Fall is near

Being the last day of August it's a freezing (in my opinion) 52 degrees right now. I got word this morning that Starbucks released their fall beverages this morning. My favorite drink the Pumpkin spice latte is back as well as salted caramel hot chocolate or mocha (so yummy) and the new drink a toffee mocha. I'm in trouble here Starbucks why my you tempt me in so many ways. I've been so good staying away from you and limiting myself to one drink a week. Needless to say I'll be hitting up the drive thru before going to work this afternoon.

Got the keys to the new house on Sunday. Last night my dad came over and took a truck load of boxes over. We were planning on taking another load tonight, but it's raining today and I don't want our stuff getting wet. The moving truck will be here on Saturday. Can't wait to get everything moved in a unpacked. Hope you all enjoy the last days of summer since fall is near.

Livi & Lexi

Over this last week every time Livi takes a nap or goes to bed for the night she wants Lexi, our little family dog to sleep with her. I snapped the above photo this afternoon I thought it was precious.

Baby food

This evening I decided to feed Gidian some pears. He eats rice cereal, but isn't to fond of it so I thought we'd give baby food a go. He loved them! Figure I'll stick with the pears for a few days then give him some applesauce followed by sweet potatoes. Pretty much keeping it in the same order which I gave Livi when she was a baby. Over the past week Gidian has been trying to sit up on his own. He can lean forward in his bouncy seat and sit up all by himself and has sat up on the couch but he falls forward when not in his bouncy seat. He has a bumbo seat, but they never really worked for my kids, they both have thunder thighs so it's hard to wedge them in there then when taking them out you have to hold the seat with your foot and pull them out.
I've been on a mission for the past few weeks to locate jean-leggings for Livi. I have the hardest time finding jeans that her and my friend, Erin came to the salon a few weeks back and her daughter had leggings on that looked like jeans. Pockets embroidered on them and all. I found a pair at Target in the little girls section (size xs and they fit ekk she's not even three yet slow down baby girl you're growing to fast) I grabbed a pair they weren't exactly what I wanted, but they worked. So I was shopping on Macys.com and came across the exact one I was looking for and they were $9/pair I bought her four pairs. Two dark blue and two black. They are adorable and will go perfectly with her Uggs for winter. Feeding him pears (DON'T MIND THE MESSY HOUSE TRYING TO PACK THINGS EVERYWHERE)

Swinging

Last night after work Matt and I took the kids to the park. At 7 pm when we went it was still 87 degrees out. It's been really hot the last few days and it's going to cool down by this weekend. Which will be nice I've been putting off packing since it's been so warm in the house. We have a/c which makes it comfortable but it's still to warm to pack.
I put Gidian in the infant swing at the park. He enjoyed it and sat up in it really well. He would get the biggest smile when Matt would push him and while watching Livi swing next to him.

Anniversary

I worked for a few hours today then we went out to lunch for our anniversary. Matt's been working a lot lately so we couldn't be out to long. He had to get some sleep before work tonight. I woke up to a beautiful arrangement of flowers and a card thanks babe! I really wish we could have spent the day outside it's 97 degrees out way to hot for the kiddos. So we're just hanging out in the air conditioned house and I'm taking a break from packing.




6 years

Six years ago today Matt and I said I DO! I know I say it a lot on here but it amazes me how quiclky time goes by. Seems like yesterday I was hanging with my bridesmaids getting all dolled up and now we have two kiddos! I love both my kids so much, but what I'd give to have the body I had when I got married back. I thought I looked fat then I'd kill to look like that again.

Park playdate

The last two days we've spent the afternoon at a local park. I love this new park near us. Not to many people are aware of it so it's never that busy. Yesterday we met up with my friend, Bree and her two kids. Then this afternoon we headed back to soak up some much needed Vitamin D. My little family and only one other lady and her kids were there today. I really like this park because it has toys aimed more at the younger kids in one part and a area with bigger toys as well. She's into posing for photos lately













Love my new tattoo ;)








Last week

Sorry I haven't updated much lately. Just trying to get back into the swing of things since last week was so busy. My aunt flew into town last Wednesday the same day Matt flew out of town. I had five days off so the kids and I were able to spend a lot of time with Linda and my folks. The weather was pretty nice as well. Then when the kids were napping or down for the night I'd be packing. How I wish I could just snap my fingers and all the packing would be done and my house would be spotless. I hate packing but am so thrilled to be moving in two weeks. Major photo over load since I haven't updated in a week. I love this dress got it at Target for $1
