One Fun Week!


Stella has been off track for the past 2 weeks and we have had a very busy and fun week together as a family. We are total movie fanatics(as you'll see by the end of this post)! Last week we took the kids to see Gnomeo and Juliet. Then this week we took them to the Jump 'n Bounce house as a their reward for getting a whole punch card complete. They had so much fun! We seriously need a few of these to release some of Tristan's energy.

Valentines Day was pretty relaxed. We woke up to love notes on the mirror from Bill. Stella thought that was pretty cool. Then we spent some time with our play group friends, which is always enjoyable! Then we came home and made pink heart-shaped waffles for dinner. Followed by some V-Day Bingo.





Then last night Bill took Tristan to the Monster Truck show along with Bart, Kaden & Tyler. Bill said Tristan was so excited he didn't want to eat anything when they were waiting for the show to start and said he couldn't wait when he heard the trucks revving their engines. I love his passion for everything! Bill took him to the store afterwards to let him pick out a new monster truck.



While the boys were out doing their thing, Stella got to choose what she wanted to do. She decided to see Never Say Never - yes, the Justin Bieber movie. I'm not gonna lie, I did enjoy it more than I thought I would! Mostly because Stella was so into it the whole time and I enjoy seeing her that happy and excited about stuff! Plus just learning about other peoples lives fascinate me. I love our girls-night-outs!


Today Tristan had his first ever soccer practice/game. It was just a practice today, but they had a little game with the other team that was there practicing. Tristan totally rocked if I do say so myself! Once he learned you couldn't touch the ball he tried really hard to be aggressive without touching the ball. He even got a goal which he was so thrilled about! Me too! When the game was over he came up to me and said, "I was awesome Mom." I laughed and agreed. Such a fun week! I'm so proud of my kids and love seeing them grow up.

Life's Journey's

All because THESE TWO fell in love!!!

The whole shebang



My brother and his family are moving far, far away to Atlanta, GA the end of this month. I certainly wish them the best on their new journey and hope this is the change they have been wanting/needing for some time now. However, it will be very weird not having them around! We have had so many good times together. Almost every life-changing memory I can think of involves them! We have had Sunday dinner together every couple of weeks ever since they got married almost 15 years ago. We love to play games and laugh at one another. I don't know many other families that laugh as much as we do when we get together. I will certainly miss them!

This was the last weekend we will all be together as a family before they leave so we of course had to do some family pictures. Here are a few of them!
