Sin City

VEGAS baby!!! For the past couple of years we have taken the time to plan an annual girls trip away from teh hustle and bustle of our lives, away from the kids and their activities, away from the hubby and all that comes along with him and away from the housework, planning, scheduling, cooking, cleaning and laundry. Just a good old, carefree weekend away! In the past it has been a weekend trip over the Amaerican Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping weekend. Not always the same group but always a variation of the core. This year we stepped it up a notch and took off to Las Vegas for 5 fun filled, sleep deprived says.

Janelle, Jody, Marni, Danielle, Laura and myself at The Bar at Time Square Dueling Pianos!!!

Another great night of danicing and singing to go down in the books

Oh, GARTH! You had me at hello!!! I cannot tell you how many people told me how much we were going to love this show and I cannot tell you how, not for one minute, were my expecations crushed. He is so down-to-earth, funny and just simply amazing. I am getting goosebumps again just typing this. This in itself was worth the whole trip!!!

I had an absolute blast with you girls and cannot wait to see what next year's adventure brings us!!!

Breaking Ground!!

The hole in the ground that we have been working so hard to raise money for is finally becoming a reality. So thankful for all the supportive and generous companies in our community and surrounding communities.

Couldn't be doing this without them!

Sunday BUN-Day

If there ever was a self-diagnosed carb-aholic, I am that person. There is not much better tasting than fresh buns in my world. I came across this recipe on Pinterest and have used it at least 5 times now. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!

YUM!!!

First day of PRE-K!!!

If you are noticing the 2 different outfits, it is because Graidan had to have his photo taken the same day as Hudson on his first day, even thought he didn't start until the week after. Turns out that "pre"-picture is one of the best I got of this little joker!

First Day of Grade ONE!!!

Where have the past 6  years gone? Hudson was not too sure about going to school EVERY day this year.....and let's be honest.....neither was this mom!

B2S BBQ

Tonight we were invited to Hudson and Graidan's school to the first ever Back To School BBQ. In my opinion, this was the best idea and whoever came up with it deserves some credit. The intention was to get the kids to visit their classroom, meet their teacher and see which of their friends that were going to be in their class this year, and put their school supplies away so that when they returned in the morning, they were all organized and ready to go.....and we all know how much I appreciate organization!!! :)

One Last Round

The boys and I got to spend one last weekend at the lake and out on the golf course with Grandma and Grandpa O'Neill this weekend while Dad was at work.
