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!”

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 ...
