Day 31
Wednesday, June 27th
I love to try things I find on Pinterest...
Today I made a Hash brown Casserole for dinner, and it turned out quite amazing.
I have been itching to read a book lately, and I have quite the selection. My Nan left behind around a hundred books, all marked inside the front cover of the year she read it!
I also found this amazing website for the kids to read ebooks. When the story is over, they get to play two activities that relate to what they just read. Totally cool.
Happy Reading!

Day 28
Sunday, June 24
I spent my morning with a dear friend relearning coupon techniques! Clipping, planning and learning new ways to organize. Very productive visit =)
It is always refreshing to have a wonderful service in church.
If only my day started so pure everyday.
My babies loved Sunday school as well. They had so many things to share with me afterwards....
When church let out, Eric made the kids lunch and put them down for a nap while I went grocery shopping for the week. (One of my favorite, most relaxing things to do!) Full price, The items I bought would have cost me $44. Instead, I paid $12!! Really encouraged me!
Now, to finish getting ready for my week!!
Happy Sunday!

I Love Days at the lake!!
We went to Lake Weddington, and spent the entire day cooking out, swimming and playing horse shoes with some of our favorite people.
Aubree taught herself how to "go under" the water. She did it so many times, she was comfortable with being thrown, or jumping into the water =)
Shortly after, Kharter decided he would try! He succeeded as well!
My loves are officially Water Babies. Next step is learning to SWIM!

Another dirty day outside! Love Summer!
Today, Marnay walked the kids to the park 10 minutes from my house. They told me all about it!
Aubree and Landon's new favorite thing to do is make mud. =)
Eric bought:
Cookies & Milk

Flashlights
And Shake's Frozen Custard
The kids are now in the back yard eating popsicles, glowing, and playing flashlight tag, and catching lightning bugs in a Mason Jar!

Day 21
Fathers Day:
Most people who know me, know I never really had a relationship with my biological father. He was not in another state, or even in another town, He did not miss one of my games, but missed them all. However, I had a hero come in my life at age 13. He made every single game, graduation, Homecoming, birthday party, delivery of my children and so much more... I am very grateful for Marc Noakes, and the love and support he has showed me along the years. Good and Bad!
I am also lucky to have an amazing husband who does anything and everything in the world for me, and our children. We have such an amazing story, a beautiful home, the best children, and a wonderful life together today. I am very thankful for Eric Francis. My love.
My 2 babies also have a great father, who has moved his life to be closer to his children. Very thankful.
We were invited last minute to a friend's parents house!
So much fun. We had Ribs, cabbage, Southwestern beans and cornbread, Homemade Mac& Cheese, and potato salad!!!! SCRUMPTIOUS!
We swam, played horseshoes, swam again, played Volleyball, Horse, and went for a night swim!
Wonderful Father's Day!

Day 19
This weekend, Eric and I are kid free. Even over 2 days I miss my babies. But, I really enjoy some adult company.
Before we dropped the babies off at their daddy's, we all got slushes from sonic! Kharter got a Strawberry Dr Pepper, Aubree got a Cherry Limeade, Eric got a Strawberry Limeade, and I got my all time favorie, Ocean Water!!
Afterwards, we went thrift shopping. Potter's House in Fayetteville is awesome! I got a little something for all 4 babies, some Brand new tshirts, and a new can opener. =)
Tonight we went to Wasabii for a Sushi Date night! If you ever go, Try "Sam's" roll. It is the best! Deep fried, with lobster on top and fried shrimp in the middle, a little wasabii sauce on top, and Eel & Soy sauce... YUM!
I also had a Pink Flamingo, Rum, Vodka, Cranberry and Coconut!
Then, We met up with a few friends and played pool at Brewskies, All night! Great Times <3

Day 18
One of my favorite places to eat it GRUBBS Uptown. Not only is the food delicious, restaurant is clean, but KIDS EAT FREE, Everyday!
Eric and I had our favorites, Turkey Club and Chicken fried steak, while kids both ordered Mini Corn dogs with Fries/Chips.
There are not a lot of places that let kids eat free, but here is a link to see who does in NWA!

Day 14
Days like these are my favorite.
I catch up on all of my laundry, get lunches ready for the week and
the house is usually sparkling before bed.
I have to admit, I have had some amazing helpers so far this summer!
I have to say thanks to my sitters for all they do around here. They work long hours, 8:30- 5:45, keeping my babies safe, fed, and entertained. When I come home from work, my house is just as clean as I left it! Good help is hard to find. The best part, my babies are always so excited to tell me about their day!

Day 12
A few months ago Aubree's bed was broken when some kids jumped on it...
So, since her and Aleigh's beds would be different if we bought Aubree a new one, we
just got 2 new ones- and decided to start over new on their room! Here is a sneak peak!
Finished room is coming soon! (the kids are super psyched)

Day 11
Being a Parent is such a tough job. It can really wear on a person physically and mentally.
Children are dependant, therefore parents are responsible of taking care of every little thing that needs to be cooked, cleaned, answered, fixed, poured, opened, corrected, washed, turned, explained, pulled, etc.
The reward, though, is that one moment when your babies look at you and smile. It sure melts my heart.

Suddenly, all of the tears, sweat, and muscle aches are irrelevant.
