The Best Kids!









Well I have to brag and admit, really for no reason at all, that I have the two best kiddos in the world! I've decided to capture here a few moments in our life at home getting ready for bed. Usually with Mike's crazy schedule and both of us working full time and trying to jugle all the crazy demands in life our night-time routine isn't always as routine as we would like but we try real hard.
So here's a shot:

5:30 pm arrive at Children's Courtyard to pick the kiddos up

6:00 pm getting home and frantickly searching for something in the house to eat...on a last minutes notice it's usually Mikayla's favorite (burritos) or Dawson's favorite (soup or cereal)

6:30 pm either go out for a quick walk or ride around the neighborhood on the scooters and bikes or go out for a nice jump on the trampoline

7:00 pm time for baths!!!

7:30 pm oh it's still bathtime and playing

7:45 pm we're making our way out of the baths and into the bedroom for a little more fun

8:00 - 9:00 pm and sometimes later it's lights out and off to bed







Now of course I try to have this down to a well oiled machine but it doesn't always work out the best. The kids are always having so much fun and laughing and screaming and going crazy. I am so greatful to have them in my life! Things would be way to quiet and boring without them. Thanks kiddos for bringing me so much joy in life. I love you!!!

Daddy Daughter Dance

Well I know I am so dang far behind with writing so I'm going to try to get caught up on a few things. From training for the Cowtown half at the end of February to whatever else was going on in my life I am just now writing about the Daddy Daughter Dance that Mikayla had with Daddy (aka Mike).
Mikayla was so cute all dressed up to go to the Valentine's event at Keller Pointe with her favorite date, Dad and her favorite cousin, Landrie and her dad. The girls were so cute and of course the Daddy's spoiled them with everything from glitter bags to dance after dance with Hanna Montana music playing in the background. Andrea, Branden, Dawson and I even snuck in for a peek from atop the dance floor. Hush hush Branden and Dawson.

All in all the event was great and the girls had a blast! Mikayla says she can't wait for next year Daddy!
