Aunt Rebecca, Initiation & Pictures!

The weather was wet, but it didn't slow down our weekend! I kicked Friday off a little earlier than usual..getting out of work @ 2:30, so I could get over to visit Aunt Rebecca. Suzette had joined her - it was great seeing both of them!
Saturday we were up bright & early to attend Dennis' initiation into Epsilon Pi Tau. It was a nice ceremony & they had a brunch setup for after. We went home, I changed Cadence & then dropped her off to play w/Skyler. It's all she talked about, so I was happy to get here there so I wouldn't have to listen to her go on & on about going :)
While she was gone, Dennis did a little yard work btwn rainfalls.
Sunday, we got up early, again & headed out to Denise's for pics of all the kids. She did a great job & was so quick. Cadence had little interest in pics, she wanted to play w/Ahrianna. Now her goal is to get Ahrianna to our house next weeked :)
Hope that you all had a great weekend as well!!
Til tomorrow...

Sweet 16

Dear Whitney,


HOLY 16 YEARS OLD!!! You are legally allowed to drive!! HOLY MOLY!! Remember when we let you drive the van in the lot next to the house. I thought I was going to have a heart attack !! I hope, a little more today than usual, that your day is absolutely perfect! I wish we were with you celebrating.  But we’re having cupcakes tonite in your honor.

Happy Sweet 16!

Love always,

Dennis, Missy, Cadence & Bryleigh

Parent's Nite...

This evening is brought us one step closer to Cadence starting her school career. Ugh... I'm excited for her, b/c she is THRILLED. I think that's awesome. I want her to look forward to school. At the same time, I'm sad b/c this is a big step toward her independence. I mean obviously, she's not heading out to get a job & look for a new place to live..at least I don't think she is...but it's a big milestone for her & for mommy!

The meeting was informative & I'm so happy that we moved into such a great school district. I have no doubt she'll receive an amazing education!

This weekend is going to be great - visiting w/Aunt Rebecca tomorrow, Dennis gets inducted into the honor society Saturday & pictures w/all the grandkids on Sunday!

until later..have a great day!

What a great week!

Being super busy at work Thursday & Friday really wore me down. But by Saturday afternoon, I was feeling pretty productive & got a lot done. Today has been productive too, suprisingly... Usually by Sunday, I don't want to do anything, but we pulled all the strips out of the wall & we're now mudding them. Over the week, we'll work on sanding them.

B is getting around like crawling is a racing game! She's pulling herself up on everything, but hasn't quite figured out how to get back down once she's up. She'll stand there for a few minutes, then start crying b/c she wants to sit down. It makes me laugh, even though, she's clearly upset :)

Cadence is getting antsy to spend a lot of time outside. We're out as much as possible. She loves it!

Aunt Vicki called today to tell me Aunt Rebecca will be in town on Friday. I'm hoping to get out of work a little early to stop in & visit for a bit.

And welcome 2010...

Sure it's 4 months into 2010 - but I finally have time to acknowlege it on my blog! Things sure have been busy on my end. Trying to organize our house, paint & do lots of family things sure has kept me busy.

Both the girls are growing like weeds - Bryleigh is crawling & pulling herself up on any stationary object she comes across. Cadence is excited about starting school in the fall.

I'm looking forward to this summer & toting 2 girls around to various festivals & family gatherings.

We've done so much already this year, I'm sure we just we'll continue this way for the whole year - that makes me happy!
