A moment captured, a memory made.

Belly Flopping Fun

We decided to head out to the Jelly Belly Factory in Vacaville, it was a last minute plan, but so worth it. The kids had a blast, and they had both grandma's with them. What a treat!

We tour the factory, and stopped in the gift shop for a few treats. Nanners picked out a special coffee cup for PawPaw since he wasn't able to come with us. Baby Big Girl lived up to her name, and insisted on buying scented colored pencils for "her school work". It was too cute to pass up, she just HAD to have them.

Catching Up

Whew! I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted anything. Life is crazy busy for us around this place. Between our 50 and 60 hour work weeks, church obligations, kids, and general household stuff that we can't put off any longer (seriously, there's only so many times you can run out and buy socks before you just have to break down and do the laundry) we don't seem to have time to do anything anymore.

Life is insanely busy, and there's not a visible light at the end of the tunnel. Trust me, I keep looking! I know that some day I'll look back on this time in life with a little tug at my heart strings wishing for even just a moment to have these days back. Right now all I can think is how much they tear me down. I'm surrounded by a great bunch of people, but you know there's no one that can fill mommy's shoes quite like she does.

We've done so much over the past few months, I must have a million pictures to upload. Thank goodness for cell phones, my poor (expensive) camera sits on the desk most days doing nothing. I need to go get some new pictures of the girls for the walls. Wait, first I need to get the ones that are on the table in the garage up on the wall.

Only a few more weeks of school, we're in the home stretch. That will free up quite a bit of time...hopefully! Oh summer I can't wait for you! Until your arrival I will smile, and continue trudging through the crazy jungle of appointments, work schedules, swim lessons, youth group and whatever else I can get my hands on.
