family day out

for the first time in a long time, Johnny took a Sunday off of work. We went to Bass Pro Shops (his choice of course!), but the girls love going there too becasue there acturally a lot to see and do...

then we had a yummy lunch at the cheesecake factory. note: we are big fans of the big bang theory, and so it cracked us up when we found items on the menu that characters on the show had ordered. I had totally figured that all of the stuff was made up, but it was so funny to find that they tied in real menu items in to the show. i really wanted johnny to ask if penny was working that day ;)

 

anna loved the HUGE "mini" corn dogs that she ordered off of the kids menu. she was bummed she could only finish one. no kidding though, these things were almost as big as a normal sized corn dog

taken with johnny's iphone 5 on the panorama setting...makes my camera phone photos look like crap! lol!

date night...

im glad we have a shared hobby, I just didnt know it would be this one ;)

more puppy pictures...

yes, I swear I do have kids still too...but I really cant help taking a ton of pictures of scout :)

the windsock...

I love seeing the things she makes at school. this windsock is now proudly hung from her bedroom ceiling :)

her art...

I love that both of my girls love to color and draw. I love watching Rylee's art get more recognizable. in case you couldnt tell, these are sunshine happy faces :) she drew these on the whiteboard in Johnny's office
