Crazy Love Gamble-Style

The other day we went on a little hike with my friend Jessica.  She just had her third boy, Crosby, so we finally got a chance to meet him.  We also did a little geocaching along the way....  Love my Ava girl.  Crosby, I just love the name.  And he is adorable.  They found the first box!  It turns out that it is filled with junk, like the exact stuff I'm constantly trying to eradicate from our lives.  Maybe we can bring, and leave our random little kid treasures here, for other kids to find...just a thought.  Love these girls!  Max!  Our bug.  Oh I adore log cabins.  Had to force a group shot.  That is my job.  Ava caught a butterfly.  And eventually let it go...  Nature.  Boys.  Good luck keeping them out of the water/dirt/mud.  Cute.  I love this.  Apples for all.  Ava struggled with her complete lack of tee...

Yes, none of these go together, I'm just happy to be posting them, so there is that... Our wonderful neighbors took us out to Peitro's Pizza for a fun night of celebrating the girl's birthdays.  They were embracing that idea of spending time rather than gifts, I am so happy because this is the kind of thing we will all always remember.  We all had a great time!  They are the best neighbors ever.  Here are the Valentines themed cookies the girls and I made for Church.  These girls have style. So cute, all in red. Starbucks date with the bestie. Sassy, in this picture and in life. Our ballet teacher had a sub last week, but she didn't show up.  Ava happily said she would teach the class. I went on a nice family hike the other day, it was so fun!  Love hiking trails that are stroller friendly.  We did 4 miles which I'm sure would of been a bit much for our little shorty.  Love Linda Love her.

 We recently celebrated this little ones half birthday, so fun!  We went over to my dad's house and had a nice dinner together, the girls relaxed with Auntie on the hammock.    That night they got to camp outside, such a fun daddy thing to do.  Although this time he sent them out there on their own, they did great-ish!  We got to escape to the beach with Lauren & her family for a few days, that was really fun!   Such a blessing to get to spend time with her wonderful family, her father is also my pastor, so that was pretty cool to hang out with him.  : )  Of course s'mores happened.  And some sisterly sleeping complete with feet pushed into faces...  Perfect beach playing weather!  We came home for 2 seconds and then spontaneously went back to the beach, this time with John, Jessica, Mom, John, Chris, D'Auna, and Alayah in tow...I love that we can just last minute thro...
