These two girls of mine are growing up way too fast. It seems like just yesterday they were babies. Now, in less than 2 weeks, those little ones will be 6 and 4. Here is the lowdown, right now. Kyndall, almost 6: You are maturing more every day. You are my little tom-boy. Anything outside, and you are all about it. You are so excited about starting soccer and basketball.. Read More
This week has been wonderful–super relaxing, with lots of time spent with friends and family. I was going through my phone last night and found some things I just had to share. The first video in our rewind today is from last football season, fall 2011. And this second video is Kyndall’s music debut. She wrote this song all by herself and sat down to sing it to us about a..

As promised, here are a few shots of our Project Disney 2010 album. Photos aren’t that great, but oh well, you’ll get the idea. What I really love about this is being able to add in random memorabilia with the photos. And it’s so easy!! I did this entire album in about three hours. I DO still have journaling to add, and there were a few extra pictures that I.. Read More
How awesome are these photos? Would you like to know what they were taken with? AN IPHONE…. yep, you heard me right. An iphone. Taken underwater. With this case: A LifeProof case. They run about $80 and are made for underwater (and everything else for that matter!). This will most definitely be the next case I purchase for my phone!!
After another fun-filled day at the pool, soaking up the sun, the girls and I came home to sort money. Justin has this gallon sized jug that he drops his change into each day, and lately, it’s overflowing. So we divided all the money out until it looked like this: And then we all made bets on how much all that change would add up to be. The predictions go something.. Read More
Last night, Justin and I went to a wedding in Florence (the first of three that we will be attending this summer….guess it’s wedding season for our friends!). One of my sweet friends from high school got married, and it was so much fun seeing several of the people that I graduated with. Here we are all decked out and ready to go: Of course, the girls had to pose.. Read More
Today was a craft day at the West house. The littles painted suncatchers: And I came VERY close to finishing our Project Disney 2010 album. Why “Project” Disney, you ask? Well, my dear blog reader, I’ll tell you. Becky Higgins is a great, famous person in the world of scrapbooking and she developed the “Project Life” method of scrapbooking. In a sense, it’s a fancy photo album. She has designed.. Read More
The past few nights, we have been working on a new bedtime routine for the girls. I have always curled up in bed with them until they fell asleep, which sometimes could take a full hour. Well now, we read a book, say our prayers, and then I tuck them into bed and leave. Things went pretty well the first few nights, but about three nights ago, K started getting very.. Read More
A couple of weeks ago, I was able to score some indoor rock climbing tickets for super cheap. Kyndall always loves the rock walls at the beach, so I thought this would be right up her alley. Libby isn’t into the adventure junkie stuff, so she decided to hang with my mom for the day. After dropping Libby off with Gra-Gra, we headed out. And this is how Kyndall.. Read More
After one last day of VBS fun, and then a little pool time, I joined some friends at a jewelry party. The jewelry was Initial Outfitters. They have tons of gorgeous stuff. Like this amazing bangle bracelet: And these super cute charm necklaces: If you haven’t heard of them before, check them out at www.initialoutfitters.com. (I, unfortunately, am not connected to this company in any way and am not.. Read More
