Our weekend.


This weekend was awesome.

Michael was off of work and so for once we got have a true weekend together.


Friday I scooped up my biggest boy from school and we went and had baby doughnuts together. Normally we go through the drive thru but on this day he asked to go and eat them inside and so we did.

That boy is just so sweet and melts my heart. I love him so hard and he just lights up my world. We had the sweetest conversation about his day at school and how he wondered what his babies did at home all day with Mema. Then he told me I was beautiful and asked me to be his forever doughnut date, which of course I said yes too.



We got home ate dinner and did power hour. It was nice to be able to stay up and spend some time with Michael after all the kiddos went to bed instead of him having to go to bed too.



Saturday I let Michael sleep in a little bit. Sissy woke up first and her and I snuggled and then big brother woke up and the playing started. Next followed Marshy and breakfast started. Michael came down around 7:15 and we started in on our own breakfast and coffee.


Michael and I had plans to go to a shooting class that day and so we started getting ready for that while the babies were down for their morning nap. My Mom came and watched the kids while we went to our class. Which by the way was awesome. I have to admitt I was a little nervous when we first got there because it was a small class (only 4 of us) and it was all men. I was the only female with 3 other guys. But I held my own and was pretty proud of myself. We shot about 150 rounds each and got through a ton of drills. The class was about 2 hours and once we were done there we headed to BJ's to get some things we needed that are just better to buy in bulk. We grabbed dinner after that and made him just in time to do power hour. Which was like disaster hour because the 3 year old had a melt down over chocolate and how he would eat it.


Sunday Michael let me sleep in which again was only until about 7:15 and then we got ready for our day. Both grabbing showers and getting Grayson ready because we had big plans. My mom came over around 10 (because she is a rock star and we would be lost with out her) and we headed out on an adventure with just our biggest boy.

We took Grayson to build a bear and it was so fun. He got gift cards for a Christmas present and it was our first time there. He chose a Kylo Ren bear because it always about Star wars. It was a really fun time he got to stuff his bear and put the heart in and then we got to go pick out his light saber.



Now let me say this. If we did not have a gift card I don't know if we would have went. It's mad expensive but I'm so glad he got experience it! He had a blast. We left there and headed to Target to get some jeans for Michael and to take full advantage of the baby sale. Which we did and it was awesome we are stocked up on diapers and formula for at least 2-3 weeks.


We came home snuggled and had a relaxing rest of the weekend!


Happy Monday!

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Update...

Things have been…..how do I say this different lately. We have been struggling to find our footing for months now. It feels like the hits just keep on coming. On February 10 th my parents were in a very serious (awful, horrible, scary) car accident. My father suffered a stroke (we found this out later) while driving the car. My mother was the passenger and they hit a telephone pole and then flipped (it’s an estimate because no one saw the accident happen) 6-8 times and landed on the drivers side of the car 100 feet off the road. I was still at work when I got a call from an unknown number and for only reasons that God knows I answered it and it was a young girl who had pulled up on the accident and had gotten my mom out of the car and was there with them while they waited for Mercy Flight for my dad as he was unresponsive. It was gut wrenching and horrible and I felt paralyzed. My mother was taken by ambulance to the same hospital they were Mercy Flighting my father to. We got...
