Riding to & from School

 Rides to & from School

Our Dogs LOVE Car Rides. We didn't even know they enjoyed it so much before now. They never went on many rides in Utah, unless long road trips. Lacy somehow thinks shes a Parrot, until I tap on the breaks. haha. Benson think's hes a Person, often thinking he needs to sit in a chair. Ricco is usually found trying to look out the windows. It kind of feels likes a mini circus when going to & from School. :/

Benson being festive in his Christmas Bells.

Life Lately...

Life Lately...

This is My Favorite Shopping Buddy. :)

(Yes we are still wearing Shots... because its 85 here)

Ricco has been getting into Mischief. 

(IE running around wearing Savannah's Underwear. haha.)

He also sleeps a lot... being a baby and all. 

Snack Time after School...

It's not unusual to see this at Family Dinners... 

IPhone Family here. ;)

Favorite Family Snack... whenever we buy Sugar Snap Pea's, they last maybe a few days.

One of mine & the kids Favorite pass times at Grandpa & Grandma's is looking at Dad's Childhood Photos.

Alan's 1st Motorcycle!!! He has a bomber jacket on... ironically Brent also has one.

Grandma surprised us with a New Book from her School Book Fair. 

Her favorite new show is Princess Sophia the first.

Benson is still my shadow...

And lastly.... I have purchased over a dozen pairs of Cowboy Boots since Moving here. 

But seriously aren't these Amazing?! I got 2 pairs of this style. Tan & Coral.

(which I'm redoing into Deep Red. ;))

Mornings lately....

 Mornings Lately...

 Its been a strange adjustment not having Brenton home. We miss him a lot. However, it has been really fun having one on one time with Miss Savannah. She is such a sweetheart. A total girly-girl who loves Pink, Minnie Mouse, and her Benson. She is animated, witty, funny, & super smart.

I am so glad this School Week is over! 

 

First off Savannah has been doing alot of this.... 

If you can't tell she wants to sit on My Lap. I think she is really Missing her Brother.

Waiting for her Brenton, to get out of School...

Waiting his turn to be let out of School on Thursday. 

We wanted to show everyone what a Moon Cub is...

TA-DA!!! Mallory & I made Cinnamon Peach Jam!! Man a ton of hard work... mostly Blanching issues. I have a new appreciation for those of you who do this on a normal basis!! Lets just say, It maybe a few months before I take up Canning again. But most importantly We did it!! :)

YUM!! We had Artichokes for Dinner tonight!

My Sweet Brenton... we are still struggling with going to School every Morning. I hope next week is better!!

 Its true. Pets help Stress go down...

The Kids & I share a Room... its a little cramped! There are over 30 small stuffed animals they "had" to have with them. I pick up half of them off the floor every morning.

 I am so glad this Week is over!!
