Sunday Weekly Highlights

So I've decided to start a recap post that I can (hopefully) do every Sunday/once a week. With a toddler there are a lot of things we do in the week, but would add up to a million posts all the time so this way I can keep things brief and to the point. Focus on the little things that happened in between being so busy!

Miles eats NONSTOP which is a good thing as opposed to being a picky eater, but I seriously can't do anything unless he has some food nearby. Luckily he has reached a point that I can give him snacks in a dish and he won't dump it. He takes his little snacks and finds a spot to camp out with some toys until he eats them all. Then he comes and finds me with the dish and we go refill....indefinitely.
One evening Zach came home bearing gifts! The laffy taffy jelly beans are my FAVORITE candy, but they are only out for Easter. BUT after Easter is over they go on significant sale....which is why Zach didn't waste any time getting me TEN (YES TEN) bags of them :)
Miles eats with his feet on the table now. Which means after meals I am wiping his hands, face AND feet.
I did some crafting and made a tissue box! It is a nice little touch to my bedside.
This is the biggest thing I've done all week and I am VERY excited about it!! I got together my business cards and instead of ordering them...I made them! How fitting for a crafting business :) Love them.
Miles was obsessed with putting these bunny ears on and then petting the sides of them. Maybe he's imagining what it will be like once he gets more hair on his head. 
Miles is in the mimicking phase so lately when I vacuum he has been getting his corn popper push toy to pretend vacuum with me. I told my mom and after swimming on Saturday we went to Toys R Us and she insisted on getting him his own "vacuum". I tried to protest, but grandma's always win out so....
he vroomed it all the way to the car (and had to hold it in his carseat).

Happy weekend!

Pool day with friends!

It has been so hot this week and we are loving it! Miles and I have spent most of our time outside this week just going wherethe wind takes us. Which for us is to our fountain and any dogs passing by. And anytime a plane comes into sight we have to huddle together and watch it go across the sky while repeating "wow" over and over in different voice pitches. Little kids are such a crack up!

Well today I decided to have these hot gems over to hang out and go swimming.
It was such a blast! Miles showed his emphatic love for water and just jumped right in while we were sitting on the steps. Caught me completely off guard and the funny thing is when I pulled him back up (which trust me it was immediately) he wasnt even phased. Clearly he was thinking it is HOT and this water looks AMAZING. It could also be the fact that we haven't been to swim class the last two weeks in a row. Boy loves the pool.

Rosario has a water proof phone so we brought it in with us and took some pictures because well we were having so much fun!
Even Zach came down for a swim after his grueling work schedule this past week. Poor guy had to be at work at 3a these past few days. And still came home everyday like it was a normal day! Gotta love him. (Look at Miles' gangsta face....he's a handful!)

Another Friends First Birthday

Over the past fourteen months Miles and I have made a bunch of new friends. None of my friends that live by me have children so I knew that I would need to branch out to meet people that could relate. And boy howdy how important they are in my life! We do lots of activities together and it really keeps us all sane. Plus our kids are little buddies :)

Last weekend was little Audrey's birthday and it was ladybug themed and ADORABLE. Here is the little ladybug at the sand table with my little dapper dude (which what a smart mama; she put cereal in it instead of sand! I promise you one kid was eating it by the handful!!).
They have a basketball hoop out front and that is where we spent half of our time. Even Miles got to shoot some hoops. I mean OF COURSE he did!
