Tis the season!

Of all things duck hunting, holiday parties and Christmas shopping galore. Tis the season of busyness!




Shopping trip to winco. Best shopping buddies ever.





Fall has finally arrived to Visalia. Leaves are falling, mornings are crisp and the fog has started to creep in! Beau said the dairy was super foggy this morning. My favorite time of year!





Eileen Daly is the ultimate at sending sweet cards, remembering every holiday and birthday. We got a thanksgiving card in the mail and Kensie was loving making up stories to the picture :)





Beau cleaned and organized our garage! Happy mama!





Matching cow jammies from nana Ronda!





Uh oh....these two kids!





The boys successful trip!






Tess has been amazing. She's turned into a very good dog. I actually kinda like her :)






This week, we are dog sitting for Brian. Guin is in the middle and let's say, I'll be holding on for dear life and possibly my sanity this week!!!

Middle of November!

I cannot believe that we are half way through November! We have had another busy, full week. I had my first end of session recital last night and it went so well! There's a month and a half break for the holidays and then we are back at it beginning of January :)



Jake and Zabba watched the kids for me last night; safe to say they had an entertaining time with Uncle and Aunt!

Learning to clean a duck! She was extremely curious and hands on; this kid is never afraid to try anything new! Up close and in the action.



Kensie 2 years ago!


Jamers this morning. I'd say they've got the hunting gene.






Her favorite toy; her tent from Jake and Abbey that she's already cut up and drawn on but she's obsessed! She and James play and play. I found them both in the hamper yesterday, the bucket of crayons and markers dumped on top, both faces streaked with black marker...how the heck did she get him in there?! I do not want to know...




Who's excited to see a movie?!




Their first movie; Sean and Rochelle treated them to popcorn and Planes last Monday. How cute are they?!?




So excited :)


Dad and his munchkins.



Kensie and I baked all morning to have goodies for after the Fusion recital.



She's the best helper; always wants to do everything herself ha ha





Thanks sugar!

Nothing too crazy happening

But here are a few pics of our week!



Bundled up for a run!


James was sick for a few days...a smile after a very long nap, swollen eyes and all!


Beau taking care of sicky.


Craft day yesterday! Finger painting and getting creative with an egg carton...

A fun filled weekend!!!

 The Bride-to-Be!!! Renee had her bachelorette party this weekend up in Ripon with a great group of girls.

 Katelyn and I were in charge of dinner; yummy pasta and delicious sandwiches. 

 We ate, played Bachelorette Jeopardy and opened gifts.

 Love seeing this one laugh! She is absolutely contagious.

 She was showered with lots of undies and adorable nighties.

 Can't wait for the big day in about 3 weeks!!!

 And my man ran ANOTHER half marathon yesterday morning. We were on our way home so I wasn't able to watch him race but he did incredible!

 Despite a nagging hip injury, he pushed through with a fantastic time of 1:43. So proud of you babe!

Dadda Babba and Paul took their bikes and followed the course. Dad Mills was a champ and walked about 6 miles of the course, keeping all of us posted on how he was doing!

 And a few pictures from Halloween before trick-or-treating!

 Thank you Papa and Maxine for dinner and the cutest pumpkin puppy! James clearly loved it : )

This little dude is shot. End of a night full of fun, walking door to door with the kiddos!
