Summer Bucket List

SUMMER IS HERE!!!!

We are thrilled for summer’s arrival and mostly because a new little one will be joining us in  just a few short weeks!!! 

Every summer and fall I create a bucket list to do with my family so we can keep things creative and fun!! 

Here are some of our summer activities I have planned!

** Side note** I decided to keep a mason jar around the house and add popsicle sticks ( I interchange them throughout the different seasons) so that its fun to let your kiddo draw one at random and feel like “ they picked the event"

*Parman Library ( local San A only)  offers a TON of kid friendly activities in the summer for toddlers-preschool age children. Bonus that it is air conditioned as well!!!

* Host a BBQ. I love having friends over to sip some wine and light up the grill..slice open a huge watermelon and let the kids play in the sprinkler. 

* Zoo Morning!!! It is so hot in the afternoons so a morning at the zoo would be perfect!

*Muffins with mama. Jax and I love to make muffins ( the easy no fuss kind where you pour a packet and mix some oil :)) and then drop them off at a friend’s house. I love this because it gives us one on one time, teaches a skill, and shows generosity by bringing them to someone else. 

* Splash Pad: Call up some friends and hit your local splash pad!! Pack a lunch if its around that time or snacks and stay a while!!

* BEACH! We will most definitely be making a few beach trips this summer

* Make Homemade Popsicles : Blend up some fresh fruit and freeze them!!!

* Pizza by the Pool

* Farmers Market: Brandon and I love to hit up the local farmers market, buy a ton of produce and then try and get creative with a dinner we can make with the items we bought. Get the kids involved too!

* Children’s Museum:  Find one local to your area! I love ours because it offers AC and is a great place for kids to burn off some creative energy!

* Host a playdate: Weather its with bubbles or sidewalk chalk, splash pools and watermelon.. or wine and apple juice:) Just get together with some friends and enjoy each others company!!!

So far that is our list!!!! 

Third Trimester Update!

Happy Friday!!!!!

I cannot believe I am about to say this but...

NEXT MONTH IS BABY MONTH!

WHAT!!!

Where did the time go??? 

I seriously cannot believe that it is almost time for me to hold my sweet second born...I am so grateful!!!

Here is a little bit of an update!

Due date: June 25

Baby is the size of a: I think Canteloupe

Total weight gain/loss: 25 lbs...eeek

Exercise: I work out daily with my amazing Fit4Mom group!!! According to my doctor I am a little more in shape this time than last.. WOO!

Stretch marks: Nope!

Swelling: Not yet.. but summer is quickly approaching and I am almost nine months pregnant...

Maternity clothes: Yes!!! My favorite places to shop for maternity are Pink Blush, Loft Maternity, Pea in the Pod, and Old navy Maternity!

Belly button: flat like a pancake LOL

Sleep: Sleep is seriously amazing... I am not sure I ever slept this good when I was pregnant with Jax. I am guessing I am so exhausted after chasing after a toddler all day and being super pregnant that I literally go comatose as soon as my  head hits my pillow.

Food cravings: I have had zero cravings this time around. The only thing I crave are sweets here and there

Movement: I LOVE feeling him!

Labor signs: no.. stay put until June bud!

What I miss: UM WINE.

What I’m loving: Im loving that any time I’m changing clothes or in a swim suit Jax races up to me to put his hands on my belly and gives it a kiss. It is truly the sweetest thing ever.

Best moment this week: It has become a part of our routine but my most favorite part of OUR* day is when Jax and I head to the park after nap. Jax with his juice and me with my starbucks.. I love to watch him make friends and run up and down the playground. 

What I’m looking forward to: 

Holding James Lucas!!!! Nursing again, and watching my boys love one another!

Month 8!
