Feels like yesterday...

I can't believe its already be 5 years today. 5 Years ago today my very older, wiser best friend went to be with the Lord. He was my confidant, the one who could always make me laugh, my encourager, my #1 Fan, and the one who always made sure I knew he loved me. 

Pop-pop I miss you more and more with each passing year. You would think it would get easier, but some days it doesn't feel like that. Every time I look at James it makes me sad that you aren't here to see him. And now with another one on the way I know you would be so proud of me and so in love with my kids. In fact you would be in love with all of your great-grandbabies. I am so thankful though that you are getting a front row seat up there with the Big Guy! 

Today I will celebrate the amazing man that you were! Thankful that I had you in my life for such a long time! I look forward to the day that we meet again face to face! I love you Pop-pop! 

We've got BIG news!

WE ARE EXPECTING BABY #2!!!!!

We are beyond excited and if I'm honest I'm a bit nervous. Makes me nervous to have two little ones, but I trust in God's perfect timing and this was for sure something we wanted and planned for! I am 12 weeks pregnant and due on December 31st! Nice timing right?!? Ha! Manny of course is praying that we have the baby in December so that we can get a tax write off! :) 

We had a rough start to this pregnancy with me really sick. It has finally started tapering off and I'm feeling much better which is a huge answer to prayer. Its a different ball game when you are sick but your toddler still needs all of Mommy's attention. :) 

We are for sure going to find out the sex. I wish I was one of those people that could hold off on finding out but I am WAY too much of a planner, so we'll be finding out towards the end of July. We can't wait! 

Can't wait to keep you posted on this new adventure our family is taking. We are thrilled and can't wait to meet this little one!

Promise we're still alive!

I officially win the worlds worst blogger lately. I am really good at keeping up with other people's blogs but awful on keeping up with my own. I feel like I've just been a bit of a rut lately. I've been pretty homesick and having some internal struggles that I think have left me not knowing what to say on the blog. But I'm going to take another stab at this and hopefully be better about updates on our family! We can start with pictures from our life for the last month!

On rainy/cold days we walk around the mall with friends

Just hanging out around the house being silly

We take FULL advantage of pretty days! (they are few and far between)

First time on the big boy swing

Cookie date on the back porch with Mama! 

Having fun at his cousins house on Mother's Day!

Not a bad view if I say so myself

When you don't have a pool or a yard you make your own little pool play land! 

He has yet to actually get in the water! Ha! Just likes to play with his toys in it

Aunt Jack and Linds came to visit! Wanted to be with Jackie all weekend. So cute! 

Dancing with Aunt Jack (awful picture, but too cute not to post)
