Summer begins: Checking off the bucket list!

To kick off our bucket list for the summer, Kaz and I started off with a bang, immediately crossing things off!

1st stop was our local water park. Kaz's favorite spot was the lazy river (predictable I know;)

Next, we started our very first garden! Thanks to some motivation from a friend...I gathered up the very little "green" thumb I have, packed up Kaz and headed to find some good stuff to plant. After a stop at Wilson's nursery and Lowe's, I do believe we have one nice beginner's garden;)
Now we're just hoping it grows!

We also just made a stop at Evan's Orchard for some yummy food, apple pies, and play time with Kaz's BFF Griffin.

Summer has been nothing but spectacular thus far...and it's only beginning!
Let's see how many more things we can cross off the bucket list before my next post;)

Our fun Friday this week was spent golfing with Daddy! Kaz loved driving the cart and keeping score...

Birthday Bash!

Kaz's 2nd bash happened this Saturday at Wilshire's... a country club just down the street from our house. All the decor and details were prepared weeks in advance, with only a few minor touches and setup the day of. Little did I know, the decorations and myself were not quite as prepared as we thought! The temps and wind were quite a bear...but with a little help, we pulled off a pretty fun party:)

Kaz invited all his besties to attend - It was one "orchestra" of a party!

I guess you could say he OD'd on the "tars"!

He got lots of great gifts and even scored an awesome Evan's Orchard season pass from his BFF Griffin! I'm sure they will soak up all sorts of fun there this summer:)

Thankful to celebrate another year of life and grateful for all of the many blessings God has given our family!

Kaz is TWO!

Yes - you read that right....my sweet little preemie baby boy turned TWO this Monday!

I can't believe the time has passed so quickly, although he has grown leaps and bounds since birth! (Currently sporting a 4T on top and 3T on bottom)

Planning Kaz's 2nd birthday was so easy this year. Even though he's not mega fluent with speech right now, I know one thing that he adores - his "TAR".

We had an early celebration this past weekend with my dad's family in Carrollton and will celebrate again in Georgetown this weekend. Kaz is very fortunate to be surrounded by so many loving family and friends!

Since his actual birthday fell on a Monday we celebrated with his favorite foods - chik-fil-a and sweet cupcakes:)

He didn't understand why Mommy wanted him to be around something that was "hot" though? He had no interest in blowing out the candles and thought it was crazy I would put that "hot" so close to him;)

Birthdays make me reflect back on the past year(s) and see all the great gifts and blessings God has given our family. No matter how insignificant Kaz's milestones may seem, each and every one is so very special to me as his mommy.

Happy Birthday Kaz Clay - Mommy and Daddy love you soooo much!

Friday Fun Day!

Since I was off this Friday and we had the entire afternoon together, we decided to make it a play-date with Daddy, Mommy, and Kazer, visiting the new and improved Evan's Orchard.

As usual lunch was delicious... I think Kaz tried a little bit of everything, between my burger, Preston's barbecue sandwich, chips, and his own grilled cheese. 

Then we decided to venture out to the play-yard. First stop - the slides. We partnered up and went down the big one. Then Kaz decided to take on a slide on his own:)

Before we left, Kaz and Daddy had to hit up the fudge bar and pet the doggies. 

Looking forward to many more days at the orchard this summer....
