Slide Fun!!

When John bought the slide, the intention was he would install in next summer. 

Well, the girls begged and pleaded so he installed it. 

It has gotten so much use!

The girls just go up and down all of the time! 

Roz and Ella came out and tried it too!

Autumn Moon Festival

Not only was September 13th actually Friday the 13th but it was also the Autumn Moon Festival. 

This is celebrated big in the Asian world. 

I wanted to send moon cakes into school for the girls so I made a trip to the Asian market. 

Panda cookies, chopsticks, and haw flakes for my super happy girls!

Addy was all about taking in the book and showing off to her class. 

Here is her teacher and her class. 

Don't you love her pink hair?

Here are the cakes we sent in. They were lotus seed. Blech. 

We then celebrated and tried the cakes with Ella and Roz. 

Consensus: Addy and Roz loved them! 

Ella and Ava hated them!!

Happy Birthday, Katie!!!

Mama Katie had a birthday. 

We met for pumpkin pancakes with some other friends. 

Her birthday gift is still on order. 

But I want to shout out how much I love her!

I talked to her 10 times a day, I tell her everything. I mean everything. 

My kids love her like the 2nd mama she is. 

I'm so grateful she is in my life. 

Happy Birthday, to my sweet friend!

Aunt Emily's New Job!!

Aunt Emily has a new job!!! 

She is still working at Miller's but now she can add Christy's Corner Cafe to her resume. 

I saw a news article a few months back about a new cafe opening in a neighboring town. 

This little cafe is only hiring individuals with disabilities. 

Enter Emily. 

She's happy and she loves it. 

If you are ever in the area, stop in and say Hi!! 

Shelby's Wedding

One of my dear friends at work got married last weekend! 

We celebrated a few weeks prior at Put In Bay, followed by a shower at work. 

The day of the wedding started with a bridal brunch at my house!! 

I hosted the wedding party, as well as, the mothers of the bride. 

Then it was off to the glam appointments. 

I was fortunate enough to have a friend who I claimed a favor. 

She does hair and I asked her to do mine. 

She outdid herself. It was amazing!

We had a wonderful time and Shelby was absolutely gorgeous!

JoJo Siwa Concert

For Addy's birthday in April, we gave her two tickets to the JoJo Siwa concert! 

Poor girl had to wait FIVE months to reap the benefits of her gift. 

Jolie and Leilani came up and the four of us feasted on El Camino before heading to the show. 

The girls were totally decked out in the best JoJo outfits!

The girls were both super shy at first. I truly don't think she realized we were going to see her in person. She couldn't believe it was the real deal. It wasn't the best concert I have ever been to but goodness, Addy was the sweetest!! Ha!

If You Need Us....

...we are most likely at a sporting event. 

Fall Sports have kicked in and it's crazy!

Addy started Cheer!

And soccer, where they won their first game!

Ava Kate started soccer and scrimmaged the boys. 

The girls were successful with a 7-3 win.

Of course, we celebrated with ice cream!

Ava also started volleyball and they won all three games!!

We are also managing through tumbling and piano. 

Our girls are busy but we love this life!! 

Can't wait for the next couple of months!!
