Let’s Go to the Beach, Beach; Let’s Go Get Away

-

 This past weekend was spent in Tampa with The Apples and Poppy and CeCe who came all the way from Virginia to visit.  We drove up Friday, stopped for lunch at Cracker Barrel and just hung with the fam the rest of the day.




Saturday we headed East to Indian Rocks Beach, where daddy spent much of his childhood.  We swam at the hotel pool, enjoyed frozen daiquiris (virgin of course), and had dinner at PJ’s Oyster Bar.  KK is really bonding with her cousins… it is so adorable to witness.  She would squeal with joy as Ethan chased her around the house and even held hands with Riley at dinner.  I can barely get her to hold my hand at most times, Miss Independent. 






Sunday we relaxed at the beach after breakfast.  Little girl actually got in the water this time.  We have never really attempted to take her in when we have gone in the past, as the water has been too chilly but perfect temps this weekend. 

We made the drive home Monday… and little KK is still recovering from her sleep mishaps over the weekend.  It’s crazy how one or two missed/short naps can mess a girl up for days. 

And in other news… Kaelyn, AKA Bruiser, got her first Mike Tyson black eye Monday night.  I seriously don’t even know how it happened.  She was pushing her little picnic basket around the kitchen and Brax and I both saw her go down.  It didn’t look all that drastic, she cried for a minute, and recovered as usual, then boom… she’s ready for the boxing ring.  My poor boo… it almost looks worse today then it did yesterday.  She’s one tough cookie though and will be back to normal in a few days.


She missed her bubba... he stayed with his girlfriend Luna for the weekend.

Baby girl number two is doing wonderful.  Had a doctor’s visit today… and she is a healthy 2 lbs 4 oz and right on track.  I cannot believe in just three short months Kaelyn’s little sister will be here and we will be a family of four.  I am soaking up the moments with my only child and anticipating the arrival of a new baby sister.

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
