2,190 Days

Do you remember this post? Well our sixth anniversary came and went. I don't know how we evolved from two to four in just six years but somehow we did.

For this years timeline..

Book Review: Princess Academy

The clubies and I just chatted over this read last week. We liked it. It was cute, unpredictable and we were all happy with the ending. It's the perfect young adult coming of age story. Plus I loved knowing I was supporting a local author. I also read Shannon Hale's Austenland. Loved that one even more.

Easter 2013

Easter is Milly's kind of holiday. She participated in three Egg Hunts. Ate lots and lots of candy and woke up to a new dress on Easter Sunday. I want her life.

Milly age 3. Mack age 6 months. I love these little kids.

Baby Animal Days 2013

Oh Milly,
I love how excited you get over things, things like baby animals. You looked forward to this day all week and you were delirious over every little animal. This was a big day for you. You pet every animal you could and even caught a fish in the pond. I was glad you were excited about getting on the horse and then not backing down when you felt nervous. You are a brave and charming girl.

Keep being you baby girl.

I love you with all of my heart,

Love Mama

Am I The Only Mom without an iPhone?

Over the weekend we took our kids to the famous Baby Animal Days. Milly was in heaven. I was in Mommy guilt Hell because I forgot my camera.
Milly took a little horse back ride and wore a purple barbie helmet while riding. It was the most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life, I mean I was beaming. Mason was right by her and I was off to the side with Mack. Mason yells over to me, "Hey, get out your phone out and take a picture." I looked at him like, hello Mason have you seen my phone? He knows my purple little phone can't manage a picture more than five inches away from the desired object. Needless to say I was embarrassed on a few levels. I really need to step into this century and get a better phone. If you are shopping for a new phone as I am you can find more here.

There she is. What a beut.

Movie Review: Admission

I LOVED it! I went and saw this flick over the weekend with my mom and sisters. Do you realize that means I saw a movie in the theater on opening weekend? Mir..ac..le! You know I love Tina Fey, that's been established, and she was good, real good. But Paul Rudd, you will absolutely fall in love with him. This movie is funny, touching and surprisingly unpredictable. Go see it!

A Vacation

Mason and I keep throwing around the idea of a vacation. We scrolled through our memories the other night and realized we hadn't been on a real live vacation since 2008. A sad story. We have friends that just got back from San Diego. Envy ruled my body for a minute then I humbled myself enough to ask, "Did you have fun, what did you do?"

Their list of attractions included Sea World, The San Diego Zoo, and the beach. The beach, can you imagine? It sounded like San Diego would be a perfect little family get away. If you are lucky enough to live in that area San Diego Tutoring happens to be a great resource.
Like who wouldn't want to see Shamu? I mean really.
