What I'm Loving Wednesday

It's Wednesday! Crazy to think that it's Wednesday already. We have had such a great week so far!

This Wednesday I'm loving...


Bennett's Swim Lessons at our Athletic Club in town! It has been so much fun watching him experience the pool for the first time!

A couple things they had us do:

-Dunk him

-'Bob' him up and down

-Let him reach his arms towards rubber duckies

-Show him how to kick

-Show him how to blow bubbles

Here we are at our first day of swimming lessons! So glad that we were able to do this as a family!

Right after Day 2!

Day 1 was good! No crying, screaming or fussing. He was very content. Didn't freak out.. we dunked him 5 times! The inside pool was a little chilly, so he was literally frozen solid. It was hilarious because he was so stiff! Poor guy. Had a great time though.

Day 2 was.. not so good. As soon as he got in t water he got a ton of water up his nose, so I believe that just ruined the whole mood. He was in major pain from teething and just having a rough day! He was a big boy though and stuck it out. He got a lot more comfortable in the water.

Day 3 was the best day yet! He had a great time in the water! He was kicking, splashing, chasing the ducks, did a great job going under water and we were all smiles! 

I'm loving my new bible study called Living So That

I've been eagerly looking for a good bible study. There are so many out there to choose from that I love to get ideas from friends who have already walked through bible studies. I am on day 2 and all I can say is wow. Wendy is a great writer.

What I love about this study:
-She encourages memorizing a bible verse a week
-It's a lot of back and forth from reading the scripture to reading the book
-She gives you different sections; Studying, diving deeper, application and a review section
-It's a 5 week study meant for 5 days a week



Brandon and I both work from home. We are able to create our own schedule and enjoy the sweet moments of our little one. Like today. We got out the white board for work and two seconds later this monkey is crawling up it. Haha!

I'm loving AdvoCare this Wednesday. So many people look at AdvoCare as vitamins or The 24 Day Challenge or that annoying thing that is going around on Facebook, but to my little family it means so much more. And my husband said it best just the other day...

'What an incredible journey we have had over the last 9 months. We've overcome adversity, experienced large amounts of personal growth, taken ownership of our circumstances and refused to let anything de-rail us from our course. Some people look at this picture and see jewelry. When I see this picture I see lives changed, bravery, refusal to accept circumstance, the creation of full time parents, debt free teammates, the blessing of giving time back to people, freeing those who hate their jobs... And most of all, gods work of blessing us with the ability to serve others for a living. If you're living a life of circumstance I challenge you to plant your feet firmly on the ground, change your course and take hold of an opportunity that could give you more than you've ever imagined possible. YOU are worth it. If this speaks to you, were always here to help.'

I'm loving Jaxon & Bennett's funny relationship. Jaxon is either afraid of Bennett or doesn't care for him. Bennett chases Jaxon and he runs. It's so funny. But yesterday, I caught them snuggling.

Chipotle at home for lunch. Yum!  We would eat chipotle everyday if we could. I tried to do an at home version. Definitely not the same... but close. ;)

I'm loving these two baby goodies!

This Saline Mist

This stuff is incredible! I have been soaking Bennett's nose since the day he was born. With his reflux issues and allergies, it's like I'm doing it constantly. I tried the drops.. they were ok, but I still had to use this sucker. Then a friend told me about this stuff! {singing angels from heaven} Wow! I squirt, it shoots up, loosens up the junk, and it just runs right out! No more sucking!!! My ears are thankful {from hearing the screaming} but I know the little mr. is thankful too! 

These Munchkin Spoons

 A spoon is a spoon right? I had the little plastic ones with the metal handle, but I didn't like those, so I went and grabbed these. I LOVE them! They're super soft. Which means.. They're great if you bump a swollen teething gum!
