Does it get any Cuter!?

COUSINS - Ensley & Coraline - Now BOTH BIG SISTERS
Picture from Thanksgiving - Ashby Family Announced on Christmas they will be having another GIRL!

Merry Christmas!

We decided to head about 15 minutes west of our house to take a few pictures on Christmas. 

This is the Colorado River. 

Merry Christmas!!
(Honey just write whatever you want on your board.......) Wife Mistake.

She just hates to pose for the camera....

Coraline still has not adjusted to all the sunshine. 

FLYING

No Smiles - Too hungry at this point. Lunch it is!

Back in Business!

We just got internet at the house so no more traveling down the mountain to Starbucks to send emails or for Levi to work. 

THANK GOODNESS!!

LOTS to Catch Up on Coming Soon!

On the Road

We have started the trip to Arizona!
Right now we are driving in Texas.
No meltdowns yet.... but we did drive at night for eight hours while they slept....so Lee and I look like we have been hit by a bus.

We stopped in Oklahoma City and walked the zoo for a few hours in beautiful weather. They had newborn gorillas which we got to see up close due to the fact that the zoo was vacant during early morning winter hours on a Tuesday.

Thanks everyone for your love and prayers on this trip. We will miss our Indiana family but we will enjoy this adventure and getting to spend time with Levi's baby sister and her little family.

More to come when I am not entertaining these crazies.

Three Kiddos Three Hours .....Church Alone

We survived and it was nice to have a full day of time out of the house with all our church friends.

Life is a Little Hectic...

Life has been a little hectic lately.

Levi left for Arizona so I have been a single mother which has been a new challenge. 

We will have Thanksgiving at our house this year and then we will pack up and close on the house on December 9th. Nephi's birthday is the 10th. 

We officially found a house in Arizona yesterday so that is a huge relief. 

I have been homeschooling, packing, and trying to fill our time with play-dates.

Great Wolf Lodge

The stress of having our house on the market was getting to us....all of us....

So we decided to take off to Ohio and go to The Great Wolf Lodge. Magical. I love this place. 

Hotel, Water-park, restaurants, activities, Starbucks, no makeup, sweatpants, and wet hair....Magical. 

We even got EARS!
