Chocolate milk Anyone?

Love our mornings together.

It's the little things that make my world go round. 

Where Is Maya?

Maya loves to hide throughout the house. On several occasions she's managed to scare us silly. Throughout the day I'll ask, "Where is Maya?" and Isa will reply, "I don't know!" After about a 5-10 min Maya-Hunt we'll find her hiding in a far corner of a closet, in my craft room, in a laundry basket, underneath our dining room table, behind curtains, covered up in Bella's bed, lying in a bathroom tub, in daddy's office or simply behind doors.  We've caught on to all her tricks and her favorite places so she pulled a new one on me the other day. 

The trick was - it was just too easy. 

OH Maya, I can just see it, you're going to be my special child. 

The one who will bring me gray hair and sleepless nights. 

I LOVE YOU, my brown-eyed girl. 

Splishy Splashy Pad

A summer favorite along with this...

this has been a major hit this summer.  

This see-saw is amazing! It not only goes up and down but it also spins.

The fact that I can transport this in and out of the house throughout the day makes for 

one happy mama and two happy chickadees.

Zoo Fun.

Let's play Catch Up! Last week was full of Zoo Fun. Isabel attend her first Summer Camp! She participated in the OKC Zoo's 3 yr. old "Lions, Tigers and Bears. Oh My!" program. This was the first time I had ever left her in the care of strangers. I was really nervous as to how she would take it or behave while in a foreign setting. She did magnificent. Her teachers loved her.


She loved the idea of transporting a lunch bag around and got a kick out of "saving" some of her food for later. I don't know what that was all about but whatever. I packed all of her favorites so I'm assuming she was in no hurry to eat it all because when we'd arrive home the first thing she wanted to do was finish her lunch. Funny girl.


While Isabel was busy enjoying and exploring with animals, Maya & I got to spend some girl time. I really enjoyed having alone time with my littlest girl. Scott decided to take a day off and join in on some Maya time. We had a great time loving and spoiling this girl! She is growing up so fast! Ugh, I don't like that at all!



Peacocks and Rhinos seem to be amongst her favorite. Have you ever seen a white peacock?






We were happy to have him spend a workday having fun with Us.





The girls had a great week of Zoo Fun!
Luckily for Us, the zoo fun doesn't end here. Scott's Aunt Sissy was sweet to gift the girls a Zoo Pass! Thank you very much Aunt Sissy! We are looking forward to using this ALL year long!

34th Birthday Weekend

34.
I'm thirty-four years old.
WOW!
All I can really say about it is, that I welcome my new year with a great big smile. I have lots to be thankful for.
Thirty-four doesn't scare me. Really, aging has never scared me. I've always felt comfortable in my own skin no matter what age.
Scott likes to refer to me as, "Just like fine wine, you grow better with the years". If he says so, I believe it. In the end, his opinion is the only one that truly matters :)


For my 34th he treated me to weekender down in Sulphur, Oklahoma. We stayed at this lovely Bed & Breakfast.


It was beautiful and peaceful. It was the perfect birthday gift.





During our stay I was able to relax, sleep, enjoy their spa services and indulge in their good food. The food was absolutely phenomenal!

We left there feeling reenergized and refreshed.


At 34, I love where I'm at in life, whose in my life, what I have in life, what I don't have in life, the direction we're headed in life and absolutely comfortable and confident in my own skin. Living Life. Feeling Life. Loving Life.
Cheers to my 34th! There's lots to smile about!



Thanks Babe for peaceful weekender and to my In-Laws for keeping our girls so that Scott & I could enjoy some time together.

Park Fun

Now that we have beautiful weather I put forth effort in doing the simplest things that bring us the most fun. In this case, that would be making trips to the park before 10am! Early morning seems to be the best time to be at the park. The climate is great and we have the entire jungle gym to ourselves. Nothing puts a great big smile on my face than seeing these two giggle, play and chase each other though out the park. Fun times.

OH Maya, one day you shall smile for the camera.
