Bacon

via Bacon on Facebook

Who doesn't LOVE bacon?  We love it.  I have a home full of boys who love it and always ask for it when we eat out.  They say, "I'll have anything that has bacon".  Well we found a place that has bacon on the menu with everything!  Devan turned 15 Saturday and we decided to eat at Bacon.  As they say at Bacon, "Swine Time Is Always A Fine Time."  And well let me tell you, it was! Michael and I ordered the Double Grind and it was sooo good.  You can taste bacon in every bite.  Yum!  The boys all ordered French Toast.  It was served with two extra thick slices of toast and bacon of course.  Ethan and Coen actually shared an order and they couldn't finish it.  I had no problem helping them finish it.  So yummy I tell you.  Are you listening?  This place is worth a try.  I would put it on your restaurants to try list.

Belated Birthday Love

I love your smile.  I love your eagerness to learn.  I love how you dive into books.  You have always loved to read.  When you were 2 or 3 you would prefer me to read to you than watch a fun TV show.  You also love to bake.  A boy after my own heart.  You are now in the double digits.  The big 10.  My how the time has passed.  You have this way of getting along with everyone.  I love the hugs that you give and the way you look after Coen.

i love you...

I love it when you pretend not to like it when I smother you with hugs and kisses.  I know you pretend because I see how hard you try not to smile but you do, a little one that only I can see.  I enjoy seeing the sweet moments when you are kind and loving to your brothers.  I absolutely love the music you create and learn and bring into our home.

I love you.

Good Use of Furniture

This is a great use of furniture.  How lovely to see your shoes displayed in a fabulous piece of furniture.

And what about displaying all your purses in an armoire.  I love this idea.  Isn't this closet just beautiful?  Ah heaven...To have a closet set up this way.  I would feel like I was shopping everyday.  I need to remember this closet and use it once the kids start moving out.  I do have a long way to go but who says you can't dream.

Today I like this headboard and cute little pillow with birds.  It is too cute!  This picture just makes me want to jump in and snuggle up.

Family Pictures



Via Leilani Rogers





Last weekend my dear friend Leilani came by our home and took some family pictures.  She has recently decided to change direction with her photography.  She is now doing lifestyle photography.  I love this type of photography as it captures the fleeting moments you love so much and don't ever want to forget.  I saw her this morning for our usual Saturday run and she mentioned that she had posted our pictures last night.  Well when I got home I rushed to the computer and was blown away.  I swear we spent all morning looking at these pictures over and over again.  I just LOVE them.  She did such an amazing job.  We absolutely LOVE the pictures.  You need to go to her website and look at the rest.  She does amazing work.  Did I mention that I LOVE the pictures?
Leilani, thank you so much. (((hugs)))  Run over and take a look.
