4th of July!

 I can't believe I am still so far behind lol!  Someday I will be caught up and the holidays will actually be recent lol!!  Oh well... for now - here is a glimpse at our last 4th of July haha.

( 7 - 4 ) hahaha!

We can't wait to get back to the pool!  Kayden was just asking yesterday - "I go sim, sim, sim??"  I tried to explain to her that we will go again in the summer when it's hot outside and she sweetly answered, "Ok Mommy!"  She's melting my heart these days with her sweet mannerisms and compassion.  All the time she'll ask, "you ok dayii?" if she hears us coughing, or if someone says "I don't feel good" or something of the sort, she's quick to come give you loving and say "Poor mommy!" Such a sweet little thing!  We're so proud of her! <3

fathersday.

Father's day continued =) -- here's a shot of Kayden helping him open his card and present in the am -- and then we headed off to the zoo.

We brought along some goodies - since it was a holiday and all ;-P  .. she wasn't sure at first - her reaction kills me.

<3  I am so thankful that Kayden has Dominic as a Daddy - he is truly so patient, so loving, and so much fun with her.  I fall more and more in love with him everyday, watching him father her.  Teaching, cuddling, disciplining, playing, this guy does it all.  =)

Eggs & Family.

Easter.  I'm to Easter!  Yaaaay!  I thought this day would never come.  ;-D  I am so bad.  I honestly have no clue how I got so behind on editing pictures & posting blogs .... oh wait.  Yes I do; a rambunctious toddler named Kayden, a household of remodeling and organization projects, and two business' to keep up with.  Add in trying to spend time with lover-boy, and having any type of relationships with family & friends, much less - some "me time" ... the blog has got pushed to the back of the stove.  Oh yeah, speaking of stove, I forgot we have to eat once in a while, that takes time too .. I now understand what moms mean when they say "I didn't have time to eat".  Oh life, it's so crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way =).  We are so lucky and thankful to be able to do so many fun things, and to have a camera to capture most of it! =)

Here's baby girl checking out her basket (slash bucket lol). 

I loooove holidays, being a mommy.  Too fun!

The girl loooved easter egg hunting this year!  She ran around, eager to pick them up and put them in her basket.  All her sweet uncle's were even throwing eggs back out so she could keep going, and keep going she did lol!  <3

We got the munchkin a little goody bag for Valentine's Day - stickers, bubbles, a little puzzle, etc included.  She seemed to like it.  She LOVES bubbles, and puzzles, and she cracks me up with stickers -- she likes to stick them to her face and/or belly.  And then comes to show us and cracks up.  Lol silly little goofball! <3

A couple months ago, I had the pleasure of getting to take my beautiful best friends engagement pictures.  {Congrats to Alicia & Adam!!} They have little Addy, so we had Dominic and Kayden tag along to play with Addy for some of the shots.  It was such a great day to hang out with some great friends and run around outside.  Yay for love ;-D!

Dominic and Kayders being my testers ;).
