Multitude Monday 1-11-2021



Happy Monday!

All kids are snuggled in their beds, after a good, calm, full day. Matt is harmonizing along with Youtube to My Jesus I love Thee as I type, and it feels like the perfect ending to a perfect day! 


Thankful this week for another week of Healthy Heberts! We have laid fairly low, and have been extra careful when we do go out. 

Thankful for fun fam time. The outdoor movie setup is going to be our new Friday event to look forward to and new glow cups! 

Thankful for Amazon, and their incredible grocery deliveries, and really just everything delivery. From waters to TP to a new playgate for Lulu! 

Thankful for Chipotle. The perfect take out. 

Thankful for CrossFit. It pushes every boundary I have and def makes me stronger in more ways than 1! 

Thankful for Hudson's insane creativity. Today on his lunch- he set up a puppet tea party with candy canes and pizza for them all. 

Thankful for Harrison's courage. I know kids can do really brave things, but H blew me away Sunday night when he went to a high school youth group, solo! Of course I offered to walk in with him, but no, he had it, and after waiting in the parking lot in case he changed his mind, his text was " mom this is actually so legit and I met a bunch of guys". YES. And he came home with pizza. YES. 

Thankful for encouraging ministry on relationships. So.very.needed.

Thankful for daily Heaven hugs showing up in different ways this week, like snail mail from my aunt, daily verses that hit that specific concern & just a peace that comes from Him. Both Matt & I work for a school district that is having a lot of tension regarding re-opening in person. Thankfully we know that whatever the outcome, our God is in control and will most def carry us through the days ahead. Pray with us that we as a couple get the requested accommodation to continue to telework ( we hope to hear by Friday). It has been a literal dream come true! 


Here's this week in photos! 

Harrison riding his Go Kart to the park

Although hubby is a great multitasker, having a "door" to close for a little could be nice- so we got ghetto with these not cute but oh so functional noise reducer drapes and massive tension rod! It also says to the ever hungry snackers that the kitchen is closed too!

Our little genius. We see her using all Hannah's hair ties for bracelets and watching her methodically put each one on - has us in awe. 


My love for lit up drinks keeps growing. These my friends were 7.99 and 1/2 off. So. So. Cool. Yes I bought every box. 
The sparkly coffee nook. If I have to wake up in the dark, that coffee nook needs to be all sorts of cozy! 
Movie Night! 
Loving our heater!

Loved this reminder.
Matt's dad and Harrison on a guys breakfast & go kart date!

The reality to our Sunday, church door is wide open yet she runs the other way... 


Really girl - really?
And yet, while eating she is so serene and model perfect. 

And just to make sure my baby has her gmail account  ...



Leave on this note my fave readers! 
.... no good thing will He withhold...

Viva Las Vegas! 2020 & 2021



Road Trip! 

Just a quick 4 hour jaunt to our neighbor state of Nevada! 

And I redeemed myself- my last Vegas hotel booking was not so hot- read more here- https://www.blogger.com/u/1/blog/post/edit/preview/875139338267053821/7614353734917953680

but alas, my trip booking skills are back in action!

 5/5 stars for Elara by Hilton Grand Vacations, based on cleanliness, room size, amenities and indoor mall attached! (The pool area looks amazing too but was closed) 

That whole angelic profile. Oh Lulu... or Luis... or Lewie... or Luau... your nicknames are endless as are your napping skills. Get it GURL. 
Room with a view!
Attached to the hotel was the indoor mall, and these 2 were pretty excited for a "Yard Sale"- we didn't burst their bubble, but not really the same yard sale they are thinkin' of ;)
Dining was an experience... Covid restrictions had seating to 25% capacity & a max of 4 at a table. 


We were excited to see this cool projector for the shade! We kept the shade up to see those lights- but it was fun for a cartoon episode!
Our Fab 4. Freeze this day in time please. 
Harrison's love tank was filled by a date out with Matt.
 


Early risers get Starbucks & an empty mall to hoverboard around!
Hudson was chasing her with his RC Car.  I was briskly walking Lulu. Security guards seemed unphased by the kids toys until the 2nd morning. When that one overachiever guard brought up every hypothetical situation that "could" happen... thankfully she was very kind & thankfully I had consumed my coffee & thankfully the kids have watched Mall Cop a time or two and totally "understood". 
Another day, another car ride, another nap! 
Vegas Harley!

This sign tho...
New Years Eve Day! 
Fashion Mall & Lunch date at Sugar Factory


Guys, he didn't even ask to go in! Only a picture! Growth is happening! Go Harrison Go!

Wouldn't you love to make these displays? So yummy.










After naps for everyone, we ventured out for an early-ish NYE  night

Harrison dressed Matt - they both were pleased. I was like HAY NOW! Who's this 20 year old. Those shoes and skinny pants tho! ❤👀
Ballagio! The fountain show is always grand!

My 1st try at winning 10,000 = lost $5. Boo! And spoiler alert, it was like insert cash, press a button and over. Boring. But somehow it sucks in a crowd! That "what if" factor. 
When you over buy Christmas cookies, they serve as NYE Cookies too. 
HAPPY NEW YEARS! 2021 !

You knew my LED lights would make a NYE Appearance 😆
1.1.2021.
New Year. 
Fresh views. 
Fresh pages in the next chapter of the Hebert book.
