We are alive!!

Oh my goodness its been so long! I have so much catching up to do... or not. Maybe I will just keep updated from here on out. :) Well we made it to Virginia!! We are safe and all settled into our little apartment. Its so green and gorgeous and we are only 15 minutes from Washington DC. Austin got right back into the swing of selling and its going to be a GREAT summer! We are really excited for another summer of adventures to add to our books. We went and did some exploring in DC yesterday and cant wait to see all of it. Last week I took Dax to the Zoo with some other moms and there kiddos. It was a lot of fun and the best part is its FREE! That's one thing I am more then happy about, pretty much everything to tour in this great Nations Capitol is Free! Doesn't get better then that!

Dax didn't quite know what to think of GIANT Lincoln. He was pretty fascinated



This little squirrel came right up to us and wanted some food! So we shared our trail mix and it would eat right out of the kids hands! I think this was their favorite part.

Pictures with my monster

Last week I did a favor for a friend and had a photo shoot with her sweet newborn baby boy (So much fun! Maybe I will share them if I get permission) But while we were waiting me and Daxey Boy had a photo shoot! We think its summer around here already

A mind of his own

This is how Dax insisted to go to bed tonight. He screamed like we were ripping his arm off when we tried to take it off. So Daxten is snug as a bug up in his bed safe as can be with his helmet on! Oh I love my son.

We all have bums!

So Dax's new facsination is lifting up Sadie's tail and going ewww. Ewww.

So this morning we were all laying in bed and Dax was going off over and over, eww ewww while lifting Sadies tail up. So I finally said Dax, Sadies bum isnt gross we all have bums. So I pointed to his and said you have a bum then pointed to Dads and said Dad has a bum and then to mine, so does Mommy. We all have bums and they are not ewww. He thought for a second... then patted me right on my bum and with that look of absolute disgust said Ewwwwwww!!!!! Well I tried.

This kid kills me

He knows him

For Valentines Day Austin got me this gorgeous marble Christus. I LOVE IT! But when Dax was down for a nap the other day I put it up on the shelf in the front room. Well Dax walked past it the other day for the first time and stopped, looked up and pointed and went ohhhh.... he knew exactly who it was. My heart just beamed. Now no matter where we are in the house you go where's Jesus? And he will run in and point to him up on the shelf and say Jssus. It melts me

What makes my world go round...

Today was a great day! Some crappy things happened that we had to take care of that probably should of put me in a really bad mood, but it didn't.I got to hang with my boys today and that's all that matters to me! My life is not perfect. Me and the Mr fight, I lose my patience with my son, I say the wrong things, I yell..a lot, I hate to clean, my list could go on and on but Life is to short to dwell on the bad. When life throws you lemons you grab them by your BARE hand and you squeeze yourself a nice tall glass of lemonade and you sit down put your feet up and drink! Life is good. Here are some things that remind me to always be happy...

complete innocence

laughter

unconditional love. even when he thinks I am crazy

My boys

It was my Birthday this week. I LOVE my Birthday :) This is how my day went..

I woke up to my sweet SON wearing a cheetah print headband while playing football ( I figure they cancel each other out so I let it go)

I love him

We dropped his little bum off at grandma and grandpa Clark's and Austin and I went and played! We shopped and then went and stayed in a cute little resort under Camelback mountain. (compliments of our American Express Points) It was this old Mediterranean mansion from the 1900's that was made into a resort and so darling! I was in heaven with all there Amazing Antiques!

We had dinner at T. Cooks the resorts restaurant and I ate and ate and ate. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
Pesto, tortellini,butter poached lobster, chocolate fudge cake, gelato.. I couldn't stop



The next morning we got up and hiked Camelback Mtn. It was a lot of fun and a Beautiful Day!

It was a GREAT Birthday!

And then it was back to real life...

Dang it I love this little Monster

Hope everyone had a great Week!
