I haven't been able to post the past couple of months. We have had some celebrations, times of remembering and has also been a time to look forward. May started out with Mothers Day. We decided to again, spend the day as a family at the beach. It was a beautiful day which made it that much better. Gabby and Tyler loved playing in the sand and even getting wet!
During mother's day weekend we took the kids to both their grandma and mom-mom's grave. It's been important to have them a part of honoring them on mother's day. I'm sure both mother's were smiling down at both of them.
It seemed to get hotter this year which allowed us to break out the pool
earlier. The kids enjoyed playing in it during the long memorial weekend!
Relay for Life was the beginning of this month. I always walk on our church team in memory of mom who died of lunch cancer. This year Gabby jr jazzercise group performed during the event which allowed us to include her in the walking and during the candle ceremony. Although she didn't fully understand what was going on, she did know it was a day set aside to honor my mom and that we were raising money to find a cure.
I take Gabby from time to time to have mother-daughter days. We went to get pedicures and manicures. She loves being pampered and knew exactly what she wanted!
For Julio's Birthday, we had a BBQ with family and friends. Julio helped my dad cook his favorite BBQ chicken. I think Julio enjoyed the food and the the company. I'm sure it won't be the last BBQ of the summer!Tomorrow Julio is taking off and we are going to the beach for the day. It will be nice to relax and have some much needed time just the two of us.
Things have been a little rough getting into a different routine for summer. I'm trying to get into a flexible schedule where I can have time with the kids, relax with time to myself and do the things I know I have to do to stay healthy mentally and physically. Some days are easier than others, but I continue to get up and press forward.
