Back to our Crazy Daily Life...

...for a few days at least.
We're back at it after the USC weekend. Poor Huskers...turns out they're still not the national powerhouse we were hoping. That's OK, though. Their attempt to bring down number one presented us the opportunity for tons of fun. We took the kids....Ella, Mia, Bergen and Mattie to Husker Pavillion for games and outside fun in the afternoon. Bergen and Ella jumped themselves silly, and while Mattie wasn't quite as into the activities she did pose for plenty of photo ops....Even with Giff!!! As you can see from the picture of her asleep on the biggest bed ever (Frosty and DeEtte's), Husker Pavillion was too much for Ella - I expect everyone noticed Chris even donned his Husker jacket for the festivities. He and Giff braved the game while the rest of us partied the night away at Seth and Linsey's. And by "the night" I mean until about 11. Oh yeah, we're animals.

This:
Is what happens to my girls the day after vacation! My question is this...why, then did they wake up in the first place! Probably so I could take the adorable picture.

Ella has really gotten into Play-Doh and is quite good at it. We mostly smash it flat and use cookie cutters to make shapes. We picked up Addie this morning to give Heidi a reprieve, and let her have some time to "fall in love with" Matthew. The girls played great, and, to my benefit, played hard enough for Miss Ella to take a good nap this afternoon.

Just to top it off, I'm including a few new pictures of Mia. She's a precious little thing, and she puts up with our craziness like a champ!
