets to the game!  It will be fun! 


Ginger and Rosie always have fun playing outside together.  They do play rough at times, but they always have fun! 


They run and run, then they usually lay around and take a break!  


Lauren is rocking soccer this Spring season.  She has improved so much this year being on an Academy Team.  We are so proud of her!  


Her and Paityn continue to be the best of friends on and off the soccer field. We love Paityn's family as well.  

Mark an I celebrated 14 years with a traditional dinner at The Melting Pot.  It has been our tradition for almost 10 years now.  


The girls begged and begged for a baby brother after they spent the morning babysitting Grayson.  The girls were a huge help making sure Grayson did not see his Mom while we were all working outside in the yard, in the garage, on the back deck, etc....


This is one of my all time favorite pictures of Mark and the girls.  It came up on my Time Hop this month. 


I took my little girls to Wayside Waifs to finish up our Pets badge.  It is an amazing organization and we had a great tour.  Addison and I are planning on volunteering soon. 


This little dog stole their hearts.  Addison begged for a small puppy.  Mark keeps saying No. 



I  have successfully weaned myself off coffee yet again.  Instead I enjoy hot tea from Arbonne.  Such a great feeling to be off coffee.  I was addicted a little too much. 


We spent a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at the Kite Festival.  We have not been able to go the past few years due to soccer.  I am so glad we made it this year! 


Do you see the size of that kite behind the girls? 


We enjoyed cotton candy, pop corn, funnel cakes, and a walking taco salad.  We packed snacks, the soccer ball, and a kite and just hung out all afternoon and relaxed. 



Lauren tried to convince everyone she was injured at her soccer game.  Instead she just threw red Gatorade on her head...and stained her soccer uniform, socks, sports bra, and her scalp was red for several days...I was not impressed.  


Easter was fun.  I love seeing the girls all dressed up.  Even if it's only for a few hours anyway! 



Selfies like this on my camera make me smile.  Such a beautiful young lady! 



Still hunting for eggs and loving that they had some $$ in their eggs this year. 


I am so proud of Addison and her friend Sydney.  They tried out for the talent show at school!  They didn't make it, but they practiced so hard and had so much fun while they were doing it.  These two are best buddies, share the exact same birthday, and live only a few houses away from each other.  Sydney is a great little friend to have. 


My walking and running buddy Ginger.  She does so much better on the leash than Zoe did.  We take Ginger for lots of walks and we both love it.

Easter 2015

It seems like Easter weekend was forever ago.  It was only last weekend, but our weeks are so busy and jam packed days just fly by.  But, I want to remember Easter 2015, so here it finally is! 


High heal sandals and all.  Addison is all about style.  


Lauren was begging to get her dress off seconds after she put in on.  But, don't you think she looks gorgeous?  She is turning into a beautiful young lady. 



Their true personalities shining through.  




Lauren assumed her role of taking care of Sophie and Addison and Claire took off and we hardly ever say them! 


We enjoyed an Easter egg hunt...



Then Lauren wanted to do an egg toss.  We had a lot of fun doing that and enjoying the gorgeous afternoon.  


Addison took part in the fun as well! 

It was a great Easter spent with family.  Definitely some great memories made with our cousins!

Easter Weekend

This was a gorgeous Easter Weekend!  We spent Saturday at the Kite Festival in Lee's Summit.  We have gone 3 years in a row now and it is so much fun.  


This year, we finally brought our own kites to fly as well.  

 It was such a windy day, that is was pretty easy to fly our kite!


We grabbed Subway and enjoyed a picnic lunch.


Lauren participated in the candy drop and brought back tons of candy for her and Addison.


Mark bought 2 funnel cakes because he thought we needed 2????  Oh my, both of us felt sick that afternoon after finishing both of them!


Both girls looked gorgeous Easter morning.  


They were both very cooperative and patient as I snapped away! 


After a while I got some great smiles. 




Lauren did an amazing job getting this picture! 



Addison felt like leopard needed to be in several of the pictures. 


After church we headed to Gramps and Nana's house.  We enjoyed a wonderful meal and an Easter egg hunt.  


Nana had cream soda for the girls, so they toasted a few times. 



Sophie tried her best to keep up with the big kids. 


The best part is definitely going through all the eggs. 


Then we tried very hard to get some pictures of the grand kids.
