Excuse our months of MIA....Life with two, 2 and under is a bit hEcTiC :)


I know, I know our last post was about Valentine's Day and here it is August 1st! Whoops!! Let me catch you up quickly...well as quickly as I can while sharing adorable pictures! That's what Momma's are suppose to do, right?!

March:

*We attended "zoo school" at the Nashville Zoo and Britton absolutely LOVED it!! He is not afraid of anything and very eager to see and touch each new animal!

*I return to work from maternity leave. :( A huge boo can be inserted here.) My kids had to be "retrained" and it was stressful, but I was glad to see their face again.....most of them! :)

*Foster started daycare with Britton. He did incredible, Momma on the other hand was a different story!
* I participated in my first consignment sale as a seller. It was quite the success and I actually just signed up to do the same sale for the fall!
*The Lipscomb Jamaica Mission group went to sweet Jamaica without Kyle AND without me. I had such mixed feelings about this. I wasn't ready to leave Foster and at the same time my heart ached the entire week knowing that I was not getting to spend such precious time with my Jamaican family.
* I had a wonderful birthday week that included a new car, iPhone and camera....oh, yeah I turned 29! Yikes, so close to 30!! I've decided I am loving my life right now and it can only get better, so bring on 30! :)


*We celebrated St. Patrick's Day to the fullest! Trails of clovers left by our visitors, special shirts, green food and even green water for our baths!

April:

*Foster turned 6 months old....so we of course had to celebrate his first half birthday!

*We celebrated Kyle turning 29! :) He had a weekend get-away with some of his fraternity brothers to start his celebration.
*Foster started oatmeal and rice cereal!

*We also hosted Easter again at our house, so much work, but so worth it!




May:

*Kyle planned a fun outdoor get-away for Mother's Day weekend. We spent the weekend at Fall Creek Falls hiking and playing. It was great and the boys had a good time too!


*We spent Memorial Day at Kyle's parents. We had a little cook-out and swimming....Britton is such a fish!


*Foster has his 6 month check-up and we were given the final go ahead to start him on baby food!! He decided he loved applesauce and sweet potatoes right away, just like his brother!

June & July:

Yay for being home with the boy's for the summer!! We had so much fun! We spent our days at the zoo, riding the "choo choo," play dates, swimming, learning to put on and take off our own shoes, going to visit family in NC and IN, having Kelcie stay with us for a week, and reconnecting with old friends with new babies. :)










We also went to the beach for a week in July, but that trip deserves it's very own post! :) Thanks for sticking with us, despite my lack of updates!
