My Mama...

I just wanted to say that I have the most incredible Mother in the entire world. When ever I am falling apart, feel incredibly small, lost or alone- she is the one I run to knowing that after 1 phone conversation, I will feel instantly better. Somehow she knows just what to say, helps me see my self worth and loves me all over again. I can feel her beautiful arms reach out and hold me even though we are hundreds of miles apart. She is magic like that, and I am forever grateful we are best friends. I love her, adore her and would be completely lost without her in my life. Thank you Mama for picking me up and making it better again. (Now just hurry up and get here- I miss you terribly!)

Bath time, nap time & Halloween cookies...






I'm trying to remember to take pictures through out the day, so here are a few more. The girls have wanted to bake lately, so here they are making Halloween cookies. And today we had to wake Grace up from her nap, so I layed Willow next to her (she was crying)and that did the trick. Normally, if you wake any of the kids up before they are ready, they are SUPER grumpy/moody/no fun- but Grace woke up and started giving her kisses right away and was in a great mood, it was pretty cute. And then here is Willow's 2nd real bath.

Daisy & Willow


All I can say is Daisy is in love with her baby sister. She wants to hold her ALL the time, which is really adorable- so I had to grab a picture of the blissful event.

Back to real life...

Sadly, the terrible sound of our alarm clock woke us up at 4:45 AM this morning, which could only mean one thing- Travis had to return to work:(
First of all, having him home for 2 weeks was Heaven, we had so much family time together and it was great. Some days we just lounged around in our Pj's watching movies and other days we ran a thousand errands before Tristin came home from school. I was able to take a few baths by MYSELF while Trav watched the girls and I even got pretty spoiled running errands with just the baby. I'm sure Willow will go into withdraws without her Papa here to snuggle with her every 5 minutes, but hopefully, she and the rest of us will survive getting back to real life.We love you Daddy!

Fun at the park...




We took the girl's to the park the other day even though it was pretty cold. They had a great time anyway- running all over, playing and having fun. I thought they looked so cute!

Pictures of Willow...






Here's just a few pictures of Willow from the past few days.

Tristin & Daddy go roller skating...


On Saturday Trav and Tristin had their "date" together (but don't call it that in front of Tristin- those are just for Mom's & Dad's). They decided to go roller skating, the last time we went was back in Jan when Uncle Eli & Aunt Cindy came to visit. They had a great time together which wasn't a surprise. Trav had taken the girl's to the movie theatre a few days earlier for their date, so everyone had special time with their Papa.
