Weekend trip with the family. Lots of pics!

This weekend we went away for a family wedding! A 5/6 hour drive away! 

Baby k loves road trips. He was so good both ways. Having snacks, sleeping, playing. My mom came with us on the way there and baby k had her serve him snacks ha! 

The wedding was so much fun. We had a great time spending 3 days with family. 

The night we got there we all went to a delicious Italian restaurant. Mmm!

 

 With live music 

The next morning we all went for breakfast then headed back to the hotel to get ready for the church! 

Baby k loved being with his cousins for 3 days. 

Seriously these 2 are too cute for words! 

The ceremony was beautiful! 

We had a shuttle bus from the hotel to the hall which was great! We didn't need to worry about driving and designated drivers! 

We had a great time at the wedding! 

And so did baby k! He was pooped by 10pm and slept the rest of the night! 

We danced and laughed the night away ha! We had such a fun time together. 

The next day we all had breakfast together and headed downtown for a nice walk. 

Who knows when a trip like this will happen again! We all had a blast! 

My 22 month old loves

Avocado! We all know this ha! He calls them ADO and if we are out of them I'm in trouble! 

He has one for breakfast everyday! He also loves sweet pepper he eats a whole pepper on his own! I can't complain at all about him and eating other than,  I can barely keep up sometimes. 

When he sees me pull out food to cook he wants it now! So I need to hide certain things and only show him once it's cooked! The best line from him. "Mama cook" ha! 

I still can't believe how the time is just flying by and he'll be 2 in 2 months!!! 

His vocabulary is expanding learning at least 1 new word a day! Today it was 3! Chocolate (chacchac) , mess, and fly. He loves planes so today while we were at the toy store he spotted this helicopter fan at the checkout and wouldn't let it go. He keeps saying Aaapee flyyyy (airplane fly)

I don't want to forget a thing! I've been so blessed to have spent some extra time home with him. Seeing him and all his firsts. It's the most precious gift I've ever had. I get so much joy watching him learn and grow. This little boy just melts my heart! 

Weekend fun

This weekend we had my nieces birthday party at a playland. The kids were crazy ha! Running all over, the parents were exhausted haha! 

Afterwards we had a BBQ party at my brothers house. Baby k fell asleep on the way down at 830. I put him in the stroller, covered him up and he was parked in the backyard noise and all and slept the whole time we were there. I actually was able to have a conversation, eat and have some wine! 

Sunday the fun continued when we had a family lunch with my inlaws. We had a delicious meal. Baby k enjoyed all the food too, minus the wine. Ha!

Yum! 

 

Today was my sisters birthday! I stopped over this afternoon with a treat. Mmm! 

Hope you all had a great Monday! 

Basement play area for baby k

We finally re-did the floors in the basement to make it more cozy for a play area for baby k.

We lived here for 4 years and rarely used the basement. But with a kid. I'm so glad we have that extra space.

Here are some before and after pics.

New floors 

Baby k loves the extra space to run and play. Even better when I get laundry done while we play too ha!

Baby k will be starting daycare next week and our plan is to play in the basement every day after dinner before bedtime so we get to play together everyday! 

Our prayers were answered!

My aunt had her liver transplant and she's doing well! A long recovery ahead but we are all so positive and so happy it all went smooth! 

Just a reminder that signing that donor card saves lives. Just 1 donor can save 8 lives. 

I'm overwhelmed with emotions, my aunt gets that second chance and gets her life back after so many years of suffering. we are so blessed. 

Thank you for your prayers! 

Yummy cookies and new shoes!?

Ohhhh yes I'm on a diet some what but these cookies are low in sugar and whole wheat! Sooooo. ;)!

Baby k isn't a milk drinker but with a cookie, a couple sips was needed. 

This cute little guy is getting ready for fall, yes fall! The leaves are already falling here. The weather is still great so we aren't complaining. We bought some new shoes. We found some great sales! 

How cute! 

And a new cars school bag with wheels! Ha! Seriously cute! 

Happy Monday! 

Summer days

A friend and I met up yesterday for a playdate with the kids. We enjoyed a nice breakfast. The kids were well behaved until the end when little K had enough and was anxious to run around, he threw his plate of food to the ground. Blueberries and bread all scattered all over the floor ha! 

We then headed to a park so the kids can get filthy haha yes playing in sand. Sand was everywhere!!!! I'm soooo not a fan of sand playgrounds. Sand is for the beach! 

My friend put together this picture of us and the kids growing up. They will be 2 soon! 2!!!!

Later in the evening we had a BBQ dinner outside. Summer feels like its slipping away too quickly! 

Little K and Zoe are best friends. They are adorable playing together. Yesterday it was hide and seek I think ha!! 

Summer is ending soon and little K will be starting a new daycare very soon! More about this later! 

Happy Friday!
