Florida 2015 - Part II

     I've pretty much filled my phone and my Instagram feed with pictures from this trip and today is only day three of eight! But seriously, who could blame me? I have two precious babies, one of them is visiting their great grandparents and great aunt for the first time, and we're on a gorgeous beach. If there was ever a time for lots of photo taking it's now!

Florida 2015 - Part I

"Are we there yet?!"

    Ashlyn has been absolutely loosing her mind with excitement. It probably started a week ago when she began counting down the days until our flight. Every hour or so she would ask me to tell her again how many more days.

He Just Keeps Growing

   My little man just keeps growing! Soon he will be crawling around, then walking, then off to college and before you know it he will be bringing home that special someone. #gasp 

Summer is Here

    It's a little more challenging finding the time to blog with two kids! Especially when one of them doesn't like to take daytime naps. So not only am I finding it hard to get to sit down to type out a blog update, I'm also finding it hard to come up with the brain power to write something! 

One Month & Two Months

    Time is flying by! My little man is already two months old. Can you believe it? He's growing up so fast. Part of me wants him to stop growing and stay this small forever. But then again, my favorite age has yet to come. 

A Whole New World

     The first couple months since he's been home have been a huge adjustment. Bringing home a new baby changes everything. Life comes to a screeching halt and your whole world revolves around one tiny little human all the sudden. It's like trying to learn to ride a bike all over again. Sometimes I seem to get it all right and I go merrily along the pathway, until I hit a bump and go tumbling head first off this bike and have to start all over again. Thankfully I have an amazing support team in my Husband and immediate family. 

We've Gone Camping

   I have to honestly say that I didn't think we would ever be the type of family to own a camper. I don't know why we wouldn't. I just didn't picture it really. It's cute though! And I think we will have lots of family adventures and memories made with this little camper.

A Rainy Day At The Park

      We probably picked the worst day in the past two months to go to the park. It was rainy, chilly, super muddy, and rainy. But despite all that we bundled up, dawned our rain gear, and headed to the park.

He's Here ; The Big Day

     I know I already told Landon's birth story, but I didn't share any photos or personal details from the day. Of course we took a bunch of photos! Who doesn't have a little personal camera (their smart phones) to capture those precious moments these days? 

He's Here ; The 9 Months

   It's crazy everything that can happen in just nine months. The time is takes for a little human to grow and be born inside of you seems like forever and also no time at all. Some days time just crawls by, and then one day (or middle of the night) you wake up and wonder where time has gone. It seems like just yesterday you were looking at that positive pregnancy test, having a minor anxiety attack, wondering how you're possibly going to be able to wait 9 more months to meet your baby!

Kids Say the Darnedest Things

   Ashlyn has finally hit the age where she is just saying and doing all these really funny and cute things. All day, every day. For example, today she decided to do my at home workout with me. Doing planks, push ups, sit ups, lunges, jumping jacks, bicycle crunches, and more. Of course, she modified all the movements to her like, but it was darn cute.

It has really been awhile...

   I'm not sure where I've been! Well, I do know.. but no excuses. I really want to keep up with this blog. It acts as a journal for me, one day I can share it with my family and kids when they are old enough to understand. But until then, I'm sharing with you!

A 90th Birthday

  My husband's grandfather just turned 90! He's an amazing man that has such a history and rich life story. For his 90th birthday a very large family/friend reunion and birthday party was planned in Midland, TX. Of course we went!

Easter 2013

   Easter this year was at the ranch again, as it has been for about the last... four years? Maybe only three. But! Everyone had as great of a time as we do every year. Maybe even a better time this year, at least for darling Ashlyn. She finally was able to really participate in the whole egg hunting part of Easter. The best part!

Pictures of Cuteness

  You know you can't resist! I have such adorable human and furry children. I love them all. Especially when they pose for photos.

A Walk A Day

  Everyday Ashlyn and I take a walk.... usually it's just around the block, but sometimes we pack up the stroller with some snacks, leash up Roque and head out for a long walk around the neighborhood.

In Other News

     Because I have an instagram account for my boy Roque, I now have a TON of photos of him... Which is great because I really haven't taken many photos of my animals recently. Either I'm too busy taking photos of Ashlyn or I'm too busy cleaning the house. One or the other usually makes up the majority of my time on a daily basis.

Toddler Toilet Training, Day 14

    Well, training is going well. She usually is really on top of it and rarely has accidents. I'm so excited that she took up potty training so easily. I was dreading the process for months and months, but she has made it a breeze!

Georgia, Weddings, Horses, and more!

A lot has been going on since I last posted on here! For example, hubby and I just got home from Augusta, Georgia where hubby was a groomsman in a friend's wedding.

Toddler Toliet Training Day 2,3, & 4

   Yup, I have the cutest kid in the whole world. And she's a super star to boot! Today is day four and she's already able to stay completely dry all day even when out shopping or out to dinner.
