it's a crazy life

I cannot believe it is September! 

Where did the summer go??

Everything between May and Now was a blurrrrrrrrr.

Between buying a home, working our tails off, trying to soak up every moment of this stage of life, and finding time for sleep... our days, weeks, and years are just flying by. 

It breaks my heart! I was looking at pictures the other night from just 1 year ago- *cue ugly crying*.

My little babies are growing up too fast. haha how cheesy, right?? Motherhood, it changes you. 

I have a love/hate relationship with time.

I have to remind myself to just breath! slow it down! & enjoy these sweet beautiful babes. 

Enjoy the little mess makers, sticky kisses, & the sweet voices saying sill things.

My favorite things they say right are...

Hen- Right as I was about to get in the tub-"I pee pee in mom's tub." this was followed by uncontrollable laughter.

Daddy Coke = Chocolate Milk

"Mom do it." 

"Let's go to Mom's Store" Mom's Store = Target. lol, this should be enough for me to realize I have a problem. 

"i luv you mommy."

Bum Lotion = Baby Powder

I LOVE that Henry knows ALL truck names. 

I was getting him in his pajamas the other night and this was our conversation.

Me- "Henry these are the coolest jammies, they have a big excavator on them."

Hen- "NO MOM! it's a BIGGGG Backhoe." Chase was delighted to know that Henry is teaching me proper truck names.

Leena- First thing in the morning she gives me a list of demands. It usually goes like this.

L "Mom hold you, & blanket, & Flamingo, & Peppa, & Baby. Leena Hungy. Milk &... mmm BACON! Leena need ip stick, and kiss moms cheek. watch Mickey & Einsteins"

I kid you not- every morning she has new demands.

She loves food! That is always her go to for procrastinating bed time. "I'm Hungy!" haha!

"Benny sad Mom, I kiss him."

"Henry hold my Hand!" She loves holding Henrys Hand.

"Wear Henrys Shirt, Benny's pants." lol she LOVES wearing her brothers clothes. She and Benny are just about the same weight. She is a petite fire cracker. Always singing, dancing, and keeping up with Henry. 

Benny- He now laughs ALL the time. Constantly happy. So easy! 

He skipped crawling, and just flings himself across the room. He wants to badly to be up and running with H & L. In due time my child.

He eats ALL. DAY. LONG. 

Almost has a tooth... at least I pray it cuts through any day. ;) 

We just booked our trip to Disneyland in January! We cannot be more excited. Traveling with kids is one way to prove just how real the struggle is... but it's so worth it. We love making memories with our little family! 

My dear friend shared this video with me, and it hits SOO close to home. 

Breathe

"alarm clock screaming

bare feet hit the floor.

it's off to the races,

everybody out the door.

i'm feeling like i'm falling behind,

it's a crazy life.

90 miles an hour,

going fast as i can

trying to push a little harder

trying to get the upper hand.

so much to do, in so little time.

It's a crazy life.

its' ready, set, go

it's another wild day

when the stress is on the rise

in my heart I hear you say,

Breath, just breath....."

Listen to this song, It is amazing!

Beathe- Jonny Diaz

ps. we totally thought we were pregnant again - we are NOT. 

anytime we think we are pregnant it is all the feels. 

my heart was pounding waiting those 3 minutes. i don't know how i would've handled another babe right now... but then again i said that the past 3 pregnancies. ;).  we want more babes, just not anytime soon. give us a couple years!

those of you who know us, know we are extremely fertile. i mean- we've gotten pregnant twice while on birth control. BUT i am so grateful! i don't discuss it much because I have soo many friends dealing with infertility. it breaks my heart, but I have to remember that God has a plan for everyone. Everyone has their own trials, & everything happens for a reason. 

Know that I have all the good intentions to start blogging weekly, maybe even a few times a week.

xoxo- liv
