First day!

Can you believe it! Kai and June are both in school. The girls are attending Bambini this year and I am so excited to have them attending this school. I hope it holds up to all I have dreamed it would be. The space is beautiful, bright and fun. I think the girls will love coming here during the week and making wonderful memories. June barley had time to wave good bye to me this morning. She was busy playing the moment we walked in the building. Kai was a little more cautious. She let me hug and kiss her good bye. Both the girls picked out thier own outfits this morning much to my dismay. I would have fancied them up a bit, but whatever they like makes my heart happy. I love you girls to the moon and back. Go make your memories:)  

This is what end of day looks like. They survived the first day:)

Things I love for me

Things I love 

My Kids, my husband and family are a given to make my heart skip a beat, but what about the other thing that make my heart soar. Not the mommy heart or the wife heart, but the my heart for me. This heart is easy to forgot once babies enter your life and is often forgotten for a while, but it is good to rediscover that heart and find out if you can still make it skip. So here is my list. I am so thankful that I have craved out time in my life again to find it.

Wakeboarding 

I love it. I don't get to do it often, but when I do there will be a smile on my face and a laugh in the air. I will walk away with jelly legs and a smile. 

Photography 

When I capture that image that makes me feel proud I smile inside. I love the feeling of "I did that" I made something that makes me feel proud. 

Art

I  sometimes will make art. I  just got done with a ceramic wheel class and I like to paint a little or redo some furniture and love the joy I feel that I created something beautiful. 

Jet skiing 

I love going fast and bounding over waves. I love the smell of the water moving though the air and my arms wrapped around my husband. I love boating too.

Scuba diving 

Seeing the life under the water  we don't see until you are in there with them. It's bright, serene and relaxing.

Sitting on a ocean beach. Enough said about that one. Who's heart is not happy sitting on a beach smelling the salty air. 

I also love pushing my comfort zone and trying new things. I love getting an adrenaline rush and finding time to read a book.

A rainbow listed us while we were jet skiing. Happy time

Rainbow

My girls

My girls are the most amazing rays of light I know. They almost sparkle.

What Kai likes right now
Kai enjoys swimming and anything art, including play dough, water painting, and assembling collages. I have had to sharpen my negotiation skills as she is alway trying to make a deal with me to get more candy or cake. The girl loves her sweets.

What June likes right now

June is enamored with Kai. She will do anything that Kai is doing, including the things that Kai should not be doing. June is still a climber a bit of a picky eater, but loves milk.  She carries a bunny and sucks her thumb. She like to say "pick up me" She loves her "mobies" including the Minions. 

This girl

This girl brings so much joy to this heart.

Summer time

Summer time is about ice-cream cones and sunshine. Both out in full force this day. Perfect:)

Block Art

Kai is very creative and often makes things I would not even know where to begin.

This is a giraffe. It's needs turned to the right 

This is Kai 

Just keep swimming

 Kai learned how to doggie paddle in the pool this year. It was a lot of hard work for her and we still have a long ways to go, but making progress. Go Kai!!

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July we had a great week at the lake. I am so thankful to spend time with the family.

4th weekend

The 4th was filled with family love, boating and fishing. The weather could have been a little better but we made the best of it. Spent every minute outside when it was not raining.

They both have a fish on

Kai caught this catfish all by herself 

Cousin time 

Play time

Kai calls this a bubble party.  It involves bubbles and music and they love it. 

I'm not sure why she was running
from Kai, but she was determined.
