Really, wow a year goes by so fast...

Every time I get around to updating this I say the same thing, this will be the last time I let it go this long, time has gotten away from us, we were so busy, etc... All of these things are true, but in reality I have kind of been trying to figure out where I want to go with this blog.  I post quite a few updates on my Facebook page and keep people updated via text and e-mail, so I wasn't quite sure what I needed to say here.  I am thinking that it will just be a place for my family to share all the things that we love and have fun doing.  Maybe I will update it every week or month or just once a year, Tomme might even post a good beer on here he likes to drink.  I think instead of it being just about the cuteness of Charlie and Georgia, it will be about what we found to be useful sh** in our every day lives.  

With that being said, I haven't prepared many pictures of what we find useful, but here are two things that I just figured out are saving me tons of time trying to be the best Mom I can be, Keratin hair treatment and Chicken in the crockpot with Frontera Red Enchilada Sauce.  Now I am not saying that these two things are going to save all of the starving children in the world, but they have made me and my family smile at least 2x this week.


Stopped at our friends family farm on our way to visit our friends in Washington, IL.  Farm equipment is very exciting for kids, cheapest and most exciting day this summer!


Love...

Truth...


I love when our friends think of our kids, thanks Dave L. for making the day for our Chuckles.

Tomme and his little peeps in Florida.  Charlie, Julia, Maddie, and Georgia had the time of their lives.

Midwestern Camel?!

Cheeks.

Firetrucks make us all smile :)

Fire, Fire, Fire...

And last, but not least the biggest reason we have been smiling lately:

Madeline Shel Poppy Kolinsky has arrived!

They are all in love...
