This and That

-
The girls and I tore apart some storage bins the other day.  Baby clothes were taking over the garage. It’s kinda out of control.  I’ve allowed myself one bin of keepsakes that I hope to do something fun with one day.  I’m leaning towards making a quilt of old baby clothes that have sentimental value… Halloween and Christmas outfits, the adorable jammies that both girls cozied into, coming home from the hospital outfits… you get the drift.  Kaleyn decided to call on her inner Cinderella and try on every pair of shoes we came across… all that no longer fit her.  I guess that would make her the evil stepsister instead of Cinderella?  No way Jose… not my sweet pea.




Don't get rid of all my old clothes mom!
We have been dealing with some serious sleep deprivation over here (and by we I mean myself and little miss Lana).  I don’t know what’s going on with that girl… well I kinda do.. she loves her family and would much rather be with them than sleeping.  She also is crawling and pulling up pretty much every waking minute so a lot going on developmentally.  But seriously…  girl needs to nap before she drives mamma bonkers. Oh, and it would be nice if she would sleep past 5:30 in the morning.  Plus the bags under her eyes are not very becoming.

I don't sleep...

or sit still!






Kaelyn has brought her sister into the Wiggles World.  I am starting to believe that Lana might love them just as much as her sister.  Which makes me super duper excited that we are going to see them live in September!


It's a rare occasion that I plop my youngest in front of the boob tube… but sometimes desperate cranky times call for desperate TV measures.
The girls got to hang with the beautiful Isla yesterday and I got to see my bestie Brett. I love our new spot but miss my boos… we had such fun catching up and pulling one another's hair (the babies did this.. not Brett and I).




As you can tell based on this last picture…  a certain 2 year old is in much need of some styling in the hair department.  We haven't really known what to do… she doesn't have a lot of hair to work with so we have been hesitant to cut it but for the love of god… something has to be done.  This weekend we are heading to Orlando to visit Nonnie and will also be visiting a salon for the first time… hopefully they can work some magic.

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
