love for my girl

I love this beautiful silly girl

the park-complete with video

Remember in the last post how I said I was about to take AK to the park because the weather was so amazing? Well, it really was. We had a lot of fun...until the humidity got to be a tiny bit too much...and Isabelle started throwing a fit cause she needed a nap...yeeeeah.

My adventurous, scared of nothing little girl loves, and I mean LOOOVES, the tire swing. She loves for me to prop myself on one side to level it out and stick my foot through the middle to the ground and spin us as fast as I can for as long as I can take it. She would seriously do this all day. It's crazy. I can't take it too long before my head hurts but it was worth it for the following pics.





We spun and spun and spun...then she "flew" on the swing...then sat like a normal kid and let me push her on the swing-but of course it was higher and faster than I was comfortable with-cause that's how she likes it...then she did some dare devil stunts on the little motorcycle looking thing. Yeah, she's bad, and she knows it, she's bad, and she shoooows itttt!

I love that girl!

And for your viewing pleasure

lately...

Man, I go from one "catch up" post to having to do another cause I keep slacking. Things around here have been crazy. From traveling out of town almost every weekend to a Bible study I'm currently doing, I feel so out of bloggy world touch. I'll get better, I promise.

So, what you've missed, lets see. We took the girls on a glass bottom boat ride a couple of weekends ago. THAT was FUN! We'll definitely have to do it again because we were rushed for time as we were going out of town immediately following.





AK is on a super hero kick.


We enjoyed a trip to Waco this weekend. I took pics of AK and my niece Kylee. They are 3.5 months apart and I LOVE that they are so close in age.



While in Waco I went to a JBF sale and scored 9 shirts, 2 dresses and a pair of pants for about $40. Check out the two matching sweaters at the top...er...top/bottom...of the stack. I was sooo excited to get those. I can't wait for AK and Issy to wear them. Teehee. In two more weekends I'm going to hit up the one in Round Rock.


We just found out last Friday that my husband's job just went to four day work weeks. Thankfully he still has a job because there were quite a few people who were temporarily let go. Although I should probably feel a bit anxious about him losing a whole work day, which equals about $530 a month!, I'm pretty peaceful about it and even a little excited that he'll get to spend an extra day with us. I feel positive that it was God's timing for our family and I'm not fretting.

Both girls have been sick for a few days. HORRID cough, cranky on and off, sneezing, stuffy nose. Issy started this up literally right as she was getting over a double eye infection. It hasn't been very fun. Their symptoms usually magnify during the sleeping hours but I've been trying my hardest to combat it. I hope they get better soon. I feel so bad for them when they have those yucky coughing attacks.

Okay, I think I'm caught up now and hoping I can stay that way. Hope you enjoyed our time together ;-).

Since it's only 75 degrees outside right now I'm about to head out and take the girls to the park. I'm so excited about the beauty of it all. EEK!

to catch you up

So, I never came back and posted about AK's birthday party. Just to ease your curious mind it was great. She had a lot of fun even though she was really tired from hardly sleeping the night before due to uncontrollable excitement about her party. She loved the water slide, having her cousins & friends there and all the fun presents she got. To see her smile is like the best thing ever.


Isabelle turned SEVEN MONTHS on the first but I haven't gotten around to posting about it yet. I might just wait until she's eight months depending on when I get around to that. She's as sweet as you please though.


Guess what?! Our little family finally got a car! YAAYYY! We got it last Friday and left Saturday morning for Victoria, Texas. Sean has family there so we went to visit. It was so nice to see them. We haven't been since I was pregnant with Isabelle. They finally got to meet our sweet pea and of course they loved her.

We spent a while at the zoo with fam. It was lots of fun and lots of heat. I was happy when we left...in our car...with amazing a/c. Teehee.


I have a feeling we'll be out of town a lot. We love to travel and I'm so thankful that we FINALLY can safely do so.

We're home now and I'm wondering when mommies get a labor day...you know...besides the day they go into labor? I'm trying to withhold from waking my husband up from his nap just to ask when I'm getting one...

Happy Labor Day you hard laborers out there.

AK's birthday day...

Anna-Kate's third birthday has come and gone but the party is still to come. It was a pretty chill day for the most part. At one point she was acting like such a sassy pants. It's like she KNEW it was time for her to up the ante. Silly girl.

Daddy came home with her first ever bouquet of flowers and a balloon. It was SO very precious! He is such an amazing girl daddy. I couldn't have asked for a better man.


After we all got dressed we headed out to pick up chick-fil-a, per birthday girl's request, and we headed on over to The Jumpy Place for a little family fun. At one point we were the only people in there. It was pretty awesome.


When we came home she got a bath, snacked on some more of her dinner while she watched a video and then she went straight to bed. She was so tired.

Tomorrow is her birthday party. We rented a water slide from a local owner. It's waaay more affordable than going through an actual company. I found this awesome deal on loanables.com. You create an account and search things to borrow for a price set by the lender. You can also post things to lend. It's pretty cool. So yeah, we are renting a little tikes inflatable water slide for like $55!! Totally beats $225! I'm so excited.

Pictures to come.
