10 days and counting!

Grant's first school year has come and just about gone!  He's just like me, in that he finds a reason to celebrate everything!!  I found these super cute printables for the last day of school at the cutest blog, Anythingbutperfect (ain't that the truth!) Summer printable, and our Sunday project was born!

Hopefully his friends will have as much fun snacking as he had scooping, stapling and labeling!

How has a whole year gone by already?  Man, good intentions haven't gotten me very far!  One year from my last post, our family is enjoying the hectic chaos that comes with little kids!  Every day is something new, and I look forward to being more diligent! 

First Camping Trip!

It was Tallie's first camping trip at 9 months old!  Grant's gone camping several times each year, with his first trip at 2 months old.  He's an old pro, and knows that there is nothing better than spending three days covered in dust, eating junk food that fell in the dirt and riding his bike in a million circles!

Our kids are so lucky to get to spend these awesome days with their aunts and uncles- David, Kent, Bre and Jaime, and their cousins- Anthony and Whitney!  They love our kids as much as we do, and nothing makes me happier than seeing those simple pleasures...

Rise and Shine!!

Tallie and I go in to wake up Grant every morning, and this is always how it goes... Tallie lays on Grant's pillow, reaches over and grabs and ear or nose.  The smile on Grant's face when he sees her just is the best thing in the world...  He loves her so much and she thinks the sun rises and sets on him!!

Tallie's first Easter!

And she was as cute as a button!  The crazy part is... when I consider the ridiculous cost of her dress, sweater and sandals, I should be posting pictures of how beautiful she looked all clothed!  But, alas... these could be the sweetest thing I've ever seen- just a beautiful little girl having a fun afternoon with her family!!  Love...

Though I plan to NEVER need her services...

The best doula in the world, Sarah, is offering a giveaway on her blog at Woven and Spun for Sweatybands!  They're designed for running (so sure won't need them for that!), but they're also just darned cute.  I'm thinking maybe for housecleaning... I always seem to break a sweat doing that.  Sad, I know.  Check her out!

Under the sea...

I found the cutest picture online of a no-sew mermaid tail.  Obviously, this isn't something Grant would be interested in for a million dollars, and Tallie is too little to care.  Thank goodness for Addy, a friend's daughter!  She *loves* Ariel and I just needed to get some craftiness out of my system.

Unfortunately for Grant, I still needed someone to try it on, just to be sure I was getting it right!  My poor child will probably need therapy one of these days...
