Play Date w/ Ally

Ally and Kim came over this afternoon for a lunch play date. The girls enjoying coloring, playing stickies, and just having a good old time in the loft with the millions of toys. While the girls played, Kim & I had our own fun playing around with the Cricut! I have got to get one! That is definitely going on my list for Santa this year :-)




We are so glad that Kim & Ally were able to come out today to visit us! School is starting soon, along with my new work schedule (more to come on that soon) so it will be harder to get together :-(, Thank you so much Kim & Ally for a great time today!

Beach & Tractor Fun

Is the weekend really over? It feels like it just started!!!

Saturday morning we headed down to Venice Beach to meet my Dad there for some fun! The girls are total beach babes. They both just love the sand and water. I think Camryn ate about 10 handfuls, so gross! We spent a few hours there. Luckily we headed out before the rain storm came through.


Happy 10 Months Camryn Brooke!

After we got home from the beach, Payten went riding on Pop Pop's tractor. She doesn't look to thrilled in these pictures but she actually did have fun :-)


The girls enjoyed visiting with Mema & Poppy and hope to see them soon!

Yesterday I enjoyed a KID FREE afternoon with one of my good friends, Dana. We got to enjoy a yummy lunch at First Watch, then ran to a few stores to gather some ideas for Camryn's 1st birthday. I can't believe she will be 1 in two months. Where has the past year gone??

Hoping this week flies by! I am looking forward to spending the weekend home and relaxing! Happy Monday!

Vacation Bible School

The Ellison kids attended Vacation Bible School this week and invited Payten on Thursday and Friday evening. Thursday night she went with Tammy and the kids, then on Friday evening I was able to join them. That had lots of activities going on. Crafts, games, singing, dancing, snacks. . . Of course Payten's favorite was the dancing. Thank you Ellison family for inviting us!

Can you say DIASTER zone?

Last week I decided that its time to go threw all the totes of the girls clothes. I easily have 6 just full, like busting at the seams full! The sizes are all mixed up and it has been making me nuts. Because of the disorganization Camryn has missed out on wearing a few things that were Payten's.

Of course trying to tackle this task while having both girls with me wasn't the smartest idea, but I just had to get it down. After FOUR hours of working on this its finally done!!! I totally meant to take an after picture but I forgot. Even after organizing, consigning and good willing some clothes we still have 6 totes FULL! Not sure how that is but in a few months I'll be going through ALL the too small clothes and consigning most of it!

Can you find Camryn in this mess?

Piles and piles...

And even more piles....

Our visit to see Minnie House

Yes that is right my title says Minnie House. That is what Payten calls Minnie Mouse. It's too cute!

I will apologize ahead of time for all the pictures. But I had such a hard time choosing a few. Saturday our wonderful friends Doug & Dana got us into Disney for FREE! Despite the blazing heat we had a blast!

We started our day at Animal Kingdom. It was Sean, Payten, and Camryn's first time. Payten absolutely loved the safari ride. She thought all the animals were so cool. After a few hours at Animal Kingdom we headed over to Magic Kingdom (my favorite). It is just soo much fun. So many cool rides, I just love it! We are hoping to get back here in the fall so we can enjoy ALL of Magic Kingdom. For now, here are just a few of my million and one pictures :-)

The start of our day...

Horrible picture... but this is Doug & Dana
