Check up Time

Check up Time


Today was check up time for my 15 month old. I cant believe how fast he is growing! Geesh!!!! He is 28 pounds now......future linebacker and he is almost 30 inches tall! I  didn't have my oldest son with us today so that made it a lot easier to get through this appointment. I like to be comfortable and bring less stuff as possible. We had an early morning appointment and it was a bit chilly. I wore something very similar to the outfit above. Sorry I am getting so bad at taking selfies now and I have no one to take pics of me : ( real sad face! Anyway, since of course Naval Hospital's parking lot was a circus, it took forever to find a spot and I had to run holding my sleeping 28 pound child just to make the appointment on time. Yes I lost about 5 pounds doing so LOL. Like I said before I try to bring in less as possible and lucky me after the check up portion, while we were waiting for my son's flu shot he decided he wanted to take a stroll around the lobby, into the halls, and everywhere else he felt he had access to. Ugh, I have to get one of those cute little wagon stroller things because I hate taking my double stroller when I don't have both kids. Any suggestions please feel free to comment! I carried a nice size cute tote that I had my purse essentials in plus a few things for my son such as wipes, two diapers, and sippy cup. To make this simple outfit pop I just paired it with a stylish printed flat shoe, which you can never go wrong with, and a pair of large gold stud earrings.

"How do you dress when you take your kids to their appointments?"

News Flash:

I recently received an email from a doctor at The American Recall Center about sharing a good piece of information. As you all know Veterans Day is this Monday, November 11th and I want to bring awareness to PTSD-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. A lot of Veterans struggle with this due to being exposed to traumatic events in the military. You all know I am a military spouse so this hits home for me and anytime I can educate or support I will. Please go educate yourself and read this awesome article  HERE. Spread the word!

Praying Week

 
Have you ever had one of those days where you just had to stop and say "Lord keep me near" because today ain't it!? Well lets just say I have had one of those weeks! Ugh! But The Lord definitely kept me near because I feel better mentally today.....now physically my sinuses are acting up something terrible. This week has taught me that if its not your time its simply just not your time. Here are a few pictures of the good times from this last weekend and this week. I will be back to my regular scheduled program Monday after some much needed rest this weekend.
Have an awesome weekend!
 
I volunteered this past weekend for The Fight for Children's Cancer . I didn't have to but I wanted to do something meaningful and when I saw a link for it I jumped.

Went to a Fall Festival at my oldest son's school. As you can see he was a rocket. He is not one for sitting down activities lol but he enjoyed himself




 
Went to our church Trunk o Treat as a Lowe's Handyman

 
This is what its like living with 3 guys.....I'm lonely LOL
 
And my little one has been under the weather so he didn't get to go out this Halloween but I did dress him up like a Sumo Wrestler LOL! Of course even though he is sick he just couldn't stay still for a pic
