Fourth of July

My favorite holiday as a child and as an adult. It is a time to be thankful for our freedoms and a time to spend with family and friends.

When I say that Jax LOVES this holiday that would be an understatement. He was obsessed with the fireworks and was just as entertaining as the actual fireworks. 

We have had the best summer with our cousins and I will hold these sweet memories forever. 

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the many places we celebrated over the week. 

Aria Lee is FOUR

It seems just like yesterday that my sweet sugar was born. That dark haired baby turned into my my blonde curly headed princess. She is sassy, sweet, smart and so very funny. At times her stubbornness is like looking in the mirror but she gives the best kisses and loves life.

Her favorites at the moment are...playing outside, swimming, PJ masks, Moana, Shopkins and hatchimals. She adores her brother and loves playing with her cousins.

She really is a blessing in my life and celebrating her was easy. We had a very simple last minute family get together for her birthday and it could not have been more perfect (or humid). With pizza, cake, fireworks and family we celebrated her BIG.

Here are a few of my favorite pics from the evening.

36 weeks

How is it that in just a few short weeks we will get to finally meet baby Thomas. It has finally set in ( a little bit ) that soon my house and life as I have known it will be 100% different in all the best ways. I will admit that it does make me a little sad that Aria who has been my "baby" for so long will be so big so quickly. Both Jax and Aria are so very excited. Of course Jax is insistent that it is a brother while Aria is insistent it is a sister. I mean they each have a 50/50 shot right?

Pulling out all the baby items and getting the diaper bag ready is in full force. I look at the tiny outfits and socks and just can not believe that Jax an Aria once fit into them. We are all very excited and cant wait to know if we will be getting a sister or brother.
