Happy Birthday Kaelyn! It’s Dancey, Dance Time!

-
Not sure how it happened… but we have a three year old.  Every blink and this girl of mine grows an inch.  My sweet Kaelyn loves to dance and sing, complete puzzles faster than her parents, say hi to anyone who will reciprocate...and even those who don’t, sing her ABCs and count.  She is timid and independent.  Loves her bike, the outdoors, her parents and sissy, and of course her most precious possession, her baby.    




My smarty pants loves to learn and interact. This girl of mine is stubborn, doesn’t break easily.  She sleeps with a slew of friends, including her baby, Sally, Peppa the pig, Foofa, and teddy bear.  Not so original in the name department… likes to keep it simple.  Her little hair is long enough now to put into two tiny pigtails.  And most recently... she showed the potty who is boss.  


 She is my beautiful first born.  She made me a mamma… the best title out there.  Brax and I were talking the other night… we barely remember what life was like before she came along.  She and her sister are our world… and they make it absolutely beautiful. 



 Kaelyn was uber excited for her “Gabba Party.”  As the day neared, we giggled with excitement, discussing all the loved ones who were coming especially to celebrate her.  And when I mentioned the presents… her little face broke into this priceless grin. 

The timidness of my sweet three year old took over on party day.  She played with her cousins as we party prepped and when the guests started arriving she hung on the couch… watching her new “gabba friends” with a protective eye, making sure sis did not snatch one.  Those five plastic characters were supposed to be a party decoration but may quite possibly have been her favorite gift from the whole day.





We celebrated with the perfect mix of family and friends.  I have tried to tone it done some when it comes to the party throwing, but damn Pinterest gets me every time.  This was such a fun party to plan and celebrate!































Happy Birthday to our little Gabba friend.




To quote our favorite DJ Lance, “Thanks for coming, We’ll see you next time!”

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
