.lazy blogger.

So it's been a wild few months! Obviously, I haven't written in forever....but It's not because I'm lazy, tho some people would say that I am. It's because I have been crazy busy. The last blog was one of the saddest days of my life. But since that day alot has happened. What have you missed, you say?? Well, for starters, we got a puppy named Maysie.... Isn't she cute??!! However, that was 3 months ago....and now she looks like this!

She's a monster too. I swear she wants to drive me crazy but I'm hoping it's just a puppy thing...she just loves to play wayyyyyy too much. :)

Next: we moved into our new home! it is beautiful and has way more room than we have ever had. Elle, Ollie and I fit in quite nicely with the humble abode, can't ya tell?
Here's Elle making cupcakes

Here's Elle brushing her teeth in her new bathroom

Here's daddy and Elle playing in our bedroom, sportin the Cubbies gear

Here's Elle playing Hide n Seek with me

Here's Elle playing at the new park....she was terrified!Is it bad that I find this VERY funny??


Next: We had a great 4th of July....Let me explain how it went down. We went to my Aunt's to swim and then after the fun there we left and drove back to Surprise to watch the fireworks. We made it just in time to park and see the fireworks shoot off right in front of us. Elle was a little freaked out but she calmed down. We realized like 13 minutes into the show that we couldn't hear the music from the stadium which made it kind of boring....so what did me and Ollie come up with?? We turned the car on and put our Disneyland soundtrack CD in the CD player. We blasted the last 3 minutes of the FANTASMIC show as the fireworks finale came. It went perfectly and it was the best 4th ever! Only our family could figure out how to mix Disney into everything we do.
Here's a random picture of Elle....There are wayyy too many cute pictures to not put them on here!


I digress.....NEXT: Elle and I, along with my sister in law Missy and her little boy Alex went to the circus. Elle was a little worried at first but as soon as she saw the "eleman" (that's Elle language for Elephant) she calmed right down.

NEXT: I started a new job! yay! I work at Massage Envy with my hubby. He's a therapist there and I am his Sales Associate. Doesn't sound very fancy I know but it makes good money. :) And, not to mention I'm pretty stinkin good at it. Here I am celebrating the launching of our Susan G. Komen day. We had a pink party to kick off the pre-bookings. It was so much fun.
Here's another random cute pic of Elle...How can I not show these??


NEXT: Leo turned 2! I know, it's craziness...he's turning 2 and my sis is about to pop out another one....sheesh...It was so much fun having his Remi party. I mean just check out how much he loved his cake for cryin out loud!

And Lastly but, most importantly....Elle started PRESCHOOL! I know, I know! She just cannot be that big...but she is. I needed to help out financially and Elle really needed to get out and make friends so this was the solution that fit. She absolutely loves going and I am so happy that she is happy. Everyday she sees me she just lights up and I'm so greatful that we have been given the opportunity to do this for her at no expense.
Here she is on her first day of school!
We are so proud of her and everything she is accomplishing at such a young age.

So all in all, we have had a pretty amazing, yet hectic summer and we cannot wait until it cools down. We will be welcoming 2 precious baby girls into the family in October and we are all so blessed. Amy's little girl will be named Sophia Grace and Missy's baby girl is going to be named Katy Elizabeth. We cannot wait for them to be here. So as tired as we are now, it will get more exhausting I'm sure as October rolls around. They are due 1 day apart! yikes! :)

In the midst of the craziness that has been our lives, we had 2 relaxing and fun events. First, Ollie and I went to the midnite showing of Harry Potter...YES, we are Harry Potter fanatics! Ollie is on book 4 now after seeing the latest film. He is loving every minute of them and I am so proud of him for reading a book! haha. The movie was great and we just cannot get enough of them!
Here we are waiting for our awesome movie to start


The other fun event was having some of our co-workers over. We played games and just had a good ole time. Eventually Jess wound up on the floor...it was inevitable. It was so much fun and we cannot wait to do it again!



Randomness at its finest!


So that's our summer in a really long blog. Sorry but I had ALOT to cover.

NEXT UP: Amy's baby shower and Alicia's visit....stay tuned! hee hee.
