Mama Said There Would Be Days Like This!

When I played basketball at Davis every year at our final banquet we would watch a slideshow on all the sad, funny, silly, and heartbreaking moments of the season while listening to the song 

"Mama Said There Would be Days Like This" 

This picture of Reese sums up our recent feelings (just look at that lip)!!

Not so fun things!

1. Nose Bleeds and Packing (Kevin) - 1 surgery 3 visits to the Emergency Room because of complications (mentioned this before)

2. Bladder Obstruction (Kim) - 1 ER visit and a catheter for 1 week! (worst.thing.ever)

3. Car Trouble - Had to rent a car for a week to ensure Kevin would return from Fresno and survive the Grapevine! Thankfully Kevin's parents generously offered to drive our Jeep down once it was fixed. love them.

4. Canceled Vacation (no camping)

5. Addison went for a walk with her Dad and packed her 65 pound backpack and fell  

6. Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease (Addison & Reese) - Unconsolable crying and three sleepless nights. Finally we are recovering and on the up and up!

7. Missed my best friend's daughters 2nd birthday

Silly/Fun

1. Every time Reese goes potty in the toilet Addison tells her how proud she is of her! Love that.

2. Redecorated the house for 4th of July - love being festive and stalking pinterest!

3. Kevin and I had spontaneous "date-days" and time re-couperating together where we watched movies, ate by the t.v. and slept. 

4. School is out for summer!

5. Addison loves to laugh and has developed this new super loud hysterical laugh!

6. Reese continues to dance, sing, and be super Independent! She definitely is a Daddy's girl in ever sense of the word!

7. Auntie Elisa, Grandma, and Papa came to visit!

8. Getting to know our neighbors more and taking nightly walks and making more play dates!

9. The girls are playing more together and are pretending doctor, school, and playing lots with babies!

* More to share later!

* So although things don't always go according to our plan we definitely have faith that things are happening for a reason. Joy's Hope is one of my favorite bloggers and each week I feel like the verse was just meant for me to see. Check our her story it is amazing. 

We feel super blessed to start the summer with happy and healthy hearts! More pictures of happy moments to come! But this is one of my favorites because we are truly in this together!
