    La Quinta with our peeps

    We are so thankful to have had an awesome 4 day weekend with one of our favorite families who we are so abuntantly thankful for. Love our Martins. Woot Woot! We stayed in the compound resort they call La Quinta. It was perfect for our tribe. Open door, enter pool. And if you don’t like our screaming children there are 40 other pools to choose from yo’.

    This is how our vacay commenced. Don’t worry people, I lightened up.

     Weeman got all fired up on his McQueen bike with the big boys. 
    He was fierce y’all.
     ……….aaaand we have a jumper. All in one weekend. Booyah.
     The Martin’s!

     Aaron really liked the squirt guns. Like, a lot.

     Big B
     Straight face. HOLD IT. HOLD IT!!!!!
     Ok Silly faces.
    Nothing quite spells P.I.M.P. like P.I.N.K. cups. 
     Such a fun weekend. Thank you Lord for the gift of children and friendship. We can’t wait to do that again next year! xo
  • And I blinked.

    And I blinked.

    I knew I shouldn’t have done that. Baby girl is almost 6 months. I get a wee bit aggrivated when 6 month clothes don’t fit with as much as much generousity and flare. NO!!!! She cannot be 6 months! Yet, she is.
    I need to write some random things down in case this next surgery or the “next best drug” erases my memory along with the rest of my brain. Halle bear: a) I love you TO PIECES. You make my heart hurt. b)You are already funny. Following suit of your big brothers already. You know 2 things. You like to laugh, and you like yourself some milk. Like stat. We will work on manners when I get those down myself.  Your personality has flourished in a comical way these last few days, leaving me perplexed. So I laugh and scratch my head. For example-why is your older brother dancing like a rabies infested chimp so funny to you? You can’t stop laughing?!  Really-after the 400th time? You want nothing more than to eat your big toe. So THAT is why you hate your carseat. Stupid strap. You will always smile at the older lady in henry’s or costco smiling at you, mid tantrum or not, and this makes me melt. To end this note, I will say, I don’t know how I would have gotten through this year without you to look forward to. You didn’t need me half as much as I needed you. Praises to our loving God who has chosen me to me to be your mommy. I love you sweet baby girl.
    And I ran to your room 1st during the earthquake….. shhhhh, don’t tell.

    To celebrate 6 months of your precious life I decided to finally complete your nursery, kind of.
    Here are pics, don’t judge. I have a brain tumor!!!!!! (as my sweet Emily says)

     Thank you sweet Tina for making this AWESOME gift!!

  • Round 2:

    And yet still; His love for me is Holy.
    The last month the freak headaches have returned along with other wierd symptoms I won’t bore you with. An MRI was ordered and thankfully they found immediately that our unwelcome little friend has grown. Thank you Lord that you are driving this boat, and you know where we are headed. If I have learned anything, it is that I am nothing. And at the same time, reminded by scripture/ and our Pastor, how incredible it is that God would give us His special attention. We are so undeserving, unworthy, especially thinking of the many ways I fail on a daily basis to show my Savior how much I love him, and yet, His love for me is Holy. It is perfect, and being reminded of  the depth of His love is what I needed to get through this next surgery. Today I met with the surgeon, and after reviewing the MRI, he says July 27th is the date. So, if you know me and love me/ my husband/ my little people, please pray for us?
    -God to be glorified in this transaction.
    -We need prayer for the surgeon: His hands to be guided with God’s wisdom, to know how far to go without inflicting damage.
    -prayer for our marriage, that we would stand unified looking to God for our strength. Cause’ we ain’t gettin’ it from our vitamix.
    -our babes. pray they will adjust well, and we will figure out enough activities for them to do in the middle of summer to keep em busy.
    -Prayer for preparations to make a smooth transition from hospital to home to recovered.
    -smooth and speedy recovery.

    I am going to be real and say I am totally not looking forward to going through another surgery, however, remembering all the ways God led my family and I through each trial, and each victory made it a blessing. So, in a complicated way, I am looking forward to seeing how God will use this for His good purpose. We are all His anyway, right? Right. 🙂

  • Memorial Day weekend {fashionably late}

    Memorial Day weekend {fashionably late}

    The weekend kicked off to a fun start by shopping at the outlets. Chad pulled me away kicking and screaming just in time to get to our hotel in Indan Wells for some pool time. We welcomed the tornado that came along with that special time in the water. Windy pool time with a lightweight stroller and baby was a BLAST.
    The next few days were much more pool friendly. We were able to spend some time and meet up with sweet family,  jump on hotel beds, and do some family bonding while sweating like race horses.

     And she slept like a good baby.
     A good reason I shouldn’t be doing anything involving editing a photo. 

     WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS NO BINKIE.
     Setting up game #147 of Candyland. The new baseball. 
     Eating so many goldfish his button popped open. He is his mommy’s kid.
     Beautiful for so many reasons. 
     Can you believe the day is finally here when I can have fun in the pool with my squirts? Me either. Thank you water wings.
     Halle’s a fan.
     He’s a keeper yo.
    Precious. And creepy. Did we know Weeman sleeps with his eyes open?
     Mamabear and Halle. We like wear hats because someone said it’s a good thing. 
    Whatever you do-DON’T take off the goggles. Putting on goggles with one hand makes me sweat in regions I don’t think are legal to write about. So they listened.
