The Sweet Things

This is why my life is so beautiful. 

There a million crappy, not so great, terribly wrong, super stressful, make me wanna cry, things that happen everyday that make being a mama tough. But then there are moments like this that take my breath away because they fill my heart up so full with love I think it might burst. 

There have been so many stories going around lately of friends of friends that have just had babies that have been born with difficulties. Babies that need emergency surgeries and transplants, things that you would never want your  brand new sweet babe to endure, and even some stories of babies that just couldn't endure any longer.
These stories have weighed heavy on my heart. They have made me open my eyes to how lucky I am to have healthy babies that get to run and play and live happy healthy lives. They have reminded me of how grateful I need to be that I get to kiss these sweet babes every night before they go to bed and every morning when they wake up. To take a long deep breath during the trying times that raising children inevitably bring, and hold them tight for as long as I can.

I love you sweet babes.
I am so thankful for you
I love you to my bones. 

Silhouettes

 I haven't been real crafty this summer. Been at the beach too much I guess. 

The other day I decided I was finally going to make our family silhouettes. This has literally been on my to do list for a year. I did it the cheat way but I LOVE The way they turned out. 

I got the canvases on sale at Michales, two for $4.00. I just took a profile picture of everyone in our family, printed them out on the computer, cut them out, painted them black, then modg podged them to the canvases. They aren't perfect,  i.e. mine is way bigger than everyones else's and Sissy's is crooked but oh well. 

SO SIMPLE and so cute! 

Invasion of the Princess

Its happened

The thing I most feared second to her having a boyfriend someday. 

The Sissy has got herself some Princess clothes

When I was pregnant I VOWED never to give into the Disney "princess crap" I think I called it. 

Welp...... So much for that! 

Sissy was gifted HUGE rubbermaid FULL of princess clothes, shoes, rings, necklaces. A little girls dream really. She has been obsessed with putting every dress on and looking in the mirror. 

Its pretty cute to watch 

So you won Disney. You and your ruffles and glitter and light up Cinderella shoes have made our way into my house...... 

and I kind of like. 

but if you tell anyone I said that I'll throw you in the trash so fast you wont know what hit you! 

We're on vacation!!! Our first family vaca In a lonnnng time.

Stomach Bug

We're taking a sick day today. Baby sister was up all night throwing up..... My sweet girl. In between heaves she would look up and say "I love you mama" and then flash a cheese face smile. Such a trooper. We're
Laying low and watching movies and I am hovering. I keep asking Gavin if his belly hurts, and I'm pretty sure he's sick of me. I freaking hate the stomach bug. I think it's gross and miserable and I would like it to leave us alone. I am praying Sofia was it's only victim:(
