Hi ladies! We slept until 8am. Then I cooked breakfast. We ate breakfast and played for a bit and was back down for a nap at 10:20. LO slept until 12:30. Then we ran a few errands and now DH is outside doing yard work. LO is having a fit because Dadda is outside without him. I'm packing like a crazy person. Can I just say I am not a fan of packing. Gonna try to go to a local museum or zoo tomorrow.

[ourcrazynavylife]

I just watched Hot Pursuit and laughed sooo hard. I love Reese Witherspoon.

Totally needed that after the grumpy funk I've been in.

Oh and cutie pie at the park this evening




She likes driving things. (I think I've got a future stunt woman on my hands) haha

[BabyStandish]

Good morning! LO is still asleep so I'm enjoying some coffee. I'm planning on a short run before church. I think we are going to run some errands this afternoon and then go to a fireworks celebration tonight. Some pics from yesterday

Dudes!!! Shutterfly is running a free unlimited prints (4x4 or 4x6 only) sale... I just ordered 200+ and only had to pay $20 shipping. Awesome

[ashlantic]

Had a great day out on the lake yesterday. Lo was in his element playing in the water. We gave him a scoop and a bucket and he was happy as a clam playing in the water and sand. We took him on a boat ride and he wasn't too thrilled about that, but liked when my friend's son pulled him around in a tube.
Today we're just hanging out at home. We desperately need to clean and dh and I are both kind of tired.

[ashlantic]

ourcrazynavylife and megpie5 I totally do that too! I love that little stinker so much.
bkmama0 thanks for the heads up! I've been meaning to print some pictures and have done nothing. I need to get on that.

Baby booty!LO keeps calling all of his cousins "babies" - even though he's the youngest (4, 3 year old twins, and 21 months). Pretty cute!

Not enough caffeine in the world to get me through this day. White knuckling it to nap time....

Did LO keep you up last night?

[littlelion]

Waiting for Leo to wake up so I can go buy some steak for my lunch sandwich. So hungry.

Can't believe it's almost 1 in the afternoon. I'm still in pjs. I feel like doing something but at the same time not.

No, she did fine. My H was snoring up a storm and I could NOT get him to shut up. And I had some weird chest pain/nausea ish. I'm just all messed up with this ovary thing. Can't wait for surgery!

[bkmama0]

Made it to the beach! It was nice until LO got tired and had an enormous meltdown in the middle of a restaurant. Grr... But she took a long nap when we got home.

[littlelion]

bkmama0 that looks lovely!

[littlelion]

Nothing exciting here. Took a walk around the neighborhood in the afternoon and let leo play with bubbles. I considered going to see fireworks but a. Leo's already asleep & b. He kept jumping at the loud fireworks last night.

He makes the funniest faces these days

[bkmama0]

DH and me had our first pregnant hormones fight- forgot how strong they hit. Crazy fight over whether to cook with expensive bottled water... Lol. Fwiw I think it's ok if you use like 1-2 cups, DH thinks it's only for drinking. "They didn't import that water from Italy so you could COOK with it!!!" Lol, funny now that I'm telling the story but I was in tears bc how dare you yell at me for using WATER etc... I think we're both stressed out about new bb on the way, so that little issue lit a powder keg. Calmer now but damn. Pregnant hormones are a doozy.

[littlelion]

bkmama0 when I lived in another state I couldn't drink the tap water or cook with it. I always had gallons of water in the fridge. And +1 for crazy hormones. No fight but I broke down and cried when dh said he had to work tomorrow too. Just sad that my four day weekend has no hubby or family time.

[ourcrazynavylife]

I am about to down some wine. I just chopped 5 pounds of chicken and patted 5 pounds of burgers.

I'd call that well deserved.

[raven]

bkmama0 littlelion This water issue reminds me of when DH traveled internationally for work. Sometimes, bottled water was all you had. When he was in Moldova, he brushed his teeth with bottled water. In Mongolia, he was told the fermented yaks milk (traditional drink for nomads) was more safe than the water.

[ashlantic]

Good morning!
Lo was an absolute beast this morning. Wanted nothing to do with me and only wanted dada. He's napping now, here's hoping he wakes up happier.
I already went for a run this morning and dh is putting the dry rub on the chicken we're going to bbq later. My mom got lo an awesome new pool so we'll probably inflate that and spend the day in the yard. Happy 4th to all our US mamas and babies!

[reginaphalange3]

Morning ladies...we've been super busy, I typed out responses to everyone on wed but it never posted, womp womp. Still catching up on posts but between fireworks, a fair, soccer game, dinner at a friends and a bbq LO has been out late and running around outside the last few days. Thankfully today we are laying low at our place and just relaxing. Hope all the American moms have a happy 4th and the Canadian moms have a happy Monday!

[ourcrazynavylife]

Good morning !!! The countdown and crunch to our bbq has commenced!!

Let's see if I can get all the stuff done. Haha

[babyw15]

Hello ladies!!! LO let us sleep in until 9:20 this morning. We ate breakfast and he played with dada for a bit now they (dada and lo) are napping. I'm trying to stay motivated with packing but sitting on the couch watching an adult movie and maybe napping myself sound real good. I already made our macaroni salad and DH is going to put some baby back ribs on the grill later. Mil might join us. We spent way to much money yesterday at Bass Pro and Rural King but I got new lamps for the new house and I got 2 new shirts. We talked about taking LO to see the local fireworks but hubby likes to do his own here at the house. We will see what wins! Hope everyone has a great 4th of July!!

[sgio7485]

ourcrazynavylife all the time! Her headband is TOO MUCH!!! Love it.
littlelion the zoo looked like so much fun!
ashlantic LO must have loved the lake! My dude hates the life vest so much!
babyw15 packing is the worst.
megpie5 sounds like a fun day!
BabyStandish so cute!
laceysbryan love his outfit!
kcrus mine has been fighting naps hardcore lately! Ugh.
bkmama0 hope Ch feels better soon!

Happy 4th everyone! I'm 31 today- ugh! We are spending the day lakeside. LO is a beast so DH took him for a car ride to nap (will NOT nap at the lake house) so I can drink a beer and relax!


Here's my ice cream monster! Had his own kiddie cup for the first time this weekend!

[raven]

Happy Birthday 'Murica!

We went to the Stampede yesterday. We just happen to live where the largest 4th of July celebration in America is held. Won a goldfish and a stuffed dog for LO. Going to my parents later for a bbq. Probably missing the fireworks and going to bed early lol.

[sgio7485]

raven we totally skipped last nights fireworks and went to bed early over here! Absolutely worth it!

[sgio7485]

Can't resist AWing a few more from today!

[bkmama0]

raven littlelion we have no water quality concerns, DH is just a big ol snob when it comes to drinking water
ourcrazynavylife GL for the BBQ! Hope everything is flawless. And delicious. Personally I would kill for a burger right now.
ashlantic have fun bbqing and playing outside. Hope your baby wakes up happy. Ch has been a crank lately and it's exhausting.
reginaphalange3 hope you have a restful day!
babyw15 I vote adult movie and couch napping!
sgio7485 happy birthday!! You and my dad have the same bday- Cancers! Lol. Hope your little guy took a nice nap and you got some refreshing alone time.

I keep seeing people post awesome looking vacation pics on FB and I'm kinda jealous. Looking forward to years to come, when the kids (!) are older and we can take rad 4-day vacays and all that good stuff. For now though, I am a hungry and grumpy preggo, and Ch is a very energetic and also hungry yet picky toddler getting into everything. I keep thinking about sad stuff, prob bc the hormones are raging. No MS so at least I should be grateful for that. Anywayyy....
Hopefully going out for burgers when LO wakes up and going down by a bike path next to the water nearby where we can catch a glimpse of NYC fireworks show tonight.
Happy 4th to all the US mamas & your families.
