A video, A weekend update, and A bit about T

Dear Travis,

Please don't be too angry that I posted this totally stellar video of you on my blog for my blogging Bff's to see. I personally think you look sexy with pink hair, and your dance moves are totally groovy. And seriously....you are a pretty awesome father.


Love, me.



Dear Blogging Bff's,



Please excuse my terribly ugly laugh throughout this whole video. Please.


Love, me.







Now that you have lol'd, I'll get to the rest of my post.


Thursday I got to go to lunch with a few of my highschool friends, which we don't do very often. I post this picture so those of you who didn't come and read my blog see what you missed out on! Just kidding girls, we missed you though!

We've had a pretty laid back weekend. Travis was able to get some golfing in, I was able to get some shopping in, and the kids got a whole lot of playing in-so I guess we are all happy! On Friday I took the girls to Willow Park to see the animals. We had a great time walking around in the not quite as hot weather, and the animals put on quite a show for us. (Though if you ask Sienna which animal was her favorite she will tell you, every time, that it was the lion-and the parrots. They have no lion, but whatevs she's 2, right). Then Friday night we went to the "family reunion" at my Grandma's retirement community. I have to be honest when I say that it was just hot and sticky and crowded, but my Grandma loves nothing more than showing off her great grand kids and they love her a whole lot too, and they had a good ol' time. I love this picture I snapped of the three of them. Isn't my grandma such a beauty?



So this week is the big week. The scan is set for Tuesday, and we are praying and fasting for good news. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit of a wreck and totally ready for the next few days to be over and for our "normal" life to come back. Our families are both fasting with us tomorrow and we are getting together for a family dinner and Travis will get a blessing, and I find that a blessing always calms our nerves a bit and feels our home with warmth. I wish I could express how thankful I am for that, but whenever I try to type it it just doesn't come out right. But you get the gist, right?


Results should be back any time from Tuesday-Thursday. I'm really hoping for Tuesday because waiting is no fun at all. None. I will post the results when I can-so keep checking back for the good news *having faith*.


And if you want to, go ahead and say a prayer for my man.


Hugs to all!

Well the dance party was a big hit at my house. My kids had to watch it four times. Cole said "Hey that's Addie's Dad, does he really have pink pigtails?"

I am so glad you use your video camera to capture the cutest things!!! I am such a slacker, i am good with the camera but not the video camera. That one is a total classic, and he looks like he is having way too much fun, I love it!

Heidi Kjar said...

Trisha said...

Okay, so the jab of the picture and the lunch that I missed...yeah, it was a heart breaker. Glad you didn't write anymore about how great it was!

Loved the video of Trav, but more, I loved hearing you laugh like that. Haven't heard it in a long time and it was beautiful.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

LOVE the video, Lily Jane made me play it 5 times and wanted more but I had to cut it off somewhere. She kept saying, "I like those dancing girls, mom!" I asked her what about the dancing daddy and she said "I like him too mom, the girls are just my favorite." haha, guess the pink ponytailed dancing dad didn't seem surprising to her at all. You are absolutely in our prayers. *hugs*
