A little Sunday evening family mario kart...

12 amazing years

Happy 12th anniversary to us! We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at the North Harbor Club overlooking the lake. It was lovely. We feel so blessed and could not be happier!

It's good to be home

We slept in until almost 10 this morning. I don't know if that has ever happened before! We ate all of our meals 2+ hours late and didn't make it out of our pjs or comb our hair but man it is good to be back home. Since the kids drawers were already half empty and I had to unpack, I decided to go through all of their clothes and put away everything that doesn't fit. Man it is so much work to manage their wardrobes! Here is a pile of just the babies and Spencers clothes that need to be sorted into save, donate, give away or send to my sisters. The girls pile is even bigger!
A cute twin moment. I turned around and found them with their blankets on playing with magna doodles. These two really love each other! (and I was serious about the PJs and not combing hair : )

Goodbye until next time

Abbie saying goodbye to Grandma Woolley before we left for the airport. Our flight home was delayed 3+ hours due to weather so we spent a lot of quality time in the airport's small play area. The kids did remarkably well for being exhausted and we arrived safe and sound around midnight. It is always good to sleep in your own bed again!

Last play day of vacation

We played so much and had so much fun on this vacation! Today the kids helped Grandpa wash Jaron and Ashton's car - there were cookies all over the lawn! The kids went swimming at the aquatic center while the babies and I napped - it was perfect for all of us. A great way to end a wonderful vacation!

Pre-wedding day activities

We spent the day getting ready for the wedding dinner. It was so fun. Totally casual and relaxed - delicious bbq ribs, smoked chicken and beef brisket with all of the sides you can imagine. It was great! The kids spent the day playing together in the backyard swimming.
