2018 Year in Review part 2

Howdy folks! Welcome to Wednesday!

 Halfway through the week! 

Today I am finishing up my 2018 Year in Review, part 2! 

Hope Ya'll enjoy!

July 2018

We spent our Fourth of July with our best friends, eating yummy food and then shooting fireworks and doing sparklers together! 

Work from sun up to well after sun down called for some beautiful views! 

We picked out new backpacks, 

and rode the mall train

and these two enjoyed getting to hang out with the new cat at the daycare they went to!

August 2018

August was a whirlwind with meeting our pre-k teacher,

to the first day of school 

and these two missing each other so much they tackled each other on the floor the minute they saw each other

Moved the oldest into her dorm for college

and cuddled on the couch a lot! 

We found out a wonderful surprise where these two are being promoted to big brother and big sister, 

to a precious new baby! :) 

So excited to be adding a new little to our family in a couple of weeks 

the littles and I made cupcakes for daddy's birthday

and went to a trampoline park for a birthday party

and had the best time ever! 

September 2018

This little celebrated grandparents day with Mimi

and the kiddos wanted to match with daddy and have a bandage on their hands just like him, even though daddy was the only one with stiches

We played outside a lot, 

and with lots of water balloons,

and once again went to the trampoline park for another birthday party! 

We celebrated this precious boys third birthday

with his choice of brownies instead of cake :) 

October 2018

Cuddles for momma on my birthday

and hubby got creative with my birthday candles

and we celebrated a family party for this little

We had all the halloween fun this month, 

my Catboy and Ariel :) 

went to the carnival and rode all the rides

and went on a nature halloween hike with daddy!

Muffins with Moms 2018 :) 

Cannot believe my little girl is old enough to be in school 

and we finally made it to the pumpkin patch! 

We rode the hay ride out to the pumpkins

and these two were loving it! 

we played games, jumped on the trampoline and ate lunch

and enjoyed a stroll through the corn maze! It was a total blast and we cannot wait to go again next year! 

We went through downtown trick or treating, and these two got to walk together for the first time! It was so much fun to see them interacting with people and saying trick or treat!

On Halloween night we met up with our besties and walked around our neighborhood and had a total blast! Halloween was a school night this year, but we still managed to spend a couple hours out and about running around and playing like crazy! 

November 2018

November we kicked off by traveling and surprising Mimi and Grandpa with an Anniversary party! 25 years of marriage and they are still going strong :) I couldn't ask for better parents to look up to and to have as grandparents for my sweet littles! 

We also kicked off the craziest season at school with lots of projects, including disguising a turkey as a unicorn 

and sitting in the freezing cold for a book parade

where I had a little mouse with a cookie :) 

For Thanksgiving this year we did something a little different, and took a road trip 

to the beach

and it was the best time! 

Happy Thanksgiving from hubby and I 

We ate the best food 

and rode on the little train on the boardwalk 

and just enjoyed time with daddy in the sand

It was nice to be able to sit and watch the ocean

but also go out to dinner as a family of four and enjoy ourselves 

We also were with Mimi and Grandpa and my sister and her boyfriend and it was just nice to be all together and enjoying time with the littles

and then as soon as we got home my two boys were playing video games and chilling before bed :P 

December 2018

December started out with a surprise baby shower

and lots of hand holding and cuddles 

It was cold at parent drop off but these two were still smiling and happy

and we visited both malls a couple times throughout the month, and Riley was obsessed with the Christmas tree and Choo Choo 

the kiddos got to make new bears as their Christmas gift from their older sister

and we enjoyed a pre Christmas Eve at Mimi's house where we celebrated with family and ate so much good food! 

These two were so excited on Christmas morning, and played with the Christmas train for hours.

And we had a relaxed New Year's Eve where we played Candy Land, ate good food and watched football!

2018 was incredibly busy and insane, and while I am glad it is over and we are in a new year, I am sad too.  I am excited to be introducing a new little into our family this year,  but will miss my adventures with just these two! Closing one door and opening another and I am excited to see what 2019 has in store for our family! 

Thanks for stopping by and taking a glimpse into our crazy and busy 2018! It was a blast! 

See Ya'll again on Friday!
