Summer Days End

As fall is coming and summer is ending it leaves me with the feeling of excitment and a bit of sadness. I have always held a special place for summer. The long days of outside play, of the lingering heat, the joy of swimming and the tan that comes with it. This summer is one for the books. My sugar Aria was born and Jax went from a baby to a toddler at the blink of an eye. Summer 2014 is one that will forever be in my heart.

Aria had her baby dedication at church and it was precious and a reminder of how important being a God loving parent really is. It was a very special moment for our family. 09/21/14

                   So blessed to have the church family and the Pastor that we have! God is good!

My whole life in one picture!

 

 

Jax had his first day of Thursday Bible school which he loved!! He is so full of life and such a boy!His smile melts my heart! The joy he has for the little things makes this momma so happy!

 

What a big boy!!!

 

We have discovered a new monday morning tradition. It includes Mock park which is Jaxs favorite park that we have visited so far! He loves to climb and explore and this park is perfect!! After playing at the park we go to story time at the Childrens Library and it is so much fun! They get to enjoy some stories, play and a craft! We had our second week today and it is so fun!!

So much fun with new friends!!

 

Now for some of Arias Firsts!!

Aria is getting way to big way to fast! She has starting grabbing her toy on her carseat and smile at it and talks to it! It is beyond cute!! She always holds her head up so much more and she interacts with her big brother more also. She loves to smile and watch his every move! They already share such a strong bond. The love they have for eachother is amazing. The way they look at eachother is so cute. Jax calls her Precious all the time! Aria has also started daycare. This was her second week and she seems to be fitting in just fine!!

Her fist day of Day Care at Aunt Candices House. She was pretty happy!

Jax reading to Aria. It was so cute!

 

Back to more summer memories....... this has been one amazing summer as I said earlier. I got the amazing privilege to have my maternity leave during most of the summer and with my sister in law and nieces home for the summer it was an easy assumption that we would spend a TON of time together...which we did. From just hanging out at the house, shopping, taking the kids to the park, and just driving around. It was so great to get this time with them. Kristina has become not only my sister but one of my best friends. We can talk for hours and be totally honest with eachother. From faith to motherhood to fashion we have talked about it all!  I am so thankful for her. Jax has loved having Mia and Harper here also. They have had a great time together...and some pretty great fights haha! I grew up so close to my cousins and I am so glad that Jax is close to his! We are so sad to see them leave soon but so happy that they get to be with Stephen and that they will get to live as a family! We are already looking forward to visiting them in NC!!! Beach here we come!!!

 

 

As this amazing summer comes to an end my favorite season is coming. Fall! I love fall. The leaves changing colors. My birthday. Halloween. The smell of fall candles. The food. Everything. I just love it. I love football games that need a blanket and hot coco, the window open and the comfort of my home on a chilly night. So until next time summer....even though it will be hard to top this one.
