two much fun

pool day. more like pool hour for the babies - 15 minutes to reapply sunscreen.

she's awake!

happy girl!

Since my family was in for the holiday, we went to Six Flags for the first time since being in Texas. I hadn't been on a coaster since before pres and I thought I was literally going to die. Before her, I had no care or scare in the world. Now, I am ridiculously terrified of anything happening to me and since I'm slightly dramatic, I was convinced I was about to plummet to my death. 

My girl on the other hand takes after her daddy in that she is not afraid of anything on this planet. The first time she saw the coasters she said "I want to ride that!" And she would if she could. And she probably will be able to before any kid her age because she's so tall but for now she was happy with the kiddie coasters. In fact, I was holding on to her little bum for dear life out of fear she would launch out or because she was scared from the speed (those things go faster than they look) but of course, she was squealing with joy while I'm screaming and probably embarrassing her. It starts early.

her not amused face from me trying to get a pic of her outfit ;) 

incredible fireworks show to end the night. that in itself was worth the tickets.

july 4th 2013

Yes, I am aware that these pics were from almost two months ago and we are now almost in fall. Hell, some kids have already gone back to school and I'm just now getting to the fourth! I know there are some "mama" bloggers out there that have their holiday posts etc. up a week before or on the actual holiday but that's not how I roll. I don't like to spend my time making posts on things that haven't happened yet or that aren't in real time. It's so calculated and if you ask me and not genuine in the least bit. Sure having her pose before we set out on our day may not be an in the moment action shot but I like to do this because she normally gets peanut butter or remnants of cherry tomatoes all over her face, shirt, hands, hair and so on. Plus she never slows down long enough for a clear pic. Trust me I've learned my lesson in this girl's timing and natural rythem. 

My sister and I were just talking about something she read on an actress deciding to not have any social meadia outlets because she didn't want to spend her time talking about her life, she wanted to live it. There's a lot to be taken from that. So many people want to narrate their life to the point where nothing in it is sacred. Though I love being able to look back at Pea's physical growth through this blog, I like that there are so many memories I have in my head and heart that no one can have. I like to share glimpes but I like to keep most things to myself. 

...but I should totally narrate what Presley says. Tiny logic is magical.

 I love sneaking up on babies!

...night's festivities...

...it was a good one..
