Happy Doggo

You know a dog is happy when she wags her tail in her sleep. I have never seen that happen until Pria came along!


We're counting down the days until school is over, and reveling in the warmer weather. G had a fun week with inflatables, and next week is all about yearbook signing and a pizza party! Ava, however, has finals on the last two days of school, so she doesn't get to celebrate quite yet. But soon!

Ava opted for just two baked potatoes for dinner...not a bad idea!


Checking out our pool on opening weekend
(Yes, it got much busier as the day went on, but we went early to avoid the crowds)



These cute little kiddos are fixed outside of our library, and G thought it would be nice to share his book with them.


We're winding down for the school year (mostly.) G had a fun week with inflatables, and next week is all about yearbook signing and a pizza party! Ava, however, has finals on the last two days of school, so she doesn't get to celebrate quite yet. But soon!

Super proud of Ava earning an Honor Letter in Band!


We have a relatively quiet weekend coming up, which is a good thing. We're trying to track down a company who can take care of a birds nest in our dryer vent line...our builder placed the dryer vent so high on the exterior wall that most companies don't have ladders high enough to reach it! Thankfully, Scott came up with a short-term solution, which allows me to at least use the dryer, without threat of burning the house down. Grateful for his creative mind!

Snuggly Warm

It's the time of year to be cozy, so there's nothing better than sitting in front of a warm fire, reading a good book/watching a good show, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree. Even Pria thinks so! Pria was avoiding the vacuum earlier this week...she loves to be on Ava's bed! Getting cozy inside of a little fortress After a fairly busy week at school, work, and extracurricular activities, we all enjoyed a night at home on Friday. G and I built gingerbread houses (they both look a little sad, but we had fun), and then we all played Tractoropoly for a few hours. Turns out that G was stockpiling money, so we need to figure out his secret on how to save! Love Ava's face and hand placement here And we can't forget all of the treats that George brought this week! Sunday, December 10 "Can you get a bullseye?" Monday, December 11 "I'm brining Christmas Cheer, by singing loud for everyone to hear!" Tuesday, December 12 "Don't be the o

Barbie & George

We had a fun week to wrap up November. Last Saturday, Scott and I enjoyed a nice dinner out, and then a spontaneous trip to Home Depot...and we got some new exterior Christmas décor! But more important was the time spent together. Plus, it started to snow, so the view from the restaurant was beautiful (but the drive home was a little sketchy.) On Tuesday night, Ava and I headed out to the Mall of America to experience the Malibu Barbie Café. We had a blast exploring the area, eating the yummy food, and then shopping for a bit. It was a wonderful night evening spent together. Even the drinks were pretty! My Avocado Toast & salad Ava's Paradise Pancakes On Friday night, my book club gathered for our holiday party and it was a blast! We had such a good time chatting, eating, drinking, and finished off the night with a book exchange. I cherish and deeply appreciate the friendships that have developed with my neighbors because of this book club. And to really kick off the holiday se

26 Hours in a Day

Just yesterday morning, I was thinking to myself that I could really use a few more hours each day.  We don't sleep a whole lot, both work long hours at our jobs, try to play with Ava as much as we can at night and on the weekends, and then we have to do all of the adult-stuff...paying bills, grocery shopping, cleaning, work on side jobs, house projects, etc.  If there were only 26 hours in a day, we could: *Sleep just an extra 30 minutes - we need it since the dogs have been waking us up each weekend day at 5:30am.  What could be SO urgent that they need to get us up then?!?  You'd think we only feed them once a week, or something. *Spend an extra hour with Ava...we could go to the park every night, take an extra long bath, read a few extra stories, and just enjoy the giggles and chattiness. *Take 30 minutes to talk to each other about how things are going.  With Scott leaving for work each day before 5am, and then all of the craziness that ensues when I get home at nigh
