BRAVE

While Daddy and Timmy headed off to NASCAR last Sunday, the "greatest grandma" and I took the girls to see Brave.  And there is sooo much I could say about it, but don't want to ruin it for any of you that haven't seen it yet.  Without saying too much, let's just say that it's more a movie about mothers and daughters and it hit home with me...as a daughter, and now as a mother to girls.  I just want my girls (and Timmy) to know that I love them fiercely...with every ounce of my being!  I would do anything for them, literally!  And there is nothing I want more for them than the strength to be brave enough to follow their hearts and blaze their own trail!!!

I bought the girls Brave Tee shirts for the movie, but they couldn't be talked out of these princess jammies...and high heeled fluffy slippers!  

And yes, I let them wear them....

I'm already learning to choose my battles wisely ;) 

 This is horrible quality, but it's the only pic I got of the girls with the Brave display...

and triple trouble, of course ;)

  

Two Years Down, Forever to Go!

Yeah, I know...not very original.  I think I used that same title (insert a "One" instead of a "Two") last year, which given my recent blog activity, is probably just a few posts back!  But in all honestly, get used to it.....I hope to be using it for a looooong time!  Anywho, staying on track....when Tim and I went to the Bahamas in April, we said it was for our Anniversary...and our birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day....and any other up and coming holiday, big or small, in the foreseeable future!  I never got a chance to blog about it, but it was pretty amazing...definitely all I needed for a great Anniversary!  

     

But thankfully, we were lucky enough to spend some time together on Sunday, too!!! 

My favorite cupcakes (yep, we started with dessert; that's how I roll ;) 

packaged in my favorite boxes...

(Ok, this isn't my FAVORITE box, but they were out of that one, so this one did the job!)

Then onto my favorite winery....

Mmmmm.....

And ending it all at my favorite restaurant for my favorite dinner....

and one of my favorite drinks...

with my favorite guy!!!

(I'm sorry about the weird shadow on your head making it look like you have male pattern baldness...I love you anyway...and that's good to know for future reference ;)

Love you, Babe!  Thanks for a great two years....and a perfect day to top it all off!!!

  

Confused

I don't know why I can't seem to get back into the blogging swing of things.  Is it because we're really not doing much these days but hanging out and I don't have much blog about?  Or is it the opposite...that we're busy ALL the time???  I'm not sure how it's possible, but both feel true!  Ever since we moved, I feel like there is always something to do around here, running errands, trying to get something checked off the "TO DO" list, just the everyday life stuff.  But at the same time, we haven't been venturing out as much as we used to for family outings.  We're more content here....we have more space and we can breath!  The kids are more than happy running around outside, riding bikes and scooters, or playing in the pool.  And I am happy watching them....while I try to keep up with cleaning and laundry (some things never change...no matter where you move).  I think about blogging a lot...I miss it!  But at the same time, I'm just enjoying hanging out with the kids and not feeling so attached to the computer.  This is what life looks like around here lately.  What about you???
