Happy Birthday Jonesy!

Someone celebrated his birthday the other day.  

Holy cow how did I get here i have a kid going into second grade, who reads and writes and does math.  

He’s fun loving, quick witted, smart, enthusiastic, handsome, happy, and genuine.  He is quick to forget where he put his shoes but will remember everything I say “maybe” to.  This year has been a rough one for my outgoing extrovert but somehow we survived and thrived.  So glad i get to be your mom even if I need a vacation.  

Looking forward to another year of you.  

We celebrated with a Minecraft party with friends and I took like 5 photos all weren’t really great photography skills.  But survived the party.

Preschool Graduate

This little one graduated from preschool last month.  And she’s heading to kindergarten in the fall.  How did that even happen? 

This has been one crazy year + and yet here we are ready for elementary school.  She writes most letters, and is sounding out words and counting and her fine motor kids are on point.  She’s fast to make friends.  Can’t wait for this next step but first summer camps. 

 

Also other big milestone - preschool and summer camps are all paid for no more daycare costs for mommy.  

1 - family vacation

Last week we went on family vacation in Florida it was our 2020 trip in 2021.  It was much fun with the kids together and being at the beach and having a pool for a week.  

We relished in each other’s company.  

We invented 100 pool games and built many sand castles that were crushed before completion. 

We let the water crash into us.

We floated on top.

We took boats into the bay.

We ate ice cream everyday.

We swam with manatees.

Scooped up sand dollars.

Located starfish.

Collected shells big and small.

There was a synchronized swimming performance and the most ridiculous game of duck duck goose.

We saw the sunsets.

The boys all went fishing.

At the end of the trip we hit up Legoland.  

We ate big family meals.

We sat in Orlando traffic.

There were 100 loads of towels and equally as many reapplications of sunscreen.

We drank TONS of water.

We played hard and slept good. 

Can’t wait to do it all again.
