Ice Cream Cones!

A while ago, we went to Sonic and got some ice cream cones for a Family Home Evening treat. Chris and I are pretty sure that this was Christine's FIRST cone EVER! She got so messy and sticky and she loved every bite. It was really fun watching her because she was so happy! I love it how the simplest things in life can make a child so HAPPY! Kids are great that way. Anyways, these pictures make me smile, I hope they make you smile too! So go grab yourself a cone and enjoy!

"Cousin Rhett is so Tiny"

On September 21st my brother, Aaron, and his beautiful wife, Maralyn had their first child. They named him Rhett Spencer Farrelly. We all just instantly fell in love with him. My kids, unfortunately, were sick when he was born and remained sick for about a week after, so they didn't get to meet him until recently. I don't know what Christine thinks, but Lexi LOVES this little guy! She talks about him all the time, and when she sees him she always says, "Mom, he is so tiny!" I am so excited that my kids have a Farrelly cousin now!He is a great addition to the family.

Proud Daddy. Chris and I were lucky enough to be there in the hospital when he was born. 

In love!

Lexi's California Adventures with Grandma and Grandpa Farrelly

About a month ago, my parents took Alexis to California so that Chris and I could move into our new apartment with one less distraction. Although I was bummed Lexi got to go, and I had to stay and move in, we did accomplish a lot more than we would have AND Lexi had so much fun bonding with her grandparents and her extended California family. Take a look at their adventures!

Chris's First Day at his Externship

Since I blogged about Lexi's first day of school, I thought, what the heck... I'll blog about Chris's first day at his externship. Right now he is loving it and his "bosses" are being super cool to him. Just the other day, he told me he is now 100 percent sure that he picked the right field to work in. That statement made me so happy! With now only 2 more months left of the semester, I can almost say I am married to a graduated Law student! yahoo!

Chicago Trip

Before leaving MI, the Glidewells came and treated us with a trip to Chicago. It was a very short trip, but it was so much fun! Just look at the pictures to see what I am talking about:

Christine ate her birthday cupcake at an Amish restaurant in Indiana

She loved the sweet treat!

The guys at the top of Sear's tower. If you look down at their feet, they are standing on glass, so they literally were suspended in the air!

Christine celebrated her 1st birthday in Chicago. This was a present from Grandma Glidewell. She loves it!

This was the name of the pizza restaurant, I was in love!

In front of the Shedd Aquarium. This was Lexi's 5 dollar sucker that lasted for three days!

Outside the shedd aquarium, what a view!

This was where we bought Christine's birthday cupcake: The Hershey Store in downtown Chicago!

 

The Beginning of School...Preschool!

On August 15, Lexi went to her first day of preschool! She will be going 2 days a week, 2 1/2 hours each day. I am so excited for her to have this opportunity!

3 Guys and a Truck

Aaron (my brother) and Austin (Chris's brother) flew up to MI last week so that they could help Chris drive the Uhaul/trailer back to AZ. They have just arrived home tonight, and they seemed to have a blast, even though they are all ridiculously tired! It took them 5 days to get here, because they stopped at some fun sights along the way. Below are the pictures of their adventures.
