    Dakota had a friend over to play today. They were a muddy mess and there was no way I was letting them in the house, but that didn’t stop Dakota from banging on the door 🙂

      \ Abby made Mckenzie breakfast in bed and then joined her to watch a little netflix on the iPad 🙂 I love moments like this between these girls. The quiet moments of sisterhood.

    She loves the Magnatiles she got for Christmas. I have to say I love them too. She spends so much time building with them and she gets to be pretty creative with them. I have found a village of houses surrounding her bed and beds for her babies built from these. This happens to be…

      I wasn’t too sure about letting Cooper play with the kinetic sand because I knew it was going to be a huge mess. And I was right. There was sand all over the kitchen by the time he was done, but it was so worth it. He had so much fun building with the…

    38. Another year older. Strange how I don’t feel old, but my 20 year old self thought 38 was nearly ancient! I’m glad Scott snapped a few photos of me on my birthday. I may not like how I look in photos, but I know when I am old (like honestly old like 50 😉…
