Mama's Day!

Mother's Day this Year was exactly the relaxation I needed! 

My Mother's Day wish was to have a list of things I wanted done in the house Saturday, and then to just  relax on Sunday! 

Saturday Mike and Jenna got to work cleaning out the garage from moving, setting up the loft, and finishing the closet that Mandi and Sue bought us a house warming gift! 

Then Sunday morning I got to sleep in and have breakfast in bed. The kids got me my yearly new shoes and flowers which is my favorite tradition ever ;) That afternoon we had lunch at Ste. Chapelle with my amazing mother in law Sue and sister Mandi!

 It was a gorgeous day, the music was great for dancing, Mike made yummy chicken Kabobs for our picnic, and the wine lemonade was amazing! 

It was so fun we decided we are doing this every year :)

How lucky can one girl be to get to have these wonderful babies call me mama?!?!

That evening we had my mommy and step dad over for dinner! It was so nice to just sit and talk with them without all of the family and busyness.  

I feel so blessed to have such supportive woman in my life! No matter what is going on or what I need I know that I have 2 Moms that will be there for me! 

They are both amazing grandmas who take such good care of my kids :) 

Family Day in the Sun

At the breakfast table this morning while sitting and eating the yummy breakfast Mike made us we decided we needed to do something fun out in this pretty weather! 

Jenna got a free family pass to birds of prey from her class field trip last week, so we started there!

My whole heart in a picture... especially those little chunky toes in the back :)

All 3 of my Things getting ready for our picnic :)

Then we went to the Kleiner Park!

While big brother and sister played and rolled down the hills Jamie got to swing (which is one of his favorite things ever)!

Then we all buried Kade man in sand... it took Jamie awhile to be sure about the whole sand thing lol 

Then we took a walk to the village for dessert. Mike and I got some time to just talk while Jamie napped, and the kids played! 

The sound in my car the whole way home was my kids playing with each other which was better than any other sound in the world I am sure!! 

Jamie has his big brother and sister wrapped around his chunky finger :)

Thing 3 is Eight Months Old

 Growing so fast and still our little ray of sunshine! 

Everywhere we go people tell us that Jamie made their day better with his loves everybody he meets flirtatious personality! 

 He is such a smart boy, and is ahead in every milestone so far!

He loves books and music :)

Height/Weight: James was last weighed 2 weeks ago he weight 18.5 lbs (24th percentile). I measured him today and he is 28 inches long (69th percentile).

Routine: We are loving our new house, and settling into our new routine so very much!! After taking sister to school Jamie hangs with Grandma while I go to the gym then we come home, and he has breakfast while he watches George ;) Then I bathe him (his favorite thing), and he takes a nap in his big boy crib! The afternoons he gets to play with sister while I make dinner! He is so attached to her, and it is so sweet to see them play! Then daddy is home which is everyone's favorite part of the day! It is great getting to sit and have family dinners, and James joins now that he is eating on his own :) 

Sleeping: I LOVE HIS CRIB!! I enjoyed, and will always cherish the months that Jamie and I had just us cuddling every night. But I was so ready for him to be sleeping in his room. We finished his nursery in the new house a few weeks ago, so that weekend we started him in his crib. I fully expected it to take a few days to get use to, but he does great! He still wakes up around 3-4am, and at that point one of us just brings him to our bed to he sleeps till am.

Eating/Feeding: Jamie is eating solids for breakfast and dinner. He eats pretty much all fruits and veggies! He likes yogurt, eggs, chicken noodle soup, sweet potatoes, bananas, and kale cookies the best! I like the Ella's Kitchen squeeze pouches for when we are going somewhere, because he can eat them himself and there are no additives (he is still 100% gluten free).

Sizes: Our big boy is still in 9 month or 12 month clothing, size 3 diapers, and daddy's sunglasses :)

Milestones: This kid is growing too fast!!

He loves to swing, swim, and give kisses :)

He moved into his new home (House link)
He had his 1st Easter (Easter Pictures Link)


He learned to dance, stand on his own, stand up without holding onto anything, spider crawl, walk with his walker, say "Hey" and "Bye"! 

 The fun of wrestling with daddy
