All Because 2 People Fell in Love

I finally have a chance to sit down an blog after our extremely busy and exhausting weekend. To say that I am sick of sitting in the car would be an understatement, after about 10 hours of driving this weekend. 

 Bryan drove with me for my 2 hour drive to school on Saturday.  He wandered around Madison for 4 hours while I attended class. After class, we were on the road again for another 3 year hour drive to Eau Claire.  We were so ready to be done driving at that point.  It was a long day of sitting.  But I'm glad we made the drive so that we could share in our friend's wedding!  

We met up with our friends Jenna and Andy in Eau Claire, so we could quick get ready to attend Lesley and Kevin's wedding reception.  We made it just in time for dinner!

I have to say that my husband looked smokin' hot last night!  He is not one to usually dress up in more than just khaki's so I was excited that he let me assist in picking out a nice dress outfit last week. And our course, Jenna and Andy looked great as always!  Of course Jenna was able to wear a cute little dress only 4 weeks after having a baby... puke!!!! Ha Ha 

Lesley was a beautiful bride, but I expected nothing less :)  

I love that the new fad at weddings is a photo booth!  I don't think that this could ever get old!  It was so fun and entertaining!

And to think that we weren't even drinking...lol. We are just that photo genetic :)

Attending Lesley's wedding yesterday and my bestie Jenna's wedding last year makes me think this...

Its funny to think about how different my wedding planning would have been if Pinterest would have been around when Bryan and I were married!

We had a great time at the wedding but I think I enjoyed meeting baby Gavin for the first time just as much!  He is such a handsome little guy and I just couldn't get enough of him and his sweet little baby noises.

I'm hoping that I can love up on this handsome face more now that I was finally able to meet him!  Jenna and Andy, you made one beautiful baby boy :)
And to add in a cute one that I took on Friday while at my sister's house...

I'm loving all these sweet babies being around,  it really helps with my baby fever for the time being :)

We had a great weekend but I'm sure glad to be back home. We had a full day of sledding today but I'll save that for another day!

Bryleigh's 1st Visit to the Dentist

Bryleigh had her first trip to the dentist today. Unlike Christian's hesitation on his first dentist visit, Bryleigh loved it!

Bryleigh was very curious and was very interested while the sweet dental hygienist  Chris, explained all of the tools to her.  She was asking many questions, and Chris was so sweet and answered all of  her questions :)  She loved the bubble gum flavor of the toothpaste!

 She was quite the little busy body wanting to play with all the tools, especially the water gun and suction tool!

She just ate up all the attention from her dentist and the office ladies!  They just thought she was the cutest :) And what can I say, she is! She was very excited to get a new toothbrush and a bracelet after her teeth were all clean!

But she was a tad bit disappointed when she realized that she was not going to be getting a sucker like at the doctor or the bank. But of course, she batted her little brown eyes at the receptionist on the way out while asking, "you have sucker?' And she walked out with a big 'ole tootsie pop.  (Shhh...don't tell the dentist!)

And to make the day even better, our neighbor is doing much better today and they believe he will be able to come home tomorrow! Thanks for all of the prayers, God sure is good :)

Just another Tuesday Night

I had a long day at work and the last thing that I wanted to do tonight was cook dinner. I have been feeling that way too much lately but I'm guessing its because I have the winter blues :(  I'm thinking that this cold, snow, and dreary weather can go away any time now. But these kind of nights make for fun family dinners.  Tonight we decided to go to Applebee's since my favorite meal is only $5 this month and since it was Tuesday, the kids ate for 99 cents, that makes for a double bonus :)  Cost for a family of 4 to eat out....$22.11!

After an early dinner (since I was starving after not having time to eat lunch today) we came home and finished up Christian's snacks for his treat day tomorrow.  We tried to be creative this month so we made Fishing Poles :)

I love how they turned out and I'm hoping Christian's classmates enjoy them also!

We also had fun playing with Bryleigh's box of activities that she received for Christmas. I was excited that we did not turn on the TV for the entire night.  Just a fun night spent with family and fun activities, it doesn't get any better than that.

Now that the kids are in bed, I need to do some studying for my exam this weekend. Also, please say a prayer for our neighbor Gerald aka Fuzzy, he is in the hospital and has many medical complications at this time. We pray for a speedy recovery so that he is able to return home.

Lazy Sunday

Sometimes it is nice to have lazy days!  Our Sunday consisted of absolutely nothing.  I enjoyed being able to catch up on house work but Christian on the other hand hated it.  He kept saying he was bored.  Oh how he is his mother's son :) But we did have fun playing games, doing art projects, and the kids helped me make pizza for dinner!

Bryleigh being crabby!

 
I also finished up on all the girls bows to match their Easter dresses!  All 4 cousins will have similar dresses so now I just need to find a matching shirt for Christian!

Now its time to go catch up on some ZZZZ's!

Fun Filled Friday

 Bryan had to go to the VA for doctor appointments on i, so  I enjoyed a fun filled day with both kiddos since Christian didn't have school.  My sister only works on Saturday's so since we both had the day off, we were finally able to get the kids together to play.  And I was able to get some sister time in too!

All the girls are just too cute together.  I don't have any pictures of Christian and Denali since they were too busy making funny videos on Denali's tablet.  We spent all morning at Auntie Katie's and even stayed for lunch. The kids wore off all their energy so they took a nice, long nap in the afternoon!

After naps, we met Grandma and Grandpa at The Golden Corral for Dinner...

Nothing like cotton candy mustaches!  We had a fun movie night at Grandma and Grandpa's after dinner and enjoyed our relaxing evening!

Happy Valentine's Day

I have 3 perfect Valentine's that I was able to spend my evening (and every day) with!  And they are all I need :)  

They each had a little gift waiting for them when I got home!  And since it was a cold, snowy day, we just stayed in for the evening to avoid the restaurant rushes.  Sometimes that is more fun anyways!  Happy Love Day to you all :)
