St. Patricks Day 2012







I can't remember a St. Patricks Day where I actually went out and celebrated. This year I did just that with some of my favorite ladies;) We headed out to see Matt Nathanson at a local pub. Since I haven't ever officially celebrated this day I found it only fitting to buy party favors for the crew so we could celebrate in style. Teaf stayed home with the kiddos while we had a much needed girls night out on the town. Fun times I must say!

Flamenco fashion show





Last Monday, we had to pause for a fashion show while managing clothes. We came across their Flamenco dresses that were gifted to them from Aunt Susi. Harper is a tough one to convince to wear dresses. She is not the kind of frilly girl and when I put any dress on her she will first tell me that she doesn't want to wear a dress and then she will ask me "mommy is this a dress?" I kind of fib a little and tell her it's a long shirt. I know I know not good. I only tell her that when I have the legings on because it's kind of true?:) So it was a bit tricky to convince her to wear the Flamenco dress, but she did it. Liv doesn't really mind too much about dresses but she was not into the fashion show due to it being past her bedtime. We snapped a few photos in there cute dresses and then off to bed they went.

that grandma...



that grandma...she's pretty awesome! She called a few weeks back and asked to come visit on HER spring break to help us switch clothes for the season. She is a professional clothes organizer and is good at mastering the task;) I am so grateful for the help. We are lucky to have mostly hand me downs from her cousin Kenle but it becomes overwhelming with the amount of clothes the girls have and the different sizes and the whole growing out of sizes. I don't manage my own clothes well, so again I am ever so thankful for her help with this. We did venture out for a fun outing before the managing clothes began. We love having visits from Grandma!

It has already begun...










where we will spend our weekends enjoying life at the lake. I had this moment last weekend when we were there. I was with the girls and Ryder on top of the hill looking down onto the trailors and water. It was this moment of peace. Peace that we have this community of family and friends who actually like hanging out together so much that we have another trailor to fit everyone comfortably. We actually like to talk, play, and enjoy each others company to spend nearly every weekend together! (except during the winter months;) It is so peaceful to be at the lake and we are all blessed to have each other and the beautiful nature that surrounds us.
