My First PONY

Not sure I thought I would ever be blogging about a child's hair, but because it's my daughter (and the fact that she's fricken adorable) I can't help but second guess that thought!!  Here is Haley's first pony!  Hope this makes you smile as much me!!!

Play time and work time

I try to make Friday nights play nights.  I have the kids and I don't worry about putting lots of time for dinner and I try to limit the distractions (TV, cleaning, picking up, etc...).  We usually head downstairs and play!  It's fun to watch them play together and just observe their imaginations as well as play along with them.  They are both too funny and Braylen has always had an active immagination, but it's interesting to watch Haley try to figure out exactly what Braylen is doing with his random toys.

Who needs toys??

Especially when you have a HILARIOUS brother??!!  This Braylen's new favorite game, every morning and even he asks, "Momma, can i take the cushions off?"  We have also used this as punishment, AKA his cushion privileges get revoked for a day when he doesn't listen.  Who would have thought I would use couch cushions as a behavior tool??!!

Sprinting, but not getting anywhere

Do you ever feel like you are moving as fast as humanly possible in every aspect of your life, but you're physically not getting anywhere?  I am starting to feel that way and I feel as if it may crush me, at times.  I text Jeremy yesterday asking if we could hire someone to be us for a week and we could run off with the kids for a week of quality time.  He denied my request :(  Tax time is always busy and I feel as if this is a common feeling for me this time every year.  We get home from work, usually around 6:30 or 7 pm, feed the kids, give them baths and put them to bed with small conversations about the day and lots of hugs and kisses mixed in.  Fortunately I have an amazing, but currently extremely busy, husband and 2 hilarious, adorable and good kiddos!  We also have jobs and a house and many, many other blessings that I should be grateful for daily, but sometimes the day to day chaos makes me forget that.  Well, only about a month of tax season left and by that time the weather will start changing and brightening up!  Here is what is keeping me sane, as well as making me crazy sometimes, in the mornings and evenings we spend together!!


OK, so it's time I get going on this...

I'm going to update info from most recent to before holidays, so bare with me!!!  I plan to post date info, so look back to get up to date on our BUSY lives!!!
XOXO
