Close Encounters

-


It seems to never stop raining around these parts!  And we are going crazy!  There is only so much you can do inside.  We stocked up on some art supplies at Target the other day and we have officially had our first color (she only ate the crayons once!), first play dough sculpture (she didn’t try to eat this once!), and today we will paint (with water of course!).  




This morning we saw a sliver of sunshine so we jumped on it.  Kaelyn and I headed to the park and even remembered our bread for the ducks!  We will not bring bread to the ducks anymore.  Holy moly are they some brave ducks.  I swear they would have eaten my leg if I didn’t chuck the whole two pieces of bread I brought at them and ran the other direction.  From now on we will watch the other duck feeders from afar and enjoy as we have in the past.  Even the squirrels are crazy there.  Kaelyn almost brought one home as a pet… they too almost attacked my leg.  I could not believe how close they would come to us… it’s quite obvious they are fed my humans on a regular basis. 

And now for the hundred pictures I took… my little girl is just too cute to not take a hundred pictures!! 

You know it's going to be a good time when you can rock out to Kris Kross!


She continued closer to the squirrel and he wouldn't budge... mamma had to grab the babe before she lost a finger.


Defying gravity

Break dancing... she really enjoyed the Kris Kross!









Back and forth, back and forth, across the bridge




And a few randoms from the week...

She LOVED this chair!  Our friend Brett is having a little girl in September (can't wait!!) and she took all the baby toys out to play with and would not leave the chair!!  
Guess what Mommy will be shopping for this weekend?!?

Her morning routine... baking up some cheerios, raisins, and banana chips.  Yum!



We CANNOT wait until tomorrow when Grandma, Aunt Cassie, Uncle Jack, Nev, and Grace come to visit for a whole week!!

As I sit here, drinking my pumpkin spice creamer (with a splash of coffee) and munching some pumpkin bread I’m trying to tie my jumble of pictures together into a post that makes some sort of sense… and pretty much getting nowhere.   It’s been a bit chaotic around here… not really sure why… but can’t seem to bring the focus in to get a blog post done.   So with the focus thrown out the window, here is what we have been up to lately... Tara paid us a visit not to long ago and we got to   meet her little beauty, Priya.   Love that girl as does my Kaelyn. Smart girl... knows the best team in college football!  (thanks for the photo bomb Josh!)   We may have a little volunteer fire fighter on our hands… as long as she doesn’t have to hold onto the hose too tight.  For Kaelyn’s first birthday we got her a bike trailer that we cruised around in all of three times in Jupiter and haven’t touched since… until now.   We live super close to a beautiful p

Appreciating: November!

AHHHH!  Prepping for a new baby and holidays make for one crazy combo in my world.  So here we are, February knocking on the door, and I am finally posting our November, December, and January.  Better late than never I suppose.  It's been a super busy three months, but we have celebrated Thanksgiving, a new niece, Christmas, and prepared for a new arrival by moving the girls into one room and getting his nursery ready to go. And now, November.. We have moved up in gymnastics... now both girls get to play while mama sits.  My kind of gymnastics class.   We traveled to Tampa for Thanksgiving this year.  No baking involved... Ruth Chris Steak House for the win. A Thanksgiving celebration at school Daddy Daughter Date Our annual tree selection ceremony.  This year I was pretty insistent on the tree we chose... which ended up being a dud and hardly making it through Christmas.  Oops.

Happy Birthday Chad

Today, January 25 th , we would be celebrating my brother’s 33 rd birthday.  When I think of him passing at the age of twenty, one of the first thoughts that always enters my head is being sad for him that he never reached legal drinking age.  I couldn’t wait for this day when I was twenty, but honestly, he probably could have cared less.  Chad didn’t get into trouble.  He was quiet, kind, responsible, thoughtful, tall, handsome… any mamma’s dream child. Chad lived a peaceful and content life at home with my Mom, Cassie, and Jack.   He loved his video games and actually liked his job at Federal Express.   Nothing breaks my heart more than not being home with him and my family his last couple years.   As the years pass, my memories fade, and that is gut wrenching.   I have tried and tried to remember the last time we were together or our last conversation, and both have vanished.   I do know the last time we talked over the phone we had discussed something about my cat, an
