Update

So it's been forever since I have blogged. I have a few drafts that Ive been working on, but until I'm done with them, i thought I'd give you an update on the business of our lives.

you know i thought life was supposed to slow down after the holidays and new year were over. NOT SO. It has been NON-stop for us. Tons of youth events, possible home renovations, Judah's 2nd birthday (hard to believe), Photography business, the list goes on and on and on!! Thing is I like it busy. I may complain about it, but i wouldn't have it any other way. I like our fast paced life.

Judah is now 2. WHAT? Seriously where does the time go? I have lots more pictures to post so, you'll just have to settle for this one right now. This is Judah on his actual birthday with his birthday balloon. We kept it pretty low key this year. I decided we would have a big birthday bash every other year for him until he's 5 and then we'll figure something else out. Those parties are a lot of work, a lot of money and let's face it, he doesn't need more toys! I made mini Mikey Mouse cupcakes and took them to his school. They were devoured before we could even sing "Happy Birthday". lol. Then Justin and I took him to the Central Florida Zoo. It was perfect for him. The zoo is not too big and we were done by nap time. OH and they have a miniature train, which Judah just LOVED riding. It was a fun family day.

That night we took him to T-REX restaurant at Downtown Disney to meet up with Justin's family (from Tampa) and some of our close friends. He was a little scared of the animated T-Rex.

A week or two later we heard that the Ringling Bros. Circus was coming, so we ended up taking Judah with a few of our very best friends. It was fun. You're never too old for the circus. (Boys and girls of all ages, right?) He sat through most of it with no problem. Next year i think he will like it better, but the Elephants were by FAR his favorite.

Judah is such a trip right now. He's talking up a storm. Singing ALL the time and just full of personality. He's talking in FULL sentences with up to 6 words in them. His newest favorite statement is "Not Yet Mommy" or "Just a minute" (while holding up his little finger.

He can count to 13.

His repertoire of songs are:

Jesus Loves Me

The Itsy bitsy Spider

Row, Row, Row your boat

Take me out to the ball game

Twinkle, Twinkle

A, B, C's

Jesus Loves the Little Children

I'm know there's more, I just can't think of them right now.

Don't get me wrong, the tantrums are in full effect, but for the most part he's a good kid. I love being a mom and honestly would love to have another one. Yeah it's hard work, but I love him more than i could have ever imagined.

Oh and my kisses make everything "all better". Love it.

Justin's Photography business is going well. He's staying busy (as if youth ministry wasn't busy enough, right? lol) We are grateful for the potential to make extra money and he's just so darn talented. I mean seriously he's so good. He does it all. He leads worship, he's a youth Pastor, he edits videos, he's a photographer, he's a handyman, daddy, husband, counselor, SUPERMAN. Seriously.

Our church is awesome and we still LOVE being here...6 years later!! Honestly, we love our church, church family, church vision and Pastor. We are so blessed to be here and God is doing awesome things here. It has been an incredible year with lots of milestone events already!!

Are you bored yet? Next time i promise I will have more pictures. But I'll leave you with this "Wounded warrior" picture. Notice the bruise on the right side of his forehead. Poor little dude.
