InstaFriday–It’s been a while

It’s been awhile since I’ve linked up with Life Rearranged’s InstaFriday. I just love love love to document my phone pictures.

Don’t you love your phone pix too?

Sam's Club Christmas

I can’t believe Christmas is here! These are pix from Sam’s Club (my favorite store). Cora was miffed we couldn’t buy the giant soldier.

Today I’m taking Cy in for six pages of blood tests. (Remember his sores and our hospital stay.) He’s had a crazy sore/growth on his tongue since June. It’s gross. We’ve been to loads of Drs and are hoping this one can diagnose it. If you know of anything it could be (you know, a friend of a friend story), please share. That would help a lot!

My children are growing up. Are yours? What’s that about???

It sure is bittersweet.

(pix; 1-Stoked Eli can get our drinks when we go out because I’m THAT lazy. He may be wearing a prototype for something in the works here at Eli’s Lids!!! 2-Tess at 2 months. 3-Cora painting her own nails… in the car… while we wait for Eli to get out of school. 4-Cora told us she wants a “real life pony” for Christmas. HA!!!!)

Star Wars: Where science meets imaginationStar Wars: Where science meets imaginationStar Wars: Where science meets imagination

The Star Wars exhibit at the Discovery Science Center is RAD. If you like star wars it’s worth going. I think Hot Hubby and I might go on a date night to see all the stuff we couldn’t take in with kiddos.

Mindy Gledhill

I went to the Queen Bee market with my friends Kyla and Jaime. Afterward was a Mindy Gledhill concert. Her voice is beautiful. I regret not getting her Christmas CD while I was there. She has 3 sons… how lame would it be if I sent her some Lids?

How much to you love her voice!!?!?

December means Advent Dinner and Hot Hubby’s family company Christmas party! (Just as fun as last time)

Then the actual formal company party that night.

Yes, you see bumper cars and I’m jumping on bubble wrap.

I can’t even begin to tell you how awesome it is to jump and pop bubble wrap. It’s everything you have dreamed of and more!! (see pix from last time here). I think it would be really fun to do at a kiddo birthday party!

I’ve started walking for exercise (I’m a whale).

Mostly to the post office to drop off orders. Just a bit more time left on our sale!!

Happy Weekend!!

    Cutest family ever, I think! KN – you amaze me – how do you do all those things with a million people in tow? All my camera pictures are from our house 🙂 HA! You should definitely send Mindy some lids and I’m really, REALLY excited about the new EL prototype! Still working on your hook-up with you-know-who….I’m not giving up!

      You are too kind!! I’m amazed at my energy… not being pregnant is pretty cool. When do we find out if you will even out the numbers in your fam or if lil’ V will be the only boy???
      I haven’t given up!! So excited about our growth!!

      Thanks Stephanie! Loved seeing you at the par-tay!

      We have to go back this Friday and the next to get more blood drawn. They can only take 5 viles at time because of his size. It’s so sad. I’ll let you know what we find out!

    I got the lids today! Thank you SOOO much Kara for the blue one too. It’ll look great on Garrett 🙂 I promise I’ll send you pics of them in the lids after they get them in their stockings on Christmas. I’m going to put a cute flower pin on Reese’s purple lid. She’ll love it!
    Thank you again! xo
