Bowling & Babies

The sure fire way to feel a little bit like a kid again. 

Even if you break your fingernails instead of breaking a score of 100.

We think babies can sense & talk to my baby. Weird? No, cute, right?

Jam in the Winter.

2 weeks ago my friend Sara and I took my sister & her daughter to the Winter Jam tour! It was awesome! A packed arena full of people there to worship God. And rock out to some pretty amazing artists!

At McDonalds, ready to fill our bellies & stand in the freezing cold to get our tickets!

Inhaling our food so our fingers don’t freeze off! It was so cold! Seriously, I thought I’d be good in a sweater and a coat. I was wrong! I think I lost feeling in my fingertips and kneecaps pretty quickly!

Our seats compared to where the stage was. We didn’t want to get floor seats because I knew I’d want to sit at some point. So we sat in the second row from the floor! Great seats if you ask me, or better yet the girls. They approved!

Cute little best friends!!

Little baby e’s second concert! He/she loved it, I’m sure! Mama, however realized she is definitely not young & spry anymore. I was tired and ready for bed about halfway through. Not that the concert wasn’t a blast, it was..I think my body was just done with the day.

My sweet friend Sara!

Jamie Grace & Toby Mac. I only snapped pictures of these two. But the concert consisted of Royal Taylor, RED, OBB, Newsong, Sidewalk Prohets, Matthew West, & speaker Nick Hall. All were amazing. Although, I was a little terrified during RED’s performance. Not my style, perhaps because I couldn’t understand a word they sang.

Love this!

The end was pretty great. I even woke myself up a bit to stand and cheer! It was a confetti mess!

And no trip is complete without a Starbucks breakfast!

Everything about our trip was great! We got there with plenty of time to guarantee we would get tickets. {tickets are only sold at the door, to make it more affordable for everyone, they’re only $10} Besides freezing & having tons of people cut us at the last second, we got great seats. The girls had a blast. Got some t-shirts & bracelets. I only had to spend $4 on a bottle of water inside the arena. We found our hotel quickly & it was very fancy! Ate lots of junk food at midnight! Made it back to NY safely! It was definitely a trip I hope the girls remember for a lifetime! And if you ever have the chance to visit Penn State, I recommend it! I wish we had a whole day to explore. It’s like it’s own little town!

Definitely go to Winter Jam if it comes to a city close to you!!! It’s so worth it! The speaker did an amazing job sharing the message of Christ & I recommend it for youth groups everywhere!

Long time, no talk?

Well hello there! Where have I been you ask? 

Went on a double date with my cuz & her man.

Made silly faces with my cutie patootie sisters.

Cheered these weirdo’s on in some intense volleyball games.

Kicked off a new season of GLOW!

Packed out the house & started 3 services at church!!

Got my hair done by 2  professional stylists.

Then I got a real hair cut. Complete with bangs.

Went to the pumpkin patch. $20 for a pumpkin?! People are crazy.

Painted pumpkins with my kindergartners!

Watched another GLOW girl get baptized!!

Had a fun amateur photo shoot of this little princess!

And this chick couldn’t be left out of the picture taking!

Celebrated my best friends birthday with the triple bypass burger.

Went to the Chris Tomlin concert.

Got to worship with my handsome hubby.

See. There’s perfectly good reasons why I haven’t been around much. Hopefully I can get a better routine down, but right now I’m home about 1 night a week & that’s just not time I spend blogging. I spend it eating junk and catching up on the DVR. Judge me, dare ya. Hope life’s fantastic in your parts of the world!

End of Summer Sleepover-GLOW Style

So many pictures & so many words could not begin to describe how precious these girls are to me. We had such a blast this summer & the sleepover was just as amazing. Of course there is a video of our night, if you’d rather watch that. Otherwise, get ready for picture overload..again.

We had snacks, hair feathers, movie, dance line, catch phrase, giggles, good talks, and just a great time! And because I already shared this on instagram and completely embarrassed myself & my bestie, what’s the hurt in sharing it with all of you…

Yep. We’re totally aware of just how cool we are. No need to shower us with words of awesomeness! And yes, I’m wearing a cape. Problem?

Oh and can we talk about the food for a minute? Breakfast was seriously delicious. I have the best volunteers, if I do say so myself!

On a side note: which do you prefer, healthy tropicana or burn your throat sunny d? That was a hot topic among us crazies that stayed all night & were probably running on less than 5 hours of sleep. It was riveting.
