Marry Poppins

Mickell and I decided to go see this fabulous show last week and it truly was AMAZING maybe my favorite Broadway show EVER!!! The music was so good and the dancing and Marry Poppins was unreal good! If you have the chance to see it... run don't walk! SO so so good!!!

Baylee walking

14 MONTHS...yesterday

Oh how time flies....I can not believe it. It makes me really sad actually to think about it, but at the same time it is so fun watching your kids grow and learn and see bits and pieces of their personalities develop. Right now Baylee is starting to walk more and more each day. She says quite a few words, Mommy, Daddy, "Bake" for Blake, thank you, cookie, eat, shoes, hi and hello, night night, peek boo, and the dreaded no, just to name a few. Although she will not repeat unless she is in the mood! She is quite the sassy pants, she has a serious opinion and lets everyone know! She is such a daddy's girl and LOVES to cuddle and be held all the time. She has a huge heart and is very kind. Around babies she is very gentle and loves to stare at them and smile. She loves the water and loves to be outside. She loves Tubby Time. One of my favorite things she is doing right now is when we sit down to eat and when we are reading books before bed she folds her arms to say a prayer. I love it! I love her!
Happy 14 months baby girl. I love you!

"Ssscheese"

Baylee is such a fun little girl. She totally smiles when I get the camera out and says "Ssscheese" I seriously want to eat her up!

13 Months and WALKING...

Finally...
This little girl has "ALMOST" been walking for 2 months and it finally happened! She is so cute and gets so excited every step she takes! I LOVE it! She is very proud of herself.

Happy Father's Day

First to my man. You make the best dad ever! Our children couldn't be happier, you make them smile, laugh, feel safe and secure and your dream is to have their dreams come true! I love you so much! Thanks for all that you do.
And to my dad... you are amazing. I look up to you in more ways then you know. You are strong, honest, supportive, spiritual, fun loving, and would do anything for anyone of your children. I love you and am blessed to have YOU as my dad.

The Park

a few more. I love these kids!!!!

Kelly and Charlotte

We had so much fun with Kelly and Charlotte! We did the city thing, ate, played, went to the park, and just hung out. I hate being far from family we miss you guys SO much! We love you!

Mandy and Stella

My friend Mandy (who I have been friends with since 7th grade) and her daughter Stella came to visit us in Chicago and we seriously had so much fun, the kids played so well together, we went to the zoo, ate at great restaurants, got pedicures, shopped and Mandy and I talked for hours and hours catching up and reminiscing about old times. We had such a great weekend!

RAINY day...

AGAIN....This weather is so NOT fun!
Since it was raining I decided to take my niece Clara to the fabric store and she picked out fabric and we made this. She was so excited about her new blanket!

My 2nd Project!

I am kind of hooked....on SEWING! Weird i know, but I am having a lot of fun with it. I went the other day to get some fabric to make Blake a blanket (not that he needs one) and I couldn't find any fabric I liked, but I did find this and loved it! So I decided to make a girly blanket. Here it is!

We LOVE the Zoo...

So I am so glad we bought a zoo pass because we go at least once a week! There is so much to do... they have this Dinosaur Alive exhibit that has life-size Dinosaurs that move and make noises. Blake... Well all the kids LOVED it! It was so cute because they were totally scared but at the same time couldn't get enough and they were just in awe. We are having lots of fun!

It's June 1st...

and we are finally getting to swim!

Chicago...so far.

Just a few pics of what's been going on. The kids are loving Chicago, there are so many fun things to do here. Almost everyday we go somewhere fun... it's kind of like a very long vacation?!
