July is hands down our funnest month in the year! We get to celebrate Khloes and Buddy's birthday on the 11th and Daxtons Birthday on the 17th! And we always have lots of company come during the month!
Khloe turned 3 this year! We had planned a big birthday party for her but right before I put invites out Steve called saying he couldn't make it home from work that day to make the party. Since dads MUST be at the party we decided to have a smaller family party instead! It turned out great. The night before she spent the night at Grandma Hansens house!Her birthday morning I picked her up with Doc McStuffins balloons and a Doc McStuffins play tent. I also put together and outfit that looked like DocMcStuffins. She got to be her for the day! For lunch we went to Cool Beans and let her play while my mom and I ate. For dinner everyone came to our house and we had a small BBQ and opened presents!
Daxton turned 1. My baby is 1...how the heck did this happen? I still feel like I just had him. I remember the day I had him so vividly... From Steve leaving to get a sandwich 30 minutes before i was taken back to after he was born snuggling in recovery... I miss the new born stage!
he is in 2T clothing, close to walking and eats EVERYTHING! He will out eat me on a daily biases!
His favorite food is meatballs with green beans.
Steve recently switched to Sundays Mondays off. On Sunday afternoon after church we put a blanket out in the backyard and eat otterpops and play in the sand box! Its such a fun tradition. We really enjoy Steve being able to be home on Sundays!
This year for birthdays I didn't want to have a bunch of "little" toys that just get thrown out. So when people asked what to get Khloe and Daxton I said we would like to have people chip in towards a bigger tramp for outside. The kids love it!
For the Forth of July my best friend and her family came down for a parade and just to chat. We really miss having Walter and Alice around the corner to play with!
In our new neighborhood there is a fantastic park that we walk to 3-4 times a week. Daxton has recently started to play and do the slides. Its really fun to watch!
I am 5 pounds away from my weight when I got married! And only 10 pounds away from high school! Why is it that we always compare our self to our high school self? Anyways, I'm pretty excited to be so close. Also I ran DOUBLE DIGITS! The kids and I ran 10 Miles on an overcast day. I really wanted to hit 13.1 miles so I could cross off my half marathon for the summer and start lifting and getting stronger BUT the kids had an entirely different plan! at mile 9.5 they were SCREAMING very loud...I have one more month to get it!
