This is going back to RIGHT after the kiddos moved in, but it was a lot of fun!

We had a Club from Coachella Valley come up and perform at our Club for Family Night! We were able to take the kiddos and we had such a fun time!

I got Mr. Tease out on the dance floor and he was all smiles, as was I! As previously mentioned, they were really new to us, so this was such a fun night to experience with them!

Some Stuff in August ...

August was fun ... we did lots of stuff. I'm not going to get wordy and I'll try to let the pictures speak for themselves ... you're welcome!

Wiggler loves to pile us up with her animals ... it's pretty darn cute!

We LOVE Nate's new job! We get to go visit him frequently and the kids love running around, seeing the bears and ringing the very large bell that they have! 

Uh ... I might loves Nate's job more than he does ... and more than the kids do ... look at this adorable dino!! :)

I have a friend who has been using essential oils for the last year or so and every time she finds a new use for them, she posts about them on Instagram. I've been following her posts for a very long time and I got to the point where I just couldn't stand it any more and I got in touch with her! She sent me some samples, I am amazed by how well they work and we have been using oils ever since! I'll do another post on how amazingly they have changed our lives, but just let it be known that we are loving them!

A very messy day making cloud dough! We were ALL covered, as was the kitchen, and it was so much fun!

Riverside Park is one of our favorite places in the summer! It is absolutely gorgeous!!

As you can see, our lives pretty much revolve around these two kiddos right now, which we are totally fine with! :)

One Time I Went on a Boat

So this blog is SO ridiculously behind, but I'm going to do my best to get it caught up or at least up to date so that I can start the New Year fresh! We've been doing a lot of fun, awesome stuff and this is the only "journal" that I am currently keeping, so I'm trying to re-dedicate myself to it because life is just going to get busier and more memories will be being made!

So, lots of mini posts will be headed this way.

Back in August (sigh) we left the Club early and headed out on my co-workers boat at Galesville Reservoir. We had a boat donated to the Club that needed to be tested, so we took that one out as well. My job this year has been really, quite stressful. There has been a lot going on, mostly positive, some negative (not with me directly but it has had an effect on everyone) and it seemed like the summer was never going to end.

Being able to take an afternoon and spend on the lake with a few of my co-workers was just the fun and relaxation that I needed to be able to jump into the new school year and have some renewed energy!
