Roweyn's Ramblings Wk. 22 | 4th of July

We had such a great 4th. We spent the day relaxing at the house, lounging on the beach and in the lake, just spending time with the fam. It was definitely one of my favorite 4ths.

Cousins playing in the sand. Roweyn snug as a bug in her towel per her request. Eating my popsicle and not sharing with me. HER VERY FIRST PIGTAILS!! 


Walking with Papa and Nana. Being cute. LOVING the watermelon. FIREWORKS!! 


Roweyn LOVED the fireworks. We laid on a blanket on the grass and watched them above us. It's definitely one of my new favorite memories of us. She cuddled up right next to me and we would point at them and say "Oooo pretty" and she would giggle. It was the sweetest thing.

Thursday we headed down to Roseville, mainly so we could find Roweyn a potty chair. We ended up finding lots of good deals on clothes and some others I just couldn't resist. :) We also met up with my best friend Vanessa from cosmetology school, along with her husband and darling baby. We hadn't see each other since her graduation when I was about 9.5 months pregnant. So she had never met Roweyn and I'd never met her daughter who was just born in February. Her name is Scarlett and she is the cutest little thing! Roweyn was so cute with her too.

1) A skirt I couldn't decide on...$26 down to $6 at Old Navy so I bought it.

2) A dress at H&M I just had to have!

3) Roweyn loving her new green potty chair!

4) Some of Rowe's goodies from Babies R Us. 3 tanks & a One Piece Suit on sale plus an additional 30% off and her potty chair $3 off.

5) A skirt, halter and tank top for Roweyn all under $6.99, plus 2 skirts for me on sale at Old Navy.

6) 2 shirts and a tank from H&M none on sale though. :(

7) 3 dresses for me from H&M the first one on sale but the others weren't

8) And last but not least, Roweyn modeling her new halter

Roweyn's Ramblings Wk. 21 | A Week Behind

Things have been a little crazy around here as you noticed in my last couple posts. I'm now a week behind in Roweyn's Ramblings and am ready to do some catch up! Lets hope I can remember all that has happened!


Here is everything from the week before 4th of July!

Monday the 27th:

Roweyn turned 1.5 years old! And drinking out of her cup like a big girl!

Tuesday the 28th:

Roweyn REALLY wanted to go boating. She kept pulling out her lifejacket and trying to put it on.

Wednesday the 29th:

My niece and Roweyn's cousin Devyn came to stay and play for a few days! She LOVES her cousin. She wanted to play with her non stop and copied everything she did. I wish they could see each other more often.

Thursday the 30th:

Every time I asked Roweyn to do something she would cross her arms. Roweyn's best friend Kashmir came over to play so her parents could go on a date. Rowe thought it was hilarious having shorts on her head. Rowe and Kash swinging.

Friday July 1st: Already?! 

Rowe loving the trampoline.

(Below):

Rowe driving the boat while eating cheese...quite the multitasker. LOVING the boat ride! Bath time after the boat.

Saturday July 2nd:

My new coffee mug! I luff it! Rowe is the coolest kid on the boat. Duh!

The linky is already closed for last week, so I'm just going to put the one for this week on this one as well as our other post that is actually for this week. :) Did that make sense? ha

Summer Daze

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend, spending time with family and enjoying the sunshine! Hope you guys did too! We were having so much fun we didn't take a lot of photos. I did get some adorable shots of Roweyn that will hopefully be up on Roweyn's Ramblings when I get a chance! 


Lately I just haven't had the energy to blog. We've been busy trying to enjoy the hot weather as much as possible and by bed time I'm just exhausted. When we're not busy outside, I'm busy inside, trying to catch up on cleaning and relaxing when I get a chance and the last thing on my mind is blogging. Even though I want to put up the adorable photos of Roweyn and talk about all the fun we are having, right now I'd rather just spend the time living it and not blogging it. I do hope to get up a post of Roweyn Ramblings tonight if the time permits. 


Roweyn and I have the house to ourselves this week. My parents, Tayelor and my niece Devyn left yesterday morning for Eureka to visit family. My brother Trevor and Sierra came down on Sunday and stayed until this morning to hang out with Rowe and me. It was SO nice having them here. They even watched Roweyn for a couple hours yesterday so I could go to work! Roweyn did so well, considering she hasn't been left with anyone besides my mom. I have to work on Friday too so she will be having a play date with Kashmir and her Mama Trisha. She's never had a play date without me going along but I'm sure it will go well. Having a friend to play with is always a good distraction!


Well Rowe is up from her nap, and after she has a nice lunch we are going to head down to the pool to play! Roweyn is loving the water and it will be our first time swimming there this summer. I'm excited to give her a little swim lesson! Nice thing about being an ex swim teacher, I can just teach her myself!
