We finally had new family photos taken. Megan knocked it out of the park again.

I swear for about a month if anyone asked what we’d been up to lately, I’d respond with “The Royals.” And, we went to only one game. Here are the husband and I enjoying one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced – and I’m not even much a sports fan. It was that awesome.

A few weekends ago, we headed to Beloit, KS to see the family. Here are a few of the cousins, plus Gigi and Papa, at the end of the scavenger hunt.

When we got to the top of the hill, Ellie just ran in circles, and I snapped away. That Kansas sky was too pretty to ignore.

I have discovered Vanderpump Rules, a little belatedly and am proud to announce my life will never be same. Also, did anyone gasp during RHOA this week when Apollo admitted he lied? Me neither. (Okay, I did. He totally fooled me.)

Ellie has discovered pigtails. I’ve been trying to get her to wear the style for around a year. We had a breakthrough when she realized she looked like her preschool BFF with them in. She is officially 2 going on 16. In this picture, she is shocked at something on T.V. It was not Apollo’s confession.

This dip from Gimme Some Oven is ridiculously easy and addictive. Proceed with caution.
