From Ours to Yours!

Today's Lovies #14

Today we started (officially) planning my 10th Year Reunion - yep I'm that old! Today I remembered why I love my friend Hayley - she's been stuck with me since 6th grade and we bonded over Friends episodes. She is so fun and you should totally check out her blog!!

My Super Creative Friend

Check out these ADORABLE creations by my friend Katie. I've seen them in real life and they are too much fun!!!!

Dala

I saw these girls on PBS last night - AMAZING!!!!

Today's Lovies #13

I love fall - the cool weather, the pumpkin lattes, and the leaves. I'm getting so excited about having my windows open and listening to kids walk to school outside our house. After my successful embracing summer experiment I'm now going to see what else I can embrace. Gar suggests raking leaves (he hates raking leaves so he's working on some recruits to help him). I'm thinking bigger - could I embrace working out, ironing, and paying bills?

What do you suggest embracing?

Pony Church

This Sunday our church held their service at a local camp. KBug usually LOVES church - the singing, the greeting, the praying, pretty much the whole bit. This weekend, however, she was excited to distraction about getting to ride a pony. Every couple minutes on the way to the service, during the service, at the potluck lunch, and after we heard her ask "Is it time for the pony?" "Are we going to ride ponies now?" Finally the moment came for the pony ride - I've never seen her so excited - and she walked up to the horse, Gar lifted her up, and they led the pony around. She rode up there like a pro! The rest of the day was filled with dreams of owning her own pony, naming it Sparkly, and finally at the end of the day she asked - "Are we going to Pony Church again?"

KBug LOVES this song and I'm a little sick of the Beyonce version (only because we've listened to it too much not because it's not awesome - because it is!!!). Anyhoo - now we're totally digging this version and it has both of us with our fist microphones and hips groovin'! So today we love Pomplamoose and so should you!

Also we are TOTALLY OBSESSED with frozen yogurt - we go to a local place that has self serve and 40 different toppings.

Last night Gar brought me home a gift - a Freelance Whales album (thanks to a friend from his work). I haven't heard anything new in a long time (my fault for being too busy) and this band excites me!!!! It is the perfect summer album - I only wish it was cool enough to hop in the CRX and go for a long night drive in the country with the windows down and the sunroof open. In short - this album reminds me I'm still young!!

Best Husband Ever!!!!

Today's Lovies #9

Dear Sweet Husband - tonight I came home to a vacumed house - it was blissful!!! Everyday I find new reasons to love you. (Also - don't forget Mr. Senor Art Direcor that I am calling you Senor for TWO DAYS as a trial for a new pet name!!!)

We totally rocked today - we could not have possibly added more to our day - we went to gymnastics, then met the nephews at our house, then we took my maiden voyage of three kids in a car to see the puppet show at the library, then we came home for puzzles, lunch and naps, then we went to church for VBS. I can safely say that I did not waste a moment and loved every minute of it!!!!
