Zoo Lights!!

We had a fun night out with friends at the Zoo Lights. It was full of LOTS of people and LOTS of lights.

 

Christmas Day with Nana

 

Look alike doll with matching dresses.

 

Hannah literally wouldn't leave our sides. Wanted to be right in the middle of all the action.

 

Girls playing with their new toys.

Mom and Charlie.

Paul or "big money" gave the girls each 100.00 for Christmas!

Reese loves her baby monkey.

Love this shot of Saige and Aaron.

We had more food than we can handle! And lots of gifts and laughs.

 

Christmas Morning.

When we got home from my dads house Saige wanted to sleep with Reese because she was afraid if she was up going to the bathroom Santa would tell her to go back to bed. (hehe) Reese was a trooper and allowed her to sleep in her bed, which she doesn't always go for. I regret not getting a picture of them.

Santa came and pretty early we heard "he came, he came" and everyone ran into the room to see what treasures Santa brought. The girls got new chairs for their rooms (we're redoing them this summer so Santa really helped us out), American girl matching outfits, and purses, lip gloss, bracelets, hand sanitizer, Reese got a karaoke machine and a few cd's. Saige got an American Girl salon set.

From us they got some clothes, and (Reese) a pony set that brought great joy to her and (Saige) got a school set. She didn't know what it was at first but quickly fell in love with it. (Score!!)

I got a new camera and Aaron got a new iphone.

Christmas Fun!

Christmas Eve at my dads house...

We always love going to my dads on Christmas eve.  We eat lots of food, open gifts, and enjoy each others company. Donna always gets my girls pj's that they quickly change into for the remainder of the evening. They always fall asleep on the way so it's perfect.

This past year

Summer...
We went to the ballet to see Peter Pan. One of Aarons employees got us tickets. The girls were so excited. We sat in very fancy seats in the little box on the sides. Saige lost interest and the ability to sit down so we ended up in the cookie room where my wiggle worm could be free. Very memorable and fun though.

We swam a lot this summer too. Girls played and played. I'm so glad they have each other.

We went with several other families to Yogi Bear Camp grounds. I say camping but we were in an air conditioned building with real beds, running water and an oven. :) It was a ton of fun though. We did crafts, went swimming, ate smores and stayed up late.



WOW! Where has the time gone. I don't even know. We have two big girls who keep us so busy. I love having this blog but trying to keep up has become difficult this year. I don't even know where to begin.

I started teaching again this year. I loved teaching before children and always thought I would go back. It happened so fast and I was so blessed to find a job near my house. I went ahead and took it. In true heather form, I decided to move the girls with me at the last minute. So we all started a new adventure in August and went to a new school. Saige started kindergarten and Reese started first grade and I was teaching first grade.

 

It's been fun being able to give them hugs, quick waves in the hall, kisses at lunch and knowing they are near.

 

The girls also started cheerleading in our little area but with their friends at their "home" campus. We were the Warner Vikings and couldn't of asked for a better experience. They loved it. Our team went all the way to the Super Bowl and the girls got a big trophy at the end. We had a cheer team party and met lots of fun friends.

 

 

My sister also got married this fall. We had showers, parties and the wedding. It was beautiful and we love Paul. Reese and Saige were THE cutest flower girls on earth, but every mom says that :)

 

 

Here are a few just fall favorites. We had Halloween, went to the Oil Ranch (again-love that place) as a family. Life has been BUSY!
