Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yes...


This will be perfect for Audrey's 2030 High School Yearbook's Baby Announcements.




SAVED!

#pinning!!!

Taking this opportunity to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU to my savvy Mom who closely follows my boards on Pinterest! 

It was beYOND amazing to receive not one, but TWO packages in the mail this week- each with gifts just for me;  recently pinned on my "Hey John, Buy Me This..." board. 

SWEET!!! 

New sunnies!!!

 L-O-V-E them!!! 

AND a diaper/laptop/everyday bag!!!

Woot! Woot!

PS- John says thank you too. Now he doesn't have to "worry".

THANK YOU, MOM!!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

We actually celebrated Mother's Day on Friday night. It was very thoughtful of John to think ahead, knowing that this weekend would be tough... So many pros and cons to being on-call and at home. He showed up from work that night with dinner, flowers, and a very sweet card. I'm so loved and lucky.

 

But, actually he deserves even more credit for thinking ahead at least a couple of weeks to somehow steal Audrey away from me long enough (on one of his days off, no less) to create this Mother's Day Masterpiece-

Beautiful!!!!!

Since John had to stay home and work today (a lot), I had really good intensions to enjoy a mother-daughter girly day, shopping, playing, and laughing around Fashion Island... We'd each come home with a new outfit, splurge on some See's Candy and blast {Disney} music on the way home. 

And, we had a strong start, but after about 20 minutes in Anthropologie- we were both done. Maybe 10 years from now, but in the meantime, this is way more our pace...

Happy Mother's Day to all of the special moms out there, but especially my Mom, Kellie, and mother-in-law, Judy.

Out with the old.

My beloved Tahoe. It was time to say goodbye.

And in with the new.

Our new Honda Accord!

I'm taking over the {mom-mobile} CR-V for John. 

Happy Mother's Day to me!

PS- Wow! This is my 200th Post!

Did I tell you that Audrey started school?

Oh yes she did! And, it's really perfect. 

Where do I start... There's a vegetable garden that the kids care for, a super fun playground with all types of exercise equipment, an outdoor watercolor wall for painting, a SWEET sandbox, and they provide a healthy breakfast and lunch (thank god). There is also a music teacher that brings a piano and sings to the kids every Tuesday, oh- and art EVERYDAY! 

I. Love. It.

But, you know what... Audrey loves it more. 

Her first day, when I kissed her goodbye, she just looked up and me, waved and said "bye-bye Dada".

Sooooooo cute!!! 

A simultaneous "ahhhhh" from the three teachers in the room. 

"She's so adorable!"

Followed by me, 

"hey teachers, work on that- I'm Ma-Ma."

"Audrey- MaaaaaaMaaaaa."

Today was awesome. The school hosted a surprise Mother's Day party!!!

 I pulled up (in my half a%$ car. PS- new one coming soon), and they had prepared breakfast, and coffee, and flowers for every Mom. 

Oh, AND Audrey had a little present for me....

Yes, she has a cold. The one negative about daycare. But, she's still her happy-self. 

I had such a great day...even though Audrey and I weren't together.  

In My Office.

Take it from me, the "firsts" never get old.

Seriously.

Baby's first smile, laugh, blow out, roll-over, food, step, word, dance, favorite toy, outfit, discovery... Every little detail is perfect, and it's been great watching Audrey learn SOOOO much in such a short amount of time. 

And, it's just the beginning. 

Yesterday had a few VERY BIG firsts, at least in my opinion. 

.

.

Most of you know that if Audrey isn't saying "Dada" she's probably saying "NO!".

It's almost embarrassing. You know the other parents at story time are thinking- geez, that kid's parents must be super duper strict or something... She only says "NO!"...Their energy is so negative.

Or, she's just a toddler people.

My natural response to these judgers, cue valley girl- um, like she's totally just going through a phase. We'll meditate on it. 

ANYway, I got off track. 

Like, I said- Audrey's got "no" DOWN, but "yeah/yes" has been "mine" for months...

That is until yesterday...

Disclaimer: Please pay no attention to her seatbelt, and do not call child protective services. She's more squirmy than normal lately, and well, I didn't notice until I watched it back on video (and John pointed it out). Real parents make mistakes. 

On to Disneyland....

It was your typical DISNEYLAND day, really....

Oh, until we had ANOTHER "first"...

Guess who's not afraid of the characters anymore????

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Another low-key, spring {feels like summer} day in HB. 

Not to mention, a good excuse to celebrate with an icy cold Corona.

Cheers!
