November Fun

Minnie ran away for a day.  

It was traumatic and very sad and we all worried a lot until we found her---just a street away. 

I'm very thankful for social media.  She did not have her collar on so no tags and luckily the people who found her posted a picture of her on FB and she was recognized by a friend.  

Target fun.  My kids make me smile so big.  

We love going to movies - especially at the lay down theater.

These two!!!!  

Oh my gosh I love them.  

Hayden's first Thanksgiving.  

She was the cutest little turkey. 

I have the best Grandma in the whole world.  

She always gives me the best hugs and makes me feel so loved and special. 

She is my hero and I hope to be half the woman she is.  

We put our tree up Thanksgiving weekend and Cannon was the best helper this year.  He really got into the Christmas spirit.  Kylee and Cannon did the whole tree themselves.  Usually I rearrange the decorations a little after they are done, but this year I just let it all stay.  I loved that they did it all themselves.    

I don't know what we were doing in this picture but I sure do love this little girl with all my heart.  

That face and those glasses just warm my heart so much!!!

First Day of School

I can't believe summer is over?!?!  I will admit that as a working mom, I do love the structure the school year brings to our home and it is nice to know where my kids will be all day long while I'm at work, but I sure miss my kids when they aren't home.  I can't believe how quickly the summer flew by and I can't believe how grown up my kids are getting.  

Kylee is starting 3rd grade and Cannon is starting 2nd. 

I honestly can't say enough how much these two mean to me.
They are my WHOLE world.  

I am so lucky to have them in my life and even more lucky to get to be their mom.  

Here's to another great year of learning and growing.  

Happy Birthday Kylee!!!

Oh man I probably shouldn't be writing this post right now.  I'm super emotional about my baby girl turning 7!  Time is just going by way too fast...although I wouldn't change a thing either.  This little girl is most definitely one of the best things that has ever happened to me.  She is the sweetest, smartest, kindest, BEST kid.  I am so incredibly lucky to be her mom.  I am amazed every day just how awesome she is and I am loving watching her learn and grow.  She is one awesome kid!!!

My Aunt Pam posted this picture of Kylee on facebook today.  So sweet of her.  I miss her being so little so badly, but also love the adorable person she is becoming.  

Like usual I let her pick everything we did on her special day.  Of course, she had to go to school for part of it...there was no choice there.  She gave out tubes of mini M&M's to everyone in her class and they spotlighted her and had everyone in the class make her a handmade birthday card.  It was so fun for her to come home with 24 different birthday cards to read through.  Then she picked dinner at Olive Garden, a bike ride to the park where we played for awhile, and then a dance party in her room.  I offered to do a birthday party with friends for her and she told me she just wanted to hang out with me and Cannon.  Seriously such a sweet kid.  

She really is one of my best friends too.  

I hope that never changes.  

Kylee Amanda, I really appreciate all you do for our family.  You are the world's best helper and such a great example for your little brother.  I feel like from day one in your life you have been making up for my weaknesses, yet you never complain and always rise to any challenge placed in front of you.  You are the most incredible kid.  I thank Heavenly Father every day for letting me be your mom.  

I LOVE YOU KYLEE!!!

Another Adventure - Park City

I've lost count....but another one of my adventures this year was a girls only trip to Park City with 2 of my favorite friends. It came the weekend right after Em's wedding and it was just the relaxation and stress free party I needed.  :)  Don't get me wrong, the wedding was incredibly gorgeous and fun but a lot of work and it was so fun to just get out and go crazy with my favorite girls.

These girls make me laugh so hard.  I'm not going to blog many details...because what happens in Park City stays in Park City...but we had one awesome night!!!  

I love you Jess and Nikki so very, very much!!!

My Best Friend's Wedding

The big day finally came!  We have been waiting for this wedding for a long time it seems.  It was so fun to be so involved in planning a wedding.  Emilee had a lot of incredibly fun and unique ideas and put a ton of effort and thought into her big day.  It turned out PERFECT!!!

Me, Em, Tonya, and Kylee went to the salon and got our hair done by the professionals.  It was nice to not have to worry about that..and it was way fun to just spend time with my favorite girls.  

They had these sunglasses as gifts for all the guests.  

Super cute idea.  And so fun to see in all the pictures.  

They were married in my Uncle's backyard.  He has a gorgeous house with a beautiful backyard.  We were all very worried about the weather (it rained a lot that week) but it held up perfectly for us.  I didn't get any pictures of the actual ceremony since I was in it and didn't think to give my camera to someone.    

Instead of a book to sign they had these letters that they are going to hang on the wall in their house.  Another SUPER cute idea.  

The big group of people there for the ceremony.  Most of them anyway.  

A few people still didn't make the picture.  

My entire family.  We are all married now.  So strange but SO fun.

The Eisenbarth Kids

Proud parents.  

Super cool siblings.  

Seriously can't say enough how much I love these goof balls.  

They are a great group of people and I am so lucky to have them in my life.  

It makes me smile.  We are all very different, yet a lot alike, and even though we don't always agree or do things the same way, we love and respect each other very much.  We have our drama from time to time of course, but it's so wonderful to know that no matter what these guys have my back and they love me.  I know they would do anything for me...and I would do anything for them.  

I'm pretty sure she was the most beautiful bride EVER.  

This was the grooms cake.  As you can probably guess, Tucker is a State Trooper.

We are so thankful to have such a kind, caring, awesome dude join our family.  

The wedding cake.  The topper is so cute.  

It is kind of hard to see in the picture but it says Mr & Mrs Harris.  

The Flower Girls with the Ring Barer

These two crack me up

My little family.  

Enjoying a pace bar

Another party favor for the guest.  The tags say "Thanks for coming.  You really made our wedding "POP!" and had cute straws attached to them.  

Pace Bars!  YUM!

They also had a nacho bar.  Totally original, yummy, and fun.  

They are a pretty gorgeous couple.  

This kid gets more handsome every day I swear.  

She's so stunning!

Dancing as Husband and Wife

Daddy Daughter Dance

Emilee is most definitely my best friend.  I couldn't ask for a better sister.  I love her so much.  I am so happy she has found someone as wonderful as she deserves and I can't wait for her to start having babies and hanging out with me while our husbands are busy working nights and sleeping all day.  :)  

CONGRATULATIONS TUCKER AND EMILEE!!!
