Enjoying the Little Things

You know what, I didn't take one outfit post this week...I had some really cute outfits on too, but by the time I remembered I needed one, it would either be dark outside or I was already in PJ's, oops.

Looking through all of my pictures I decided to stop and enjoy the little things in life. Me after my hard workout in a cycle class, my legs are like jelly here...such a great workout! And the kids were at home with Mr. and I got to go to the gym by myself, glorious!

If you're friends with me on Instagram, sorry you already saw this. Baby Fox leaned down to pick something up off the ground I said, Baby Fox, why do you have to pick up everything off of the ground, when he turns around and gives me this..."but Mommy, it's a pretty flower for you"

A little later, picking more flowers for me. He was very particular what he chose, there were some that were small and slightly dying that he passed right over and went to the nice ones.

 

He then said, "oh no, we left the other one back there, we have to go back" I told him that I had it and showed him, he said, add this to it.

Since getting my iPhone, I've been sharing photos with my parents back and forth, I send them pictures like this:

and they send back pictures like this:

Love them!

I can't tell you how much I love this girl, her pigtails and tutu and kissing herself in the mirror, perfection. She stayed here for at least 5 minutes, it was hilarious.

What are the small things that you've been loving lately?

What a great weekend! First in case you missed it, click here for the giveaway I'm participating in, you have two weeks! You can win a pair of cute moccasins and $145! You know you want to enter.

I actually got a 4 day weekend, it was glorious! Friday Mr. decided to take the day off as well, but had a lunch meeting to go to, so it was just me and the kids. We decided to lay low in the morning and let Mini Fox get a good morning nap in.

Look who can stand

 

And then sit down

Proud face

While she napped we worked on a little project.

 After she woke up we headed over to Ampa and Nana's for lunch and hanging out. They're opening THE SHIRT, Baby Fox was so excited. He wore last years shirt so many times that when he started to outgrow it I went on ebay and found another one in a bigger size.

Daddy was a big sucker and bought Baby Fox a cookie

Saturday

Mini Fox slept for 12.5 hours straight without waking up! It was glorious, although I kept waking up wonder when she was going to wake up. Finally about 6:45 I decided I was just going to pump and go to the gym. Can I tell you how glorious it was to get my workout in and take a shower and get ready at the gym all before the kids get up? It was awesome, it might have to be my new Saturday morning ritual.

Making breakfast together

Pancakes, in the shape of Mickey of course for Baby Fox!

Oatmeal for Mini Fox, I think she likes it...

Before putting Mini Fox down for a nap, Baby Fox decided that he needed to get a pacifier out of Mini Fox's crib...

Caught! 

Lots of playing happened

I decided that Mini Fox's hair was long enough for pigtails...cutest thing ever?

Then Mr. decided to put a tutu on her, her cuteness just got upped a level.

 

Then we changed her into her pj's, Mr. put her in ballerina PJ's and then put the tutu back on to complete her pj's

Sunday we had my bestie and her family and another good friend and daughter over for swimming, I think the older kids swam for 3 hours straight.

These two are about 4 months apart.

Perhaps future prom dates? I won't marry them off quite yet, hehe.

 

What did the fox say?

Rib dinner, yum!

Monday

Our city has a 1/2 marathon, so we went down to enjoy the festivities

They had every kids dream there, we couldn't get Baby Fox away from it

Then my parents came over for some swimming and dinner

It was such a great weekend, wish every weekend was a 4 day weekend, I could get used to that! How was your long weekend?

This is me Sarah aka Foxy:

This picture was actually taken last night, when I was telling a friend, look who got a smart phone! Yep I just recently got my first smart phone and it's changed my life...okay not really, but it's really awesome

See all those whispy/new hairs up there? Yea that's thanks to this little lady Mini Fox:

Her birth was 2 hours from start to finish and I barely made it to the hospital

I like to take selfies with my first born Baby Fox:

These were all taken in just the month of May...and there are so many more I didn't include...yikes I need help

Mr. and I met in a bar and really wanted to get married after dating for 2 weeks, but waited 11 months before making it official, didn't want to think people we were totally crazy. Right?

Yep I wore flip flops after the ceremony, but they had sequins on them, makes them fancy flip flops

We then spent the next 5 years going on awesome trips and having great adventures. Here's just some of them, we did what we wanted when we wanted, random trip to Santa Barbara...okay, hop in car, or let's go down to San Diego for the weekend...let's pick up snow boarding and go to Utah...no problem! That was the life!!

But then we got this....twice:

And now we have these little foxes:

And we never do this, but hope to next year:

Don't worry, this was our first time and we didn't know people wore helmets, now we're all about helmets

But are loving raising these foxes:

If you want to know more, here's some other random facts about me here, here, and here.
