Life Lately

Life Lately... well I took a 3 month break from this whole blog thang.  Life for us has been pretty hectic.  I can't believe the last thing I posted was Lachlyn's birthday!!  I can't even believe that i haven't even blogged our crazy exciting news yet?!  - I'll get to that in the next post-  Between kids being out of school, moving into a fixer upper house, and me working practically full time now it's been hard to set aside time for this space.  But I have missed it!  I have missed writting.  I have missed taking endless pictures and posting them here.  I feel like I have missed the whole summer. 

Speaking of summer, tomorrow Rhone goes off to school! School!!! I can't even believe how fast this summer went.  I feel like I just wrote about him ending Kindergarten and now he's off to 1st grade.  He is so excited which is pretty huge when I think about just 4 short months ago he was crying crocodile tears about leaving his school and his friends.  This summer was so great and being in the new house for about 5 months now, he has adjusted a lot more to the neighborhood and his school which we purposefully took him to play and ride bikes all summer in hopes he would grow to love it.
 // can't wait to share his 1st day with you all soon//

This summer has been pretty full.  We worked hard but we also played hard.  We took some amazing trips full of great memories this summer.  2 Camping trips, kids stayed with the grandparents for a week by themselves, California, Disneyland, and many small weekend trips around WA.

But finally our big news is that we are expecting baby #3 this November!!!!

We are so crazy excited and it has been a long journey to get to this point.  This little baby GIRL is such a blessing from God and we are beyond ready for her.  I will try to post soon about her little story and how she came into our lives.

Coming into to this new season of fall and school starting I am excited to get back to updating my little space.  Love that this little diary of mine is so forgiving and love that I can write and share this part of my life here.   And although I have over 2000 pictures sitting here on my computer of just this summer, here are just a few of our summer.

Lachlyn's Party

So this past Sunday we had a full day of watching Lachlyn's ballet performance and then having her a garden birthday party! The weather turned out fantastic and although a couple of her besties were sick, she had a blast and the part was a success!  One of my favorite things is to celebrate my kids birthdays at home.  Having friends over, barbecuing, crafts, lots of treats, and happy tired kids is what makes it so wonderful.  I am obsessed with this little girl and she just gets better year after year.

Happy Birthday my little Lachlyn!  Crazy to think next year you'll be 5!

Lachlyn turns 4 years old today!

Happy 4^th Birthday Lachlyn Charley!

Lachlyn the love I feel is indescribable and I thank God each day that he entrusted me to be your mama.  Your gentle free spirit combined and your strong will makes you a brave and adventurous girl.  You are beyond your age and you take on everything your brother asks of you.   She loves playing “family” and doing anything art related.  Her favorite foods are pizza and waffles.  She is recently turned into a super girly girl who loves talking super heroes.  She also has been having conversations with herself all day long which cracks me up daily.  She won’t let me cook alone and you are obsessed with your daddy.  

We Love you Lachlyn.  Can't wait to see how you grow this next year with becoming a big sister and starting pre-school.
