Welcome to our life
OUR GROWING FAMILY
Mothers day was great. I am so lucky to have an awesome husband and kiddies that like to celebrate the day. Flowers, a sweet card and some quality time were at the top of my favorites list this year.
That morning we had the kids dedication at church. Our whole family was there! Such an amazing feeling to know that we have the love and support of them as we navigate through raising our children to love Jesus in this world we live in. Its great that we have friends and family that can hold us and them accountable and be there to support them as they grow and start to venture out more:(
Logan was a hot mess that morning, waking up at 5:45. By the time of the dedication he was sleep deprived and wanted us all to know about it. Daddy did great keeping his composure and saying some super sweet things about our little babies!! Directly after the dedication ceremony Logan had a major blowout and had to change into the almost too small winter clothes I had packed as spares at the bottom of the diaper bag.
After church we had lunch with my parents and then this momma got a nap! *Highlight of the day*
The rest of the day included plenty of outside play and a little family dinner at home.
I cherish these times with our sweet kiddos as I know that all too soon they will be grown and have families of their own.
Thank you Jesus for blessing me with the two most special human beings I know.
Man!!! Now that spring has finally decided to arrive, we can get out and enjoy it!
We have been out every afternoon after naps this week and have been loving it. Its a good thing Kinseys bff lives next door because that girl doesnt like to play alone!
We even broke out the sprinkler and swim suits and the girls went crazy!! I love watching them have a blast! Kinsey and Kenliegh had a contest to see who could run up and touch the alligators head! That does equal a blast in the face with water but when there is a competition you have to get brave:) Logan was asleep for most of this but did wake up long enough to come out and get soaked!
One afternoon we brought out Kinseys kitchen set and cooked outside. I brought some pots and pans out and was served pancakes!:) Love her imagination. Logan liked this and they played together for quite awhile. In fact I may have even gotten a tan!:)
I sure hope this weather is here to stay because a girl could get used to this:)
Now that Im chasing two littles around, it seems like the individual attention that each gets is cut in half. Now thats because it it. Theres only one of me and two of them.......math skills people:)
Anyway we have been trying to get a little one on one time with the kiddies lately.
This week Kinsey and I had a girls date. Haircut for her, shopping and a special drink. Its truely amazing how the little things really add up. She just loved that she got me all to herself.
Every girl needs a little pampering. This is only her second hair cut and we cut almost 4 inches off. Whoa baby! And even added in some long layers. Big girl! Once she was all dolled up we headed to target to shop for a friends birthday gift and then stop by the slushy machine.
It really did my heart some good to leave the boys behind for an evening and focus on my special girl. My prayer is that we continue these special dates and that our bond stays this strong throughout her life.
Love you princess!!
Last weekend I packed my bags (along with 10 other gal pals) and headed out to Vegas. Props to a super organized and plan aheader friend, who headed up this big party! She turned 30 just a short while ago so we went out to celebrate!
I have never been to Vegas so this was a ton of fun! We left Thurs and came back Sun evening. A ton of fun was packed into that short weekend.
Sight seeing, dining, drinking, chatting, tanning were only a few of the things we accomplished
The weather was amazing and it felt great to sit back and relax and soak up some sun. Amazing what it does for the soul just to detach mentally for a few days
Dont get me wrong, we did our fair share of activity. I swear one day we walked for 10 hours straight........ok prob not that much but it totally felt like it. There is just so darn much stuff to see.
All dressed up.......ps heels suck in a town that requires so much walking :)
Everything is so big and grand in Vegas. If you havent been its a must see.
I came back recharged and renewed.
As awesomely wonderful as it is to get away, there is nothing more that I love than coming home to my hubby and sweet babies. Josh jokes that I would probably be ok with never leaving Sedgwick County. No way.......ok maybe:)
Wow boys are so different! Kinsey is almost 3 and a half and has had one haircut. As of recently Logan gets his hair cut every 2 or 3 weeks!!!
His hair is so stinkin cute but grows SO fast. So every other weekend or so daddy takes in on the back deck and puts him in his high chair with a pile of marshmallows and goes to town.
He sure does look grown up with a fresh hair cut!
So sweet and mature looking.
Makes this momma a little sad. But its so fun watching him grow and experience new things!
Well hes now 14 and a half months old and Logan has started to walk. Not very steady and still prefers the butt scoot but now we know he at least CAN walk. What a sweet boy you are!! So stinking cute to watch him take those few steps. This video was a couple of weeks ago but he can take about 10 to 12 steps at once. Mostly when he has either me or Josh in front of him encouraging him along.
Before long he will be running!
Wow.....Im totally behind on this blogging thing. I need to get better at keeping up but lately i kinda feel like Im doing good to get myself out of bed, dressed, kids dressed and fed.
I promise I will soon regain energy and feel back to normal......or this just may be my new normal. I sure hope not!:)
Easter was last weekend and we sure celebrated! This year Kinsey was actually able to grasp, at least at a basic level, what Easter was about. Its so cute to hear her tell us that the tomb is empty and Jesus is alive!! Melt my mommy heart in a million pieces.
Anyways......we went over to a friends house on Friday and made resurrection bread, colored eggs and had a small hunt. The kids had a blast. Kinsey gathered the fewest eggs but I am mostly sure this is do to the fact that the grass was wet and there was a small amount of mud that she thought may get her dirty. Love my girly girl. The boys plowed right through it and dug into the candy faster than the moms could keep up!! I love that I have friends who thoughtfully plan such cute things for the kiddies. We are a lucky group of peeps!
On Sunday we got all gussied up and went to church. Easter service is always so renewing. After church Joshs parents came over along with aunt Megan and brought the kids a bunch of Easter goodies. Wow my kids are so loved!! Kinsey got some fun new spring clothes, candy, stickers and a game. Logan scored with some new spring clothes, snackies and new dinosaurs. Its so cute to watch him say "roar" when he picks them up!!
After that the weather was soo nice that Josh and I worked in the yard during naptime. Weeding, edging, and just cleaning things up. My family came over that evening for a hot dog roast and brought more goodies for the kiddies. Did I mention our kids are so loved?
Kinsey loves nothing more than spending time with "uncle tommy" Its so cute to watch them two together. We had a blast sitting by the fire pit enjoying the weather, watching basketball and just enjoying the day!
I love that we are able to actually stop and enjoy this life sometimes. Its something we should do way more often. We are such a lucky family and my heart is full right now!
Hope everyone had a fab easter!
