Don't you just hate it when.....

You lose your keys?!?

I am always losing my keys and when I do I always get so mad at myself. I feel like since I am an adult and I am the one in charge I shouldn't be the one forgetting things. I always seem to lose them when I am in a hurry and I almost always start crying every time to vent my frustration. The sad thing is, even though I lose them A LOT, I still haven't gone and got a spare key. You would think I would learn from my mistakes, but I guess I have a hard head.

Anyone else out there forget things like me???

Becoming like a Child

Tonight, we were coming out the door and Ellyse kept her hand in the door and I noticed at the last second so I tried to yell and let her know but it was too late. She cried for a while and after she started to calm down I said sorry for her not hearing me in time. She quietly said back "It's alright. I know that it was an accident" It was so cute and it brought a smile to my face. I wish it was just as easy for me to forgive people in my life. Kids can be the best examples and I learn alot from them.

Creepy in more than just one way...

We took the girls tonight to Halloween Town. I am still wondering why we went. I remember taking them last year and it was alright. I remember the workers being a little sketchy though.

So first off, There was still very strange people working the rides and also the rides were a total rip off. When we were leaving, Abby picked out a pumpkin but when it was going to cost $26 to get I about choked. I guess I shouldn't have been shocked. I know that Ellyse had fun but I don't think we will return next year.

Best friends

Lately, Ellyse and Lily have become the best of friends. This is what I was picturing when I was pregnant with Lily. It makes me happy when I see the pair of them playing so well together. I know like everyone, they have a bad day here and there, but most of the time they have lots of fun together. Ellyse is becoming a very sweet big sister. She has become good at sharing and she likes to sing songs to Lily whenever she is sad. It is so nice when they can entertain each other and I can actually get things done around the house.

Our Cabin Weekend

We decided to head to the cabin this past weekend. We expected the weather to be cooler so we planned accordingly. When we woke up Saturday morning it was snowing. We wanted to go for a ride on the ranger so we bundled up the best we could and headed out. 5 minutes into the ride, the wind was blowing and Lily was screaming because she was so cold. It took a good 20 minutes back at the cabin to get her to calm back down. Bryan and I took one more ride without the kids and drove around for a bit. It was so pretty but really really cold. Overall it was a fun, quick and cold trip to the cabin.

Gilcrease Orchard

I took the girls last week to go pick out their own pumpkins and we really had a fun time. I took several pictures but this picture caught my eye. I think Lily is wondering why her pumpkin is so much smaller than Ellyse's.

Motivation

Whenever I get back from Canada I always get motivated to be a better person.

Since living in Vegas, I seem to get caught up with the worldly things, such as, wanting new and better things. It seems to be so easy to forget what we really should be worried about, and what to focus on.

When I go home, I notice that most people are very happy and content with the things they have and they aren't always the newest and best. So I come home focusing on what is truly the most important: Spending time with family, living within your means, being content with what you have.

I have made sure the house is clean before going to bed, had dinner ready and taken the girls to do some fun things. I feel happier already and hope I can continue doing my best.
