airport fun with cousins

We had a lay over in Denver on our way back from UT, so I set it up with Leah to see her kids in the airport for a minute. Upon arrival, I was surprised to hear that Tess was there as well! I know that it was a VERY fast and short meeting, but I appreciate them for taking the time to come and see us and letting the kids all get together and "play" a little bit. It had been almost 18 months since any of them had seen each other!


Group shot!
Tess decided she wanted to take a picture of Bryan and I on our camera. Thought I should include it...for posterity sake and for good laughs!



Me with all the kiddos! I am so glad it worked out to see them!





Me and Tess and Leah!

After we said our goodbyes we headed for security...and it took FOREVER to get through! We finally made it with only about 10 minutes to spare before missing our flight...so we booked it! We made it and some people were even nice enough to change seats so I could sit with Kambria and Ainsley and Bryan could sit with Weston!

We were so glad to have seen family and make our flight back home! It could have been a boring layover, but we like to make life fun and exciting!

Thanks again guys!








airport fun

On our way to UT at the nashville Airport. We grabbed some wendy's dinner before we got to the airport and then at it on the little playground inside the airport! We saved time and money doing this. It was great!

Ainsley even had fun!









feb fondue

For valentines day every year since Bryan and I were dating we have done fondue dinner. It is so much fun to invite a different couple each year and to not have any expectations for valentines day, we just know it will be a fondue experience!

We started out the day with heart shaped sprinkle pancakes for the kids...since we were going to be traveling on Valentines day we did it on the saturday before.

And then we decorated!









This is the kids table, yes they are included in the fun that night too! We enjoy it and so do they...and then with the couple that we invite we let the kids play with their kids. It is great!

Our place settings are a little nicer :)



The candy table...





Weston sneekign some candy...



the mirror is the first thing you see when you walk in...it HAD to be decorated too!




And my little helper! Love this girl!
