Family Pictures!

My mother in law is leaving for 3 weeks to visit her family in Brazil...she wanted some family pictures, so we got pretty, and got together for some photo's. I think they turned out great!

My sister...My hero!!

My sister is my HERO!! Last year, after having a baby (in August), Kara decided to cross 'running a marathon' off her bucket list. She trained hard...and she did it. She is amazing! She is 7 years younger than me, however teaches me things every day, and is a wonderful example to me. She will always be my baby sister...but I am also so blessed to call her my best friend!! You can read her journey HERE!

The awesome fans...

She rounded the corner...and we went nuts, I think we were the loudest, craziest, and  funnest people at Gateway that day! I've never been so proud!!

We love you Kara!!!

Birthday Celebrations...

Because Miss Ellie's birthday was on Sunday this year...we partied it up good the Friday before. She got all fancied up. And we took some birthday pictures... 

Then we headed to Chick-fil-A for some breakfast (this was WAY better than school lunch), and the girls were just a little bit tardy to school!

After school we were off to the ice skating rink. Good times watching the kids cling to the wall...then get brave, and take off.

We did make a stop at Golden Spoon on the way home. Ellie didn't want a cake, just some frozen yogurt...I was happy to oblige. Then we came home and the kids wanted to stay outside to open presents. So they sat in the driveway...whatever works.

A fun day, a fun party, and a fun Ellie!

Off Track Good Times!!

I swear I just barely blogged about being off track...but here we are again, with 3 more weeks of fun. We made the most of it by...

A weekend getaway to Midway with the Anderson's. Yes, just 1 picture.

My Valentine's Day present...don't think Caiser is un-romantic, I have wanted a flag forever, and I got 'other' presents too, he's very romantic!

We took some naps...and dad put jelly beans in our noses.

Had a few breakfast's/lunch's at our favorite spot...Chick-fil-A

Did some yard work.

I enjoyed some birthday dinners/lunches with the ladies.

I took the kids to Trafalga, where they played laser tag for 2 hours.

And of course the 'hot spot' while off track...Classic!!

Had a sleepover at Grandma's with our cousins.

And last...Kindergarten Orientation. Yes, my baby boy, off to kindergarten next year...I cannot believe it!

It's been an eventful couple of months...I love being with my kids, they drive me crazy and make me laugh at the same time!
