Daddy Daughter Date x Four

What's better than Mom getting to go out with some friends without any babies?

Going on a date with Daddy for pizza AND sno cones - without Mommy!

Date Night

We love date night!

Thanks to the girls' PaPa and NeNe

and our awesome Abbey Lamb

(Gianna calls her Abbey Lamb - not Abbey, not Abigail - Abbey Lamb),

Bill and I got to spend some alone time talking and getting fat at this spectacular place:

After we got home and put the girls in bed, we discovered that this was on

Sleepover

Bill and I have been married for NINE YEARS!

When in the world did that happen?

Because Bill is my BFF, and our moms are the best moms/grandmas/Lolas/Nenes EVER -

Bill and I got to have a sleepover

without kids

in another city.

How 'bout them apples?

Because you know I love lists, our sleepover was superfun because:

Pie, A Date, A Witch, and Some Milk

We had our friends over for dinner Friday night. I love them. It's always good to spend time with old friends. We had this for dessert. Photo Source

I thought it was a.maz.ing.

Bill wasn't a huge fan, but that's ok -
I have no problem eating the leftovers.
No problem. at. all.
You should make it and tell me if I'm right -
is it as awesome as I think it is?

Saturday, Bill and I went on a date. Date nights are awesome!
Not so awesome when your date gets sick

In My Absence

What in the world has been going on since my last post???
Espy loves kindergarten.
Gianna loves preschool.
Isabella is 13 months old.
It all makes me kind of sad.
Espy's going to play basketball.
It should be interesting because she's just like me,
and I don't play -
at all.
Gianna starts gymnastics soon.
Gianna in a leotard will be spectacular.
Isabella likes to play in toilet water.
Not so spectacular.
Bill rocked a 5k coming in first place.
Espy started soccer, and her daddy's her coach.
Some friends got married!
Espy was their flower girl.
I was a bridesmaid.
Espy was super cute.
Two sweet baby girls were born.
Another baby is going to be born any minute now!
I still want to have another baby.
Bill's not convinced.
Bill smoked a 1/2 marathon, coming in first, again.
I'm superproud of my running husband.
It makes me want to run,
for a minute,
then I get home and return to mommy world.
Bill and I went on a date.
It didn't go as planned,
but that's another post.
I found some new music courtesy of one friend.
I rediscovered some old music courtesy of another.
I baked a pie.
It was yummy.

What have you been doing in my absence?
I'd love to know!

First Date

Espy went on her first date today.
She was so excited she could hardly stand it.


One of the guys in our youth group told me this story:
So when I was a young lad, my sister's best friend's older sister took me on a date to the ice cream shop. She was like 18, and I was 5. So I have remembered that day my whole life. So I want to take your girls on a date one night (if you trust me driving), but I am good - haha. But I think it would be really fun. Let me know what you think.


After lunch this afternoon, I took Espy outside to meet her date. You should have seen the smile on that little girl's face - adorable.


Thank you, Matt, for taking out my little Espy and showing her how a gentleman should treat a lady - she will never forget it!
