Wild Driver!

Hoping that over time she will "calm down" a bit while she is in the driver's seat, however, at this point, she is a road hazard!  Look out World here I come!

Marty the Moose is visiting...

We had a visitor from Tessa's School!  Marty the Moose takes turn visiting the homes of the "Pre-Kers" as they are called :)  This week he came to visit and we enjoyed his stay...story time, trying on the cowboy hat and hangin' around the house with the girls!  We decided to make some Moose art to "make him feel not shy" as Tessa said!  One of the many joys of school for Tessa, she is having a great time at school! It is interesting to see the "shy" side of our girl when she is at school!  Growing up so quickly!

Expressive Ella

 Ella enjoyed her Friday Night Movie Time!  She is hilarious.  Tessa and I were both hysterical at some of her quotes today....
Ella, did you go to potty in your pull-up....(Eyes closed, head turned)  "I don't think I am gonna tells you!" Did you Ella? "I am busy, I think I will wait until later to tell you!"

"Tessa, do you think we should get a T-Rex?, I think we should then I could pet him!"

"Did you know I have Hello Kitty panties on today and I love them!"

....it is non-stop, I wish I could record it all, realistically, I am trying to take it all in as well all enjoy her.  She is like Kevin is so many ways, however, he does not have Hello Kitty wearables??

Catch me if you can....

 Tessa has officially caught the largest fish of the season!  Her Barbie pole was bending! We were so proud of her and she was proud of herself, however, she did not want to take it off the hook!  :)

A Little Help From His Girls!

 Is it an Ink Monster...No, it is Tessa.  Kevin has three girls that love him, and we wanted to help him out during his busy week!  The girls wanted to get "right in the mix", and work at the office a little bit.  We enjoyed the evening and the "picnic supper" that we took in to Dad, the girls thought it would be fun to surprise him with pizza!  Then his girls caught shirts off the dryer...."everybody do your part so Daddy can come home for the evening!

Tessa even went in with him recently on the weekend to help out.  She found the ink, or the ink found her, it took some major scrubbing to remove, but she was so proud!  Then receiving a photo text from Kevin with her in the ink was humorous.  One of those simple joys of Daddy and Tessa time where Mommy is not involved and they are both happy about that!

Buggies Galore

The girls were fascinated by the view looking out from our house today across the field.  They were even more intrigued by where all the horses were at that went with the buggies!  Both of them certainly join me in a love of animals! They have already requested, kittens, horses, pigs, and cows. 

I reminded them that we do have a dog, and she keep us busy!  They insisted that they would certainly be helpers?? I can't help but wonder if they would be so eager to rise and shine extra early in the cold of winter to do barn chores. Actually, I think Ella would if it could mean having a barn full of animals.  Tessa on the other hand, hmmm, she might find other things more enjoyable.  Only time (and Daddy) will tell!

Happy Birthday to Our Man!

You bring us joy!  You take care of us all, and what a fabulous man you are!  Happy Birthday Kevin, to the man we love.....My handsome husband and An amazing Daddy to our girls!

Kevin is the most giving and humble man I know.  I feel blessed everyday by the simple joys of the life that we share.  Kevin, You are fun and funny....and it is a joy being married to such an amazing individual! I love growing with you and having the comfort that we are

(as our vows say...)

 journeying through life together....

Happy ?? Birthday...

Like a bottle of good wine, aging so well! XOXO
