Camp Out

So last night Brent decided that we should have a camp out in the living room. We had put our blow up mattress in the storage unit so we just took our mattress and used that! It was so fun. Maibel could not quit laughing about it because she was so excited. At about 4 am Maibel was laying across both of us at the same time. I was awake and she kinda woke Brent up. He reached over and tickled her and she says, with her eyes closed, "Dad, this is not the time for that. It is way too late." It was so funny. Neither of them remembered it this morning.

Things that I love

So, as I am cleaning the house today, I started thinking about some of those little things that just make my life easier and I thought I would share some of them with you all!

1- My Dyson vacuum. Seriously the best vacuum EVER. I bought it for myself a year and 1/2 ago with some of my tax return money. It was my present to me.2-My heating pad. I sleep with it almost every night! Besides the fact that Brent tries to freeze me to death by sleeping with the windows open and this thaws me out, it is my saving grace for my arthritis in my back! On the days when its hard to move because my back hurts so bad, all I want is this!
3-My new cook book! Not only does it save us tons of money because we don't go eat out, all the recipes are SO good. I find myself sitting down and reading it like a novel.
4-My scentsy. I'm obsessed, I know. I love having my house smell good and I love scensty because you don't have to worry about it burning your house down. :) AND I can change the scent everyday if I want! PS- this pic is the one I have in my living room!
5-My newest find. Instead of dryer sheets, you just stick this in your drying with the sticky back and it last for at least two months. Its awesome. It was only like $5 dollars and no sheets to throw away or forget to put in your load of laundry. Plus, it works SO well.
6-And last but certainly not least, Crystal Light On The Go Energy. YUM!! I love these. Its only like 5 calories a serving and on those days you just can't get going, they are awesome. Danielle and Jenny can testify!

She's A Swain!

She might look more like a Wright but she's played soccer like a Swain!! Yesterday was Maibel's first soccer game. It was literally the first time she has ever played soccer and she did awsome! She even made a goal. It was SO cute to watch her out there. She stayed in the game almost the entire time. I told her my dad would have loved to watch her play and she said "But Mom, he is watching me." I wanted to cry!

She was so worried bc I had signed her up late to she doesn't have her uniform yet. I just put her in a pink shirt to match her team but she was convinced that they wouldn't let her play without "a real soccer shirt". She just cracks me up!

Everytime she would kick the ball or anything, she would look over at me to make sure what she did was ok. I love how innocent these kids are.

San Diego

This past week end we were able to go to SanDiego for Brents fam reunion. It was SO much fun. We camped at Camp Pendelton and spent a lot of hours on the beach! We flew out there Thursday and got home late Monday night. All of the Brents siblings were there and four of Kieth's kids were able to make it as well.
