We celebrated Jacob's 4th birthday at Pump it Up with besties!

Tonight we celebrated Cassidy's first birthday. What a beautiful little snowflake. I just love these two and am so thankful to work Cassidy's mom in first grade.

Pump It Up! Bryson Turns FIVE!

On Sunday January 25th, our family of three joined our Fantlet friends to celebrate Bryson's 5th birthday at Pump It Up! From jump houses, obstacle courses, and large blow up slides, from black lights, pizza, cake, ninja turtle themed pieces, and birthday besties, I have to say we would give this party a full FIVE stars!

 

 {Love these ladies and babes}

We definitely loved our time with sweet friends. Little girl was a bit unsure of the blow up houses, but quickly became acclimated and didn't want to leave.

After our time in the play rooms, it was time to celebrate the birthday boy with pizza, presents, and a delicious dessert.

  

I just loved watching our big girl sitting at the big kids table. She loved her slice of cheese pizza and cake! Plus it was fun sitting next to our sweet friend, Ellie.

Happy Birthday Bryson! We give you a big hug and a high FIVE for five amazing birthday years!

Thank Heaven for Little Girls: Sweet Saturday

{Double Baby Shower at Breadwinners}

Our Saturday was filled with sweet moments of celebration and silliness.  My morning began loving on our baby beauty. After a few hours of play it was time to get ready to celebrate two sweet friends in our ABF and their baby girls that are expected to arrive in mid March. It was such a special brunch to celebrate sweet friends and adorable baby girls. 

Once I arrived back home after our little girl's afternoon nap, we enjoyed an afternoon of play and dress up. Auby chose these adorable little accessories. I couldn't help but have a little photo opt & dress up during snack time.

From upstairs play, dress up, and snack time, we had a fun afternoon inside. A few hours later, we decided to make our way outside and enjoy a little baby play on the patio.

 

My heart is absolutely full! I'm thankful for sweet Saturdays. Thank heaven for little girls!

Park Before Dark

When did our baby beauty get so big?

Last weekend, we had enjoyed an unexpectedly gorgeous day in January. While we've had temperatures this month from the teens and twenties we've also had highs in the 60s and 70s. I guess that's Texas for you! With all the sickness we've had in our Zellner home, it was nice to take advantage of this gorgeous day and have a fun day in the park before dark.

Ok, I may hover. I am trying so badly not to be one of those moms. I've trying to instill independence and self sufficiency... and most of the time I do a pretty good job. But seriously, when you are on a jungle gym and are terrified of heights, it is crazy to think my 15 month old is scaling this huge piece of metal and doing much better than her mama.Oh how I love my big girl.

But what a fun day at the park we had. From happy feet, slides, swings that are not our favorite thing, and running home with our wa-wa... it was a good day!



Family Funday on a Monday

 

I am so thankful for this family funday on our Monday. This weekend was absolutely beautiful but our sweet babe was under the weather.



This morning Aubrey woke up fever free and feeling great. I was so excited for a day of mall fun and park play time with my loves. As we were getting ready for a morning of shopping and mall play, I just couldn't resist these pink sweet feet. I have to say I am in love with these adorable Wal-Mart cuties. The best part of this photo is that I had unintentionally caught this sweet shoe-la-la moment.

 



Our, morning consisted of shopping mall and play area fun, a car ride full of thrown O's, and a pretty decent afternoon nap. While baby rested, the husband and I spent the afternoon cleaning. For the most part, the house was pretty cleaned minus our bedroom and closets that I tore apart. The great thing with cleaning is that doors can easily be shut. Out of sight out of mind right?!?  Anyway after her nap and a quick lunch, we made our way to the park. Talk about crowded but oh so fun. She was very shy and stand offish at first. I'm really working on not hovering. Within 10-15 minutes, she was out and about and in full speed. I absolutely loved watching her explore.

 

After an hour or so of play, we decided to get some sweets with my sweets. We enjoyed cupcakes at Smallcakes in Frisco. They were absolutely delicious. We tasted lego my eggo and nutella wella. Auby was all smiles.

 



 It was a truly sweet ending to a super sweet day!

The Sick Bug

The sick bug found a way home with our sweet babe. On Friday I received a call from daycare that our little one was sick and would need to go home for the day. I have to say that I absolutely love my mama/baby cuddle time, but it breaks this mama's heart when she's hurting.

While our night was a hard one, full of tears and many sheet changes later, she was able to sleep some.

This was my viewpoint Friday night while baby girl as we watched Sofia the First and cuddled.

Saturday it seems we are on the mend. We are still in full fussy and cuddle mode, but definitely are starting to hold things down. With a short walk outside on this gorgeous day for some Vitamin D and a long nap, I'm hoping for some great progress this weekend. Bye Bye sick bug!

Our Monday Through Thursday

Monday: I absolutely love this great reminder. Through the ups and downs of life, "Don't forget to be AWESOME!"

Tuesday:  We enjoyed a night of Mama Tuesdays and Fantlet fun. I surely love these sweet faces and friendships. I also love special time spent with my bestie.

  

Wednesday: I could hold this little girl forever. After some sweet snuggles and a quick baby bath time, we made our way to the church for our ABF bible study. I'm excited and thankful for some time to spend to discuss real life application on being a Christian wife, mother, teacher, etc. I'm really looking forward to continuing my walk and dive deeper into His word.

Thursday: I am loving my kitten cutie and celebrating the 100th day and hat day at daycare. She was all smiles today.

Happy Monday through Thursday. We are so excited about this upcoming three day weekend and all of the exciting adventures as well as lazy days to come.

Our 2015 Firsts

The start of our New Year began with lots of fun firsts for 2015.

 

Our Tuesdays are so fun with our Fantlet friends. While the daddies are at Mens Bible Fellowship, the babes enjoy a night of friendship fun together while the mommies enjoy a glass of wine or two.

Our shoes are made for walking! I'm just loving my girl's new shoes. Thanks Oma for our first set of running shoes, as I feel like we are really moving and grooving these days. How are you getting so big baby girl?

Auby turned 15 months old at the beginning of this month. She's already so big!

Driving Miss Baby! Auby is loving her new baby and stroller. Thanks to our Fant friends for the sweet gift.

This month we were given some fun toys from a sweet co-worker and teacher friend. She is loving her wheels on the bus! The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep!

 

 {You've got mail!}

 We enjoyed our second trip to Chuck-e-cheese!

 Lunches and dinners out with the babe are little more eventful. You want to be everywhere. We went to Rosas for dinner before bible study. You loved looking at the colorful birds and sun. Our dinner was about 20 minutes long before you were ready to be up and out of there.

 I am so thankful for days without plans. We love our lazy Fridays!

I love cookie cutter pancakes on lazy Saturdays.



Trips to the mall have become a family favorite. Auby was a little unsure of her first escalator ride, but quickly fell in love.

 

Sunday morning play before church. It seems like baby girl is always in a blur these days. Love our little girl.



 

Happy First Days of 2015!
