First of all before I start this post I want to preface it by addressing an issue that I have recently been talking about with some friends. Lately, I have been hearing that people are deleting their blogs because they think blogs are just a way for people to talk about how cool they are and to make it look like they have a perfect family. So I looked at my own blog and thought...you know, sometimes I do brag about my little fam but anyone that knows me, knows that my life is FAR from perfect. I mean lets be honest...I bribe Triston with treats so he will brush his teeth - I know it defeats the purpose, Triston and I go to battle at LEAST once a day...sometimes all afternoon, my baby still doesn't sleep through the night, my car is currently in the shop-so annoying, most days I don't even get my make up on until 5 minutes before Quinn gets home, but I do love my life and my family. I do think my kids are UNBELIEVABLE, I do think my husband is the GREATEST man, so I am going to continue to brag about them and keep our family and friends updated on our lives.
Things I am loving right now...
"Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus. Such a silly song but I LOVE it, so does Triston. :) Triston calls it "our song" which I think is so sweet. We listen to it on repeat in the car and we are always, "nodding our heads like yeah...and moving our hips like yeah."!! In fact, when I don't nod or move Triston calls me out and says, "Mom you didn't shake that time." To which I reply, "Sorry bud, I will shake really good next time." I love to watch him dance in the rear view mirror - oh man it is the best thing ever.
Bridget sitting up! I forgot what a great milestone "sitting up" is. I don't have to worry about flat head 24/7 and Triston and Bridge interact so much more now. I absolutely love watching them together. It's especially awesome when I find Triston using Bridget's head to stack blocks on or when he pushes her ever so slightly to see if she can regain her balance. He is such a typical "big brother". I have to say though...he does brag about her to his friends which I think is adorable.
My new home. Its small but its clean and cute. There is a park right outside so I feel like its my backyard. The kids each have their own rooms which is so AWESOME!
Simply Grapefruit juice. It tastes like i am pouring the juice straight from the grapefruit into my mouth - what an excellent experience.
Quinn being in school. I thought it would be so hard because he would be gone and studying all the time - which he is - but he LOVES it so he is always so happy. His job at the bank was great but it left him a little bored and didn't challenge him at all. I can tell that he is really enjoying what he is learning and he is doing so well. It makes me so happy to see him so happy - cheesy but true. :)
My job. I mean I would be going to the gym anyway so why not get paid to go right?! When I first started I was pretty nervous because I am not super outgoing and I was nervous to have to yell and be super bubbly and everything but I LOVE doing that now. I feel like I get to have this other personality that is super outgoing and loud and its so fun!
