Will's Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Hubbercup! For Will's birthday he and I went on a date and we played golf, which was my first time, ate at Iggy's Sports Grill, ate Cold Stone ice cream, and rented movies. We also celebrated with Will's side of the family at the Mayan restaurant for dinner and we played miniature golf afterwards. With my side of the family we had a dinner with homemade Cafe Rio pork salads and burritos. Then, Will's mom came up and made him a yummy dinner with this amazing oatmeal cake and gave him a Star Wars movie. Will also got golf shoes for his birthday. If you can't tell, Will loves to golf and eat mexican food!

Labor Day

For Labor Day we went to Thanksgiving Point barn and Alyssa had a blast! I just noticed I didn't get any pictures of Nicole, but it's probably because she was hot and fussy! Also, notice in the last picture Will is ready to grab Alyssa in case the pony bit her, since there was a sign on the gate that read, "I bite."

Cute Chairs

Isn't this the cutest pink chair?! I found it online and it is usually in Alyssa's room, but the girls wanted to sit in it to watch a movie. The cute rocking chair Alyssa is sitting in was one I grew up with.

I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home

These pictures don't really do justice to how the girls feel when daddy comes home. Every day they both run to him, snuggle, play, and wrestle. These girls are so lucky to have Will for a dad.

Darling Girls

I love that Alyssa and Nicole are playing together more and despite that they have their little fights, they have times when they are completely sweet with each other.

Alyssa Potty Training

Alyssa is pretty much potty trained as of a couple weeks a go. We borrowed our friend's "Potty Power" movie and that helped inspire her, but mostly I think she just wanted to wear princess underwear. At the beginning she used to sit for a while and read. Now I just need her to go potty in public toilets! Still, wait to go Alyssa!

August- Farewell to Catherine & Weston

We had a goodbye BBQ at Vivian Park for Catherine and Weston, who are now living in Virginia. Miss you guys!
