Sunday Funday

Sunday Funday was a little different in our house this weekend! We usually spend the day watching football and watching football but yesterday we got out and about! After a yummy breakfast at IHOP (where Tay devoured an entire kids meal by himself) we watched 1 game and played a bit then Wes called and said “let’s hit Disneyland!” and Gus said “we are leaving in 15 minutes, meet ya there!” He’s officially a convert now. Not only did I get him to go, but he was excited, he decided AND missed football for it! Tay loved the parade and was clapping when he saw Mickey, we hit a couple rides then headed home for party prep night #2.

Tay's Room

We got a new fancy crib for Tay! His room is the most put together for the time being so here are some shots of his new bed :)

Beautiful

I saw this on Pinterest today and completely teared up.  Even tho this is not my tummy and I only have 1 small stretch mark, I still have a tummy that reflects Taylor was once in there and it will never look the same.  I dont regret that one bit.  My Hubby tells me I am beautiful EVERY day and I cherish the gifts that I have been given by God, even the post baby belly.

"A mark for every breath you took, every blink, every sleepy yawn. One for every time you sucked your thumb, waved hello, closed your eyes, and slept in the most perfect darkness. One for every time you had the hiccups. One for every dream you dreamed within me. It isn't very pretty anymore. Some may even think it's ugly. That's OK. It was your home. It held you until my arms could, and for that, I will always find something beautiful in it." ~ Cassie Fox

1 Year Pics

Last Saturday we took pics at Disneyland for Tay's 1 year and family pics! Kevin Yarnell was awesome and did such a great job capturing Tay's little personality. I can't wait to see the rest of the pics! If you are interested in a session with Kevin click here, he's super talented and fun to work with!

Brody's 3rd and a Ventura Getaway!

For Brody’s 3rd birthday we traveled back up to Ventura to spend the night with the Shafer’s North! We arrived Saturday and hung out, cooked, opened presents and played and played! Aunt Mary Kay made the most AMAZING Mater cake for Brods and we plotted for Tay’s cake too. That woman can make anything.  I can't believe how big all the kids are getting, time needs to slow down!

We all took a walk over to the beach, the weather was even better than it was in August!

And the one of the BEST parts of it all was I got to meet Baby Cruz! Cruz arrived 3 weeks early for Kim and Mo so he’s a little tiny but so cute. He is the sweetest pea pod weighing in at 7 lbs, I was smitten!
