xoxo.My little Valentines

Prepping for Zoes school Valentines party has been so fun, the kids each happily wrote their Valentines (Jude did some for Zoes classmates as well since he will attend her party), filled the party goodie bags, and decorated cookies. 

Why "No"...?

Today while driving on the freeway to run errands, I rolled down all four windows and let the warm wind hit our faces and mess up our hair. I drove speechless for fifteen minutes while holding back my tears as I looked in my rear view mirror at the beaming smile and constant thumbs up from my girl. My tears were a mix of happy and sad tears. 

First Beach trip of 2016

We spent Sunday morning with our suits on and sand between our toes,living in San Diego near the beach is such a blessing, and our first trip for 2016 didn't disappointing! 

We all screamed for Ice Cream...

Hammond's Ice Cream in North Park was exactly what we all were craving on this 75 degree Saturday in February!

We are cousins who were raised more like sisters. At 3 weeks apart (Elyse older) we have gone through just about every stage of life together. I cannot remember many monumental milestones that didn't include her smiling face. 

The BIG question...

Why baby number 3...?

It is pretty crazy how when you announce baby number one everyone rejoices, they throw parades in your honor, shower you with congratulations,buy you gifts, and party like its 1999. Baby number two is still super exciting for most with maybe a little less partying, but when baby number three is announced you would think you just told the world you were about to end your life and say goodbye to any dreams you ever had.Some people treat you like your a crazy person,and view you as irresponsible for bringing to many little humans into the world.
