Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day! Makaela loves her Daddy something fierce, and rightly so. He's the greatest.


He makes everything more fun. Makaela laughs harder, smiles bigger and loves deeper because of this guy right here.

Nothing makes my heart happier than when I see these two together. Whether they are having a sing-a-long in the car, sharing pancakes, or playing soccer - every moment is cherished.

Father's Day 2014
My how someone has grown.

Father's Day 2013
I don't say it enough, but thank you for being you Tim. Thank you for always loving me and your baby girl. I love you.

We haven't dropped off the face of the Earth

We really haven't dropped off the face of the Earth. I have SO much I want to blog about but it's been a little impossible this past week. Work has been busy, we have family in town and oh yeah Mak got 3 more molars in one day and there are a few more just waiting to break through. Yep, I'm being a whiny mama, I have no shame.

Makaela has been having a really hard time with this round of teething. From projectile vomiting, to just general all day whining, and no naps, it's been rough for everyone.

But I promise, we've squeezed in some fun lately and I have the pictures to prove it which I will post as soon as I can pull together a coherent thought/post :)

Pool days

The pool is open and we are l-o-v-ing it! Each time we go Mak gets more comfortable, and more courageous. She really enjoys the splash area, but also loves when Daddy or Mama takes her all the way in the pool to swim. Mak always has her eyes on the big kids. God, before we know it she'll be jumping right in.



Makaela is a true southern girl now and has all of the must-have essentials for staying safe in the sun, while still having fun. 

We really appreciate how easy going she is when it comes to wearing a hat, sunnies, and water shoes. She doesn't love the sunscreen application part, but at this point, she has accepted it, haha. 


Oh and we've tried a couple swim diapers - a reuseable one from the Honest Company - LOVE! Granted, she hasn't gone potty in it yet, so we might change our tune if that happens ;) 

Also, loving the disposable Lil Swimmers, but they can get a little pricey if we're using them often!

In addition to spending time at the pool, we along with our friends have started to bust out the kiddie pools and sprinklers. The kids are having a blast!








And we have a blast watching the silly things they do and snapping photos of the ridiculous faces they are always making...



Someone thinks they are hot stuff, I won't name names ;-)
