Monday Morning 9am

Some mornings are smooth, others are...not. Monday morning was not. After what felt like a half of a day already, I loaded both kids in the car and had no idea where I was going, but we had to get out of the house. We drove along the coastline and ended up at Lover's Point. At 9am.
We basically had the beach to ourselves, it was silent, the kids were happy, and the sun was out. 
Sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes, and I am thankful the beach is down the street :)

Trolley Ride

Oma, Harper, Hunter, Wyatt, and I all rode the free trolley around town last week and it was fun! Hunter's favorite cartoon character rides a trolley in the show, so he was super excited to ride around town and hear the bell ding. We stopped at Cannery Row to let the kids run around and then got back on to head back. Thanks for the idea Oma!

Suns Out, Buns Out

This water table has been getting a lot of use lately! The weather has been beautiful and the boys have so much fun playing in the water. I have a million photos of them splashing around out there - so fun!

The Sweetest Sicky and Other Hunter-isms

Can we just talk about how sweet Hunter has been recently? He has been sick - terrible fever, sweats, chills, hardly sleeping, and a cough. It is so sad! But throughout this week of sickness, he has been so polite and sweet. As much as I hate seeing him sick (and being stuck inside watching cartoons all day), I am loving his attitude. 

For my own memory, I have to document these things, especially since age three is approaching rapidly and I may need this for my sanity.

-Hunter asks me to lay in bed with him before his nap/bedtime to read the same two books: Ten Apples Up on Top and Brown Bear, Brown Bear.
-He almost always says thank you. This is big for me since I feel like I push "please" and "thank you's" on both kids a million times a day. Makes me feel good to hear thank you from my two year old, even when I am not expecting it.
-He is obsessed with the measuring tape right now and takes it with him everywhere. He took it to the dentist office so he could show the doctor his "nammers" (numbers). He asks me to help him measure everything: his toe, his foot, Cooper, etc. It's so sweet.
-When he doesn't want to do something, he says "no thank you mommy, not right now/I'm not ready yet." It's so cute I have a hard time arguing with him.
-The way he asks to wear his "undies"
-Through all the snot and coughing he still manages to tell him how much he loves me.
-Hunter emphasizes the "s" at the end of words. "Yeah-S, mommy"  -- Robert and I laugh in silent, as it is hilarious. 
Sappy, but I don't want to forget these moments.

Birthday Party

Last weekend we headed north to celebrate Rosie and Raymond's third birthdays. There was face paint, pinatas, cupcakes, and coloring. Hunter opted out of the face paint, but dove right into the pinata candy. Wyatt loved lunch and went for a rainbow on his face.
Such a fun day with friends!

First Dentist Appointment

Hunter had his very first dental appointment today. Happy to report we are cavity free! We recently bought him a power toothbrush, which he loves, and that has made brushing a lot of fun around here. He loves pushing the on/off button and and putting the toothpaste on. 
We celebrated with a thrifty scoop of ice cream (tradition!) and came home for naps. 
Nice job, Hunter!

Mother's Day 2016

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. This year Opa hosted a brunch for all of the moms in our family, including extended family, and it was so nice! 
I am so thankful to be a mom to Hunter and Wyatt and even more thankful that we are welcoming another little baby into our family. It is not always easy; in fact, this "season" is challenging for us with two toddlers, but the good by far outweighs the bad and I am happy to be called Mom. 

Next year there will be three and I couldn't ask for more!

Thank you for a nice day filled with lots of love and thank you to my mom for everything you have done and continue to do for me!
