Family Day

Today was such a fun Saturday! For one - I LOVE waking up to Elizabeth talking instead of my alarm clock. We ate breakfast together and I enjoyed listening to her laugh and get excited over chocolate pop-tarts. She even dipped her pop tart in some milk she spilled on her tray! Just like her Daddy! :)

We went for a run around 10am (I had to let it warm up a little). The weather was great and Elizabeth slept the entire run since she was still in her pjs, socks, and a snuggly blanket. The run wasn't the best I have ever done and I found myself walking more towards the end which was perfectly fine with me! It was a beautiful time to clear my head and enjoy the amazing weather God blessed us with.

After Matt woke up from working all night, we decided to go to a little playground. We actually went to Martinez Elementary and took Elizabeth to play on the swings and playground equipment there. This is actually the first place Matt and I met back when we were attending that school. We realized years later that he used to chase me around the playground!! We had so much fun reliving those years and making new memories with Elizabeth. Here are some of the pics:

She had so much fun climbing up the stairs and sliding down the slide (sometimes with me and other times sliding down to Matt)

Woman on a mission!!!

I have wanted to be a mother for a long time but I was never prepared for the amount of joy that she has brought into my life. Every day is an adventure and I love being able to hear her sweet laughter!!

So Big!!!

Ok...so I know you all remember jumping off the swings when you were little and then having major contests of who could go the farthest when you were a little older?? Matt dared me to jump out of the swing. For those of you that know me, my first response was NO! There are risks involved (I could fall flat on my face, break and ankle..etc, etc.) Then I thought...what the heck! It was so liberating and fun!! Of course, I wasn't going very high and I only did it once, but you get the point!! Don't forget to stop and have fun!

What made today so special was being able to spend it as a family. I am so grateful to God that He placed such an amazing man in my life. I love looking back and seeing how far we have grown not only as individuals but as a couple. I look forward to many more family days at playgrounds :)
