Jumping Back on the Horse

Sort of.


Its not uncommon for me to drop out of the blogging world from time to time. Life just got busy. Too busy. Work this fall was insane. I went and got pregnant. And apparently second babies suck the life out of you and you have the same bedtime as your toddler. True story.


So the blog went to the wayside. I want to pick back up, to document things for myself, and I know I have family that likes the picture updates of G, because, well, even posting on IG went to the wayside too. But I am also not holding myself to an amount of posts a week or a month. When I have time or there are things to share I will be making an effort, but if the cards don't fall into place, that's ok too!


So, lets catch up:


August
- We celebrated Layla's 9th birthday (since we may have missed her 8th)
- G got his second haircut (first "real" haircut)
- We took Grayson and Hayes to their first circus
- We found a house that we loved/put our house on the market
- G belly flopped his way through the end of summer

September
- Grayson started in the toddler class
- We closed on our new home
- I did an awesome bloggers event in California
- We found out our bestests were having a baby AND its a BOY!
- G got his second set of tubes

October
- We started moving things into the new house, slowly but surely & getting things painted etc.
- We took G to his first pumpkin patch & Painted a pumpkin with him
- We celebrated Halloween with our Supper Club friends

November
- We continued to work on the new house
- Battled Hand Foot Mouth and another wicked virus
- Went to the Zoo

- Spilled the Beans about Baby #2
- Visited Santa... which didn't go all that well this year

December
- Continued to work on the house... see a trend here? Pretty sure this will be ongoing for a while!

And now its 2017... and I have no idea how it happened. Looking forward to everything that this year will bring!

Friday Five

Another week has come and gone - craziness. Life is busy right now. So so busy, but we are trying to savor all the moments as we are speeding along.


Mu favorite things from this week:


1. Sweet Sarah Lucia made her debut to the world. Our 9th Supper Club baby is here! And I am itching to see that sweet girl! Only one more sleep until I get to hold her and see her beautiful face!


2. Hayes is Wild One. We got to finally celebrate Hayes' birthday after his party being postponed a few weeks back. Jojo did such an amazing job - and the birthday boy was ready to party!

3. Arm Candy. 

I received this fabulous JORD watch in the mail this week. I knew I loved it online, but I love it even more than I thought! J has complimented me on it several times already and even asked if they have "dude watches". ::Spoiler Alert!:: I foresee these watches becoming a go to gift in the upcoming holiday season. I have my eye on this one, this one and this one for myself. And maybe others if I feel like being generous. What about this one for J? It would look great with a suit, don't you think? Or this one? So many options. I'll take one of each, please. All the heart eyes in the world!




4. Kara's Party Ideas.  G's party got picked up this week on Kara's blog. I am not going to lie, Once I got going with party planning, I secretly hoped that Kara would feature his party on her blog. Fangirl much.. maybe just a little bit - ha! Amber's 30th Movie Party I threw also had been featured on her blog a few years ago. The things that make me happy. Insert eye roll here.

5. We've got a walker. I stopped in at G's school in the afternoon on Tuesday just to say hi. After being gone the week before I love seeing him any extra minute I can .. Anyway, when I opened the door to his classroom and he was walking with a little walker, he saw me, and turned to the door walking.. more like running to see me. I about cried. No lie. And the craziest part was that I had dreamt this exact thing the week before while I was in Arizona. Cray. Every day he is navigating better and better.


please excuse the mama voice in the video!

Happy weekend to you, friends!

Summer Family Session

Literally, every single time we do a photo session with Stephanie Rose, I cannot wait to see the images. She is so good. Like so, so, so good. Even if I feel like the session was awful, she captures the sweetest moments. I love her... shall I go on???


Its hard to choose just a few to share, but I did my best to choose.
