Jude 3 Months

I know, I know...I have been a terrible blogger lately. We had Luke's family in town for a visit this past week and tons of doctors appointments, errands, cleaning, and child chasing the weeks before. During that time, my newest little angel turned three months old..sniff sniff. Time has flown and all the cute little photo op ideas I had pinned to pinterest while pregnant have never been accomplished. I was able to snap a few of him hanging out before we headed out one afternoon. So, here he is...Mr. Jude himself...

Its Always Fun to Dream



I love online shopping. I get anxious a lot when trying to shop in the real world, especially since we have added baby Jude to the mix. There is nothing worse than cramming yourself into a dressing room with a stroller, crying baby, and impatient four year old who is repeatedly asking for the 10th toy of the day, just to try on jeans that wont fit right anyway. No thanks. Not only do I shop for practical things on the internet but I like to dream shop online also. Its like window shopping on steroids! Can I say 2 carat cushion cut diamond? Or maybe just build a ring...


That huge dream kitchen I am going to have someday has to have a shiny hood in it like the Viking 30" dcwh 30421...



Maybe a cool light or two, like bronze and crystal sconces...


Then there are things that I actually buy online, like the sit and stand stroller that I ordered a while back and { just to let you know} LOVE...


I have my eye on these personalized Easter baskets for the kids...


And a little something for Mr. Jude...



All of this while sipping coffee, in my robe, on the patio. Life is good.

Family Fun

We were so excited to have company with us for a few days this week!! My mother in law, sis in law, and niece and nephew came down to visit. They got in on Monday afternoon and we hit up the pool, ordered some pizza, and caught up that evening. Isabelle wanted Anna to have a slumber party so she stayed with us while the rest of the crew went back to the hotel for the night.


Tuesday, we got up early, made blue pancakes for the girls and packed all our gear and all the kids and headed to the beach...


Beautiful day




Loving life


Jude enjoyed his time as well

Jump!








After we had worked up an appetite, we grabbed some happy meals and headed straight for the condo pool...

lazy bones


After all that sun we were too tired to cook anything so we ordered some Mexican and hung out the rest of the evening. The kids had so much fun playing together...






After all that excitment, Isabelle woke up the next morning still super tired after sleeping in...


To tired to even eat her breakfast





Jude on the other hand had been up and alert since 6:45...


Thumbs up


We decided we would take advantage of the courtyard pool area at the hotel, so I packed up my kidlets and we headed off to swim...




So proud of her new bikini 



After some swimming and lunch, the little ones needed to take a little rest break so we all went our own way for a while before meeting back up to go to dinner to celebrate Luke's birthday early. We went to Carrabas and the food was amazing and the kids were well behaved so we grabbed some sundaes to go and headed back to the condo for a few more hours of fun and photos before they had to head back to the hotel to prepare to leave first thing the next morning...









kisses




Their trip may have been small in time but it was big in fun and we cant wait until we all meet up again!!
