Nails

A simple moment.

One that doesn't take very long.

But one that means a lot.

Especially to a ten year old girl.

A moment together.

Painting fingernails.

Memories.  Even though they seem simple and mundane mean so much.

Make them and Embrace them.

Candyland

Action had basketball practice last night.
Hubby is the coach.
And Sassy decided she would go with to  provide expertise ;)

So, it was just Smiley and I hangin' out.

We turned on American Idol and listened to some auditions (preparing for the big American Idol League... there is still time to join in and play ~ click here for more info).

But the best part, was breaking out the game Candyland.

Good counting and color fun!

And then, after someone won 2 games fair and square, she got a little goofy.....

The Theatre

As a Christmas presents for Sassy and Action, I gave them tickets to go see a children's production at our downtown Children's Theatre.  The plays there are always fabulous.

Sassy had been there before, but it was Action's first time.  Actually it was the first play he'd ever seen.  And, he wasn't so sure it was anything he was interested in.

The three of us went out for dinner, then drove downtown to the Theatre.  Sassy loved the way it looked from the outside and snapped a picture.

Then we took a few of us inside.

The kids both had a great time.  And Action ended up being pretty happy with his gift!  

Embrace the Camera

Just the 4 of us,

Enjoying one of our last weekday lunches together before school starts next week.

(and yep, I'm still sweaty and in my workout clothes, fresh from a great run with a friend) 

A trip

We tried to go last year (you can read about that here)

This year we actually made it!

Here's our trip in pictures:

Sunset from ABOVE the clouds

What a beautiful evening flight

Hello Ben and Hines ☺

And yes, I COULD watch Sepulveda all day ~ even tying his shoe...sigh........

(Yes you too Troy, you just didn't come close enough for me to get a decent picture)

AND...

The

Steelers won!!!!

35-3

Hubby and I had a fabulous time ~ just the two of us!

I'm shutting down until next week, so I hope you all have a safe, and amazing Thanksgiving holiday!

Be Blessed!!!

More Vacation

So I gave you a glimpse of my view from our family vacation, but here is a better idea of what took place.

We rented a cabin on a 10,000 acre lake for a week.
We put the technology away.

Instead there was:

~ Tubing ~

~ Playing and Laughing ~

Fishing ~

But most importantly, we spent time together.
