The dentist, baseball and a birthday!

Things are picking up for us which has been nice! If I keep busy, then all is good in our world :) We dont sit at home alot...our house is much smaller than our last house (tear tear, I miss that house so much) so we dont stay couped up in here for long!

 She did a MILLION times better than her last trip to the dentist in KY. Like she was crying so hard they said we'd have to leave...ouch!

 Owen's first trip to the dentist...he was fine until they looked his way and then he realized he was next!

 They both got to ring the "no cavity" bell but Owen was traumatized so he was a little mad, but wouldnt give the bell up!

 He's ready to play!

 So we had Hannah's first baseball game last weekend and it was an early one- 8 am! So it was hot, the kids have to wear the whole get up. The tight, hot pants. The thick, tall socks. Cleats, belts, hats, everything. Well you know thats going to send my child into a tizzy because NONE of it "feels" her right. So there was a meltdown. A BIG one. It lasted a while, crying, didnt want to play but didnt want to leave. She did get up to bat, but I had to get up there with her. But she is so good both times she got up to bat she hit the ball on the first pitch! And they play coach pitch! I was very proud of her. But it took awhile for her to calm down. Im hoping this Saturday isnt as bad....we'll see!

 Sissy's biggest cheerleader!

 Hannah and Maddie on the same team again :)

 Mid meltdown ha ha

LOVE making shirts with my silhouette...best thing ever!!

 My birthday was Monday so we went to the Hibachi grill and the kids didnt know what to think. They liked it but werent sure about the fire. It was fun and different though! And the food is always amazing!

 They made me a cake too :)

 After we picked Hannah up from school we went to a birthday lunch with my neighbor!

 She was not sure!

 Not gonna lie, Owen was better at chopsticks than I am!

 It was a great day!!

Annndddd...just because...ha ha. this kid!

Labor Day Weekend in Cali!

Like Ive said time and time before...Jeremy is in his super busy season which I remember last year being SO hard. Like no friends, Hannah was still 3 (enough said, right?!) and we were relatively new here. I remember taking the kids to California alone and wasnt sure if I could bring myself to come back ha ha. This time has been a MILLION times better. But we still decided to go to California for the long weekend to give Jeremy a break. It was nice to get away! I always dread the 4 hours in the car because I cant count on the kids napping anymore but its really not that bad. They really do good. We stopped a couple times but that helps me too.
We had a great time and swam ALOT. Thankfully we were able to use their neighbors pool and that was great. They both are little fish!

 We love getting to watch sweet baby Duke grow!!

 The kids LOVE him!

 And Owen loves his toys :)

They were both out one morning...swimming is one of the best things for kids, am I right?!

 We went to dog beach, which is a section of the beach just for dogs to run and play. The kids had a great time!

We filled the trip with fun, food, ice cream, water and more! So thankful we have them 4 hours away!!!
