Our week at Grandma and Grandpas house (Pics and vid's !)

Fresh from a bath, watching our fav Baby Einstein episode (Baby Mc Donald, Liam sings along to the Ee-Ii-Ee-Ii-Oo parts so cute) and chillin on g-ma and g-pa's deliciously comfy cozy bed.

(Note to self: must get Down EVERYTHING for our bed at home.)

Sammy was throwing a fit....Daisy came over to show brother some lovins.

 Jenny left to spend a few weeks in Orlando....we're gonna miss her! 

My little sneaky, sneaking off to explore ;)

The shirt says it all 

:)

We stayed the week at Jason's parents BEAUTIFUL house, while they spent some time up north for our nephews high school graduation party (Congratulations Matt!) and to see fam.

After getting past the challenges of making sure to hide and or put up any and all things breakable (eek), relocating trash cans (Oh Daisy), blocking all stairways, removing all choking hazard items from little hands reach (Oh Sammy) and getting everyone settled in (Liam has a hard time with change sometimes, but impressed us with being the easiest to handle after the first initial day/night was all said and done)
It took about a day or so, but then we really got to enjoy the rest of the time spent here.
The kids lala-loved the big jacuzzi tub, the piano has been a hit on a daily basis and their garden and backyard area is so relaxing and fun for the kids to explore. There are quaint little stone paths leading to the back and around the house...beautiful flowers everywhere, benches and cool little statues and such..... has a sort of secret garden-esque vibe. Love it.

After getting the kids down at night, we made use of the pool table almost every evening, and I actually played semi decent! Made me miss hanging out at School House billiards back in my high school days!

I also really enjoyed being able to spend some time with my long time friend turned sister in law, Rosemary. Its interesting where life takes you. If I had not been friends with Roey oh so many many years ago ( i think I met her and became friends when i was about 13 and she was 15 or 16 and met Jason shortly there after), there would have never been an Alex and Jason! I mean he and I didnt hook up until I was 18 but who would have thunk that I was going to marry Roe's big brother and we'd become family? Still funny to think about sometimes. We had some good times, she and I and the rest of our crazy ass crew back in the day. We were wild and free! lol

Its been a treat staying here and being able to spend some time with my homie.
Also I want a convection oven. Hello, this thing rocks.

I am blessed.

Adore my 3 little birds.

Love my fam.

Cray-ness and all.

Love and light,

cant get this song out of my brain today....

Sammy's first haircut

Sam and Daisy- taking over Super Cuts. ;)

^ Before....

(His hair was getting very long and the front got a little jacked up from my attempt to trim it up the night before....thus our visit to the hair salon! You know how I roll....lol)

Sammy did such a good job! Just a few whiny moments but overall, he was a trooper! Nothing a lollipop cant take care of :)

After!

What a handsome little guy. Love my little Sammy G.

Mothers Day

What Liam brought home from school. 

So simple, but made my day :)

*

The 3 little birds (with a lil bit of help from Tia Jenny) made this for me... 

*heart melts*

Jenny took me out for a Mothers Day lunch :)

This past mothers day.....I was spoiled more than any mothers day thus far. In fact, i dont think it will be topped any time soon. I am ok with that. lol

Mothers Day morning, I awoke to little Liam climbing into bed for our morning snuggle before we get up for the day.

Shortly there after, Jason walked in, holding what looked like a tray from far away (I didnt have my contacts in...). I thought, aw, breakfast in bed! He got closer to me and i realized , it was a box. 

I sat up and started to try to get my brain to wake up and function.....is that a laptop??????? 

The rest of the day went by just as beautifully. Lunch date with Jenny, movies and dinner with Daddy and a day of love all around.

....the entire weekend was lovely. 

Did I mention the laptop? 

Happy mothers day to me!

Love and light,

A

Schoooooooolsssss out for SUMMER!

Waiting for Liam's bus on the last day before his first summer vacation!

^ Trying to get my phone to play games. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MOMMMMMMMM....

He's serious about his games. 

Off you go!

We were invited to visit Liam's classroom on the last day (and bring treats too of course) 

He was so excited to see us :)

*love*

Mrs. Brenda :)

She is Miss Jill's aid, and she is wonderful. This was her last year before retirement, and we are going to miss her!  

Miss Jill! :)

Time to go home! 

(Walking Liam to his bus)

Liam REALLY enjoys riding the bus , and i didn't want him to miss out on his last ride before summer break just because we came to visit. We live like 2 miles away, so my goal was to speed racer my way home to try to beat his bus... Just in case though, Grandma was there keeping an eye on the twins and was prepared to be out there to meet him. Good thing  because I pulled up right as he was getting off! lol

Liam's first year of school went by in a flash! 

The year was filled with many surprises, joy's, breakthrough's, challenges, and beautifully eye opening moments. 

We learned a lot, and continue to do so. We look forward to what the new school year will bring!

We are INCREDIBLY PROUD of our Liam Oliver!

Love and Light,
