Exhausted after pool time

Happy 4th of July!!!

{Aidan & Madison}

In a spur of the moment decision we headed down to Colby and Meagan's shore house in North Wildwood on Saturday afternoon. We spent about an hour or so on the beach and then hung around that night. Sunday we spent some time on the beach and then hung out at the house before walking up to the boardwalk to see the fireworks. Before going for the walk, Aidan enjoyed some Madison time. He was so happy to hold her, well, at least for a few minutes. I got some cute shots on my camera and need to upload those still. Aidan didn't really like the fireworks this year. He said they were too loud and didn't even want to watch. We were originally on the pier by the waterpark, but then quickly walked back toward the house once we realized how bad the wind was blowing sparks and smoke toward us. It was a beautiful night out though, and we certainly can't wait to be back down there for vacation in a couple of weeks!

My thoughts on life right now:
My little guy isn't so little when he's holding a baby.
We LOVE the beach.

Sleeping in the aerobed for the first time. Let's hope for a good night:)

Bathroom Mini-Makeover

So there are a few things I'd like to do around the house this summer. One of them being making over Aidan's bathroom. When we bought the house it had a rubber duck switchplate and I just went with it. Lately I've had enough of the ducks and wanted something a little more stylish but still kid-friendly. A month or so ago while in Target I saw an awesome whimsical shower curtain. I held off because I didn't want to impulse shop, even though I knew the bathroom was on my to-do list. Well, today while out at Target I decided to go ahead and get the shower curtain and a few coordinating items to go along. I love the little squirrels and owls on there, and so does Aidan. The colors are just right and seem to match the existing wall color perfectly. There are still some things I'd like to get to finish off the room now that I've seen what I already bought put together, but it'll be easier to add on now. I'd also LOVE to get a new vanity and tile floor in there, but that's just dreaming. lol. I do think I'll try and find a light fixture that matches a little better since I've hated the builder grade one since we moved in! Anyway, here are some before and after shots for you.

{BEFORE}

{AFTER}

I'm just totally in love with the way it has turned out so far. It makes me smile, seriously. I don't really have style, so the fact that this ended up looking as good as it does and making me feel this happy about it is quite pleasing. So, what do you think?

My thoughts on life right now:
Yay for one project started and basically done!
Steph, you should be happy about all this posting. :)

Growing up!

{Got that far without help!}

Sean and I were outside grilling and Aidan was playing. All of a sudden he starts yelling for us because he was stuck on the climbing wall and couldn't go any further. We were so happy and couldn't believe how far he had gotten on his own. After some playing we enjoyed dinner on the patio and Aidan had some ice cream for dessert. We had to go in sooner than we liked due to being eaten by the buggies. Boo to the mosquitos!

My thoughts on life right now:
I am truly blessed with an awesome son and wonderful husband.
Is my little baby really big enough to climb and play on a big swingset already?
