Winter wonderland

Beautiful day up north, Flagstaff. Cadriel family welcoming you December beautiful place one day we will own a vacation home up there. . 

Movie night

At the kids school watched polar express and then Santa paid a visit kids were having a good time with all their friends and junk food. Another successful movie night the school was able to raise a decent amount of money for the next get together. GO SCORPIONS! 

Busy, busy. .

The holidays are coming around quickly I've been so busy with bubba's birthday party and getting our thanksgiving and Christmas plans in place. . I've got a little time to myself this evening to update my blog and I'll be posting pictures shortly of the camping party we had. Amazing idea and not all that expensive the kids had so much fun their planning another sleep over at our house in 2 weeks that reminds me another event I need to get ready for. Well I'm cutting it short that's it for now;) 

Cadriel's Christmas cards. .

Its that time of the year to get the Christmas cards together and sent out to our loved ones here are a few photos of the kids that will be on our card. . 

Photos were taken outside our home by me;) 

Happy Holidays!

DIY Fall/Thanksgiving

I made a wreath and a center piece for the dinner table completely inexpensive found a few things at the craft store and dollar tree on clearance all under 10$. I love this time of the year the smell of cinnamon pine cones and holiday music brings on the holiday cheer. We also have a birthday next weekend, Sunday Bubba will be turning 9, the Cadriel family will be celebrating at a place of his choice. This year holidays and birthdays will be a bit different building tradition with the kids for every year coming.

Here are a few photos of the door wreath and the center piece. 

Happy Holidays;)

Health & Exercise

I am on day 2 of my Ab and Squats challenge. I've cut out all sweet drinks. I'm still eating but keeping track of my calorie intake. I feel a bit sore sense I'm completely out of shape but I will not stop. My goal is to loose 50 lbs by April 2014. Being able to have my husband help me with encouraging compliments has pushed me more and more to my goal in shedding off weight. I just want to be fit and healthy for my family and myself;) I will be updating often about my weight loss challenge wish me luck. 

Simply ME

Anyone that knows me well knows I love pictures just about anything i talk about there will be a picture I am constantly capturing every moment and its not even set up, no background, no dress up, all random. The quality of my pictures have improved over the years and I plan to continue taking pictures for as long as I live. Our children's, children will have my pictures/memories. As I would say. . .

Woohoo to Boohoo

Well Saturday night the husband and I had intentions on relaxing and getting some fresh air out in the backyard. I made the kiddos some delicious cupcakes Miles made his famous burgers and then set up a fire out in the backyard to have a hot coco and melt marshmallows kind of night. Okay so getting to the point how our night turned into boohoo the kids were playing freeze tag and the famous zombie tag "aunt virgie invented" there was a piece of wood with a few nails sticking out of it as Miles was picking up the wood Anniah happened to step on the one with the nails and OUCH there went the scream of coarse as parents we got to her quick sure enough Anniah had a few punctures and she was bleeding everywhere, rushed her to the children's hospital. We didn't have to wait very long she was seen in a timely manner bandaged up and sent home she was perfectly fine thank god.

Well after the incident and being freaked out Miles and I sat by the fire to release some tension we had a drink and also lit some sparklers and talked just about anything from doubts, worries, to dreams and hopes wonderful feeling being married to someone that wants just about everything you ever dreamed of and to know that everything he does is for me, for us. I love you Miles and our beautiful babies;) 

  

DIY Love cups. .

I made these coffee cups for the husband and I, most likely mine will have orange juice or cappuccino;) definitely easy to make 2 plain white cups from the dollar store and a red and black permanent marker draw and write what ever you like. I feel like Mr Right & Mrs always Right fits us we are always in a debate and I think i am "always" right haha Besides we are both Taurus's

Arizona State Fair Grounds

It's that time of the year again, the fair is in town! Billy Currington is performing for the second year now and of coarse as fans we went. Just Miles and I no kids, no worries enjoyed our selves very much we needed it. Thanks to the mother in law (grandma) for watching all 6 kiddos. This year we got to taste the famous fried twinkie, delicious! Don't forget about the lemonade, amazing! I have to say the fair is a lot more calmer and family oriented then it was a few years ago we may visit again with the kids before it leaves.
