Ocean! G-Ram! Yay!

Okay. We are back. We have been back for a week, but for serious- catching up is super crazy craze. The amount of laundry and stuffs is off the chain.

But anyway- it was hard for me to say goodbye to the ocean and my G. Oh Ocean! Oh G! How I love thee! And when I say ocean, I mean a really big body of water with waves and beach. So Lake Michigan would count. And I put that in the mix because again I want to point out that NOTHING like this exists here in Kansas. But I would say that the actual ocean is still the bestest in the land. I always feel such peace and clarity when I am at the ocean. So when I could get my ocean fix kinda of regularly, or at least the option was there. So until next time...

But like I said- not only the ocean was seen and enjoyed, most importantly we got to see my G-ram and Ron. We had a blast! I love my G. She had such a big influence on me since I grew up near her. I am so lucky that I did grow up with her. One night we looked through some journals of my Bob, and he wrote little diddy's about the day. Pretty much each week we saw them at least once, often multiple times. So special. I also wish we still lived by them. I wish my girls could grow up by G. So I am so thankful that we are able to visit and Skype and all that good stuff. She's a pretty awesome gal.

After the visit with G and Ron we headed to Disney. I will write about that tomorrow. It involves so First World problems that is super silly- so ya know. It was all about the G and Ron, my kids and P, fam time and ocean time. At Disney we had some friend time too- so it was all worth it! 

Waverly Rockins

Just a couple of girls hanging out on the deck listening to the rockin waves, doing some serious people watching and enjoying the sea air! Love vacay!

The pic of the beach has the deck in it because i was far too lazy to stand up to shoot the pic. Vaaaaacaaation!!!

Ocean times

I literally need to get to the ocean at least once a year. The sound is the best in the world (maybe after my laughing kids now) but it is so soothing and amazing.

Whenever I am near an ocean I feel like I can think clearer and receive clarity about life things. Bridget was super excited and kept shrieking ocean! Ocean! This morning. Time to go walk the sandy beach and dip our toes in the water. Ah. So happy to be here.

Farm Times

Z Farm AKA Deanna Rose Farm, opened for the season, so we flocked there with some friends. Super fun. And this happened:

Just Bridget and a goat. Stare down? Does the goat want to munch Bridge? Does Bridge want a pet? All of the above? We my never know- but the picture is a favy. And you can see Bean in the back goatin' it up.

Other highlights included bottle feeding goats, general running aroundness, and ice cream! Farm times, farm times. (think fun times, fun times...no? yes? gitcha gotcha goo?) bonk.

Old Friendships

The best kind of friends are the ones that you feel like even though months, or perhaps years, have gone by and you haven't seen each other- and then you do, and it feels like no time has passed. (My English is not so good here but I choose not to care thank-you berry much (as strawberry shortcake would say))

So that's what happened last week when my friend Lindsey visited. She was here to see her fam, and stopped by. It was great, and I loved seeing her. I realized we did not get any pictures of ourselves, only our mini human creations. She met Nora when she was just a newborn, but I hadn't met her Mae yet and she my Bridget. They are only 2 months apart, so it was fun seeing them play (or in Bridget's case not share which resulted in a timeout that actually worked because she was pretty good after that) Childrens! Years apart! Friendships! So much crazy stuff- so glad it feels like old times. xoxo

Ya know how it is trying to get a picture of littles! At least they all sat for a few !

Oh bridge

So she got herself into some markers and a Dorothy costume- and the markers won. Spunky, silly, awesome. That's my Bridge.

Meghan, Kellyn and Dylan- HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!

MORE VISITORS!!!!!!!!!! we love having them :) Kellyn, Dylan and Meghan came to visit and it was off the chain! Well for reals it was super duper d. funder. I was like- woot- and they were like wooooooooot. and we were all like wooty wooty woot (I just drank a glass of wine- bare with me.) hahah- 

Anywho ha- We first started with going to Disney on Ice, hence the picture below of the girls. It was actually a Christmas present from Meghan, K and D, so I think they wanted to come start their visit when we got back from the show to make sure the fun continued. They came Easter weekend/Kellyn's birthday, so it was as festive affair.

Oldest cousin and youngest cousin- Kellyn and Bridge

Eggs! (too impatient to wait for the dye to be moved to the table)

Getting the baskets ready for the bunny.

Perhaps the bunny went a little egg-stravagant?

Bridge LOOOVED the candy! All. Day. Long.

At Miss Amanda's Fabulous easter egg party and hunt! Bridget's egg hunting strategy- to find an egg, open it, and eat its contents straight away.

Fam Pic.

Nora helping Bridget look for eggs. Nora's hunting strategy was to help the littles find eggs (she is very giving)

The whole fam pic!

Me and Miss Amanda trying to get it together and take a for real picture.

Super cousin Kellyn and Nora crafting it up Easter style. Because Easter Day can not be complete without a craft project, they always say.

Kellyn, Nora, Bridget and Dylan celebrate Kellyn's 15th birthday. We love you guys!!!!!!!!

Milkshake!

P made it for me tonight and it was yuuum! I tried dieting for a hot minute and my stomach got all whacky- again why I dont diet. So i ate pizza and a milkshake instead and said whatevys to dieting.

A perfectly lovely spring day

Last friday it was just my girlies, my bike and trailer and awesome weather. We rode, enjoyed the air, and stopped at a park. A perfect Friday morning!
