Driving Miss Harper

This girl is with me and my camera 24-7 at Fred Meyer these days so she's getting a lot of pictures taken of her.
Plus, she's pretty dang cute. Oh, and she LOVES the car cart; more on that to come...

Dancing in September

This September has been an adjustment to say the least! I feel as if these four weeks have been a blur of travel, car pools, school, hospital visits (my MIL had major neck surgery), grocery shopping, soccer, and making dinner.
Repeat.
To break it up I've added in a glass or two of wine, dance parties with my girls, and maybe a pinch of painting. OK a lot of painting; more on that later.
I make for Arizona tonight for a girl's trip that I planned about 6 months back. Before I could foresee the busyness of my current life. I am not packed, there's no laundry done, and I look like fright night BUT despite this I couldn't be more excited to see my friends and some sun. I'll post pictures and stories upon my return, but to tide you over since I've been a poor blogger as of late; here are some random pictures I've taken throughout this week:

Fight Gone Bad

This was a crossfit event Ty and I participated in this past Saturday, most of the time I don't post anything about crossfit, but this was hard and frankly I want recognition for it...
;)
In most of the pictures taken of Ty at crossfit, he looks determined and... scary. I on the other hand, almost always look either scared or...in pain. Which I would have to say are both the absolute truth. Here's to two pictures where I don't look either and Ty still looks...shall we say: prepared. And sort of scary...

Feeling...

Humbled and thankful for God's gift of children tonight...

It's Time...

Ok, we REALLY need to get a dog now. At Henry's birthday party on Sat; Pearson literally pretended to BE a dog for about 20 minutes. She asked me to throw the ball, ran to get it, put it IN her mouth and brought it back.
And yes, there were witnesses to this...

And some more cuteness...

Some more...

H's party was OR Ducks themed; Ty wore a Huskie's shirt in protest.
P.s: Can you get OVER Henry's hair? To die...

Let There Be Light

My second attempt at lamps...

I like these more; they don't match and are a cool grey gloss. I got each of them for under three dollars at Goodwill. I love that place! One person's junk is another's treasure.

Mr. Mom

This summer and fall has been the season of Mr. Mom in our family. For some reason August and September was booked with trips, weddings, memorials, you name it. So Ty has been doing a STELLAR job with the girls by himself. I have come home to a decently clean house (notice I didn't state CLEAN for a fact) and daddy's girls who are more than well taken care of. My mom has wanted to nominate him for dad of the year for taking them to the botanical gardens, which DID produce my favorite pictures we have of Pearson. They REALLY capture the nature of who she is. Ty, here's just a little shout out to you because you are officially awesome...
