Family Dinner Night

 Family dinner night at Amerigo's was delicious!!! I think Matt told me 10 times how good his tortellini was. Yum yum! We had so much fun. I love this crazy family...there is never a dull moment.

 Matts mom Stephanie was half Italian. She passed away almost 1 year exactly before we met. I wish so bad that I would have gotten to meet her, but Ive learned so much about her through stories. Dedo is her sister and they look almost just alike. So its always neat for me to be around her, because I feel like Im getting to see his mom through her. We had dinner with Uncle Dave, Dedo, and Uncle Tom tonight since its been too long since we have seen them. I know Matt loved every minute of it. :)

 Any night kid free makes us really happy!!! We love them to pieces but we love "our" time just as much.

Sibling love <3

The highlight of the night was the paper ball fight at the table! Ha...we know how to have fun!

Decorating and bow party

Decorating and Bow party!!

 I am so excited! I got all these bows for $18.00! That is a great deal..I'm trying to get my bows back in order before school starts and now that my little princess MC is getting hair it's a must!

My little cutie modeling

Matching bows

I went tonight to help a friend decorate her house...I absolutley love to decorate! I didn't take pictures..but maybe I will post some soon. It turned out so cute...once we add a few more touches it will be perfect. I am seriously thinking about starting to help people with decorating on the side. Mostly bc I'm in "My" favorite place while doing it. :)

My children

 Lilly

Lilly is our oldest and wears that cap pretty well. She is very smart and is our more serious child. She loves helping me take care of Cannon and Merrie Clayton. She and Maggie are 11 months apart and that is SO much fun for them. They love sharing a room, playing together, and well just being together. Matt and I are going to have our hands full when they are teenagers!



 Maggie

Maggie is my burst of sunshine. She has the personality of walking in a room and making it light up. She is very smart, but loves to have fun. Spending a day with Maggie usually consist of 10 outfit changes, dancing, singing, or posing. She is truely a girly girl.

 Cannon

This is my sweet boy. Cannon is the warmest, sweetest, most loving boy. All of this can be seen once he warms up to you. He has the personality of being reserved until he is around you for a while and gets to know you. He is pure boy, and can entertain himself for hours with his cars.

Merrie Clayton

All I can say is watch out world! This child looks just like her daddy, but acts just like her mama. She is the funniest child, and loves to be on the go. She has the personality to turn any bad day to the best day. All I have to do is look at her and she makes me smile. 

I love these babies so much! I thank God everyday for loaning them to me, and pray everyday that I will be the mom they deserve.

Learning to be frugile

So this week I have really surprised myself. I have walked away from two really great opportunities to spend money. We leave for our family vacation in a little over two weeks, and I'm trying not to spend any extra money. I have found my new favorite store in the world. Its in Hernando and it has everything I love. Im really into distressed furniture pieces. And I have the perfect bench picked out for my kitchen table. The other was tonight at the pampered chef party I went to. It was so much fun! I love getting together with friends, and the opportunity to meet new people. The food was awesome and the consultant was great. The hostess was my sister in law and she always has fun wherever she goes. I love hanging out with her because she cracks me up and we always laugh.

I plan on hosting a party of my own and will hopefully get some of the really great things that I saw tonight. I love the fact that I'm learning self control bc it's definitely something my teachers growing up said I lacked. :)

My new blog!

Welcome to my blog! I have wanted to do this forever and plan on doing it as often as possible to keep up with our busy lives. I have really been slacking in the scrap book department and think that this will be an easier way for me to keep up with everything. :) I really wish our last name started with a "K" bc my title would be so much cuter...but oh well you get the idea.

Sunday Funday

Today started with an early morning walk for me. As I was walking home I saw some wild flowers growing out of the sidewalk and instantly thought of a country song. I can't remember the name but it talks about God and how we know he's real...how else could something so beautiful happen? So of course I picked them and they are in a vase on my counter, I then rushed home to get me and MC ready for church, I love when my husband is off work and can go with us, but the weeks he works I have started volunteering for the nursery and I love it!

After church we went to have lunch at a Mexican resteraunt that's my mother in laws fav. I love spending time with Matt's family. They are so much fun to be around. Once home MC and I both took a nap...Can I get a heck yea?!? I love it when naps are in my day, The best part of my day was when my other two kiddos got home from the river. It is amazing how much your life feels complete when all your babies are with you, Some people may not get this but I bet some do. We were driving down the road with all the windows down and music up (our favorite thing to do) and I took in that moment, I love the feeling I get when looking back and seeing my kids truely happy, and I thank the Lord all the time for them.

We drove over and picked up my neice and nephew and went to Gracie Bleu...an awesome yogurt shop with tons of toppings, Such a great way to end the weekend. I am very excited about the week to come and will post about it soon!
