Hi!

Where the heck have i been??  Apparently slacking on my blogging duties is what i have been doing lately!  These past two months have been super busy i feel!  Yet, i feel also that i cant even say what ive done with my time.  whoops.  It just seems in between the business of a normal day, sometimes updating a blog is the very last thing i want to do.  But alas, i apparently feel up to the task today!  So, here we go!

I really feel that penny's personality has come out lately.  She makes us laugh so hard! (and can be a total sass too...but thats another conversation...)

 Tom got this 4-wheeler for penny for christmas..this is the most she's been on it.  wants nothing to do with it!

 more her style!

 Happy birthday to me!...a month and a half ago.  whoops.  (why does my kid not have a shirt on??)

 The day after my birthday, my parents, tom, penny and i took a LONG road trip down to gulf shores, alabama.  it was such a good time!  it was amazing having an entire week with my husband!  It was a super relaxing, laid back trip...every day we picked shells on the beach, took naps, ate WAY too much fried food, and actually went to bed earlier than what we normally do weeknights at home.

 i'm sorry penny, the wind and humidity were not very friendly to your hair.

 i got you a shell!

 penny wanted to be just like grandma and aunt nancy...dig and dig and dig for shells.

 we had a couple of days where the weather didnt permit us to go to the beach so we took advantage of the condo's pool and hot tub.  penny was not super excited about it the 1st time we went in it...the 2nd time was way better.

 we also went and visited fort morgan on a non-beach friendly day.  it was pretty cool walking through part a historical landmark of our country!

 apparently minnie mouse wanted to tour ft. morgan too.

 so much space to run!

 again with the crazy hair...i'm sorry, penny.

 back at home...meals have been a challenge for us lately.  the only way i can get penny to hold still long enough to eat is to bribe her with toys.  

 Happy Easter!  My little girl is getting so big...she will turn 2 in a few short weeks!

egg hunt at grandma's and papa's.

 a quick family photo...penny was not feelin' it!

Hope things has been well for everyone!  We have just a short 6 weeks until our baby boy will be here...ahhhh!  we have been busy getting his room ready and starting on clearing out a room in the basement to turn into a play area.  You never realize how much "junk" you have until you're welcoming another person into your house.  So much to do, so little time...and energy.

xo.
