Watch out kindergarten, here comes the bashman.

Ahh! I just can't. I literally can NOT. How did this happen?! How did my baby boy get old enough for big kid school? It feels like just yesterday he uttered his first word ( Elmo)and took his first steps. But Let me put my crazy over dramatic  emotions to the side for a moment and gush about how cute my little dude looked on his last day. He beamed with so much joy and pride as he sang his songs and recited his lines. I couldn't be any prouder of him. This year we had plenty of ups and downs but I am so thankful for all of it. I am so excited to watch him come into his own and to watch him turn into this cool little dude. Here are some snaps of Sebastian's last day of prek4. 
Along with the grandparents we celebrated his big day with way to much pizza and way to many games at Chuck ECheese. 
This blurry picture sums up this moment in our life so perfectly. Bash being goofy, ellie singing frozen, and Axel pulling mommas hair.

May 4-10, 2015

On May 4th we were so happy to finally meet our newest god daughter Finley Eloise. ( how gorgeous is that name btw) She is so cute and so perfect and OMG the new baby smell. I can't even. Seriously I can't. I might have even metioned to chase I needed a newborn ASAP. ( don't worry I was shut down really quick) I just can't get over how my best friend in the whole wide world is a momma of two! She will soon understand why I'm so crazy. Bwahahhahahahah. 
Oh Finnylou, nanny loves you oh so much girl. I can't wait to get to know you and for all the fun adventures we will have.  I'll eat you up I love you so. 

Bash had a water day at school complete with mini pools, water tables, and a huge water slide. I am so lucky that my mother in laws work schedule is flexible and she sat with the babes so I could go spend some one on one with my biggest little. 
This kid and his faces. He cracks me up. 

So this Mother's Day we got to celebrate not only the amazing mommas in our life but also all the new babies at Harbor Community Church. This year they had 9 babies total including our sweet baby moose. It was so awesome to get up and make the commitment to teach Axel ( and all of our littles) that God made them, Jesus loves them, and wants to be their friend forever. 

Even though Chase was feeling sick Sunday morning he got up with the kids and brought them to pick up doughnuts for a breakfast picnic in the living room. How sweet is that?!? 
This picture perfectly sums up our little crew.  Btw we are in front of our neighbors house because her garden is so much nicer than ours haha! 
 After church we had a small get together with family with some cake and refreshments. I didn't take any pictures with family members but I did remember to take a quick snapshot of the table and cake. ( ugh the cake, what a nightmare. God was definitely teaching me about grace and patience that day. Just a fyi it was suppose to be blue with no flowers and axels name on it. But it still tasted awesome!)

Beach trip


A couple of weekends ago Chases parents got a beach house and invited all the kids and grandkids to come have some beachy fun. So that's 6 adults and five littles 5 and under. Yeah it was a very loud house. The house was absolutely gorgeous and came with all the bells and whistles! Even had two golf carts that made getting to the beach with all of our stuff much more convenient. It was such a great time making memories with all the cousins and with Gigi and p-paw. 
Who knew we needed so much stuff for five people for two nights.
All packed up and ready to go! About a hour in we got super lucky and all three babes fell asleep! 

I love a good hashtag!!

This dude was such a little trooper at the beach. He took his nap in a pack and play under the tent.
We took one of the golf carts for a sunset ride around the neighborhood. I am so thankful for all the memories we get to make with the littles.
P-paws naptime!
Dear Florida,
Thank you for the shiny bright sun, white beaches, and the gorgeous blue water. We had such a great time spending our days together creating as many memories as we could. Hope to see you soon!
