A little piece of home

I was headed over to our local Mini Mart and noticed something. A nice bottle from my home town. I miss my home town so much it hurts. Even though I wanted nothing to do with it while I lived there. It will always be where I grew up. Just funny even though I can't drink it I still want it. 

 I thought about getting 50 Shades of Grey so many times. But I had to turn away from it. Instead I found these beauties at Halfpricebooks.com at 99cents each they are in GREAT condition. So along with having some summer fun with my kids. Im enjoying some great books to help pass the time.

We are also enjoying this little loves :)

Stuck in my head

As our 9 year wedding anniversary approaches I have this song STUCK in my head. I wake up to this and sing it in the shower. It's not our song but I Love it.

Too many to count

This month has flown by and so much has happened.  I wish my family could stay with me longer and I wished my husband could have been here and enjoyed them as well. My mom is so special to me I don't know what id do with out her. We had the best laughs! the gut wrenching kinda laughs. I miss her. It made it even better when my Aunt came. It made missing my husband bearable. For a minute. Im going to miss her cooking. Even though I didn't need to eat like that it sure made it feel like home. I did a few things I haven't done. Like drive across the Chesapeak bay bridge. It was beautiful but not worth the $17 it took to drive across and back. I took my son in the ocean. I took him in all the way to my neck. He was scared and clung on to me so tight. I have missed our bonding moments. I was fully clothed and didn't care. My boy wanted to go in. So we did. "YOLO" kept replaying in my head. I wish I had more moments like that in my life. I think ill start working on that.
                                          Car rides and costco trips with Grandma

Fresh and clean with smiles

We did a little drawing outside x5

We ate a bunch of Kabobs *they are delish

Great uncles are the best in the world

Made an ER trip

An ER trip for the weiner too. He was a little turd so he had to be muzzled. But it was so damn cute

This little guy came into our yard. I will now no longer try and pick one up

its head can reach its butt. NO JOKE! It snaps 

We spent way too much money at IHOP

but she loved the pancakes 

Cousins are SO MUCH FUN! I wish we lived closer

I saw some flowers I want to plant in my home. Whenever we decide to buy one

The gates to Garden. That place was etherial. I have to upload my pics on my camera once I find it

Cousins <3

In the middle of the ocean

She chomped down a red vine. WITH NO TEETH!!

So ill end this with that sweet face. I have a TON more to write down for memories sake. Im going to go outside and play in the sun for a while.

Happy Mothers Day and new glasses

I just wanted to put it on my blog to remember forever these past few days.

My daughter and I both got our first eye exams and we both need glasses. Haylee's came in first and these are the ones she chose with the lady bugs

With Grandma here we always plant. I love my tulips and a "mater" plant. My glasses are something to get used to. But I will.. One day. Thank goodness I need them for seeing far away right now. 

I love having my mom here 

that is all <3

Cinco De Mayo!!

May 5 people!! That means my momma is getting her bahookie here! I've been trying to keep this a secret from the oldest for EVER. Its been hard I actually slipped up a few times. I hope that she truly doesn't know and isn't playing coy with me. Darn 8 years olds think they know everything. Everything has found its place. Most things have a home and I can say Im about 90% at home right now. After living here almost 1 year I think I did good :) Im so excited to show my mom around virginia without getting lost like last time. Boy that was rough. At least I know my way around around Virginia Beach (somewhat) thanks to my awesome friend Christina.

On the husband front we have successfully completed 1 month and it feels good to "think" that is one month down that we will NEVER have to do again. I am excited for that. I am truly. However I am still fighting with the thought of the months that are down this dirt road we decided to travel down. So many plans we have I can't wait to build our dreams together. Its going to be awesome. We just have to get through this last leg.

Side note- Does everyone get crazy husband pictures? I cant wait to see the infamous "stash" pictures I always get and I ALWAYS order too much and share them with family. Can't wait.

I love you babe <3

OOPS! PADA!

I forgot about photo a day april. YIKES! My bad.  Ive enclosed some photos though to try and make up for it. :) Ive been busy spending time with friends and getting ready for my mothers arrival. I can't wait. Cleaning/organizing. re-aranging ah. Its like homecoming. Ive gotten a few phone calls from my hubby and even was blessed to see his face via face time. I miss that man more than he knows. Were coming up on our anniversary and Im stumped as to what to get him.  :/ 

Break times

                                                I love it when she still likes to cuddle. I never want

                                                        to let her go.
