5 Things I LOVE...

5 things that I LOVE this week...

1. MESSY HAIR DAYS. the days you look in the mirror or at your child and you tell yourself "oh well its summer"

2. I GOT YOU by JACK JOHNSON. i love this artist anyways but this song melts my heart.  i can't get enough of it.
                                                     
 3. BRIGHT BEDROOMS. i love that bright bedrooms are in style right now for kids.  this bedroom is just adorable and makes me want to redo KJ's bedroom so bad.

4. SNACK TIME. nothing replaces the small moments when we can let our hair down, get a little messy/sticky and eat some yummy snacks together.

 5. Candy Crush. i have become obsessed with this game.  its so incredibly addicting and the time i should be spending doing productive things i am usually caught playing this game.

Can I wear that?....

There have been many phases in KJ's life that just crack me up! The one that she is currently going through just brings constant laughter from me.  To understand you have to realize that KJ refuses to let me put any kind of hair accessory on.  I don't mean if she discovers it then she takes it out or she will pull it out if she feels me putting it on or sees herself in the mirror. I mean the moment she sees me have a hairband in my hand she will start shaking her head, throwing her hands in the air, or by the chance I do get it in her hair it immediately comes off!  I thought that I had discovered the trick and that was to put in silk ribbons around her head making it harder for her to grab but that only lasted one day when she spent it all trying to get the thing off of her head! A friend of mine suggested putting her in front of the mirror and putting it on while telling and showing her how pretty she is with it telling it works with her daughter.  This did nothing but let her realize where she was grabbing so she could get it out sooner!  The point of the background story is that KJ puts everything she can on her head.  Doing laundry with her around is pointless because she is grabbing all the clothes and stacking them on her head.  I often find her coming out of our room with clothes draping from her.  The down fall for her that I can't help but laugh at is when it falls over her eyes and she starts running into things! The entertainment of a mom!

SUMMER Swimming!

One of my favorite parts of summer/ Life in general is swimming! Lucky for me I married someone who loves swimming just as much as me! With the both of us having such a great love for swimming our poor daughter gets forced into having to love it as well! We have already tried to get as much swimming as we could!  We even purchased ourselves a small pool nothing fancy or big but enough for us to hop in and let KJ play around in. We love it! There is something about the sun, water, and some snacks that make for the perfect day! 

(P.S its not fair that she can look so cute in a swimsuit)

SUMMER Parks!

I love going to the park.  I think as a mom it is as much of a get away for me as it is for KJ! Time seems to just fly by when we head to the park. We have a park close by that lets us enjoy ducks, tons of open space, and a playground, so its the perfect fit for us. 

  We have already spent many days at the park and I am sure many more to come this summer!

SUMMER Animals

Summer is finally here and we couldn't be more thrilled about it.  I live for the summer and for me the hotter the better.  We have been so busy soaking up all the warm fresh air that I haven't got around to blogging and updating much.  To kick off summer  we went to the the zoo!  KJ loves animals.  I haven't been around a lot of babies but she seems to love them more then any other baby I have been around. So the zoo was her kind of place and I don't think she would let us leave EVER if it was up to her! 

We also were to attend baby animal days!  This is was heaven since she was actually allowed to touch the animals!  I felt a little sorry for the smaller animals since KJ hasn't exactly got a handle on how to pet nicely!  But we are working on it!
