Grocery Store Adventures

What did moms with more than one kid do before the shopping cart-car was invented? A ride in the car, a few cookies and a very speedy shopper made this trip sucessfull. Both kids stayed in the car the whole time and no one screamed until the check out line. Not bad.

Concert on the Square





Grandma, Grandpa and Great Grandma came to visit and we hit up the Concert on the Square along with Aunt Debbie. It was a good time...for about an hour until Luca took a face dive into a granite curb and put a tooth through his lip. He was pretty swollen and sad but did great.
My white tank top...too bloody to save.

My baby is three





Three years old. How did that happen? Crazy.

Sometimes I look at her and still think she is so little but then she will do or say something that is just such a big girl. Say something...yes. Last night before bedtime she wanted to watch the credits of Monsters Inc and I of course was ready for bedtime but my big girl said, "mom, please be patient...do you hear my words?" Or today when talking to her little brother she said, "Luca, you have two more minutes and then I get that toy". I believe this actually ended with a thump on the head but the words leading up to the beat up were very impressive.

Ava's birthday was the 11th but we had a busy weekend and no time for a party so we moved it to today. Three year olds haven't learned the calendar yet. Ava woke up to three helium balloons in her room and was absolutely thrilled. Why i spent money on other gifts I don't know because the balloons made her day. She jumped up and down on her bed singing happy birthday to herself. It was adorable.

Ava had a visit this morning from her Mema (my mom) who brought her a wonderful doll and a vaccuum from Papa (my dad). She decided to keep them inside so that her friends would not touch them. Good idea.

This morning we had a bunch of Ava's buddies over to play in the back yard, eat brownies, cheetos and chocolate milk and run around. She had a hard time sharing at first but a little sugar livened her up and we played well past nap time. Sorry to the other parents for not providing the healthiest of snacks :) Luca tried is best to keep up with the big kids but was often pushed aside as younger siblings usually are.

Right now both kids are napping. I love nap time.

Happy Birthday Ava!
I love You!

Loheide Family Photo Shoot








My friend Beth, who may be the only one who reads this blog asked me to take a few pictures of her family. Since I still barely know how to use my camera I was a little nervous but it was fun to play around and I think we got a few nice shots.

Jade and Rob's Wedding - 4th of July

Mommas with the bride
Is taking off your clothes at a wedding a bad thing?





Jadee Lady got married! It was a beautiful and very funny ceremony.
The reception was perfect, very kid friendly for those of us who brought the little ones along.
We made it out till 10pm, after a lot of dancing and running around, playing with balloons, eating tons of food and enjoying good friends. I love weddings!
