I suppose its a good thing when you have to do regular catch up posts, because that means you are actually out their LIVING life right? Because right now I feel like those are the only kind of posts I do haha! So bear with me as I come at you with another one of those.

On Mother's Day, I was lucky enough to get another reservation at the exclusive Mother's Day Cafe, complete with a delicious meal, great company and servers, and included babysitting! We also attended church where all the women were showered with praise and goodies-Addy even made me a special treat in nursery, and Lester got me the most beautiful red roses. Fun little fact-when Lester and I were growing up he used to get me flowers fairly often-always yellow roses, because apparently yellow flowers mean friendship. He always said that I was his best friend. Since we've been married he's gotten me lots of flowers, but I don't recall any more yellow roses. I asked him about this and he says its appropriate because its obvious we're best friends, we don't need flowers to say that-but we are lovers too [clearly, two kids later hahahahah!] Sometimes I still wonder how I lucked out so much to get that man! Anyways, it was great day with my BEAUTIFUL girls, and many of the wonderful women in my life!

We also have been keeping busy with the usual zoo trips and life, but also a visit to the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. I remember going when I was younger, but since then it has been renovated and it was amazing! They have everything from an aquarium, indoor rainforest, planetarium, earthquake simulator, kids area, penguin and museum exhibit, whale exhibit, archaeological lab area, and so much more. It was such a fun day, and I loved seeing how much Isla enjoyed watching and touching some of the sea life. It was definitely a must see!

Speaking of Isla, she is so close to walking-she has taken about three steps on her own without holding on to anyone or anything, and I am both excited and dreading the days when those steps multiply. She wants to be involved in absolutely everything now a days, from eating up at the table, crawling/cruising/dancing whenever someone else is, climbing, talking, singing, hiding, playing, you name it, she wants in. It is so fun to watch the world through her eyes-while still a big Momma's girl, she seems to be fearless. Here's hoping those boundaries kick in sometime haha.

Other then that, just the usual life stuff. Parks, walks, visits with friends, block building, unlimited books, playing princesses and dinosaurs, wrestling with Daddy, hanging with family etc etc. Now, more then anything we are just rearing and ready for our upcoming little family vacation, camping and visiting a few national parks-to say we are excited is and understatement haha.

So ultimately, life is just chugging right along, and we are doing our best to enjoy the ride!
