Birthdays and a Reminder . .

Shayla turned 6 last week and we had a fun birthday party with her friends and then went to the zoo on her actual birthday. It was really fun and I can't believe my baby is 6!!!!! We are doing much better than a few weeks ago and getting along better and we have a good system down of her earning some money  which she is all about lately! 

This past weekend we went on a little boating trip to Yuba with Korbs family and some friends. It was fun even through the sand and wind! Shayla loves going out and playing in the sand and going on the boat! Emery loved it too, and even though she had a hard time sleeping and we all came home sore, tierd, and ornery- we had FUN! Well we were gone I didn't check my phone at all really except for once on Saturday, and when I did I got some horrible news that a friend of mine from my Mops group at church, had just lost her 2 year old daughter suddenly. It is heartbreaking. I just ache for her and their family and friends. It was such a reminder of how life is never guaranteed and again how much more present and relaxed I need to be with my kiddos and everyone I love in general. I pray my friends find some comfort and peace in such a difficult time. 

Go hug your littles tight today and be present!
