apple picking
When I told Emma this morning that we were going apple picking she insisted on wearing her “apple picking dress”. She had so much fun, but we had to cut her off. We came home with 12 lbs of apples. Braden already requested apple cookies, so that’s the plan

Olivia gets SO excited when it’s time for a bath.
parents night out
Last night was parents night out at the church. I signed both girls up a month ago, and then Braden ended up going out of town last minute. What’s a mommy to do with 2 hours free time?
gymnastics
I signed Emma up for gymnastics over a month ago. I’ve been counting down the days until it started because I knew she would love it… and she did. After class the teacher asked me if she’s taken gymnastics before. She couldn’t believe it when I told

It’s that time of year again! Emma had a blast today. Her favorite thing was the airplane ride. The car ride was a close second. She always wants a butterfly to land on her at the zoo. It never happens. Today $6 bought her so much happiness. Olivia got
family photos
Olivia’s 6 month photos turned out to be almost 8 month photos since we had to reschedule several times. All that waiting and we were sure we didn’t get any good photos. Emma was shy, and Olivia wasn’t feeling it. It was a nice surprise when I
