Life Update

Hi guys, just wanted to give y'all a little update about what's going on in our lives right now. Work has changed my schedule while our receptionist is out on maternity leave for 12 weeks. So I'm working more hours now. Josh got a promotion at work, and he's been working more as well.

Along with that, we're planning a trip to Disney for Oct. 1st through the 4th. We're so excited as it will be Weston's very first trip to Disney world as well as my 26th birthday (on the 1st). It's been a bit overwhelming with all of the information out there, but I'm slowly weeding through it. I'll make a post all about Disney planning coming up.

After our Disney trip, we're planning a vacation to the Florida Keys!! Luckily for us, we have family that live down there. This trip will also be Weston's first trip. I've been going since before I was born so I'm so excited to start this yearly tradition with him.

I'm in the beginning stages of planning Weston's 3rd birthday party!! This year Weston has picked Paw Patrol for the theme, and I'm actually excited about it, more so than I thought I would be. This year his party is going to be before Christmas which I'm a little nervous about. But I'm trying to get as much planned and purchased before even Thanksgiving so I can focus on Christmas and the true meaning of it.

If that wasn't crazy enough, we're also in the process of saving up money so we can buy our first house next year. My goal is to buy and be in our first home before Christmas 2016. I want to have Christmas and Weston's birthday party at our home next year. So that gives us a little over a year to save the money needed for home buying expenses (down payment, closing costs, inspection, etc.). I can't wait document our journey to home buying. I think it's going to be a lot of fun, but a lot of stress as well. But I'm so excited. I can't wait to have OUR home.


This is just a little update on what's going on in our lives right now. Of course, I didn't include Halloween events or Thanksgiving. So the next few months are going to be super busy for us as a family and for me as a mom & wife. I hope I can blog more often about what's going on. I'm definitely going to be working on a Disney post in the next couple of days along with a Paw Patrol Inspiration board and our journey to home ownership!

Don't forget to stop by and say hi!

He's been in daycare a year and has learned so much. His vocabulary has grown. He's putting together questions and sentences better than some of the 3 year old kids in his class. We're still working on potty training. He's not too interested in it right now, but I'm hoping he'll find interest soon! He loves both Windsor & Diesel, but Windsor's his favorite dog by far. 

He loves to read books, watch truck videos with daddy, and play outside. 

We only have 6 months left until his 3rd birthday, and we just started thinking/ planning his party {that's another post coming soon}.

   

Baby Boy, 

You have made these past 2.5 years so much fun and exciting. They've definitely been hard, but well worth everything. I can't wait to see how you develop, learn, and just grow over the next 6 months and years. I'm so proud of the great little boy you've become and I'm so proud to be your momma. You make my momma heart burst! 

Love you baby boy! 

Love, 

Mommy

Spring has Sprung 2015!

A few weeks ago, we had Weston's Easter pictures taken by our wonderful photographer Amy Haring. She's the same photographer that has taken every professional picture of Weston since he was born (besides the ones taken in the hospital the day after he was born).

Anyways, the first 2 years we did Easter pictures, Weston was not feeling the bunny rabbit at ALL. But this year, he did AMAZING! He was hugging, kissing, and trying to pick the bunny up (poor bunny!).

Easter 2014

Here are just 5 out of 20 of this year's Easter pictures! 

If you live in North Florida area, I highly recommend Amy Haring Photography. She's absolutely amazing at everything she does. She has a true passion for photography and that shows in all of her work from newborn, to children, to weddings and more. Visit her website at http://www.amyharingphotography.com/ to book with her or for more information. She's well worth the money!
