Poor thing

Juliet's dad died. My heart just aches for her. Poor thing has so much to face...mourning for her dad, funeral arrangements, bills to pay, paperwork to sort. Divorced, and she was his only child...so it all falls on her itty bitty shoulders.

Lord, I lift juliet to you...please guide her, carry her, through this journey. I know she is not alone, I know You will take care of her, and continue to be the Father that you have been to her each day.

Let us all count our blessings....for our lives our such a gift.

Playgroup egg hunt

Shane's playgroup had an adorable egg hunt. Each of us brought 10 or so eggs to scatter around Amy's yard.


Have to say, Shane wasn't too interested. He preferred playing with the balls in the backyard and crawling in grants wagon.

Caleigh didn't have school this day. She felt so special and grown up as she was the helper to hide the eggs.



The kids were tooooo cute!

Girls!

So here's a typical play session with the girls. They even set up my phone up in a table so they could record themselves.

Thank you God for blessing me with these kids, and this life. I am truly humbled.

Big big show

Cal for her costume for the big big show. She is thrilled! Her class will be dancing to "knock on wood" and the best part...the finale-"Gangnam style". Hard to believe this is caleighs third year dancing. That girl (and momma) beam with pride when she takes the stage.

Time is flying.

Time is going by so quickly. How can my Shaney be 2 in may!? My heart just aches as I think of how quickly he is growing up. He is communicating, talking, joking...so responsive, so interactive...and just so damn cute. It's hard to believe we even contemplated a third, I can not imagine my life without all this beautiful chaos.

Today is one of those days I just really want to freeze time.

Play ball

Bella is playing softball for the first time this year. 5 great friends of hers are on the team from OA. Poor thing had NO clue how to hit a ball, throw a ball , catch a ball when this began.

Buuuuut she absolutely loves it! I think she's gettin the hang of it. She hit all the coach pitches today (after the 5th miss, they take out the T), and for 2 people out. She was SO proud of herself. So awesome.

My dad came down to cheer her on today. Brings back so many memories of him playing sports with me, jenni and course playing baseball with Kevin.

Really love that he makes the effort.

St pattys

I freaking love st pattys day. Can't wait til the kiddos wake up tomorrow!!

A Bella weekend

Decided to have a little date with each of the girls... One on one. Bella's date was this last weekend. She said she really wanted to go swimming. We were headed to beautiful Coronado. ( and this weekend was awesome weather)

Got a deal for Loews resort. I've only been there for a wedding. Nice resort. We check into our room and first thing Bella wants to do is unpack. She is so like her daddy. Top drawer, morning clothes, middle drawer-day time clothes, and last drawer, night time clothes. This girl!!!



We played in the pool for hours. I mean I swam and played for hours. I don't think I've done that in like 10 years?! I was throwing her, racing her, playing spider web. We played hard.



Next stop was out to dinner...she wanted Italian, so we hit up village pizza with a killer view. We had such a nice time chatting, visiting...


After dinner, we walked around...did a little shopping. Bella asked if we could get matching shell necklaces so we could remember the weekend. Awww.



Sleepover, just us back at the hotel.



Next morning, Bella asked if we could order room service...sure, why not!?



There was a phone in the bathroom and a phone in the room. Each time one of us went to the bathroom, we sang "call me maybe" and the other would pick up the line.





Next stop, boomers-mini golf and arcade.





The best part of the trip...bell coming home and running to a secret spot to give me something! She runs and gets me a THANK U CARD!!! Omg. I was dying. She wrote it before we left...



I asked her how she knew we would have fun, and she said, "cuz I always have fun with you mom".

Ohhhh. Love this girl. Cherish this weekend with her.

Excited for caleighs weekend too.
