Tman is 7 years old

Happy birthday to my big boy Tman who turned 7 on July 21st. Every time his birthday comes around, I can't believe how much he has grown. My first baby is 7 years old you guys.

My handsome Tman on his 7th birthday

We have a party planned for him and Jbird in a few weeks but we always celebrate on the actual birthday with cake and family. I am big on celebrating birthdays and I want the kids to always remember their birthdays as a very special day. We enjoyed some cake and opened presents on the actual day with our close family.

The boys are really into the PJ Mask characters so we got them these bracelets to wear all the time. I also got one for my niece so that she was part of the crew.

 Tman opened a few gifts with the help of his brothers

 His cousin also took part in the opening of gifts :)

 Emilia really wanted in on the action

Tman got this game that he really wanted and we had to play  it right away. You get a card with a picture on it and the person with the card on his forehead has to guess what they have. It was such a fun game and I am sure it will fill our evenings with lots of fun.

Giving Emilia lots of kisses

My nephew is big enough for photo ops with all the kids now, how awesome is that

We tried to take a few family shots with the cake but it was pure chaos

Hubby and I with all the cousins. Would it be a mad house if we had that many kids. Gosh, I am so glad we are done with that business.

My mom came just in time to hang out with the babies of the group

I tried to get a picture of her with all her grand kids and it was an impossible feat

These kids are hilarious

We had a blast celebrating our big boy Tman on his actual birthday. Every year that passes, we are so grateful to watch this kid grow into an amazing boy. I pray that he continue to grown into an amazing human being and I hope to celebrate many more birthdays with him. Happy birthday to my sweet first born son. We love you to the moon and back.

Pool party with the crew and an ad

Pool season is here and we are loving every minute of it. Summer is my most favorite time of the year. Since we spend so much time outside, I love to put my kids in long sleeve rashguard. A few years ago I discovered Cabana Life and totally fell in love with their product. They sell awesome and stylish rashguards for the entire family with built in SPF 50. The best part of it all is that they even have mommy and me styles.

I bought a few pieces and completely fell in love and bought an entire wardrobe at this point. I paid for all my outfit myself and they contacted me to see if I would be interested in sharing my experience with their outfit to my blog readers for a discount on future purchases. I was totally sold because I love their product and will surely buy more in the future

Their clothes are a bit pricey when you look at the regular price but frankly they always have some sort of sale going on and I bought all my outfit on sale (50% or more). They have a 70% flash sale that started today, go check it out to see what they have (and they always have some sort of sale). Cabana life is also offering 20% to all my readers by using the code TALLACK20. If you use my code, I will get a discount on future purchases. I love their product and I am super excited to share this with you guys.

A few months ago we kicked off the Summer season with a pool party at a friend's house. Their backyard is a little oasis I tell you. We were all rocking our favorite Cabana Life suit. I only had to reapply sunscreen to the face and leg and that is so much easier.

Chilling with my babies and my mommy rocking our Cabana Life gear. Emilia and I are wearing matching shirts ;)

My friends have a pond in their backyard and the boys just loved watching all the fish wiggling around

My mom and my daughter looking cute

My baby girl is so stylish.

My boys were in heaven here

Chilling with my mini me, I love having a girl so much

I love the long sleeve rashguards particularly when we are out in the sun all day

Love these boys of mine

How cute are these two, seriously

My baby tried crab for the first time, just kidding, she just sat there with me

Hubby and his baby girl

This is a blurry picture but I love my boys in action

We always try to get a family picture and we nailed it, though it's blurry

We love Summer around here and we are trying to make the most of it by staying outside and enjoying the pool. Our Cabana Life gear keep us protected and stylish. Do you guys like these kinds of bathing suits like I do? How do you protect your family from the sun? Share your experience.

Happy 1st Birthday Emilia

Our baby girl turned 1 on 9 July. Seriously you guys, this year just flew by. This time last year I was flooded with emotion as we welcomed this sweet little girl into the world and our lives. This has been  such a hectic and trying year for our family. Despite the trials and tribulations, this year was one of the most amazing year yet.

My sweet happy girl on her first birthday. She is such a dream baby, so happy and calm all the time

She makes the sweetest happy faces. She is looking at me like did you get your picture mama :)

Ok, I am done posing now but I still look super cool

She started walking a little over a month ago and hasn't stopped since. She now runs all over the house chasing after her big brothers. It's so funny that when I asked her to come to me she just started running :)

 She was just so proud of herself

 and she does everything with the biggest smile on her face

It's been an amazing and beautiful year with this little girl in our lives. She is just an awesome baby. She eats and sleeps well (for a baby). She is so easygoing and just adjust to whatever situation we put in front of her. I love her so much

My happy little girl who is always on the move with a smile plastered on her face. She is so my mini me. The apple definitely didn't fall far from this tree :)

She has the most beautiful brown eyes. This little girl is absolute perfection, better than anything I had ever imagined in my wildest dreams

We celebrated Emilia with our family and friends on her actual birthday and it was epic. Once I sort the pictures, I will tell you all about the amazing celebration. How insanely cute is this little girl, I just can't with her.

Happy 1st birthday sweet girl, our lives have been so enriched by your presence. We look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you. We love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for completing our family so perfectly.
