WoW! It's been a long time!! Photography has been keeping me on my toes these past few months. I can't remember if I shared my info about my new job...... But I was working at Beaumont as as a newborn photographer. The position was not all that I was promised and made more money working for myself, so I quit. Eh, it was "fun" while it lasted. But being your own boss has even better perks! lol
Well, the cruise came and went! ...... We had a great time- Jamaica was fun, .... Grand Caymen was awesome!!! Would love to go back to stay there again sometime. As much as we enjoy sailing, I think if we do another cruise again- the next time around would do a Disney Cruise. I think our next big family vacation, we might want to do an all inclusive resort. We stayed at one in Jamaica on a day pass. It was the safest and most "Kid friendly" thing for us to do. And we loved it! It had 5 pools with a waterfall, waterslides, hot tubs..... not to mention a private beach with water activities included. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a laid back excursion in Ochos Rios. We swam with the sting rays in Grand Caymen. Yikes, some of those things were HUGE! haha... but all and all the scenery was postercard perfect! Prior to our departure on the cruise we stayed a few nights in the south beach area. Kenley loved the ocean! and the sand! When we arrived at the ocean, she put her feet in the sand and started giggling and said " woooooow!!!!!!!!!!" lol!! ..... too cute =)
I seriously can not believe summer is here!! .....Yes, Its true.... last days of my twenties... I feel old lol Today/Tmrw the bestie (Gena Beana) and I are having a yard sale at my house. Did pretty good today- excited to free up some space in the basement and get rid of all the old baby stuff and baby clothes that Kenley has out grown. We are now open to the idea of baby #2, if it happens it happens, but are not wanting to take it serious for at least another year. Things are busy with the business. But I have come along way from my decision to wait a few years! haha. I can't think that I would be as sick as the last pregnancy and let that get in the way. Every pregnancy is different- and believe me the end result was worth every second! Kenley, is our life. I can't even imagine what life was like before we had her! ..... Fireworks are my fav part of summer!! ..... We have a few plans to see some next week!! =) I know Kenley will enjoy them too! good times! .... I have to start getting things together for Kenleys 2nd Bday. At the rate time is flying by it will be here tmrw! lol.... Plus I have a busy 7 weeks ahead of me! I can swear it was just yesterday I planned her first bday. Everyone tells you "they grow up fast" but it isn't until you become a parent that you actually understand, how fast.
Im so so soo proud of her. She can count to 10! Say her ABC's and knows all of her animals and the sounds they make and she is not even 2 yet! I normally hate obnoxious parents going on and on about their kids and if they were some kind of genius. But hey, all and all- what kind of mom would I be if I didn't brag about how proud I am of her.
We are going out of town ( yes, again lol) the first week in July to go to Virigina/Washington DC to visit my brother and sister in law. This will Kenleys 2nd real "road trip". She usually likes the car. But 10 hours is quite a drive! I can't remember the last time we actually spent 10 hours in the car ourselves but, Im sure she will do fine- we are not leaving until the afternoon so she will probably sleep most of the trip which will be easier on her.
Thanks to the lovely issues with our flight going on our last vaca. We were compensated some vouchers for our inconvenience so for hubbs bday gift ( bday is not until aug 23) I used the vouchers towards two flights to Vegas and we only had to pay $100 out of pocket after taxes. So the second week in December- we are going to Vegas baby! woot woot!! ....this will also be the first time we have ever left town without Kenley. But she will be with my parents for 3 days and know she will be in great care. It was be nice to get away and have time alone with the hubbs too.
Phew ok- that was alot to say... more to come =)
Sounds like you guys are having a great summer! I'm glad you guys went to visit Alexandria... its a cute little old town. And I know the heat has been crazy! We just got back from Raleigh and it was high 90s the whole time. We just were swimming everyday.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about baby number 2. I think we are ready now too:) I have always wanted 3 boys and a girl. But I guess I will see when number 2 comes:) So whenever God is ready. I'm not going crazy and calculating the days or temperature or stuff like that. If and when it happens its up to God.
You guys will love Vegas! It's sooo much fun! And I know you will miss Kenley.. but you guys need a little adult break.
hey hot mamma! we are thanks =) Washington DC was great but unbearably hot- we are going to have to go back in fall time when we can enjoy more things like the zoo. Aww sounds like you guys had alot of fun! ..... Haha yep, same here- not "trying" but have stopped preventing, if that makes sense lol. So if it happens great, but not in a huge hurry. I am going to be starting fall classes- so I have 3 years of school ahead of me. But hey, whatever God plans, its fine with us.
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks hun! Looking forward to it!! Still have not decided on a hotel- debating between a few. But havent had much time to think about it, between toddler life, back to back photoshoots, school, and trips lol Awww yes I will miss her like crazy, but will be nice to have some adult time for sure =) Perhaps baby num 2 will be concieved in dec! lmao!
