5 Minute Friday x2

Last Friday I was headed to Washington to attend one of my oldest and dearest friends wedding in a teeny tiny little town in Washington. Not only was the time with our other childhood friend and her family awesome, the cool weather and fog was heavenly. I missed my family very much and had a couple hiccups travelling west but it was definitely worth it. I may have gotten a little teary when the southern California coast line was in view :( This Friday I got up when the moon was still high to get my birthday boy Round Rock donuts, per his request. He is still peacefully sleeping in his new big kid bed and I can't wait for him to wake up. Of course I am the sentimental sappy mom today and I don't care about much else today besides seeing him smile. We had some sad news to tell him this week and once again he showed us his incredibly loving heart. I am so grateful to be his mama. I had no idea what to expect holding a baby boy in my arms five years ago and I still don't, but I do know that I have a treasure in that little boy that could never be replaced, that I don't deserve, that surprises me all the time, and that I would go to the ends of the earth for in a heartbeat. We love Rylan James as a big as Texas. Moochies and a shaka dude!

5 Minute Friday

Hallelujah for some rain and much cooler temperatures. It has been under 70 at times in the last day and a half. I am excited to  start volunteering in Rylan's class room every other Monday. Fortunately it is at a time when Kenny can just take a slightly longer lunch and hang out with the girls and work from home while they nap. I didn't get pictures loaded yet because we've had an extra busy week with doctors appointments and other things that came up. Poor Blake shots are so so so hard on her, by far the worst of the three. Well, that wraps up my five minutes.

5 Minute Friday

It is still smokin hot, ewww! But it is supposed to cool down tomorrow to the 90s, woohoo! We are in school mode and just about have it all figured out now. I can't believe Rylan will be five in three weeks-heartbreaking! It is nice to see a reminder of his baby face when we look at Blake! It seems like all of our friends that are having babies are having boys, ugh, that makes my baby fever spike! Elle is signed up again for a Saturday dance class and I am so thrilled to have a day and time that works with our schedule! Here are a few pictures...
