New Eyes...

Apparently my oldest 2 girls have inherited my vision, or lack thereof..both needed glasses this year. Leah is near-sighted & Macey is far-sighted...how is that for being different? I think they look absolutely adorable in them!!!
Mac was concerned when we were picking our frames....the claimed they had "too much bling" on them... :)

Avery's first soccer game!!!

So we "finally" got to play Avery's first soccer game....she is so excited!





She was all over that field. She even almost had a goal..she was sooo close!






She hustled the whole time & literally ran circles around everyone....she not so much for the tight grouping when a soccer ball is in play....she always ran way around the crowd of players...:)

Macey's new number.....

As crazy & hectic as life is here....we have found several occasions where an extra phone would come in handy. After chatting all summer about this, our oldest now has a cell phone.



Beware! This phone is on our family plan & she has unlimited texting!!! Lol!!!

Painting bug....

So I recently visited my friend, Taryn who does crazy timing of painting. One of the first times we did anything together, it was painting her living room. The story goes something like this:
She was hosting bunko & the night before, she calls me at 6pm & wants to know if I wanted to come help. I said sure & I would be over about 7pm. Needless to say, we were up late (3ish?) & were able to finish with the help of her niece, Robyn. I knew then that we were gonna become great friends....



Sooo, we are having a couple of fmilies over for fajatas & poppers. We purchase the paint at 3pm, people are due to arrive at 5pm....yep, I got one coat on before dinner.



I finished up with the second coat on Sunday night.
My beautiful red pantry door...
