Way to go Mama Juju!

I’ve hit 500 posts! I started this blog 4 years ago when I was just a few weeks pregnant with our little man.

I know I have a good amount of readers, so leave me some love by telling me how long you have been following my blog.

To celebrate 500 posts, here are my kids….the reason I started this blog in the first place.

Our little super hero. He ties his “blankie” around his neck as his cape…because he is a Super Hero and he can fly, ya know. We had an disagreement the other day because he wanted to “fly” off the couch. He couldn’t understand why I was telling him no, because in his mind he can fly!

And I thought this girl was going to be my quiet, shy one. Turns out I was wrong. She is an EXTREME people person and very alert. (They must get it from the Italian in me!) She just wants someone to look at her and talk to her. If so, she smiles and coos all day long.

She also furrows her brow often, like she is really trying to understand what you are saying.

Not sure what is going one here…

Love cloth diapering! I’ll blog about it soon.

Sage had a major growth spurt so she had to get a new brace. As you can see, she isn’t phased at all by this massive contractions. Love this girl!

Once again…NO PANTS!

That’s all folks!

I realize it has been 3 weeks sine we have returned from the beach, but I want to get the rest of these pictures up here on the blog.

Happy 10th Birthday to my FAVORITE NEPHEW! (I can say that since he is my only nephew, as of now that is. My SIL is due in October with a “surprise” so I might have another nephew soon.)

The girls!

So happy Seth captured a yawn! Babies are so cute when they yawn.

Our sad attempt to get pictures with the kids. When Abel was smiling, Sage was screaming. When Sage was sleeping or calm, Abel was not happy.

This one could have been good, but Sage kept sinking down into the basket.

My love…

The super fun Uncle Graham!

If we weren’t at the beach, you could find us here playing board games, using the iPAD or surfing the internet.

The man who makes this all happen! Thanks Dad! We love you!

The kids had so much fun with the dead crabs. Every year we catch crabs, but this year they died on us before Seth could cook them. So, the kids enjoyed making “crab soup.”

You know you want some…

This monster truck  is on our way to the beach and we knew Abel would enjoy it so we pulled over and had some fun at The Grave Digger’s headquarters.

FINALLY!

We have a picture of us as a family of 4! Only took 6 weeks. Kinda sad. We are so that “shoemaker who never has any new shoes”!

Thanks to my brother in-law Graham for snapping this picture. I’m pretty impressed with his skills considering we just handed him the massive camera with the lens that weighs 10lbs and he took it without any problems or complaints! Thanks Graham!

It’s true.

Seven years is how long I have been married to the man of my dreams!

Sadly, with all the chaos and craziness going on in our lives (good stuff) we kinda forgot about our anniversary. We got home really late last night after shooting a wedding and we did remember then and kissed each other and said “Happy Anniversary” at like 12:30am before dozing off to sleep. This morning as we rushing around trying to not be extremely late for church we both get text messages…low and behold, my mother in law sends us a “Happy Anniversary” text and reminded us how we had both forgotten. Ha!

I love you, babe, more than words could express. I wish I had the time to write a long post for my love for Seth, but currently I have a baby sleeping on my chest as I type this and one grumpy toddler begging me to get off the computer.

So to my Seth:
Life has taken us through many different twists & turns, ups & downs and I am so grateful you were the one by my side through all of it. Thank you for being the most adoring husband and loving me on my most awful days when I am not a pleasant girl to be around,. Thank you for taking care of us and providing for our little family. Thank you for being the most amazing daddy to our 2 beautiful children and thank you for being my faithful and brilliant business partner. I love you!
