Dates with my Sweetheart

I love that my girls are old enough to stay home by themselves, and that Dave and I can go out on regular dates!  Sometimes we go out for dinner, sometimes to a movie, and sometimes we just go walk around stores.  I love this quality time with my sweetie!

Selfies, Sleep, and Sweets

Autumn got a hold of my phone in the car and snapped some selfies... I have cute girls!  Brooke stays up late reading, and works hard in school, and so she gets tired... She falls asleep reading at night a lot of the time.  One night I took a picture of her... what a cutie! September marks the start of fall baking season!  Pumpkin everything!  I made a pumpkin spice cake with whipped caramel frosting.  It was so good!!

Happy 40th to Me!

For my 40th birthday, Dave took me out to a chinese restaurant that we had never tried before. It was really yummy! I love going out with my sweetheart!  I can't believe that I am 40!  I hope that I have many more years with this handsome guy!

Back to School 2016

My sweet girls are back to school!  I can't believe how much they are growing up... and how fast time goes!  Ciera is a junior (holy moly!), Chloe is a freshman (woah!), Brooke is in 6th grade (yikes!), and Autumn is in 4th grade (Ahhhhhhh!)!  My cute girls are getting so big!  I hope they all have a wonderful year!

Bedroom Makeover

Since the hailstorm destroyed Chloe's bedroom in April, and we had to get repairs made, we decided to switch Ciera and Chloe's rooms around.  Ciera got the room that needed repairs (which the carpet and painting were done this month!!), and Chloe got the back bedroom.  We gave it a makeover... and it turned out great!

Summer's Last Hurrah!

When we had Tanner and Hannah here, we bought a family membership to the Dallas Zoo.  It is great... now we can go whenever we want!  I took the girls for an end-of-summer adventure.  We had fun.  The weather was not too hot (miraculously), and it actually misted a bit.  The animals were active and out to see.  It was a great day!

Finished Headboard!

Dave finished our headboard... It looks so good!  He made us side tables to go with it too!  What a guy!
