Three Men & One Lady.

It's hard to believe Summer is winding down and we're about to welcome Fall.  Not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited about that.  After all, Fall is pretty much the best season (right?!) and dare I say it... I'm looking forward to a few rainy days here or there.  I'm sure someone somewhere is cursing my name for saying such things, but it is true.  So, I think for now I'll stop while I'm ahead and share a few of our Summer vacation photos.

Earlier this month, we vacationed in Southern California on the beach in Carlsbad.  My family first started vacationing there when I was a little girl and I am very happy to have the opportunity to take my guys down to such a wonderful place.  Our major outing was a visit to Legoland California and it did not disappoint.  Let's just say, everything was awesome.

I guess you can say my sister inspired me to get back at it with the blogging, after she wrote a post a few days ago about Banana Cupcakes.  So, I dusted off the laptop, poured myself a glass of water, and started to think of something super entertaining to post that would bring some attention back to this space and hope to at least have one reader in the future.

We'll see how that goes.

But for now, I leave you with this super awesome Instagram selfie Cole and I took of ourselves last night and a few updated photos of the family to the left.

My posts can only go up from here, right?

Stay Tuned...

... And on your floors, windows, chairs.  Oh the life with little boys.  I feel so blessed to have such fun, active little guys.  But lets get real for a second - my house feels like it is NEVER clean anymore.  It seems like we are constantly cleaning/organizing our home, only to turn around and find a mess of toys, books, or some other little boy things dumped throughout our living spaces.  And it is not for a lack of teaching our oldest to pick up the toys he has finished playing with before picking out new ones... it just somehow happens.

But, we're learning together... and I have to say, I get a little smile when I see little cars... or army men... or super heroes laying in piles throughout our home.  Especially when I have just seen our oldest sharing his toys with his brother and using his imagination to teach Cole how to play with them.  It makes a momma smile.

1. It's candid and in the moment - you're always a fan of the "un-posed" photos.
2. It doesn't show your handsome face... although I think after all this time you are getting used to me taking your photo (the hubs has never been a fan of smiling for the camera). 
3. It is one of our first pictures together as a family of four.

{PS - if you think this is a little sappy... just wait until you see my card!!}

Here's hoping our weekend is just as relaxing as our kitty Jack's day so far.  He's doing a pretty great job at keeping our window seat company.  Thanks, buddy.
