Helllloooo 2019

Wow! Its been about 3 years or so since I've written my last post. I'm hoping to start blogging a little more so I can archive the memories we share everyday.

This year Sophia is in 2nd grade and Olivia is finishing up her last year of preschool. Yes that means my baby will be in Kindergarten next year. It feels like only yesterday that I was pregnant with Sophia. How are we now parents of an almost 8 year old and a 5 year old??? Slow down time!!!

To start of the New Year, I am going to share each of our 2019 goals and some pictures to showcase how gorgeous my family is :)

South Padre 2016

This trip goes down in the books as one of the best trips. Our close friends and us decided to take a trip down to South Padre. 6 adults, 5 kids! Of course the 5 hour trip down was a bummer and the kids asked every 5 min. if we were there yet. We spent mornings hanging out, cooking breakfast, going to the beach and just lounging. The kids had the best time and thought the house was Kyles house (Kyle is Christinas son and only 8). It was funny. We all agreed to make this a yearly trip.

Bahamas

We decided to take a big trip over the summer because Jason and I would be celebrating our 10 year anniversary and it was Sophia's last trip before Kindergarten. We decided on the Bahamas but were a little hesitant about the plane ride. The girls had never been on a plane and we didn't know what to expect. Come to find out, they did great. They loved the plane, snacking and looking out the window. I was relieved. The girls were excited about the trip, up until the days we showed them where we were staying and what we would do while we were there. It was awesome. We swam, ate, toured and even swam with Kalli, our dolphin. We got to see lots of turtles, fish, sharks and sting rays. It was an awesome trip and the girls still talk about it and how they want to go back.

 This is when Sophia swallowed her gum and she was so scared.

She thought she was never going to poop again, crazy kid.

 This was truly family size

 Mom and Dad had a date night

 We couldn't take our camera when swimming with dolphins
