Summer Picnic

Had a nice little family picnic at the Dallas Arboretum the other day! Packed our lunch and went early to try to beat the heat but by the time we left the heat beat us! We still had fun venturing around and trying to take family pictures! The boys are finally standing still long enough to snap a picture! Which makes my mommy heart happy! We cooled off with snow cones afterwards and lunch at our fave... In-n-Out of course! Summer lovin with my boys is the best!

Luke's 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Luke's 3rd birthday on Saturday! We went in his room in the morning and sang him Happy Birthday! He lit up as soon as he walked out and saw the table setting. It was the sweetest thing watching how excited he was for his birthday. Then we took him out for donuts and chocolate milk! We made it a tradition to treat our boys to chocolate milk on the day of their birthday so we went to West Oak and got chocolate milk on tap! Yummy! Later that day we had friends and family over for dinner and cake. The kiddos had a blast decorating their own cupcakes, hitting the pinata and running around together. My favorite part of the day was when Luke walked up to me in the kitchen and said, "thank you mom my birday, gimmie a hug." I'm so blessed and grateful that I get to be his mommy. He fills me with so much joy, his smile from that day is embedded in my heart forever.

Farewell Summer 2014

Well Summer has come and gone...

Ok, ok... Theres still almost a month left but lets face it, school starting totally marks the end of it and it should be kind enough to take this heat with it too! Ain't nobody got time for you heat!

But summer did bring many sweet memories, here's a recap and a list of some highlights!

Celebrated our 5 Year Anniversary
Paddle boarded.
Left the boys for two whole nights for the first time!
Mommy cut her, daddy shaved his off and Luke and Noah need haircuts!
I grew a garden and then watched it die. (I don't want to talk about it.)
Swam under a waterfall.
Noah learned to crawl.
Luke started talking, a lot!
I weaned Noah.
I started my period! (TMI but this is a big deal because I didn't have a period for like 3 years because I've been pregnant and breastfeeding this whole time!)
Luke turned 2!
Noah got his first tooth.
Nick got his first tattoo.
Daddy got a few gigs designing logos and such.
We had many Dallas dates.
Coffee. Enough said.
Went to the Perot for the first time.
Made an adult fort in our living room and camped in the great indoors.
Baked, brewed, baked, brewed, repeat.
Shows we got hooked on: The Killing, American Ninja Warrior, Naked and Afraid, Nathan for You, Sesame Street, Thomas and Calliou. (The last three were not by choice.)
Favorite Meal of the Summer: Franklin's BBQ. Duh.
