Family Time

Family time is seriously the name of my biggest album on Aperture.
With the two boys most of the things we do is considered to be a family event.

Its though at times, being pulled from one city to another, getting everyone ready and out of the house, but I always seem to find the upmost joy and peace when we are all together.
Dont get me wrong. Having mommy alone time is great, but being a mom, since I was 16 has changed the needs of that alone time. I was never the crazy underage partier and dont think ill be the way too old to be dancing like that partier, I've met it in the middle, with most of it left behind.
Especially given the 5 month pregnant circumstances..
Regardless though, being able to see our family together, watch everyone grow up, special achievements, and so on makes me really happy. So happy that i find myself getting chocked up even at baseball games, or spelling bees.
Im so grateful for all the love in our lives. And im beyond happy to be adding to our joy.
I cant wait to hold my baby girl!

Here is an assortment of pictures ranging from Feb of this year.
Enjoy! We did

Rainy days and Cabin Fever

Its been to quiet a big surprise the rain here in California. The showers have not ceased since Friday. Most people would say that they hate this weather but my family and I actually love it.
Last Saturday we went out to buy our christmas tree, while it poured cats and dogs. Sure we had wet shoes and jackets. But for the smell and warmth it was well worth it. Now nearing 5 days and with kids and man at home im starting to feel the small familiar claustrophobic itch.
For one, its tooooo wet to step outside. We love going on cloudy disneyland trips, but this is something else. Going to the grocery store has me shivering but staying in has me fearing for my sanity. HA!
My poor bf daughter, which is used to being the only child, now has to deal with having not one but two energetic boys around her. Something that I must say she has done very well with, but of course she has her moments. As do I. I've never had to deal with another woman in my house. Ever. So seeing some of my normal reactions played out by her, makes me wonder.. Am I nuts? Over the top?.
In both cases I think yes. But my loving man seems to handle her and I ever so calmly.

Even my little beast are dealt with a light hand.
I know its hard for other people to handle my brood, its hard for me. But I have found that those who have seem to never be able to get enough of us.
Hopefully the young tree will come around soon. As her mood changes by the hour, I hope that with age her limits for my papis will too <3
