Remember back in the good old days of blogging (pre-pinterest) when people did these survey thingys? This morning my fav Flower Patch Farm Girl did one and I am nothing if not a copy cat..

Here we go!

Reading...I just finished Sheila Wray Gregoire's The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex.

Awkward. But seriously this book is fantastic! I REALLY wish I would have read it when Brian and I were engaged! It is so hard to make the switch from prudish virgin to loving approachable wife... but God specifically created sex for marriage! It's not some dirty thing that God pretends doesn't happen.... He created it! Anyway I could go on and on but this book is great and you should read it! I'm totally going to make the girls read this before they get married... I'll also probably be that lady who gives this book out at bridal showers from now on.

Playing... Nurse to Kenley. She was up coughing a lot last night :(


Watching... Season 8 of Psych on Netflix while I pack and clean... Plus there are my regulars like Once Upon a Time and New Girl

Trying...to not lose my sanity amongst this packing mess.. its not working...

Cooking... not much.. Packing is taking up all of my brain space.. But I need to get it together so that we stop eating fast food!! Tonight we are going to have chili and sweet potatoes, tomorrow will be salsa chicken tacos, and friday will be slow cooker BBQ pork with sweet potato rounds and avocado

Eating... shame shame... at this very moment I am eating a Toaster Strudel

Drinking... So much coffee.

Calling...hopefully no one, ever.

Texting... Emma.. about coffee and magnesium and pretty much everything... The Husband... Thinking about changing his name in my phone to The President.. Also I am bound to text Amanda a bajillion times this week!

Pinning... I just got all my oils in and I am obsessed!

Tweeting... no twitter for me! I can barely keep up with this blog and the last time I posted a picture on facebook was probably a year ago.

Crafting... I bought supplies to make myself a diffuser necklace yesterday at the HobLob. I'm also working on end of year gifts for my sweet CC students and working on some personalized timeline cards for kids at our campus. More on all of those in another post!

Doing... So much packing and organizing. We are having a garage sale this weekend so I am rushing to sort through every single thing we own and purging a ton! Please come! 8-3 Friday and Saturday at our house!!

Going... to move to Las Vegas! I can barely believe it is real! Also we are planning a trip up to Washington this summer! I can't wait to hug on sweet baby Hadley!!

Loving... Waking up next to my sweet Claire. She doesn't crawl in bed with me in the mornings nearly as often as she used to so its super special the mornings that she does!

Hating... Claire had to have 2 cavities filled this morning. Halfway through she just started crying silently with big crocodile tears streaming down her cheeks. It broke my heart! She did SO MUCH better than I would have done! Just the thought of all that makes me gag! I took this picture so she could see how "silly" she looked....

Enjoying... New night time reading time with my Man. I sure love him!

Hoping... That Timillian travels well... In addition to obsessively researching oils I have been obsessively researching how to move with a cat

Celebrating... Warm weather so the girls can play outside while I pack!

Thanking... God for allowing Brian's VEERP to go through and his job in Vegas to go through! We are really going to miss our friends here but we are starting to get really excited for this new adventure!

Considering... Doing the 21 day fix once we get to Vegas. I'm running on 89% sugar and caffeine...

Finishing... Our first year of homeschooling! We have loved our CC family here in New Bern and I am so thankful that there is a campus in Vegas for us to join!

How about you???
Tell me everything.

Life Lately - November

Saturday, December 6, 2014

Barbara let me know that it is time for me to get back into blogging! :)
Here is our Life Lately for November! 

Red cup date night with KenKen:

Claire wrote her name all by herself! I wrote on Instagram:
 "This is a big deal in Claire land! She doesn't really color or write or follow directions so this is awesome! Go Claire" 
She sure is a cute little stinker :)  

I changed Brian's desktop background to a campaign poster that I designed for him to use when he runs for office... 


My Bestie came and spent a week with us! I was SO excited to take her to CC so she could see what its all about but unfortunately Claire got sick the night before so Amanda stayed home with her. The girls continued to throw up on and off the entire week that Amanda was here so we laid pretty low. We did manage to make scarves, earrings, cookies, homemade cronuts, a birthday banner for CLo, and assemble tiny Lego man hands (I know, Amanda, I owe you eternally for that). :)


Cookie time!

Cronut time! 

It was chilly and windy but I had to take her to see the gorgeous ocean! 

Claire will be having a Lego party for her 4th birthday so we have been doing lots of Lego sorting/organizing to get ready for her party! 

We are in the midst of our winter break for CC. We start back up again January 8th and we are LOVING the break! We love CC Community days but it is also really nice getting to relax and just drill the first 12 weeks of memory work! Here are the girls with their completed My Body projects! 
Confession: We made Claire's when we got home from CC with half pages that I had done as samples for my class and half as pages that one of my students had done who didn't show up for the final week to assemble the bodies :) I know he wouldn't care to do it at home so we might as well use them! 

We had family pictures taken! 


Unprompted Claire trying to get Kenley and Daddy to smile: 

 This girl is a nut! She is so funny! Her silly personality shines through more and more each day! 
 She is also a big night owl! 
That pretty much sums up November for the Ronks!

Pumpkin garland making...





CLo had to get a physical for Preschool. She is 38 inches tall and weighs 30.9 pounds! 


I call this the Walmart dinner :) Pretty good for nights when I just can't bring myself to cook and yet don't want to go totally off course with fast food! 
Rotisserie Chicken, French Bread, Cucumbers, Bell Pepper, Grapes, and Cheesy Yum (1 Container Ricotta mixed with 1 Cup Parmesan Cheese)

Apparently Claire isn't really that captivated by our latest read aloud book :) 

We had last Thursday off of CC which meant that we could go to the library for story time with Miss Deb! 


She has grown a little bit since last time she was photographed in this dress :) 

Craft time! 

Brian couldn't find Claire's jersey so he dressed her in his Seahawks outfit from when he was a baby! 


The highlight of the girls week was attending Lily's Frozen Party! During the party there was a coronation ball and all the girls (and boys) were each announced and then got to dance while Mr. Phil played Frozen songs on the piano. It was a hit for sure! 

Life Lately

I just discovered that there is a town called Ronks in Pennsylvania. We totally need to make a trip up there while we are still on the East Coast!! 

Kenley and I are getting back in our Craft of the Day groove! This day we did wet chalk abstract art and melting crayons art! 
We also did some Hair Chalking :)

The next day we made some Kandinsky circles! 

I haven't been doing too much crafting on my own lately unless you count making props and games for CC :) 

I LOVE how Kenley's Australia looks like a mouth guard! Haha! So cute! 

I can't remember if I mentioned that Brian is a CC tutor now too! His boards are always neater than mine! 

The girls and I were matching at CC last week! 

ALSO.... Amanda is having a girl!!!!!! YAY!!!!!
