Swinging into spring.

This weekend was so beautiful. The weather was perfect for swinging. We always miss Justin when he is on drill or away training. The days are longer without Dad home to help but one day I have a feeling I am going to miss these times with all three of my babies together.
The kids love the tree swing and it was probably my favorite purchase last summer.


                                         

Life as I know it.

Life as I know it changes daily. From the lows of grief and saddness to the highs of playing in the sunshine. I have realized its been a while since I have been on here, who knew life with three kids could take so much energy. HAHAHA
It has been a rough couple of months with moments of magic and laughter. Losing my Aunt Rhonda has been very difficult and I have realized over the years it does not matter when or how, losing a loved one takes a piece of you each time. I could go on and on how much she meant to me in my life but my heart is not ready to share. To be honest I think I am still processing the fact she is gone. During hard moments in life I am so blessed to have my three wild ones. They keep me on my toes but bring so much light into my life. On the days I think I may go crazy they are what keeps me going and striving to be better. God knew what he was doing when he gave them to me.

Cora has been a true blessing, especially during the low times of the past few months and weeks. She loves to cuddle and be held (maybe a little to much) Watching her grow and change daily makes my Momma heart happy. I am her favorite person with Jax being close behind. Although Justin is working hard on being her #1. She is just darling. Jax is excelling in school and still the funniest person I know. He still loves to have deep conversations and dances daily. He is still my sweet boy who still willingly gives me hugs. I will take it while I can.  He has started baseball and loves to make Cora laugh. Aria is sweet and sassy as usual, Justin and I have decided that she is a perfect mix of Princess Merida, Arya Stark, a wildling from GOT and a feral kitten. But she also loves big and gives the best hugs. She loves gymnastics, wearing legging with rainboots while jumping in "muddy puddles" She enjoys watching Peppa Pig and sometimes has a British Accent (which is my favorite thing ever) She is our little wildflower that is for sure.

Here are a few pictures of the past few months that stick out as my favorites.

Nothing is better than fall colors and these smiles.

I took a few snapshots today after school before all the leaves freeze off. I feel like fall came and past in the matter of minutes but it has been such a pretty one that's for sure. Jax is loving kindergarten. Aria loves life. Cora is such a sweet baby. Life is grand at the Thomas house. Here a few of my favorites.

Goodbye summer. Hello Fall.

Here are a few favorite pictures from square dance and our busy life with three kiddos. Its been hectic but fun thats for sure.

                                           First day of Thursday Bible School for our Aria

                                                          I mean those rolls make my day

From cheerleading to Kindergarten.

I used to LOVE the black and gold game as a child. Getting to perform just like the "big cheerleaders". I loved watching the pie auction and running around with my friends. It was so much fun watching Aria get to experience what I have done so many times. She loved it and totally showed everyone her moves. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the game. 

Jax...my sweet Jax is now in kindergarten....KINDERGARTEN. I feel like he should still be 2 years old at least. Time has flown by. I am proud that i held it together while dropping him off but I may have cried many tears going to bed lastnight. He has been so excited since registration. He loved helping get his backpack and lunch ready lastnight and did admit he was very nervous. This morning I was making him breakfast and I turned around to him fully dressed wearing his backpack at 6:15...he was READY. He was pumped to finally leave. Walking in the building he was very confident but the closer we got to his class he grabbed my hand and I could tell he was nervous. He went in and found his seat and the rest is history. He grabbed some colors and started coloring. I know he will have the BEST day and I can not wait to pick him up to hear all about his day.
