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!

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. ...

Good-Bye 2015

Happy New Year!  We actually stayed awake long enough this year to say good-bye to 2015.  We even made it out which I don't think has happened since we had our two beauties.  You better believe the minute that clock hit midnight we were hailing the first Uber driver available to get us home.  This was mainly due to Kaelyn being awoken by the barrage of fireworks and not being able to settle until she had her mama passed out in her bed. We said good-bye to Nonnie yesterday after a week and a half of time together.  We were able to celebrate Christmas and say hello to the New Year together and it was oh so special.  Aunt Kelly and Ethan also joined in on the fun for a few days. Nonnie brought all of these presents We watched our tree, Dingo (Kaelyn named him), be hauled off yesterday and have taken down the last twinkling light.  We didn't let the year and the warm weather leave us without a final trip to our favorite spot. ...

How Did We Get Here?!? Kaelyn’s First Day of Preschool (and some serious catching up!)

I had no intention of putting my eldest daughter in school this year.  I figured I would reap the last drops of my sweet girl before she began the never-ending journey that is her education.  I have a sappy heart and for selfish reasons didn't want to let my girl go.  Well after a discussion with Kaelyn on the prospect of school and the enthusiasm she didn't try to hide from weak old mom... I decided to let my little bird fly.   After asking around and checking it out online we decided on a local school that just so happened to have two available spots… one for Kaelyn and one for her bestie, Luke.   After touring the school… Kaelyn was sold and there was no looking back.   Which brings us to today.   Kaelyn marched down the hallway and made herself at home in her new classroom.     I was the mom that was in the car loop twenty minutes early after the longest three hours of my life.   She  got in the car and proceeded ...
