Teeny Tiny Pony

Just long enough for a teeny tiny ponytail. Hey we will take what we can get around here. 

Date Night

Carson filled up his sticker chart again and, of course, picked a date with Dad for his prize. Now usually we try to have the kids fill up their charts around the same time so they can go together since they like to go together and no one wants to be the one left behind but there was no way that was happening this time around. Poor Camilla has been in more of a lose a sticker phase than earn one but don't worry she is getting closer now. So Aaron picked up Carson from his half day (Friday) of school and took him out and Millie girl, who was home with me, was none the wiser. When Carson got home he said, I went somewhere but I can't tell you anything about it. Its a secret. He was just about to explode he wanted to tell me about it so bad. He finally whispered in my ear about it but told me I could not tell Millie. :)

Aaron took him to the gym to play basketball and go swimming. 

Then on the way home it was corn dogs and milk shakes. 

Life is good. 

How she rolls

This is pretty much how Camilla is dressed every day, all day lately. Elsa dress (it has to be washed daily), dress shoes (she likes to wear one of each princess on each foot), tiara (because who doesn't need a tiara), and her new pink back pack (filled with an assortment of her favorites). 

Such a diva. 

Food Prep

This is what your sink will look like after doing a few hours of food prep for a week. 

Eating good sure is a lot of work. 

Arkansas

After our quick trip to Arlington we went to Arkansas to spend time with Aaron's family and to see his parents who just returned from their 18 month mission in Russia. When they left Camilla didn't talk, Carson wasn't potty trained and Brooke was inside my belly. We had changed so much since they last saw us! We were lucky enough to be there for their homecoming talks in church and to listen to a slideshow about their mission. 

We had a fabulous trip. running around, sleeping little and hardly seeing our kiddos as they were busy playing with their cousins. 

Aaron took the big kids to a trampoline park. I'm pretty sure they were all completely worn out by the end. Aaron told me he could barely make it up the stairs. 

Aaron the big kids made a trip to Waffle House. Parker ate both of these. 

Lots of Brooke holding went on this trip. Lots. Pretty sure this girl doesn't know how to not be held anymore. 

Camilla and Julia giving us the the pouty face Camilla is so famous for. 

And just like that our trip was over. We drove back in rain the whole way and happily climbed into our own beds and slept until 8 the next morning. It was a busy trip! 

New Years Eve

We started off our New Years Eve with a trip to Purple Cow. A must eat while we are in Arkansas. Plus it is Cole's birthday so it was a birthday lunch as well. 

Camilla loved a purple milk shake. 

Then everyone came over to Aaron's parents' house to have lettuce wraps and play before most people left for a party at their church. We stayed behind and played with the kids. We told them they could stay up as long as they could make it. Carson read Dr. Seuss with Grandma for a long time. 

Then poor C man started to fade away. He made it until about 10 PM. Poor guy was exhausted. 

Little Millie Moo made it all the way until 2015 thanks to a late 4-6 PM nap. She rung in the New Year with us and then we all went to bed together. It was a fun night and I love starting a New Year with my favorites. 

Wishing for a big sister

We've always known that Camilla would love a big sister, she loves playing with her friends and all her cousins in Arlington. Well this was confirmed again even more for us after our time spent in Arkansas with all her cousins. From the moment we got there she was spending every moment chasing one of her older cousins around, playing with them and loving having so many girls to play with. 

About five minutes after we got to Joshua and Amanda's house.

She was so in love with Ana Grace. 

Matching princess gowns.  

Playing with all the girls, listening to music and dancing. All things Camilla hates. :) 

Taking baths together. Poor Brooke wanted in so bad. 

Playing house together. Building beds together. Playing dolls together. 

Watching shows together. 

She was in heaven.
