Boating

YAY! I got to experience tubing :) A great BIG THANK YOU to our friends who took the four of us out on their boat this weekend and it was SO much fun!  Being in a tube tied to the back of a boat is peaceful and fun and exciting all in one!  I can't wait to do it again.  I will add this to the list of watersports I have tried and loved.  On that list is kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, jetskiing, and now tubing :)  No wonder my kiddoes love the water.  The girls got to play in the sand for the first time together and it was soooo cute. They absolutely wore themselves out.

 Having fun at the beach :) They wanted to hang out in the tube after they watched all of the adults go tubing!

Passed out kiddos on the\way back

Birthdays

So apparently it's birthday time around here.  We just celebrated my older one's 2nd birthday! how the time flew by that quickly I will never know.  It's already time to plan my little one's 1st birthday. Craziness.  At least I don't have to plan the hubby's birthday (which is also coming up). 

Sooooooo, on that note.  Here are some pictures from the 2 year old's birthday party :)  Hmmmmm, who can guess the theme? Yep, my child is obsessed with  Elmo! 

On to more party planning :) Thinking ladybug theme for the little one.  She won't know the difference anyway right?  Eh, at least she'll get to see pictures, or blogs, or whatever is popular when she gets older. Will post more pictures and ideas later (hopefully, lol)

Silly Pets

I was definitely expecting this blog to be about my kiddos when a friend pointed me to info about animal stuff. That's right, duh, I have 2 animals too lol. I have a black Labrador retriever (about 80 lbs) and a fat little orange tabby. I call him fat since he's about 14 lbs.

Cat being silly in a laundry basket.  He's so sweet and innocent until you open the door. Yep, he's an inside cat who thinks he can survive outside.  Silly cat.

 She is so protective of her humans it's amazing.  We got so lucky when we decided to adopt her from a local humane society 4 years ago. 

Ok, so a big thank you to camomeetscouture@blogspot.com for helping me start this blog. I tried a couple of times on my own with no success. Hopefully this one does the trick. They do say the third time's the charm....we will see how true that is :)

So, to start off, let me introduce my family. My husband is in the army, yes I am an army wife and proud of it! He is wonderful and amazes me everyday! We have two beautiful little girls who also amaze me everyday. How we got so lucky to have found each other and have our healthy little girls I will never know, but I thank my lucky stars. We have a 2 year old who is into- well, everything! And we have a 10 month old who has figured out that standing is so much more fun than crawling lol. Yes, they are only 14 months apart. Our 10 month old got the eviction notice at only 34.5 weeks, but she hasn't seemed to let that matter. More craziness in the next post!
