Friday=Funday

Today was a good day. (Just rapped that in my best Ice Cube voice.) My mom has been hanging with us all week. All rainy week. But today, today the sun was shining. It was cold this morning, but we decided to take advantage of the sunshine and head to the zoo. Lila + Lincoln loved the zoo. We saw monkeys + elephants + walrus' O' My. And then we played in the Kids Zone. It was a blast, and so nice to have some help on this adventure. When we came home, we played in the backyard and ate Popsicles. I live for days like this. I'm pooped after days like this.

Tomorrow we are off to Cali for a week with my fam. Lucca-lay-lee needs to see her Tia, and I'm ready for some sunshine + sissy time.

Buddo

My heart skips a beat for this dude. I melt when he shoots his smile my way. Yup, melting right now just thinking about it.

You Can't Win Them All

Adorableness

Ok so the last time I played Words With Friends, I'm pretty sure adorableness wasn't really a word. BUT if Noah Webster, or any of his modern day dictionary-word-picking-peeps saw my little monsters right before bedtime, I'm convinced, adorableness would be included in next years addition.

Conversations With My Mom

Me: 'Mom, why don't you go down lay down + relax for a while.'

Mom: 'I can't relax, there is too much to do.'

Me: 'Mother! You are on vacation, go relax.'

Mom: 'This doesn't feel like vacation, it feels like a missions trip.'

What A Chick!

Lila is such a chick. Such a girly-girl. Such a sweetheart. She is a tender-hearted little beauty. Our little lady loves wearing hats + sunglasses, talking on her phone, dancing, eating, snuggling, watching mama cook and screaming. She is every reason we always dreamed of having a daughter. She is our little Pearl.

Love

Dear Lila + Lincoln,

I am smitten with you!

Love,

Mom

Sometimes I think my heart might just burst out of my chest with the love I have for these 2. Just when I think I couldn't possibly love them anymore--it happens, and I do.
