Welcome SUMMER!!!

So it's been a few days since I last posted! I feel like I have been sosos busy. For Fathers day, we pretty much spent it running around to different family get togethers. As important as family is...we will have to do things a little different next time... We came home around 11pm exhausted! The kids did not get naps, so they were all screams and grumpy pants when we got home! I Love family, but there comes a point where you have to sssllllooowww down. Especially since it was on a Sunday, which should be a day of rest. When we went to bed around midnight we both agreed that that was the moment we were finally resting all day. Not cool...I think every newer developing family goes through this stage of learning and finding out you can't be as "flittery" (for lack of a better word lol) as you were when you were dating. I love having kids and learning as I go...so anyways...now it's Friday already!! I Love Fridays!! Why? Because it means my Love is home ALL weekend! I Love having Ben home...He is so sweet and patient and fun and loving and helpful and happy and..ya I could go on and on! But I honestly do look forwards to the weekends for that one thing!

So Tuesday it was almost 100 degrees outside...so my sister and I decided that it was a great Beach day! Se we headed out to our local beach and had a great time!! Ayden still hates the water :( I need some ideas on what I can do to make him enjoy it!! He loves bath time, but that's it. But after he and Isaiah had fun in the sand (which included a face plant with a stick face) we decided it was time for them to sleep...so we could lay out lol...Ayden was so wiped, that after watching kids play in the water, he fell fast asleep...Zachariah, on the other hand, wanted to be held the whole time because he was in pain from having his circumcision dine that morning!

The best part of my week so far was that night my husband got me a rose and told me he had a surprise for me on Thursday.. My guess was that it was going to be a date night or something...but he had asked me about a month ago, what some of my dreams were as well as "what were some things I would like to do" in life. So I gave him my list and one of the things I most desired was to do Ballet again. I had done it about 4 or 5 years ago, but became to busy. So anyways, he surprised me with ballet classes every Thursday! I was pretty shocked! He had it all set up for me, so I dropped the kiddos off at my sisters and went to my first class yesterday! It was sosososo much fun! To actually have an hour to do something I have been desiring to do for awhile now, was such a blessing! I got to meet some more awesome ladies and have a really awesome dance instructor! Thanks again Lovey!!




 Here are just some random pictures!!
I took these pictures of my oldest baby Ayden! He is 14 months old, and we pulled him up to the the table (instead of his highchair) for the first time last night. It was so cute to watch him feel like a big boy as he sat there and ate. We handed him a fork and he actually fed himself! It was bitter sweet because I realized that he is not gonna be my little baby for much longer :( But like my Pastor said this week, "we are not raising them to be children, we are raising them to be adults".
Side Note: these are from my camera phone so they are a tad blurry :)
