11 Years!
It is hard to believe that my husband and I have been married over 11 years now. We upheld our annual tradition and went away for two night together! His sister, mom and aunt came down to stay here with the kids. It was so nice knowing our kids were well taken care of and at our house. That meant I only had to pack for 2 of us instead of loading up all that extra kid gear. This year we went to Muncie, IN and stayed at a Bed and Breakfast.
At night you gave the hosts your breakfast order and let them know what time you wanted to come eat. This is what we woke up to.
Someone made ME a hot breakfast and I left all the dishes right there on the table. That is priceless!
While we were gone we did more than our fair share of....eating. We enjoyed a very leisurely lunch
This was delicious! We took in books and I believe we spent over an hour eating s.l.o.w.l.y and reading and talking. No interruptions and I got to eat while everything was piping hot and I got to eat SLOWLY. It was such a wonderful meal.
We took in a movie, did some shopping and even toured a free art museum. After all that....time to again!
The Bed and Breakfast had a private sitting area for us with Dish TV and comfy couches.
We rented a Red Box movie and curled on together and watched the movie, had some snacks (of course) and loved knowing that no kids would come tromping in to use the bathroom. We soaked up every minute of our together time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
So thankful God brought us together 11+ years ago. It just gets better and better!

Before and After
We were long over due in getting hair cuts for the kids. Today we finished up our school and I loaded up the kids to go get much needed trims.
Please ignore the Genius' facial expression...she inherited that look from her dad's side of the family ***and no that is NOT a dig. They seriously ALL do this in pics, Need proof? There was not even a flash with this photo. It was taken on my phone***
The girls asked if this time they could be the ones to tell the hair dressers what they wanted done. We had some discussions and I gave them permission. They were both giggly and excited. I kinda thought something was up. What was going to be a trim, turned into this!
I LOVE it!!!! They look so grown up and beautiful.
And not to be left out....The Professor went with clips 4 and 5. We were hoping to tone down his "rock star" look.
He looks so cute! I swear he looked 3 as soon as they shaved his hair off.
Do you let your kids choose their haircuts or do you still call the shots?

First Ever
Family Field Day! My husband came up with this idea and thought it would be a fun tradition to start. He put the Genius in charge of this years field day. He took her on a date to help her brainstorm and then she took it from there. We were all given assignments from her and she planned activities for everyone. Including a family race with the Professor being pushed from person to person in his stroller. It was a super fun day. Enjoy the pics!
