If you are leaving, I am coming WITH you....

So Brian is off to train in CA for hopefully just 6 weeks! While he was packing Abbey decided that she could fit right in those bags and she could go too!!!

It's moments like these that make us realize how great our little family is!

What's that in the day pack?!!!

A- bag (funny that name is perfect for this! A=abbey

1st day of school revision (NOT so lonely after all)

Thought I better write a quick note post first day of school pick up!

Don't feel bad for me, turns out it wasn't so bad.... truthfully it was quite relaxing!!!

Guess I should chill a bit before I freak a bit!!!

Lonely, I'm so lonely... aka- 1st day of school

So it's official...

I am a stay at home by myself mom!

cue sad violin...

School started today. Meaning Kassidy is in the 3rd grade and Abbey is a big all-day Kindergartener! Really meaning... I AM ALONE!!!!

Too many emotions. You "wait for this day" from the time they are born talking about all your freedom, etc. On the other hand, you spend all their lives hanging out and playing. They are your built-in buddies so you are never alone.

So today we left our tiny little girl at her giant table and I went home alone!
Are you feeling sorry for me yet?! ha ha
Lucky for me, I haulted ALL home improvement project just for this time. Knowing I would need something to keep me busy with Brian leaving tomorrow for 1 1/2 months and me with no kids.

So here's to smart kids and a lovely home!

Sassy!

Breakfast of "sausagy rolls" made with LOVE! (dorky...yes)

Her Jonas Brother's bag she HAD to have

Look at those long chicken legs!

Awhhhh

Note the NO make-up just in case of a melt down. I look soooo nice!! :)

Too cute. Brian and I ate up this moment because he will be in Iraq on the last day of school and the first day next year so we enjoyed every little moment!

I love my eternal family!

Our newest neice Olivia Grace

This is super late but she's so cute i had to share.
A couple weeks ago we were able to go to Flagstaff to see our newest neice Olivia be blessed. It was a nice trip to play with scott and danielle's girls. We have never lived close enough to pay visits so it was nice. She is so good. She just sits in her bouncy and watches the world. The girls of course thought we needed a baby too because they are "soooooo cute!" I told them they can have all the babies they want when they get married!

Papa Larry with Charlotte, Abs and Kassidy
Awhhhh

Isn't she just so cute?!!!!
