Summer Must Haves

EDITED: I needed to edit and add a few things because I forgot some major summer must haves on my list!

So I thought seeing as it is Memorial Day and it is the unofficial start of summer I would do a post on my summer must haves for both myself and Zane! Hopefully we will have a summer... we are still waiting for that warm weather to hit here in the PNW. I see next Saturday is supposed to be 76 degrees but that could change very quickly here. But this is my hopeful list for that summer to hit so we can go outside and enjoy it!

For Muah:
Some very colorful tanks

A basic black skirt to go with all those wonderfully colorful tanks

An adorable flowy dress
Some bright nail polish for my fingers & toes
A great pair of sunnies
A way cute floppy hat
A fabulous pair of sandals

A gorgeous "mom" suit
A hot pink tote for the summer essentials
(when we actually make it to the pool or beach)
For my little man:


A pair or two or three cargo shorts
Some little baby flips
A very suave fedora 
A few absolutely hunky muscle shirts
Some really cute polos
Way to many plaid shirts
Of course some cute graphic tees
adorable swim trunks
 For the both of us:


For me
For Zane
Scalp guard for me
(I burn VERY easy on my head)
A totally fun pool for the backyard
A cute little water table
And of course some great mags
(for mommy to read while baby plays)
A water bobble for me
(important to keep me hydrated)
A cute canteen type water bottle for my little man
(important to keep him hydrated, too)
And what's summer without some great music? Here is a summer playlist for my boy & me to listen to while playing outside in our pool and water table that he got for his birthday.

One Year Letter


Zane -

You are one year old and your momma is still trying to grasp that fact! I can still remember May 21st of last year like it was yesterday. I was so excited when I found out that I was indeed in labor and would be admitted to the hospital to have you... I have never felt so much joy, until you were in my arms for the first time that is. I cannot explain to you in words how happy you make me every single day of my life. I cannot imagine my life without you. Your daddy and I talk about how we don't even remember what we did when we didn't have you. It feels like you have been here forever. You learn something new every day and I love watching you grow and learn new things. You get so excited when you do something correctly and we say "Yay, good job," you always stop and start clapping for yourself and it is the cutest thing in the world. You truly are amazing and have changed everything about my life and I couldn't be happier about it. You make everything more fun and more exciting. I couldn't ask for a better baby boy. You are my baby soulmate and I love you more and more every single day. I pray for you and ask that you will be a God loving, family oriented man when you have grown. You mean so much to me that I hope that you turn out as wonderful as I think you are. I also pray that I can be a good momma to you and that you will love me for everything that I do for you in your life. I want you to be safe, happy & healthy. Those are my three wishes for you. I love love love you my sweet little man. Thank you for all that you do for me every day.

Love,
Your Momma

Went shopping with Grammy today and on our way home this is what my little man ended up doing... using his lovey blanket 'Gaffy' as a pillow. He is so sweet and adorable when he is passed out. I love my little one year old so much! Still trying to grasp the fact that he is ONE YEAR OLD!

My loves


I'm loving that my hubs is home for good now... no more leaving for the week and coming home on the weekend.

I'm loving my freshly, professionally cleaned carpets, they look so beautiful again, like when we put them in.


I'm loving that The Bachelorette just started and that some of the men {especially William} are VERY nice to look at!


I'm loving this little man the most.




Getting his first taste of sand... I'm not sure if he liked it or not.

Wordless Wednesday

This is what has been going on in my house the last two days. Tantrums constantly about absolutely NOTHING! Does this mean we are entering the Terrible Twos early?!


I will get a post up about Mr. Man's 1st Birthday as soon as I get the pictures from my photographer. She said she'd get them done as soon as she could. I am very excited to see them and see how they all turned out! They will be amazing I am sure and I definitely recommend having someone else take pictures at your kids first birthday because that way you can enjoy the entire party without having to worry to get pics of everything! So as soon as I get those I will post a Birthday post!
