Mimi Saves Mama

Matt went on his annual mancation with his best friends from growing up and so Matt's mom was kind enough to come in town and help me. Bless her because it would have been a fete to go it alone for 5 days. The girls were being almost 2 year olds for a lot of time and they both cut a tooth while she was here but overall it was a good time.

Mimi makes the best cookies and the girls got to enjoy one

We played with our dolls aunt Jan gave us!

Mimi and I took the girls for their first haircut and well..... Let's just say we were happy it was quick!

Thank you so much for the help and we can't wait for thanksgiving!

Kentucky Trip 2015

(Better late than never)

We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa McGowan over the 4th of July, I know Matt was so excited to show his little girls the lake house he grew up going to and loves so much still to this day. We had an okay travel day there one couple hour delay due to weather but we survived and the girls didn't get put on the no fly list so we will call it a win. A big thank you to Grandma (Judy) for buying and supplying everything we needed to have fun so we didn't have to airfreight our whole house to Kentucky!

Lawnmower rides were a big hit

The trip home was.....it was 2 plane rides with toddlers...feel like I don't have to give more explanation than that if you have ever done it you know but again we survived and decided we will hold off on flying until these girls are safely addicted to ipads.
