The past two weekends have been very busy with lots of fun things to do, and lots of errands to do, but they have been very hot weekends. I must say I do enjoy the heat, but it has been so hot and humid that I have not been in a pleasant mood:) I told my husband I am not sure how I would even survive in Florida, Texas or any sorts of hot and humid weather all the time. We live pretty close to the beach and we normally get a good breeze where we don't need our air, but the past two weeks I think we have ran it everyday and I am not looking forward to that bill!

Labor day weekend we headed out to the desert (which we love) to go and get a little mini vacation in. We stay at a friends house and enjoy the pool, BBQ and just relax. It takes you away from your day to day chores and forces you to rest and enjoy a few cocktails. We left Friday morning and came back Monday morning to beat the traffic. This is our second year going out there for a fun labor day weekend. We went with some dear friends and my mom. We always love Grandma to come as she is a big help with the kids.

My little Cheeto head

This past weekend we celebrated one of our very dear friends daughter "Morgan's" 4th birthday party! They had it at the cutest little animal fun farm near our house. They have pony rides, train rides, petting zoo and a fun play ground. It really is the perfect place to have a birthday party. The kids can run around and be loud. Dylan had the best time and really enjoyed his pony ride. Haylee is still not at the age to do much, but she loved watching her brother and going on the "choo-choo" train with her daddy!

His smile is everything....

New Beginnings

Since going back to work with Haylee being born and Dylan growing up so fast, it was much harder this time around going back to work when Haylee was just 3 months old. Everyday I felt I was missing something new they did, or missing my snuggle times with them and missing out on all those fun mommy things we get to do (well sometimes), if that's what you call "fun" (insert laugh)...

About two months ago Greg and I sat down and decided that the best thing we could do as a family is me being home with the kids. We have talked about it often, but we just really did not know when the best time would be. What brought us to our final decision was Dylan starting school and some new therapy programs that Dylan will be starting. I told him, I did not want to miss out on any of it. I can tell you I have prayed for this day since Dylan was born, but financially we could not take the burden of living off of one income. But we knew in time that we could make it work and honestly if you put your mind to it, you can make anything work. 

Monday August, 31st was my last day at my job that I had been at for 5 years. It was a sad but happy day. I will tell you one thing...I will not miss the corporate world one bit, but I will miss the people that I worked with for the last 5 years and all the friendships I made. I will 100% be keeping in contact with all of the wonderful people. As for me, I am over the moon and so happy to get to be home with my babies and enjoy my new job as a full time mommy. The last few days have been pretty crazy, and I totally forgot how hard being a stay at home mom is. I told my husband on our date night on Monday that I will never take for granted being home with my babies. It truly is a prayer answered and these moments I will never-ever forget. My little loves will be 18 in a blink of an eye.

Cheers to new beginnings....

"Loving on these two everyday for the rest of my life"
