Christmas Tradtions

Years ago on pinterest, I saw a Christmas tradition that I knew instantly I wanted to start for our family! Someone had that idea to wrap 24 Christmas books and have their children open one book a night from December 1st to Christmas Eve. I’m slightly obsessed with children’s book, so I KNEW this was something that was right up my alley. At the time when we started this, I didn’t have 24 Christmas books and I didn’t want to drop a hundred bucks on new books right before the holidays. So the first year I bought a couple and just wrapped up regular books we already had to fill the remaining book ..read more

We are loving life here in So Cal this summer! Most weekends are spent at the beach, which has been so relaxing and fun! We’ve reached a point in parenthood where we no longer have a baby to watch and chase around 24/7. We can actually sit under the umbrella and watch the 4 kiddos play without having to constantly be by them every second. And let me tell you, it’s like a whole new experience at the beach! In the past (we lived at Pendleton for 6+ years when the three older kids were little) beach trips have almost been more trouble than fun and felt like a huge amount of work for Brian and I ..read more

Life has been busy busy and yet slow and boring all at the same time! I used to have so much more time when the kids were younger to blog and edit pictures. They went to bed early, typically around 7:30/8 so I had HOURS of free time to do as I please. Now that the boys are getting older, they don’t go to bed til later and my free time is much shorter. This season of life is pretty great though! Raising tween boys (along with the little two of course) and all the challenges and new adventures that come along with it – it kind of feels like someone threw us into the deep end without knowing how ..read more

Does anyone else ever slack on teaching their kids various life skills?! It’s probably because we have a crap ton of kids but sometimes Brian and I sort of look at each other and say – We probably should have taught them how to do that by now! For example, whenever Addy started preschool at 3 she got to school and didn’t know how to drink out of a cup lol. We had always just given her a sippy cup from being too traumatized by all the drinks the boys had split when they were little! Another example, teaching our kids how to cut with a knife. I don’t even want to mention how old our kids were b ..read more

Brian’s 30 days of leave officially ended yesterday! He checked into his new unit, learned a bit more about what he’ll be doing here at Miramar and meet the Marines in his shop. (While it’s not exactly what he wanted) He’s in a non-deployable unit and it seems like it’s going to be a pretty great place to spend a few years of his career. That little guy up there is definitely going to miss having Daddy home all day long though lol ..read more

Before when we lived up at Pendleton I loved to come down to Balboa Park! The area is beautiful. The landscaping, the buildings – I love it! Now that we live in San Diego we’re even closer so while my Mom was in town we took her to check it out. The area is filled with lots of different museums. We went to a couple of them years ago but I hope to visit more this time around. I have pictures just like these two below of Quinn and Grayson when they were littler My favorite area to walk around is this Spanish Village Art Center! I just love all the bright colors, between the fun doors and the ..read more

Somehow that sweet, adorable little 4 year old is now 12! TWELVE! How that’s possible, I’m not quite sure. But man do I love doing life with this guy. He’s the most inquisitive kid. Has as amazing memory and can throw out more random history facts than most adults. I didn’t take many pictures on his birthday because we’re having his party this weekend with family but we did let him open up one gift…. A cell phone. Might not seem like a big deal to some but this was a huge antagonizing decision in this house. Mainly by me haha. I had always said there was pretty much no reason for a young k ..read more

Saturday night we played tourist and headed over to La Jolla Cove to see the sea lions! It was such a beautiful day I knew I wanted to spend it outside and take in some of the beautiful San Diego scenery. Along this area of beach sea lions and seals FILL the area everyday. They’re so used to seeing people that you can literally walk right up to them and they don’t even flinch. Haha – they don’t smell the best! We stuck around for sunset and then headed to a local pizza place for dinner. I see us spending many nights at the beach during our time here in San Diego. It never gets old watching ..read more

We have arrived and are starting to get settled into life in San Diego! We got the keys to our house, our household goods arrived and the kids have started school. Brian still has about a week left of leave – which is awesome while getting this house all set up! This is a 4 day weekend for the kids so we spent yesterday at the beach. February at the beach?! I can definitely get used to this! Being back in base housing is a bit different than we’ve been used to the last 6 years. Dark beige carpets, the smallest gallery kitchen you’ve ever seen – you’ll probably never see a picture of that on t ..read more
