for your pleasure...

Another date night with Ashley and Derrick. This time around we ate @ Paul's favorite, Honolulu Grill, then ice cream, then Anti-gravity.
Couldn't choose between the cheesiness, so here are all our sweet poses.
Paul and Derrick took turns puffing out their chests. It was constant big man competition between them.


Then came more awesome poses.



Onto Anti-gravity. (An indoor game, bounce house, trampoline warehouse.)




Another great night spent with mostly 12-14 year olds.

Shots @ Random

Aunt Ashley took these girls to soccer practice...

While I stayed with these babes at home. Adyn is getting soooo chunky. We love him.

Wii time

I lost.

Laser Mania

We took a break from our usual routine and had a mid-week date with Ashley and Derrick. We wanted to do something fun so we headed over to do some lasertag. I LOVE lasertag. Nothing better than running around like a 13 year old again. In between lasertag games we hit the arcade where we brought in 1600 tickets! Wahoo. (Got a lot of dollar store junk with those tickets.) Fun, none the less.

Paul and I in the arcade. (I think Paul looks so handsome here, how'd I get so lucky.)

(Disclaimer: I'm NOT pregnant. I'm looking a bit like 5 months in this pic however. Hate posting unflattering pictures of myself, but LOVED the group shot.)

Uncle Derrick's Homecoming

Paul's sister Ashley has been staying with us since the end of August while her husband Derrick has been deployed to Afganistan for the past 6 months. And while he has 6 months left, he has a 2 week R&R here with us.

The girls holding up the sign we worked so hard on.


The moment where time slowed down just a little bit. It was so tender.


One happy family....well maybe not for Taylee.

Pouring Rain

It's not too common we have rain in these parts, however, when it rains-it pours and my kids love it. Usually we go play in it. While everyone else went outside in their clothes, my danty little Lily was the cutest in our only rain coat.

Not sure what to think about it just yet.


But then, decided she liked it.
