3rd Birthday Part 1

Thursday we went to the Gulfarium with Aunt Pris and Uncle Ray to celebrate Josiah's birthday!  We had such a fun day!  I loved the dolphin show!  Afterwards we went to Fudpuckers to eat.  I haven't been there before.  The food was good and Josiah loved the alligators!  He even got to feed and touch an alligator.  I think that was the highlight of his day!!  I can't believe he will be three on Sunday.  Time sure does fly.  Like he says "Mom, I'm not a baby anymore!!"  No you aren't sweet boy!!  But he will always be my baby!!! 

We headed home from Destin and had dinner and cake at Aunt P and Uncle Ray's house.  Every year Aunt P makes a cake for him. 

1st birthday - dinosaur cake

2nd birthday - Hammer cakes

3rd birthday - Train cake

What a great day!  I am ready to spend the whole weekend celebrating his birthday!  Even though the other day he told me he didn't want a birthday party....too bad...I already paid for it!!  Haha!  Hope y'all have a great weekend.  We are headed to the beach today/tonight to spend the night so we can see the Blue Angels tomorrow!!!  Then Sunday is Josiah's birthday party! 

One month

I'm a little behind!!! Adalyn turned one month almost two weeks ago!!!! She is getting so big! She is still in newborn clothes, sleeps a ton and is an awesome baby!!!! Much more laid back than Josiah!

I'm not sure if I wrote this yet or not, but I'm finding this go around is a lot easier than with Josiah!! I'm not worried about every little thing. Maybe that is why she is so good, because I'm not do stressed..who knows! Anyway, I'm tired!! I wish I could find more time to write. I really do miss it, but we have been extremely busy lately!! I am trying to get things ready for Josiah's party!! I promise I will start updated more as soon as things calm down!!!

Church on TV

Yesterday I turned the tv on and sat down to give Adalyn her bottle. The channel was on a church station so I listened while I fed her. The preacher said something like this...."you spend time with your children, spouse, etc. to love each other more and more and to learn more about each other. This is what each of us should be doing with God." I've known this all along but I never thought of it that way! I pray/talk to God everyday but I have been feeling the need/want to have an even closer relationship with Him.  I want to learn more about God and His word and I want to do more for others I just haven't figured out what, when or how.  I really would like to volunteer somewhere once a month or even bake for a group or something like that but I just haven't found the right thing yet.  Anyway..just rambling! 

Hope everyone has a nice Monday!!!

Sweetness

I was trying to get Adalyn's bottle ready as she was crying. Josiah said, it's okay Baby Adalyn, it's okay! Mom, if she cries I will cry!". He is seriously the sweetest big bro ever!!!!

Fourth of July

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!!!!!

I hope everyone had a great fourth!  We sure did!  Our friend from Kansas was in town and we went over to her dad's house during the day and then headed over to my aunt and uncle's that evening!!  It rained most of the day, but we still had a fun time!!

Josiah loved the fireworks that we had!  He thought they were pretty cool!  He would get so excited when they went off!

iPhone Pictures

This post is going to be all over the place.  I just haven't had time to sit down and write and upload pictures.  For some reason when I upload pictures from my iPhone they don't show up in the order I want them to.

Anyway...here are some random pictures!

This is how we sit most of the day.  Josiah just loves Adalyn so much.  He wants to kiss her and hold her hand ALWAYS!  I hope they stay sweet to each other forever!!

My favorite men!

Adalyn's first birthday party!

Josiah traced his whole name!  I am one proud momma!!  He is so smart!

This is how I take a shower in the mornings! Josiah watches a movie and Adalyn sleeps in her rocker!

Pop Pop had a birthday recently and Josiah loves to help blow out candles!

Life with two kids is amazing so far!  It has been much easier this go around.  I don't feel like I am stressing over every little noise/issue that I did with Josiah.  Don't get me wrong I still get worried...it's just not as bad.  Josiah is such a big helper and Adalyn LOVES to sleep so things have been going pretty great!  I would say overall we have adjusted very well and are enjoying being a family of four!

I will try to get pictures and an update for Adalyn's one month.  And I can't believe Josiah will be three in 13 days!!!!!!
