Appreciating: February

-
We are half way into the month of love… and our hearts sure feel it.  This family of mine is pretty special and we have the best time when the weekends roll around and we all get to be together.  February is stuffed with many family birthdays, of course- Valentines, and another special day around here… our anniversary.  How could one not love this month?  And… just in case you need a couple more reasons why…

Bubba
Lana is in love with our dog, Ziggy.  Typically when she goes missing… she can be found cuddling with the bubba.  Her favorite word is… you guessed it… bubba.  She walks around the house going… bubba, bubba, bubba.  While at the park the other day, we were surrounded by pigeons.  She was chasing after them, full speed ahead, chanting… bubba, bubba.  She was ready to jump the boardwalk in order to catch her prize.





Dress Up
A favorite past time around these parts.  A princess and a doctor… Brax and I will retire early!






The Little Men in our Lives
Man is Braxton in for a load of trouble when our two get a bit older (hopefully a LOT older).  They already love themselves some little boys… two in particular who we see quite frequently.  Giving away hugs like it ain’t no thing.  Lana has been known to pucker up and attack our little friend Caleb.  He’s a bit younger… but that doesn’t faze her.  Makes him an easier target.

I swear she is not eye-gauging him here... just trying to wake him from his peaceful slumber... which didn't work.






Gleason
There is a beautiful park, just a bike ride away, that we frequent quite often.  The girls love the playground, the lake, and everything else in between.  Ziggy even got a taste this weekend. 







Someone has a 3rd birthday coming up… less than a month away.  Really?!?  How did that happen?   Those words are uttered from my mouth every time a birthday rolls around.  Kaelyn has requested a Yo Gabba Gabba party.. . I have attacked Pinterest and can’t wait to pull it all together.  And just to solidify the theme of the party… we were watching Yo Gabba the other day and none other than Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros make a guest appearance.  With our anniversary being tomorrow, its totally a sign… they sang the song we had our first dance to at our wedding, and needless to say, we heart them!  Feeling the love around here!

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
