In a Nut Shell

Bullet Point the First. I only have 5 days left that I have to wear my boot. To say I'm excited is probably a huge understatement. Mainly because it's hot, and throws my back and hips WAY out of alignment, is annoying to walk in, makings sleeping a choir, etc etc. It will be nice to have it off, though I am nervous to start walking on my foot and building back up that mobility. But I tell myself that it will be so nice to have the stupid boot off I don't even care. In a nutshell: Boot = Annoying.

Trying to keep SOME muscle in my leg.

No more stiches.

How a lot of my workouts look at Crossfit lately. Shoulders for days.

Bullet Point the Second. Haevin is 6 months old. Her stats for this check up came in at 14 pounds 13 oz (25%) and her height was at 26.5 inches long (75%). She is slowly catching up in weight - though I feel like she has gained a lot in the last little bit... apparently she is still pretty dang small. She is loving to talk and eat, loves her jumper, loves to pivot around, is getting better at sitting, still hasn't rolled fully from her back to her tummy but can roll just find from tummy to back, and loves to play/watch her big sister. In a nutshell Haevin = Adorable Smiley 6 Month Old.

Finally taking naps unswaddled. Woot. 

See! She is getting some rolls. Kinda... if you squint?

So much smiles.

:D

Bullet Point the Third. Rosealynn turns three in 19 days. THREE. I always forget how much she has grown and developed and changed in the past years until my TimeHop reminds me that two years ago today she added a fourth word of "hi" to her vocabulary (which only consisted of Mommy, Daddy, and Doggy). Crazy how much children/babies grow and learn and how quickly. Rose is such a spit fire. She is her own person and has some great attitude, but she is also the biggest sweet heart I know. 2 has been a fun (and exhausting) age and I can't wait to see how 3 goes. In a nutshell: Rosealynn + 19 days = 3 year old = weird.

How Rose wakes me up in the morning some days. 

Wanting to put on mommy's boot.

Getting so big and so good on her bike!

Watching the Crossfit Games while eating lunch together.

These two!

"Red is my favorite color!"

Bullet Point the Fourth. My sister in law Chantelle get's married next week. Being the youngest I never went through the whole "Siblings growing up" thing... it's weird. Seeing Braedon's sisters grow into these beautiful and independent women is mind blowing some times. I'm excited for Chanty and her new adventure and hope everything goes great for her big day. I also may have put together the most wonderful (and slightly inappropriate) gift for her today (just like my awesome sister in law Tiff did for me when I got married). In a nutshell: Being a sister in law = fun.

Bullet Point the Fifth. Speaking of the above gift... Most items I got off Amazon. And I didn't realize I was still signed into a clients account until I went to check out. Oops. That clients "recent search" history is going to be interesting for them next time they log in (don't worry I Emailed them to inform them of the error - not awkward at all). In a nutshell: Always checking what account you are logged into before looking up "sexy-time" items = A great idea. 

Bullet Point the Sixth. Braedon had a birthday (shout hooray!) He has now officially joined the 27 year old club. I love this man so much and am so glad that he was born. I don't know where I would be without him and his support and love in my life. I know to him a birthday is "just another day" but it's a pretty important day to me. In a nutshell: Life with Braedon > Life without Braedon.

Always reads the girls stories before bed.

Playing with Rose in the pool

These three. :)

I know it's blurry... but Haevins face basically says it all. 

Bullet Point the Seventh. For some reason the past couple of days I have been really looking forward to Fall. I love Fall. So much. I think we've established that here on this blog numerous times. That being said... I think I'm gonna make this summer seem even longer if I'm already longing for Fall. Sigh. Bring on camping, cooler temps, sweaters/jackets, Halloween, hot chocolate and more! In a nutshell: Summer < Fall.

Bullet Point the Eighth. We've been working on our backyard the past few weeks. Yes we have a tiny backyard, but we still like to make improvements on it. The builder of our neighborhood had put in these tiny little decks and a bunch of rocks on one part of the cement pad. We hate both. So Braedon has been doing a great job of removing all gross rocks and putting in lovely pavers. It looks so much better already and we are only about half way done. Can't wait for the finished product. In a nutshell: Pavers > Rocks. 

Bullet Point the Ninth. I thought I had more to talk about... turns out that while our life is amazing and lovely... it's also a little non-eventful right now. And that's okay with me. In a nutshell: Nothing to talk about = End blog.
