Moving Week-Kids make things fun/slowwwwwer

August 1, 2011

Life has been a little busy lately! 
Moving is a bit more slow when you have an almost
 3 yr old unpacking the boxes you just packed..
Luckily we’ve had some great friends helping move us to our new place!
almost done. You would think I would be a lot better at this since it’s our 4th move!..
but…..nope. haha.
Here’s my little packing assistant..she insisted on wearing her princess dress. 
and the bubble wrap became a shawl.
We’ve taken packing/moving 
breaks to party though! ;) 
Saturday was a princess baseball party for a brother sister party. 
It was beyonddd cute. I can’t wait to share some of those photos.. 
My friend sewed each of the little princesses their own tutus..even sienna got a mini one! 
The mom created this whole princess dress up play area complete with
a runway that sophia was really enjoying. hehe.
Sunday we had a Beach Bash Birthday Party for one of her friends…and I at least snapped some shots on my phone.. it was soooo cute! How amazing are those beach themed cupcakes? I love the teddy grahms sun bathing. it’s too funny. Sophie loved the bucket full of goodies! even though we ate the fruit snacks before she saw them 
(we were hungry movers! hehe.)
Enjoying the Pool and Park still
Trying to beat this heat..and keep them busy with 
an empty old house and boxes everywhere in our new house!




Hope you’ve had a great weekend..
I’ll be back soon..promise! ;)
We should be “settled in” by thursday.

**Please keep my grandfather in your prayers. He had an accident and has been in intensive care at the hospital. He was run over by both wheels of their suburban. It’s a miracle how well he is doing considering how horrible an accident he had. He is suffering much but he is such a faithful amazing man..and so strong! It’s a running joke with how tough he is.. he is almost 89 years old..and yet he does so much himself..I remember when he was on the roof raking the leaves out of the gutters! He’s incredible. And it’s so hard to picture him in the hospital. I believe in the power of prayer and sacrifice! It is so hard seeing ones you love suffering..especially talking with my mom on the phone who is sad but being so strong. Please join me in praying for them today and offering up any inconvenience. He is doing better but has a long way of recovery. I miss them and hope to visit soon. But until then I’m just joining my family in prayers. I prayed a rosary for the first time in forever. My mom told me that my grandmother was whispering in his ear over and over Jesus I trust in you, and it made both my grandaddy and herself feel peace and be calm. How beautiful. Please pray for both of them during this hard time.
from my wedding..how cute are they?! (that’s my little brother in the middle.)
from my sisters..
