Ady and Bubbles

A local photographer friend of mine is doing summer bubble mini sessions and needed a model for her marketing. I thought Ady would LOVE to play in the bubbles...

... until we showed up. 

This little pissant spent 10 minutes crying her eyes out thinking I was going to leave her right then and there in the grass and jet.

Thankfully she warmed up and gave some cute smiles and ended up loving them. 

 

Note to self: She's cute, but can turn her emotions at the drop of a hat. #girlproblems

Poor blog. I'm trying my best to keep this thing updated but life is just SO insane. I've been increasing my runs to 5-7 miles as I'm doing a half marathon this fall now and with a crazy photography spring and 2 kids activities, I can't keep up! Luckily no one wants family pictures here in July or August since it's just disgusting out with the humidity so I should hopefully have a little break! So today I made it a goal to update the blog with a few posts about what we've been up to!

Outside play. All. The Time. I love having kids who love to be outdoors.

We took the kids to the indoor pool a couple weeks ago when it was raining outside every day and setting records for that here in DC!

This one and those boots.

And this one already doing things and acting like a kindergartner...

And more cuteness just because...

And then there's this...

Field Trips and Paddle Boats

I've volunteered on the last 3 field trips to be a chaperon and it's SO much fun. I get to listen to my big guy chat with this friends and watch him play. The last one was a 'neighborhood' field trip where we walked a little area in DC and chatted about things like the library, post office and other shops. We got a quick tour of a hardware store and ended at an ice cream shop!

That weekend it was gorgeous and we decided to paddle boat around the Tidal Basin and check out the monuments that way. The kids did great and looked super adorable in their lifejackets!

See the Washington Monument behind Ady's head??

Jefferson family selfie!

I had some crackers so, of course, we fed the ducks...

And saw some baby geese!

Another fun family day in the books for us!

Mother's Day 2016

Finally catching up on my posts and am up to Mother's Day! I ran a 4miler with the hubs and beat my goal time by 50 seconds. 

This is my "I see the finish line and I'm going to pass this chick" face.
And I did...

Then we cleaned up and headed out to a brunch as well as a stroll around the beautiful Dupont Circle in DC...

Outdoors

Playing and eating outdoors is what we do in this family and I love it. 

The kids do too. 

And I love that they can now entertain each other...

More T-Ball

Just because he's awesome and looks so friggin adorable in his outfit. 

We've had Ady at a couple games as well and she generally runs around with the other toddlers showing no interest in her brothers game. McDonalds french fries are way cooler.

Family Hike

A couple weekends ago we ventured out for a family hike and picnic on the Potomac to see a little waterfall. It was GREAT weather (before all those endless weeks of rain started) and a perfect family outing. Drew walked almost the entire time and was awesome the whole hike.

These 2 even held hands for a bit....

SO excited for summer!
