Happy Thursday!

Hello! Did you know Thursdays are my favorite day of the week? I've mentioned this before, but I have a love for holiday eves. To me? The buildup is always better than the actual holiday and Thursday always feels like a Friday eve. I look forward to Fridays and the weekend, so Thursdays just fit.... they are the best day of the week!

If you follow me on Instagram, you saw yesterday, I got a little emotional on my stories talking about reading old blog posts and it was then I decided that while I will add in some stuff like recipes, fashion, how-to's lifestyle, etc etc. I will also just do plain old family stuff. Reading those old blog posts just made my week! I know when I am old and grey I will look back on these blog posts and smile big. I've created our own little time capsule here and what a gift that we can have it forever.

So! Here's a little bit of what we've been up to.....

 

Mother Nature has been all over the place lately! We got a decent sized snowstorm, and the kids had a blast outside sledding down our back hill.

Archie's first "official" snowfall. I'm not counting the dustings we've had. He even got on the sled a couple times with Kamryn. He didn't know what to think. Next year he's going to be flying down that hill on his own! 

This picture gets me. Never ever did I expect to have Archie. Not in a million bazillion years did I think when Kamryn was in high school, she'd be holding her baby brother but here we are. I'm so grateful God tugged on my heart to have one more. Archie truly is the biggest blessing to all of us.

Kamryn was invited to her friend, Alexa's Quinceanera. She had a blast. They both looked beautiful!

Ahhh....Kensington. She is truly my biggest helper. This girl was born with a servant's heart and is always eager to jump in and do whatever. She's the only Sass kid that never needs to be reminded to do her chores.

Kensington loves her Archie.

Before bed snuggles with Smith. He is such a mama's boy. I'm going to miss him in the Fall when he goes to kindergarten.

He's been my little sidekick for the past 5 years. I don't know what I'll do with myself when it's just me and Archie at home for the next few years.

As I said before Mother Nature has been a little wonky lately. Yesterday was 55 and GORGEOUS! When Mike got home from work, we went right outside to get some vitamin D and enjoy our afternoon coffee together. 

Smith and Archie were thrilled to get some much-needed fresh air!

I cannot wait for some consistent warm weather (come on Spring!!!) so we can put our newly renovated back yard to use even more! Stay tuned.... I have SO much to share about that!! Lots of before and after pictures coming your way. It really is wild what it was before and what it is now. It was our biggest project yet and absolutely worth the investment! We love spending time outside as a family. I'm really looking forward to adding some finishing touches and sharing it with you all.

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL day! 

Until next time, xoxo
