Nice Weekend

I feel like we stayed pretty busy all week, and had a nice rewarding weekend. First Me and Chad got date night for the first in a while.. His parents have been out of town for a while and mine arent local enough to get date nights anymore :(  So we dropped off the kids and did night riding on four wheelers and hung out , then got to sleep in till 1030!! Wowzers... love it! Then we slowly made it back to get the kids and headed to my parents for some visit time.. All but Laila slept the entire way there, so thats always nice. Kids got some fun play time, heres a pic of them freezing at the park haha or maybe they werent but us adults were :)
During that visit the kids helped set up Christmas tree over there so when we got home of course kids begged and begged to do ours, and we usually wait till after Thanksgiving but having two 3 year olds extremely excited for it makes you say Heck ya lets do it.. So we set up ours, will wait for ornaments till the weekend.. But they love it and like it plugged in all day :)
We usually keep it on sunroom porch thing but this year we want to see it from all over the house.. I never knew having twins could magnify the special feelings of holidays but boy Christmas is going to be awesome this year.. And then finally our pachage of Old Navy boots came in the mail so the girls were excited to wear them.. Ciaras are a little big since they reviewed small.. so she got a 4! girl takes after her Mommy for sure! and Laila got boots and new hat,.. She kept them on till hot tub time later in the night :)
So thats our wrap up of the weekend.. Now its the last day of school for the Thanksgiving holidays and we are all excited to feast and stuff ourselves tomorrow.. Time to start relaxing, smelling good smells,and taking in the views of MY perfect life :)

Surprise Beecher Stop

Today we (me Ciara Laila) were on our way to Megans babyshower in Beecher when we passed up the Veterans Memorial.. We were running early so I told the kids I had a special stop to make.. We pulled in and I waited for Ciara to read what it was we were at.. As she read she was super excited, then I told her Uncle Adams name is up on the wall and we should find it.. I had never been to it or looked before and this year Ciaras getting older and appreciating these kinds of things more and more. So as Laila played around looking at flowers and prettys I told Ciara lets start looking.. She was tricked to not find it under Adam haha, I told her it goes last name first. So even funnier she found Hankins and said here it is! I said nope, Hendershot remember.. So she happily pointed it out ( I found it sooner but let her find it for me) She asked why Grandpa and Uncle Wynston and Paul werent on it, I explained it was for local area veterans.. Still confused I told her her other Uncles were grown and already in the Navy by time me and Uncle Adam moved here.. SO anyways she was happy to see it and we took pictures.. Heres our pics finding it :)

Fun Day at Covered Bridge and Shelbyville

Today as we sat bored this morning, we decided ok we are loading up in the LTD and taking a drive.. That led to lets hit the Covered Bridge.. Could go to Casey or Cowden... Went with Cowden



So that was a fun time, and kids loved walking all through it and under it and taking funny odds and ends pictures.. Heres them posing where Daddy put them


And heres all 4 chillen on a log down below it
Then we decided instead of headed back home to sit and be bored, keep on going to Lake Shelbyville.. The kids wanted to climb the Big dam hill and then roll down.. So we grabbed some lunch at Subway and ate at picnic area, and started the climb...

Then time for some play on swings 4 kid style :)
And warming up by fire for couple minutes








And you cant forget all the fun jumping rocks!



And last but not least walking over by the water to look for fish and play on smaller rocks






Daddy had his arms full on way to car

And Heres one of the Happy parents... Love Love it

Part Time Mommy

So I know most people dont get to stay home all day with their kids, but I do.. And its huge that I am no longer a full time mommy.. Cooper and Laila have entered the school system.. Now I share full trust in the school to help teach and guide all 4 of my babies.. Now why am I sending my 3 year olds off if Im sad.. Well Laila has apraxia.. Therefore she needs very special speech structure to help her be able to talk in the future.. And figure out how to get those words to come out. Cooper is also qualified with minor delays , nothing serious at all, but also twins benefit being together at the young age.. So today I sit home my first day for only 2 and half hours (that actually flew by with my workout and cleaning :)  )Wondering how much fast it can fly! I was telling my mom in three years all will be in full day school.. Ill have a 11 year old 9 year old and two 6 yr olds ... followed up with only being 30! how nuts ... Anyone stressing for the day just know, its all going to fly and cherish :) I plan to fully make up for it in each afternoon.. and I know in three years ill be getting my first adult out of house job in 13 years! or have another baby;) hugs and kisses to all
