colorado wrap up

Of course we had to eat...

Do you think Beks likes her Red Robin? :)

I'm just thankful she kept her hands off Hunter's white t-shirt (he's to the left of her)

Here she is at Fargo's after filling up on Fargo's!

Abby has loved this clock since she was tiny.

She used to RUN to it every time it went off!!

Such a cutie pie.

Now, she's big enough to be Grandpa Daddy's helper!

It went by fast, but it was lots of fun.

We were happy to see everyone!

I also became {slightly} addicted to Rock Band.

Blisters & everything! :)

Sad, huh?!

Bloggy love,

can i get a cheese?

Now that's what I'm talking about...

cuties! :)

Video of the cute bonding session...

Bloggy love,

how much cousin fun can we handle?

It's never enough.

That's Abby's take anyway...

She loves her cousins.

The IL & CO ones.

She knows that all her cousins are AWESOME.

This little twosome is especially cute together...

Daddy & Beks...

see Daddy, she does tolerate you at times.

We have proof. :)

I just {heart} these kinds of photos.

It's like you want to torture yourself.

Let's get all the kids to sit still & smile at the same time.

Rational thought?

I think not.

Avery & Abby swinging!

{Oh, I'm sure Abby was loving every minute.

She & Parker have this special little connection...

they've been that way since she was tiny.

She loves her some cousin Parker!} :)

This is trouble...Gibby getting into the action! :)

Group picture taking...

The Video.

Bloggy love,

tea parties are the MOST fun

Okay, wait a minute...

COUSINS are the most fun! :)

Here is Beks getting better acquainted with Dylan.

In the picture right before this, Dylan wasn't quite sure what to make of this.

He put up with her novice piano skills quite well!

The Tea Party...

isn't it sweet.

Both the girlies are wearing the matching dresses I made.

I guess I'll just have to let Abby pick out all the fabric from now on.

Then maybe she won't inform me

that she only wants to wear cute clothes I make.

Cute=PINK.

Need I say more.

Blue-eyed Beauty...cousin Madelyn

My Blue-eyed Beauty! :)

Fancy hats are a must!! :)

Gibby has THE BEST dress up goodies!

Posing...

More posing...

this must be a Colorado thing? :)

Fancy table setting & goodies...

Of course there must be gifts for the little princesses...

Oh, the look of excitement!

This was just the start of our CO fun!

It IS hard to beat a Princess Tea Party though!

Bloggy love,

last of illinois

Well, not forever.

It's the last of Illinois until we return to the states from Korea.

I can't remember where these ribs came from...

they were delicious though, as were the sides!

It's a place that always has HUGE lines, but UB knew the call ahead trick.

All those years of school paid off!

UB will be feeding us that the next time.

It's tradition. :)

Mmmm...dis sho is good

Wow. Pawpaw is actually trying to smile.

Come on girls, this is momentous. Play along.

See, now after all the drama, he is smirking.

Moaning along with Abby...

And with that, we left.

Bloggy love,

it's a partee

Well, we're ditching Daddy for Hawaii!

Bummer that he won't be with us, but he's not a beach person anyway!

Before we left, we wanted to have a little party for the girls...

no costumes this year. :(

Cute outfits though, so that's got to be worth something!

Daddy had helpers with the pumpkin for about 2 minutes. :)

Anyhow, here is a video after the girls opened some gifts.

Beks LOVED hers. HA.

Happy Halloween!

{please pray for us on our trip...Beks is always a treat to travel with!}

Bloggy love,

just a taste

In no particular order...

because I'm tired.

And lame, really.

I now consider 11:20p.m. quite late to be staying up! :)

Our weekend at Mt. Sorak...

many more pictures to come.

And the stories.

Cute girly girl stories. Just for you!

Bloggy love,
