Life with Monkey in is way better! after 5 long weeks of him being away he finally came home! All of us running to him at the airport almost made my chest explode! I love him so much. We had a surprise breakfast telling Dad what we were having! A fancy french toast croissant breakfast! A GIRL!!! We are all shocked! August took off and so many things have happened and I love every minute.

 

Many teas parties at our house!

 

 Belle Natalie's first day of Kindergarten! My feelings were all over the place! I have seen this girl go through everything! Her hard times, good times, sassy times, falling times, triumph times, etc! And letting her go from 8-3 everyday was very bitter sweet. I have realized how much I love having her every day! She is my number one helper! She makes me laugh and go crazy! She keeps me on my toes and I adore her for everything she is! It's hard for me to have her away. But she was so happy and excited to be in school! I was so proud of her.

Now I am left with these two!!! hahah

 

 The Fair..... Corn dogs, rides, stinky animals, and spending wayyyy too much money! Priceless

 

  

 Mountain trip with everyone coughing! Needed fresh air!

 

This is what happens in my house almost all the time!!!

 

Sometimes in life you don't get what you want when you want! I have really tried to help Paige learn to be potty trained! I got her a potty and potty pants and bribes.... you name and this little one is just like Belle... She will do it... when she wants! Thank goodness I learned the hard way with Belle by pushing her to be potty trained when I wanted her too... it was horrible! So this time from experience I am just going to let this happy girl do it when she wants! It will better for all in the long run!!! 

 

 Elephant Butte for Labor Day... This was quite the time! Belle, Cash, Paige, and I all had that respiratory flu thing for awhile and for Labor we still had it but for some crazy whim we thought it was a brilliant idea to go to a lake 2 hours away. We packed up and headed to the Lake which was so jam packed that we spent half the time finding a spot... we got to our spot had a picnic and then smelt all the gas from the boats and coughed so bad... then Belle threw up and that was the end of our Labor Day Lake trip! At least we were happy and coughing!

 

I am trying to make dairy free like its normal!!! So I am trying every concoction possible to make it taste and look normal! I love this chocolate chip cookies! And I really love to bake... when I am not tired!
