Boy,Voo Doo & Orthodontics

Lately I find my camera with pictures of someones
selfie. Man, it makes me pretty happy.
Age 7 reminds me that I am excited for them to turn 8.
~ Love my Tater.

I took a girls weekend to Portland with a couple of my friends for
Time Out For Women (fill my spiritual cup). I ended up feeding my
body more than my spirit I'm afraid.
The best part about Portland was the Voo Doo Donuts and if
someone tells you their not that great...they are full on lying.
I would consider being overweight the rest of my life for them.
Jessica Farrow, Leone Nielson, Stacie Gould
AMAZING,Venezuelan restaurant. 

Our boyfriends took care of the bandits...they even took on
Red Robin. Just for the record, I would NEVER in a million years do this.
Thanks nice Dads.




This happened. My rockstar got a rainbow retainer.
I love when she talks. "Sufferin Succotash"!!!

Wild hair day. And boy, was it wild.

Oh Bella Baby got new polka dots!

Halloween 2014

WAAAA HAAAA!
Halloween 2014. I love it. All of it. But my very favorite
was Trent dressing up as Mr. Clean. I kind of feel like he has arrived, embracing every part
of his true self. It will never
get better than this....
 Am I right? or am I RIGHT!!!
Thanks for making me the happiest viking ever.




Our neighborhood pre-trick or treat kick off!


Mark McBride & Mr. Clean

Mellissa (my cute trainer)  & Finny





Miss Piggy greeted the kids off of the bus

Trunk or Treat
Bishop Rigby wins the award



Of course we had to get a picture
of this cute pair (LOVE Katie Owens).

I might have taken being a viking over board....
but it felt SOOO RIGHT.


Give this kid a sucker and you are set for life.


Thank you Tate for making us laugh.

Emmy and her "bird" dog!



I had to take one last wig picture...I go into
a Halloween depression sometimes.

Momma Lama and Some Other Great Stuff

This kind of covers September and October life around here.
My Momma came for a visit. I think we know how to have fun when we 
are together.
We went to visit my good buddy, Kelly Morgan on Bainbridge Island.
Kelly, is one of those people that I am so glad I found.
I absolutely adore her and love that she loves my kiddies.

Ferry ride...My Mom is pretty.


Kelly took us to her favorite market...Finley girl liked the
chicken as much as her Momma.

Kelly and who we like to call "the girl Tate". Showed us around
took us to explore a beach and go for ice cream.

13.5 months




Jelly fish


 Our girls love collecting bugs!

I snuck this in here because I wanted Emmy to know how
much I love having her home half the day with me.
She really is so entertaining, I almost shed a tear
when she turns around and gives me her perfect little wave
and then bounces on up the school bus steps.
She ALWAYS heads to the very back of the bus to sit
by herself  like she owns the place....I love that about her.


Women's Conference with this pretty little thing.
I love having a daughter old enough to go with me.

Look at our BABY!




Finley, just for the record: You ate that spice muffin
in one bite...it was amazing.



Trent traveled like a crazy man this Fall...let's just say we may have
spent a fair amount of time at the Party Store.
It's a very happy place for me.
I love my ROCKERS.


I am kind of offended that when I posted this on FB
people actually thought I got a new hair cut?!
Seriously... rude people.
Sydney has hit the ripe age of SOCIALIZING!!! I am not sure how to feel about
all these Friday night hang outs....but I sure love it when we get a turn with the
girls. 

Brook Fuller and Syd...matchy, matchy.

Emmy's art work made me smile. All about the essentials-
Fairies, sunshine and some cash flow.

Washington wins the pretty award.

Carving pumpkins with the kiddies. Sydney forgive me but I must share!
She wanted a raccoon pumpkin. Daddy Doo didn't do the mouth "exactly"
how she envisioned and man oh man....tears were shed. Thank goodness
your Mom has some skills (or not). She wasn't that impressed with my workmanship either.
I love you little pumpkin heads.
