Mac

I'm pretty sure I posted about our new addition. But Mac has been so fun to have. He has gotten so big, we have really enjoyed what he brings to our fam. 

He loves to play out with the kids. The neighbors come over and play hide and seek, and he hides and counts with them. Or they play cops and robbers and he is the K-9 unit. Pretty fun to sit out and watch them. 

And then there is cute prim of course. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nash's preschool program

Nash has his preschool program back in may. He had a part that he memorized. He said, "welcome to our graduation, it is sure to be a big sensation" he showed so much courage getting up there and using the microphone. I wish I could just remember all the sweet things he says. The way he talks, his little voice, the way he prenounciats his words. Such a cutie. 

 

 

 

 

San Francisco

We took a little trip to San Fran at the first of the summer. We met Andrew and Ashley there and toured the city! It was sooo much fun. We are delicious food, walked around and saw all the cool houses. I think one of our favorite parts was riding the old trolley. Kylee was able to hang off with d and Andrew. It was a blast. We woke up and drove to the Golden Gate Bridge, which was not crowded at all. We ate breakfast at this around house looking over the bridge. It was fantastic. we spotted wales off the bridge!!! Then we headed to Sacramento. We stopped at the jelly belly factory on the way. Derek thought it was fascinating. We spent the time swimming at their apartment complex and visiting. It was such a fun little trip. I love watching the kids experience new things.

summer days, best days

I love the stage of life I am in right now. I feel so grateful for so many things. Summertime is so fun, it's my absolute favorite time of year. I have my kids with me, and we don't have any type of schedule, just fun. How grateful I am for how hard d works so that I can be home with these special kids of mine. 

We started swim lessons this week across the street at a neighbors house. The first day Nash was hesitant but did things, as soon as they dunked him, he shut down. He finished out swimming but the next two days he was really worried about going. Today I got in with him. I thought, who cares if I baby him. He is my baby and he won't be that way forever. So we had so much fun. He went to swim lessons with one cowboy boot and one Spider-Man snow boot. He likes to mismatch his socks, well today it was another level. I just smiled. He is such a special kid. I walked in his room tonight as he played with his toys. He loves his room. He was patiently loading his pen dispenser. I asked him not to grow up. He said I want to, I want to be captain America mom. 

My friend Trenasia stopped by tonight and surprised me with a cute bag of running stuff for my half marathon this Saturday. I am so grateful for wonderful positive people around me. We met in the clinic when Nash was really sick and have become such good friends. I say Nash is a special kid, but he has a way to make people feel special. He remembers her and hugs her and talks to her. He's just so sweet. 

Kylee is the same, she has such a big heart. She tries to include everyone. At swim lessons there was a boy that had just been adopted and was pretty timid. He was her age. She tried to include him the best she could. She really feels for people. Ah! They are just wonderful. 

I was running errands today and Nash fell asleep on me in staples. This doesn't happen very often but when it does, it takes me back and makes me think about my kids growing up. 

Grocery shopping with little carts. It was so fun, enjoying the little moments
