Thankfulness~

SO much to be thankful for like...
Photos from Savannah and Josh eating Thanksgiving Feast with BC~

Looking out my window during an early morning workout to see this gorgeous sunrise~

Time with family~

Aunt Susan, Jan, and Jennifer gave Rosie her first bridal shower~

SO many wonderful gifts and sweet time sharing stories with each other~

Happy faces sharing in the excitement of such fun times ahead~

Thank you, Aunt Susan, for opening your home to us and loving us so well~

That same weekend, we decided it was time to move Scott's office upstairs and give the boys the basement for their room~

It took some major moving but we got it done in one afternoon~

And that night the little girls went down to watch a movie with the boys~

Savannah and Josh went to the mountains to cut their Christmas tree~

 And went to see Santa~

And then, of course, we're thankful for Thanksgiving Day and having lots of family for lunch and dinner.

This was a sad time for Jan's family because their beloved Ray passed away suddenly~

and were in town for the burial. We were so thankful to have them eat with us on such a holiday~

Sweet brother and sisters~

For dinner, our children and family came~

 SO thankful for our grandchildren!!!

And tables full of family~

So much to be thankful for and counting every single blessing!!!

Finishing Off a Fun July~

Our dog Sadie loves golf cart rides and now she has been jumping up on the seat as if she is a person~

Look at the beautiful yard my amazing husband keeps!!!

We were SO blessed to get to spend the day with the boys while Savannah went to school for the day.
We actually stopped by Target for a little shopping, and they were all perfect~

Back in time for lunch~

There is nothing I love more than watching the boys busy in their space living their best life~

 Their new house is SO perfect, and we love going to visit.

The girls were all due haircuts, so we made appointments at this new salon in town~

BEFORE

 5 haircuts in and hour and half~

 Mimi came to be with us since she works a few buildings down~

 From long and stringy to fresh and healthy~

AFTER

 While we were at the salon, the boys were enjoying a sleepover with Aunt Susan~

 She spoils them, and they adore her... We ALL do!

The weekend brought a day with ALL the bigs.
We hung out by the pool, grilled, made ice cream,

 And went for a ride on the boat~

 We loved having Hayden with us too~

We also got to take care of our grand dog, Cabot~

 This photo of Rosie and Calla just made me smile all over.
Calla said, "Rosie, will you hold my hand?" :)

My mom and dad have a huge garden as you have already seen, and they are always gifting us wonderful vegetables~

This week after room time, I surprised the kids with a box of butterbeans the GOT to shell for dinner.
Seriously, they thought it was so awesome and ate every single one!!!

Marshall is ONE~

Today we were SO excited to celebrate little Marshall's first birthday.
We all dressed in our flannels, did our chores, and drew with new pencils that came in the mail~

Late Valentine's and CNY surprise!

The party was at 4 so we arrived for Marshall to open all his gifts~

We ate pizza and yummy cupcakes~

And MY favorite... PHOTOS~

What a beautiful One Year Old~

We all love you to pieces little sweet boy!!!!!

Happy & Sad~ {Santa Visit}

Calla's recovery had been amazing!
You would never know she had such a major incision~

Her post op appt went very well and her surgeon thought she was doing great!~

 We thought since we were so close, we should go by and see Santa~

 We also enjoyed our traditional Maggiano's lunch and got to watch major construction being done~

We traveled back to our old church for Mr. Ben's funeral (Josh's Dad)~

Love this photo of their family!!!
A Happy & Sad day but blessings all around!
