SEVEN

SEVEN
Connor At golf practice. he has been going strong for over 2 years
This cracks me up, we were so tired and it was like 7pm while we were out doing a fire in the pit. We looked totally messed up.

With a rough little couple of days, My cute hubby bought me a dozen roses. He put them in my car while I was at a Cub Scout meeting and they were in my steering wheel. He is cuter than cute !


We can get our fire pit on again. We finally got a new one, since our other one was busted by the huge water slide that blew over and cracked the other one.. Fire pits here we go... All winter long...


We are decorated for Christmas. Inside and out.



The kids tree. I call it the UgLY tree. If you saw you would know what I am talking about!

The Pretty tree.

This is the SEVEN Good things in my week of my busy Household. I love all the crazy things that come up and I especially love, Random!
