Where or where did the time go?


Just when I think I will have time to write a post, life gets in the way. However, our girls are growing up way to fast and I don't want to forget a moment of it when I am old and grey. I want to be able to look back at this blog and remember those little thinks that I know I will have forgotten. I'm going to write at least once a week with at least one trinket of the greatness that is our family, and I expect all of you to harass me when I don't.
So here goes!

Josh:
Has started working overtime to keep up with demands for their products. His company has finally paid of their loan, so they are now finally working for profit, and hopefully that means big things for Josh and the company.


Bo:
Has really become a mamas girl, and I am loving every minute of it. It has been really hard for me to spend all day with the kids, and then be gone from them for the majority of the time they are awake, and I think this has been a big part of why she is so much cuddlier then she use to be. Bo is also so in love with My Little Pony, it is currently her favorite show, and it out weights any other show that is on. Sorry Dora you are no longer in the front running any more. Her favorite pony is Princess Twilight because she is purple. In one of the newer episodes she gets wings, and each time she sees her with wings, she is surprised. Often yelling to us, Mom Dad Twilight still has her wings. It melts my heart.



Pyper:
Wow has she changed lately. She loves when we come home, and she lets us know she will not be out shined by her sister. She is our best eater, but she would much rather share her dinner with Pistol and beg for what is on your plate instead. I can't believe how big she is either. She is the same height now at 15 m. that Bo was at 18 m. She is also in the 85th percent in height. She is so aware of her surroundings too, and has really started talking. Her favorite words are: Mama, Dada, BoBo, Pistal, Wiggly, baby, cooke, bye bye, nigh night, granma, kitty, milk. She amazes us everyday with new vocabulary, and is constantly trying to steal our attention from anyone else in the room.


Me:
Work has been busy, and I am often so mentally tired, that when I get home, I just want to snuggle with my girls.



I love our Family

Trip to Jon and Susan's

W
We have been planning a trip to see Jon, Susan, Peyton and Scottie since they were here during Christmas break and Pyper's baptism.  We headed out after my last day of the July SIP for my work.  It was a nice change from working all summer long, and before I started the school year again.  Jon and Susan are such amazing hosts and so much fun to be around.  We had so much fun sitting pool side, watching the kids play together, and sending the boys off to Chicago so we could shop and enjoy the kids.  I couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and enjoyable weekend.  Thanks again for your amazing hospitality.

What a great time, we can't wait to see them again soon.

On the way back we stopped In Galena IL at the Chestnut Mountain Resort.  It was well worth the stop.



We took a selfie on the ski lift

Took a chance to take some pictures

It was such a wonderful and relaxing time Thanks again for having us.

Pyper's First Birthday Party

We celebrated Pyper's first birthday in true Fourth of July style.  Luckily we did an independence themed Gala a few years back, so we had lots of Red White and Blue decorations that we borrowed for the day. It was a beautiful day, and we were so excited to have everyone that was able to make it there.

Love this picture of the birthday girl
