It was been awhile.  A long while!  I keep telling myself, " I should post.  I should post," but with Instagram, Facebook, and texting....I feel like everyone knows everything already.  I even forget to check my blog to see if others have posted.  I am glad to see that some of you are still posting.  Facebook feeds and updates are more and more complicated and annoying sometimes, and my Instagram feed has way more posts by Justin Bieber and the Kardashians than my friends......I should change that huh! 
Anyway.....I have decided to try and keep up my blog.  I think blogging is going to make a COMEBACK!! hahaha!

Quick overview of what's been happening...
We bought a new house.  Love it. 
Chris is really busy at work.  Grateful.
Girls are growing.  Blessed.
Sabra and I sold the Treehouse.  Hard. 
All my family is healthy and doing well.  Like. :)


We had a huge thing happen this year.....we took family pictures for the first time ever.  EVER.  There is not one picture with all four of us in it....until now.  Our fabulous photographer did an amazing job.  I always thought that I would lose weight first before taking pictures but it hasn't happened and I would hate for something to happen and we didn't have one.   My goal is to take pictures at least once a year from now on.  

Ryan is about to turn 10 and is in 4th grade.  She is taking piano lessons and painting lessons.  She is loving her school and still loves to sing.  She is a great, great girl. 
Reagan is about to turn 8 and will be baptized.  Amazing.  She is also taking piano lessons and will start taking sewing lessons soon too.  We just celebrated (?) 3 years since she was diagnosed with Diabetes.  We had a huge scare earlier this year and she had to be flown out to Phoenix but she got better very quickly and is doing well now.  

SO.....I'm gonna try and keep this up.  I hope you will too!

The Grim Wreathers!

I asked my husband if he thought we should have a name for our booth at the craft show. He thought of "The Grim Wreathers".....and it stuck. We even got paged at the store once by him and Bobby.

So PLEASE check out our etsy shop

We would love your support!! Help us SELL OUT!!!

Thanks!

At least they aren't coloring ON the walls.....

Over the past year or so....the girls have been setting up an art gallery in our house. I have never been bothered by it at all. I love to see them being creative and I love that they aren't actually coloring ON the walls, so this is fine for me. I am about to take everything down soon, because I have been redecorating, so I had to get a picture of what's up right now. One day soon, we will be expanding our house and making the girls a bigger bedroom and I want to come up with a way that they can display their art....but until then, I'm going to take these down and store them somewhere safe.




















































Were you counting? That's 32 "art" pieces.



Yet another Disney Post

I think the majority of my family posts are about us going to Disneyland! Oh well....we have annual passes and they are about to black out for the whole summer so went the last chance we got. Plus, Disneyland revamped Star Tours and California Adventure opened up the new Little Mermaid ride so we really wanted to go. It was SO BUSY but it was a fun trip.

We got into Disneyland at 8:30 am and went straight to get Fast Passes to Star Tours. We got them....but we couldn't get on until 7:30 PM! and by 9:30 am, all the fast passes were gone. The regular wait was 200 minutes! Insane.


This is when we were waiting for the Little Mermaid ride. The longer we waited, the farther away we got from the ride. But this wait was only about 45 minutes. Not too bad.



Ahh....Captain EO. I promise myself that I will NEVER watch this movie ever again, but here I am once again. It is so awful. But the girls enjoy it (and Chris) so I'll suffer through it.



The Toy Story line was also SO LONG, but one of our favorites. I had the highest score!








The girls love this car, but refuse to ride Mr. Toad's. We did it once and they hated it. It's amazing how creepy these old rides are.






I have no words.



On the Rockets.



Being 7 at Disneyland is awesome.....you get to ride all by yourself!






As busy as it was, it was still really fun and the girls behaved themselves really well.

Til next time....
