Weekend Update and a Missing Vlog

Oh man! I actually took video of our weekend, and had half of it ready to go, and then my program crashed...and I lost it...:( Shame on me for not learning after making my Hiking video...The same thing happened during that video. I really need to learn to save my project before I even start...will start doing that, I will, I really will. Anyway, instead of giving you a video of my weekend, I'll have to give you the few sparse photos I took, since I was taking video's all weekend. Hopefully I'll have the video done for Thursday.

 Guess what Mr. wanted to watch all weekend? He didn't even put his stuff down from work before turning it on..mostly because his team was up next.

Friday we went swimming, it was in the 90's and I actually got in the pool, miracle of all miracles.

Bedtime antics, trying to get those last few moments of energy out before the kids go to bed.

We haven't taken one of these in a while...and by while I mean, 2 hours. I love me a good selfie...or groupie? I've pretty much perfected it with my camera.

Saturday was my usual 6am hike, love this hike and it's not getting any easier...why is that?

I got home, showered, got ready and everyone fed and then we were out the door to go to Baby Fox's show performance at the gym.

Waiting for the show to begin.

 

She got tired of sitting on our laps and played with the Ergo for a while. It's the little things.

This turned out super blurry, but there Baby Fox is, in his blue shorts and shirt, it was supposed to be black, but ya know who makes all back shirts for little boys, no one that's who. They all have dinosaurs or Mickey Mouse, or Darth Vader on it. He did great, and we're so proud of him! They said there would be another small one in August and another big one in November, can't wait to see those too. I just loved watching him (and you will too as soon as I remember to save my stupid file while editing!)

After nap time, Baby Fox wanted to go to my parents house to spend the night, so I dropped him off and Mini Fox and I went shopping. She told me she was cold so I wrapped her up, it was 81° outside...not cold, silly girl.

In case you wanted to know, this is Old Navy, I was returning some stuff, and they had a buy 2 get 1 free in the clearance section. So I got Baby Fox some shirts and I got a dress.

It's still so weird for us, walking past his room and having it empty. But he had a blast...ice cream and brownies and story...what could be better?

I was missing Baby Fox, so I snuck into peak in on Mini Fox...she's so cute when she sleeps. #creeperstatus

Because Vanessa said it was so good and it was draft weekend, we watched Draft Day, holy cow, talk about suspensful. And this is why I don't watch sports...it's too nail biting, make me crazy I don't know the outcome. #IHAVEOCD

Sunday my parents joined us at church and to drop off Baby Fox. See the orange mustache? Baby Fox comes running up to me and says, Mommy guess what?! I had some of Ampa's orange crush (it's really one of those sugar free powdered drinks you put in water)! I sort of laughed and said, you don't say...lol! He had no idea his whole mouth and lips were orange.

Mini Fox got Baby Fox's left over donut, you know the part that had no icing...she loved it anyway.

Mini Fox helping Baby Fox carrying his over night backpack. She thought she was hot stuff walking around, everyone else thought she was the most adorable thing walking around. She was getting a lot of oooooh's, and aaawwwww's.

I tried to get them to stand still for a picture, this is the best I got.

Mini Fox has been spending a lot of time in time out...she just stands there, not crying, not doing anything until you come get her...I don't think it's much of a punishment.

Watching some Frozen after naps.

Baby Fox NEVER does this. But he got himself all comfy as we were cleaning up dinner. Spending the night at my parents tires him out. He goes to bed late and gets up early...

And I don't think I took another pictures, but it was normal Sunday stuff, dinner, clean up, making lunches for Monday. It was a good weekend at home with the family.

How was your weekend?

Style Bloggers - April Showers (Rain Gear) Bring May Flowers (Floral Trends)

The Style Bloggers are back for another link up series, same people, different topics. Today our first topic is April Showers, Bring May Flowers, I didn't come up with it, but super clever right?

We don't get much rain here, so I thought I would find things that I would want, if we did get rain.

 This pink rain coat, I saw it in the store and it's about the cutest thing I ever saw. If it rained here and I had that much money to blow on a rain coat when I would use it...maybe twice a year, I'd be all over this. Trina Turk in Manhattan Beach. I did however buy a super cute workout top, looking forward to having one more thing in rotation, you know so that the three other tops I have get a break.

How cute is this rain coat? I just saw it while browsing through the sale items, trying to see if I could find the workout top I bought. It covers the April showers and May Flowers all in one piece.

And what's rain coats without some rain boots, found here and here.

Now that I found the perfect April Shower and May Flower pieces, why not find some cute stuff to go with it. I thought the pink coat and the flower boots, perfect combination. Add some white jeans a striped shirt, perfect for a Spring outing.

I just love this jacket, it's colorful and just makes you happy. For this outfit I thought I would make it a little more sophisticated and go with some black jeans, white button up and a colorful statement necklace.

And the last outfit, the polka dotted rain boots, who doesn't love a good polka dot. I found the pants and that top and loved both, but thought, it's a little on the dark side, so I added the light pink jacket and some cute earrings to give it that Spring feel. Oh how I wish it rained here...or got cold for that matter. It was 93° here today (Thursday)...and supposed to 90° tomorrow (Friday).  Oh Winter and Spring, where did you go? I'm not ready for full blown Summer yet.

What Up...Thursday

Linking up with  Mel, Sheaffer, and Shay for a What's up Thursday. Okay it's supposed to be Wednesday, but I already had a post ready for Wednesday and I really liked this prompt. So here you go on Thursday.

What we're eating this week:

Mr and I are still on our slow carb diet, well him more than me. Since my allergy appointment they told me not to eat eggs, which is what I was eating for breakfast everyday, so my slow carb had to take a back seat. But pretty much for every dinner, we've been crock potting some meat and then shredding it, and adding some beans, salsa and homemade guacamole and it's pretty much heaven on earth.

What I'm reminiscing about:

I took a picture of Mini/Baby Fox everyday for the first year, I did the same thing for Baby Fox, and I just made the book this month...looking at all of the pictures...made me miss that sweet little newborn baby smell and becoming a family of four. I can't imagine our family without this sweet little girl.

What I'm loving:

My family - Loving that my parents live close so that we can do Sunday night dinners and take pictures like this.

That my Dad can share his love for Track Meets with my kids.

That I can go to the movies with my mom on a Thursday night.

That I got to hang with my sister on Saturday all day. She's the best person to hang out with.

Love being silly with her

And love that we both thought this was hilarious and took a picture of it.

Cause 9pm is just too early

What we've been up to:

Lot's of parties and swim lessons. Summer is coming...

What I'm dreading:

That the summer heat is already here, it was 93° on Tuesday...Wednesday is going to be 91° at least it cools off by the weekend.

What I'm working on:

The Spring Style Me Challenge

Tune in next week for the last 5 days

What I'm excited about:

This weekend, Baby Fox has his gym show case. We haven't been able to go to the gym, but hopefully I can still sign him up and get him into the performance.

What I'm watching/reading:

Okay not much reading has been going on. The last book I read was a couple of weeks ago, and I read it because it's a movie and I love reading the books before I watch the movie. It was a really cute book, predictable, but cute.

Watching these, still a little traumatized by last weeks episode.

Yea it's an old photo, but I just love the whole cast

 Best show! You have to start watching it if you don't already.

What I'm listening to:

Currently Baby Fox really likes this song.

What I'm wearing:

See two questions above, or click here.

What I'm doing this weekend:

We're going to Baby Fox's gym show case, my usual Saturday morning hike, and swim lessons on Sunday. Other then that, maybe we'll hang out with some friends?

Hiking makes me insanely happy

What I'm looking forward to next month:

Celebrating my best friend's son turning 2. I made him a pretty killer birthday banner, no pictures yet, but when I get one, I'll make sure to show you. I have to say, I impressed myself. LOL.

What else is new:

Getting the results and doing a follow up appointment with the Allergist today. I think I'm going to sign up for the allergy shots. It's a huge time commitment for everyone, but I think it's totally worth it. I'll keep you posted.

So what's up in your world? Tell me something interesting!
