Sunsets

I love the Sunsets out the back of our house! They can be so amazing and cameras don't do them justice! It is amazing how the sunsets move across the horizon through the summer and how they are more to the right(north) now then they were in early spring!

Kids

The kids love to go to Andrew's office. I try to stay away because they love to try glasses on and then they all need to be cleaned! They think going to his office means endless TV, which they watched a lot of Netflix while Andrew and I got his office put together! We spent many longs night at his office getting ready to open and the kids did so good just going with the flow for a few weeks!

Snow

We got so much snow this last winter. I was so tired of getting snow clothes on for the kids to play in. They started getting it on themselves! They loved playing out in it. I hope this winter I can play more out in it since I won't be pregnant.

Random

Phone Pictures from November to February!

These two are related and I kept this picture to show how neither of them know how to keep their eyes open for the camera!
Ella had to disguise a turkey it wouldn't be eaten for Thanksgiving dinner and she chose to make it a mermaid! It was hilarious! 
I told Easton one afternoon he couldn't ask me to watch something or for something to eat for an hour, which is hard for him! I told him to go take a rest or do something in his room and 20 minutes later I found him passed out on the floor in his doorway!
I was trying to soak in all the snuggles I could with her while she is still the baby! She fell asleep in the car and I carried her in and she went back to sleep on me!
I found a wreath to hang over my pantry door for Christmas and was so excited, it took me a couple years to find the one I wanted!
Sometimes they do get along!

Ella went to a birthday party and they had a face painter come! They did the prettiest design on her face! Am I the only one that feels like birthday parties have gotten way out of hand?!? She has two or three a month and they all try to out do each other!
Even when they are 7 they are still just so sweet when they sleep!
This is her "I have you wrapped around my little finger" face! 
I was driving home from getting Easton one day and it went from sunny to hailing in a matter of seconds! It was some strong hail and it covered the road in less than a minute! 

We hit 100,000 miles in our Yukon on New Years Day! We have put almost 70,000 miles on it in just 2 1/2 years! Hopefully it lasts a few more! 
Andrew had some equipment delivered to our house for his office. I am not sure how the driver got his semi into our circle but he did! It had to be signed for so he shipped it to me! The guy asked if I wanted it in my garage and I told him no, he had no idea how much we had just paid for that so it wasn't going in the garage! He told me he couldn't come in my house due to liability issues but then looked at his paper and noticed it was over 90 pounds and then looked a me (me being all pregnant) and said if I wouldn't tell he would place it inside my door! I was so grateful he would just do that!
Ella's teacher has the kids write thank you notes and notes of appreciation and so on if they finish their work early! I often find these gems in her bag and they make me smile! This one was from her friend Kinzie and so I had to snap a pic and send it to her mom! They are always writing the nicest things to each other!
These to just randomly sitting in the road one afternoon just chatting to each other.
Addie is obsessed with this thing! And the way she says Giraffe is so cute!
Sunsets around here are breathtaking some days! They are talking about building on the farm land behind us and I just don't want them too!


Supermoon!
Andrew's niece Andrea came home from her mission the first week of December. He took the kids to the airport. I had young women's and wasn't able to go. 
I got a call from Andrew one morning and he had a blow out on the freeway. Luckily he was able to pull off and get it changed. He later showed me where he changed it at and I am just glad I didn't know!! He hardly drives his truck and had gone to pick up some furniture for his office and the weight just didn't do the tire any good. The tires were starting to crumble up a bit since it sits a lot and isn't driven so that is what led to it blowing! I am just so glad he was ok!
Easton loves his dad! He loves to have his dad pick him up from school! When Andrew can he will try to pick him up, which is usually Thursdays. This day he picked him up and took him to lunch! Easton was in heaven. When he does this special stuff with his dad it is all he talks about for days! Also he wears these fake no lense glasses to school all the time he loves them!
Home Depot shopping for bathroom fixtures for the office! 
This won't rotate! Addie loves this picture!

Valentine's Day

Our Valentine's was pretty low key this year! Andrew and I went out a little bit before and then did massages a couple weeks after. On Valentine's Day we went to Andrew's office and Heart Attacked his car. He was pretty surprised! The kids had a lot of fun doing it! That night we had heart shaped pizza by candlelight! The kids thought it was so fun!

Addie

This past school year I have had a lot of one on one time with Addie. It has been so much fun and I have loved every minute of it! She became my shopping buddy! She also loves to go with me when I get a pedicure or gel nails! The ladies at the salon always dote on her and paint her nails for free for me! I will always cherish this last year we had just me and her!
She won't take naps but she still will find ways to fall asleep a lot of days! This was in January when I knew her days as my baby were numbered! I let her snuggle with me for an hour!


She certainly has developed her own little personality and she is one tough cookie! It is a lot of times her way or the highway! She loves dresses and one cold winter day refused to wear anything else!
She also loves to destroy clean spaces! Look at the room behind her! She has been known to get into everything that is Ella's while she is gone and make huge messes!
We may or may not have shared a few mornings at Kneaders eating unlimited French Toast together!
She still makes the biggest messes on her face when she eats!


She lives for two things: Her birdie blankie as she calls it and her giraffe in the next picture! She won't sleep without either of them! I just love this girl to pieces!

Andrew's Office

Andrew's office is finally done and open! It took way longer than it should have! We are just happy it is open! It has been such a dream come true for him!
He got a shipment of glasses in on election day so while we watched the coverage he went through them and organized them!

His chair and lamp were installed the first week of December and I was the lucky one who got to go and sign for it and watch the guy install it!
We loved how it turned out but it was frustrating to go in and nothing had been done for a week or more! 



One delay we had was the flooring guy came to install the floor and it wasn't level! The landlord had to fix it since they had hired someone to do it and it was done wrong! The floor still isn't all that great and it probably would have been the same just to leave it!


Slowly coming together! We finally told the contractor that we were opening on January 26th and it had to be done. It was supposed to be done around Halloween and so we were getting really annoyed. It forced them to get it done, who knows we may still be waiting around if we hadn't of pushed it!
All the glasses set up! It took forever to get them all situated and priced and all that jazz!
