Gotta catch up!!

So....here's what I've been up to the last couple of months:

New Slippers. Finally. 

As you can see, this was a much needed wardrobe update. I wore the old ones every single day in Ecuador on the way to shift. It's funny how you don't realize how terrible something looks until you see a brand new version.
Dang. Those were BEAT UP. 

Books books books books BOOKS
I needed 10 children's book titles to read for my Children's Literature class. My Mama got really excited when I told her, and we ended up with this pile of about 30 titles. I have been checking out books from her every week. When I'm done, we discuss the plots, characters, and lessons over the phone. Nerdy? Maybe. 

Like Mother, Like Daughter.
Turns out I'm passionate about Children's Literature too. Who knew?


Happy Birthday Llama!


We did a great wrapping job. Crafty. 

Kind of blurry...but it was cute. I promise. 

Elizabeth joined us for the opening of presents. 

Bessie's adorable home-made gift for Mama. Someday I hope to be as clever as her.
This was an adorable decoration for our family room. 

Mama's new yoga gear, compliments of Olivia and Natalie. It's ALL pink. 

Mama actually turned 20. 

Moving Day...again, with the books.

I figured out in the moving process that I have a ridiculous amount of books.
I don't even have time to read them.  :(

More books....I have a problem. But like I said, I'm becoming my Mother, so I guess it's not that surprising. 
Fro-Yo Trips

What we see here is one of the many Fro-Yo trips we've made. We may or may not be addicted. 
 Shopping at DI
Peri found quite a little treasure...

You can only find something like this at DI. 
 Natty Danced
On the way to Natty's State Drill Competition, I spilled cashews all over my purse and Dad's car.
Unfortunately I couldn't laugh because he was on a work phone call. That proved to be quite difficult.

Natalie and her drill teamers danced wonderfully, and the Chevaliers took 5th place at State!
Hitting the Books

Peri and I found that Borders is a wonderful place to study, mostly because of this hot chocolate.
Seriously though, I got SO much done. Studying at Border's has become a weekly tradition.

Tangled & Floating Lanterns

Peri has been set on making her very own floating lantern (inspired by Tangled...GREAT movie) since she saw the movie about a month ago. She even made blueprints.

This is the face I made the entire time she was trying.
I was slightly concerned about the outcome.
