Tired Girl

While I was off having a girl's night, Chris was at home having an evening with his girl. She must have been ready for bed because she climbed into Harley's bed, pulled his blanket up and took a little snooze.

Isn't she silly? As soon as daddy realized she was trying to go to sleep in there he got her ready for bed but by this time she was full steam ahead again!

School Project

A few days ago when I dropped Devin off at school, her teachers handed me this yellow piece of paper with "My Family Picture" written across the top. They said they were asking parents to attach or draw a family picture and bring it back and they would hang them all on the wall. Well, the wheels in my head started turning and my imagination started going a little wild and I was trying to remember if we even had a family picture that was worthy of putting on this. I decided to include multiple pictures of Devin with me, her daddy and her sissy instead. I even got out my scrap booking suitcase which hasn't really come out of the closet since shortly after we got married, oh, almost 6 years ago. :)



I had so much fun making this and was so proud to hand it in this morning for the wall. Sometimes it's the little things that excite me! I think I need to scrapbook a little more too because it really brought me pleasure. It will be so much fun in a few years when Devin is old enough to make her own pages too. In the meantime, Kortnee and I totally need to get all over this because this would be right up her alley!

Have you ever...

Seen two cuter little girls than these two...

Paradise in the City

My Uncle Rick has a landscaping company here in the city. He has this great little property sort of tucked away off a really busy street that is a like a little piece of paradise right in the middle of the city. I remember going there when he first bought the land and it needed so much clearing and work. Now it is a fabulous little place.

He has birds....

Maternal Instincts

It amazes me at how fast little girls start acting like little girls and boys little little boys. Don't get me wrong, Devin loves cars and "boy" toys too, but her little maternal instincts have come out full force and it is just so sweet.
