Shower Time

I know some mommies that shower with their kiddos and others who almost always shower with their spouses. For me I prefer neither. Shower time for me is a scared time. Not in the prayer way but in the I need a break from everything and recharge kind of way. 

I love taking a really hot shower and just relaxing and renewing my energy. I love taking a break from my kids (well at least one, can't really take a break from growing Pilot although he does settle down when I shower) and just enjoying the peace and quiet the bathroom shower brings. 

There are many times where my shower and get ready time only lasts as long as a movie can hold Rex's attention and then there are other times like this evening that I jump in the shower after everyone else has gone to bed and I can just enjoy the quiet for as long as the hot water lasts. 

I really don't know mommies that enjoy shower time the way that I do and I often wonder if I'm the only one. I know that M would love more shower time with me and Rex loves taking showers with one of us but I just don't enjoy it. Whenever I have to share shower time I feel like my space is being invaded and I avoid it unless time or space requires that I share. I have often wondered how it would feel to enjoy sharing a shower since it is so peaceful to me and maybe that's how all these other mommies feel. I guess for me it will always be my place to escape, even if it is only for a few minutes. To recharge from a long day or to gain energy and peace before a crazy one. All I know is that I enjoy my shower time alone!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...
