Fun Times

Luke and I had a very special Valentines Day this year. Since we have had kids, we usually don't do much for Valentines. This year, Luke arranged childcare (Thanks Kait!) and surprised me with dinner at The Melting Pot. We haven't even been out on a date since who knows when so we really enjoyed ourselves. The Melting Pot is one of my favs and as always, it was delish!!

I have taken a little time off from work this week to hang out with the kids. It has been good for my soul, for sure. Here are some fun pictures...



Don't worry, I didn't let Hunter drive off!




Happy Girl even when she isn't feeling well




She loved swinging!

Rylee's friend Amelia came over for a little play date. Amelia's mom, Megan and I have been best friends for about 15 years and I hope Rylee and Amelia will be best of friends as well!

We were trying so hard to get them both to smile at the same time... they only thought we were crazy!



Rylee wanted to borrow Amelia's cute socks. I don't think Amelia wanted to share :)



Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend we didn't have any plans so we just went with the flow and hung around. Today we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went to Lake Ella.

And I didn't post a 7 month picture of Little Miss yesterday so here it is!

Welcome Weekend!

What a week this has been! I am so happy the weekend is finally here. There is nothing more I look forward to the most than spending the weekend with my family. I travel for work about every six weeks. Thursday and Friday I traveled for the first time without the fam since I have returned from maternity leave. I felt like I was gone for an eternity! I was trying to think positive and try to enjoy some time to myself but all I did was think about the kiddos! However, I am very thankful to have a hubby that will, can, and enjoys taking care of the kids by himself so I don't have to worry about that. He even did two loads of laundry yesterday!

I have been contemplating making my own baby food for Rylee. I want her to have as much organic food as possible and the organic baby food is pretty pricey. I think I'm going to start with some peas this weekend and see how it goes. I'm hoping I can make it on the weekends and freeze it for the week. We'll give it a go and I'll let you know how it works.

Rylee was 7 months on Wednesday. She can sit up by herself for quite a while and when she is tired of holding herself up, she has figured out how to get on her tummy and scoot on along. She still hasn't got her arms and legs coordinated to crawl but she can definitely get herself to where she wants to go. Especially if she eyes the cat on the other end of the room. She's off! The cat doesn't mind Rylee (thankfully) because Rylee likes to grab her fur and pull her tail. Rylee also loves to play. She could play all day long, skip her nap (which is only about 30 minutes anyways) and not even pretend to be tired. This little girl laughs like no other 7 month I know! Actually I take that back. Her friend Emily who is also 7 months old, thinks Hunter is the funniest. A couple of weekends ago we got together at the Scileppi's home and Emily sat in the recliner and belly laughed at Hunter throwing a ball. It never got old to her and it was so cute!

I have really been slacking on pictures but maybe I will have some to share on my next post. Enjoy the weekend!
