Celebrated this special guy this week! Job well done, my love!! ♥

"Everything has a time. If its not yours anymore, quit. You can quit anything on a Thursday." Never let the things that matter most be at the mercy of things that matter least. & today nothing mattered more than this. 

We made it! Feels good to have spring goals complete! Summer is officially here!! Happy Summer & Happy Friday!!

Weekend Instagram & a Happy Father's Day! ♥

Lex had her first ice cream! I think she liked it...

Love does. Give it away like your made of it! ♥

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly love this man anymore God blessed us with two beautiful babies and watching his love for them just makes me fall more in love each day. So blessed to have the bestest daddy for our sweet baby girls. Happily wrapped around their fingers since the day they were born. Always loving, always guiding, always protecting. ❤ Happy Father's Day babe! 

These little ladies have the very best papas too! Happy Fathers Day to my very own Daddy! ❤ And to their other papa watching over us in heaven, love you, miss you & think of you each day!

Weekend Instagram.

A good start to the weekend--classes DONE and grades are in!! I can't complain this semester went smoothly and I had some classes I was really passionate about! One being that I finally took my first photography class! I thought that would lead to a crazy amount of photos on here but it actually did quite the opposite! It kept me busy but I was busy taking photos for that so I didn't have much of a desire to take them for much else, lol. Hopefully now I'll get some more photos going again :) 

Now that classes are over (for now!) I'm excited to be curling up with some new books! Love both of these!

Ava's little jazz costume came in this week!

This "Macaron" Voluspa candle is amazing!!! 

I just had to share this photo of Ava because she looks so grown up :(

& Some summer shopping for the little ladies!! ♥

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Ours was pretty simple and relaxing, just how we like them!

Mother's Day 2013! When the going gets good, don't forget to get humble.

♥

I hope all the mommies out there had a wonderful Mother's Day!

I really wanted to go to the domestic violence shelter on Mother's day and  show them that we were thinking of them! There are so many important mommies there! It was really neat putting the little care packages together with the girls and my hubby! I won't go too into details on it today but those women will never know how much allowing me to walk into their lives touched my heart and I can't imagine spending the day in any better way! Truly a blessing! I really don't know what else to even say I'm still just on emotion overload and so touched by the entire experience!!!

It was an amazing weekend filled with celebrating lots of very deserving, amazing people! I'm starting the week feeling totally blessed and refreshed and ready to make things happen!

"Grace is not given because we have done good works, but in order that we may be able to do them."

Weekend Instagram! & more

My Homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza!! Mmm! 

Don't judge us! :D It was for a fundraiser! :)

How sweet are they?! Love them! ♥

An amazing friend of mine is officially cancer free! She is such a huge inspiration to me and I couldn't be more thrilled with this news, definitely called for a celebration!!! We picked up some adorable macarons on the way!



Ava made a new little friend and had tons of fun dressing up, lol. Lex on the other hand was too busy trying to run up the stairs, haha! We don't have stairs so she was just so in "awe" of them!



Such a great day and we were so excited to be part of Amy's big day! Nothing better to celebrate that LIFE! Amy is such a fighter and I'm so happy for her!!!!

Miracles happen my friends!

San Diego Trip!

Hubby got some days off work so we decided to head down to San Diego for a long weekend! It's always nice to just pack up and get out of town for a bit and it was just what we needed! Relaxing and refreshing!!!

We were down there for Cinco De Mayo so we decided to head to Lucha Libre, it was delicious! We saw it on an episode on Food Network and were so excited to try it out! Look how cute the inside was! Pink! 

the "Surfin' California Burrito" 

then we finally got Hubby to Stone Brewery! This is his favorite local beer and he has always wanted to go down to see the actual Brewery, it was really neat!

onto Sea World!

there is nothing I love more than taking them to fun places and watching their little eyes light up!

Shamu!

My fav...the belugas! ♥

and of course, dolphin souvenirs! ♥

And, the beautiful sunset before heading home. 

A great start to the vacays of Summer!!
