August 10 on 10

As always our days start out in my room where Adrain wakes up every single day!  Thank God for a king size bed because I don't know what would happen when Sid starts making her way in.  I already get stuck in the middle and being almost eight months pregnant I sweat like nobody's business!  Even when Manny leaves to work and I move over to his side of the bed she creeps over so she's right on top of me!  I suck it up though and just keep telling myself that I need to love it because their will come a day when she doesn't want to sleep in my bed anymore.  Well it's nice to know someone is well rested LOL!

 

 
 
 
 After breakfast we head over to the park for a few hours before it gets too hot.  As always I get a sign from my dad to let us know he's with us.  I can't believe it's already been four months since he's left this world!  I always thought it was impossible and I find myself still pretending that I will physically see him again.  I allow myself to pretend that he will walk through my door and as his vibrant, loud voice calls my name he washes any dishes in my sink.  I come in the kitchen and tell him his hair looks crazy and he laughs while running his wet hands through his hair and with his eyebrows moving up and down he says, "You got a handsome daddy"!  I've never missed anyone so much in my life!

 
 
Adrain plays a little three on three game of basketball!  It's her first time and she gets a little down on herself for not being as good as everyone else.  I tell her she did great and she tells me I shouldn't lie to her and only say what she wants to hear!  I'm pretty sure she is only 5 but sometimes she talks to me as if she is 25! 
 
 
Every Tuesday night we watch Americas Got Talent and Adrain says she will be on the show in the future.  She always asks if I want to hear the song she's going to sing and I listen while she belts out some random melody that she makes up from scratch!  In the below picture I asked her to sing her song for me and she didn't even hesitate at the opportunity!
 
 
 
 Today I am 31 weeks pregnant with baby girl #3!  These days Braxton Hicks has taken over daily and I lose my breath going up a flight of stairs but I am happy that she is healthy and consistently doing tae bo inside my belly! 



Every time I have a checkup appointment for baby girl these two love to play doctor and patient.
 
 
 
 Sid just coughing in Adrains face for no reason in the hospital parking lot!
 
 
I am trying to be in my photos more with my kids just because I want them to be able to look back and know that I was with them instead of always behind the camera.  It is definitely challenging and time consuming but I'm sure it will get easier as time goes on.  On the way home from the hospital Sidney told me she wanted to go to bed.  We read some books and then she just wanted to rock.  We do this every day so it was nice to be able to capture this memory.

June 10 on 10

Today I knew I was going to do this months ten on ten but I'm not going to lie... I struggled!  I haven't actually taken out my camera in a while except to take a maternity photo of myself.  Photography is still a passion but at times I get overwhelmed with light, settings, and focus.  Ok moving on! 
Breakfast Time!

 
After breakfast we decided to go to the park to feed the geese some old Kashi crackers that I swore I would eat because they are good for me. After a year of living in the cabinet I think I'm good with all that!  Needless to say we didn't make it down to the geese because it was really windy and cold but we got some photos quick.




 
 
Adrain was happy to make it back to the car and bundle up!
 
 
 
Sid made her way back in too LOL!
 
 
 
We thought a trip to Billy Beez would be good to burn off some energy!
 
 
Because I think about my dad everyday and I know he sends me signs to let us know he's with us!
 
 
 
 
We finished the night off with my oldest baby graduating from her second year of preschool!  She was so excited as she walked across the stage in front of a large audience of people. She was also very pleased that her father yelled out, " Yo Adrain!" imitating Rocky! I can't believe she will be going to kindergarten!

December 10 on 10

Tis the season!  Every year I say I want to get a real tree and every year I put up this fake tree that looks fake but its whole three pieces are so easy to put together and the lights are already on and working!  How can I say no?  Haha! Anyways, we started the new elf on the shelf tradition this year thanks to my sister in law and the girls could not be happier with them!  Names are Larry and Lucius and will not be appearing in any of the photos.  I had no intentions of Christmas cards this year but since Sid was already dressed in her Santa pajamas and Ad dressed herself that morning and it matched the theme of things I figured why not! 
 
 
That big bear Ad got for Christmas last year and they love it!  When they play house Adrain says he's the dad, she's the mom, and Sid's the baby.  Sid calls the bear Daddy now!

November 10 on 10

Well its been a while since I've posted due to not enough time in a day LOL!  Also this is more like a 10 on 5 since I documented the 5th of the month.  Either way its a single day of my babies lives that I get to share with you.
 
Yes this is real life people!  If ones gotta go the other is running behind!  Its been too many times where I have lived the Clorox bleach commercial where the little toddler is so proud of himself for using his potty, he carries the bowl out to show his mom but there is nothing left inside of it.  Yeah that's Sid to the T!  She has been potty training for four months now and when I started I would leave the potty in the living room so it would make it easier for her if she had to go.  Once she got the hang of it and she knew the routine of emptying her little bowl into the big bowl  in the bathroom she started to do it herself only to miss most of the big bowl!  Hey at least she tried!

Her all time favorite part is washing her hands.  She could play in the water all day if I let her.
 
This angle showed less of my toy filled house!  No matter how many times I say pick one toy at a time it just doesn't get through to these people!  They look me dead in the eye and bring out more toys. 

 Both the girls love Frank!  The first thing Sid says when she wakes up is, "Frankie"! He has a love hate relationship with them though.  He loves when they feed him whether its on purpose or if its him stealing their food off the table.  He hates when they try to initiate a hug or lay in his bed.  He's a moody dog LOL!



If Ad runs then Sid runs.  She's always right behind her like a little chicken!  A few times a day I just stare at the two of them interacting and I can honestly say that life is amazing! 
 
 
Who doesn't love the fall! 

 Little sis helping big sis:)


   Blowing bubbles!
