Happy day!

As our summer is winding down we are working on making memories and enjoying the times that we have together before our days get even more hectic!

 

Bailey is a smart girl and loves school. She got this book and has been asking to work on it at dinnertime.

She has started recognizing her numbers and this is really helping, showing her the correct way to write.

 

I have been working hard on losing some weight and getting healthier. and learning how to make good tasting meals that are still healthy has made me more creative in the kitchen.

The other night this was my dinner, all made on one cookie sheet. Brussel sprouts and bell peppers with a little balsamic vinegar. Chicken with some spices. Easy and very flavorful!

 

Walking out to my {dirty} car I noticed some tiny handprints on the bumper.

As often as it can be aggravating getting handprints all over everything, seeing these sweet reminders of my little loves unexpectedly brightens my day!

 

Wyatt had his 15 month check up last week and we are so lucky to have a great Doctor and office staff watching over us.

{Wyatt is a healthy 25 pounds and 2 feet 6 inches tall}

We had to wait a little longer than usual so the friendly nurses gave Bailey some pens to decorate the exam table paper. {She didn't want to watch Wyatt get a shot so a nurse took her to the nurses station and let her pick out as many stickers as she wanted}

 

Chris was sent up to work at the fire in Santa Barbara for five days and unfortunately he was gone during the local airshow, which he and Bailey love to attend. I think it's boring, but Bailey loves it and I decided I would take the kids. I was a little apprehensive about it because a lot of people attend and walking around with them was a little daunting. But we all did great {even if we were missing Daddy!}

We were lucky enough to find Chris' Dad in the crowd and sat with him for a little while. We went home for a bit before heading out to meet my Father-in-law for dinner. It ended up being a really fun day for us all and I'm glad we were able to go together.

 

We have been busy, busy these past few weeks and I have a lot to share...but for now, that's it!
