We had a blast celebrating Landon this weekend! I’m not usually a water park girl but even I had fun, at 7 months pregnant. I will say, the lazy river was not as lazy as I expected. I wasn’t paying attention as I was rounding up tubes and getting everyone situated when suddenly a huge bucket of water turned upside down on my head. Swipe to see my reaction right after. I don’t think Nate has ever been more pleased. 🤣 He has been waiting years for that moment.
Happy 7️⃣th birthday to my sweetest, smartest, Happy 7️⃣th birthday to my sweetest, smartest, most wonderful Landon! He and Daddy went and got donuts this morning and picked out some fun books/toys at Target! I told him last night as I tucked him in bed that I cannot believe he is already SEVEN, and he responded, “Well… I’ve just been living my life!” 🙃🥲 I can’t wait to celebrate him all weekend! I love you, Landon! 💕🎈🎂
27 weeks ✨ I can’t believe I’m so close to t 27 weeks ✨ I can’t believe I’m so close to the third trimester! The last few days have been a challenge. Nate and the boys spoiled me on Mother’s Day and by the end of the day I was completely wiped out. I’m at the point where my mind feels very motivated and excited to do things but my body is now in pain doing just about anything. I could honestly sleep all day but on the flip side, I can hardly sleep at night because that’s the most uncomfortable time for me. 

I’m trying so hard not to wish this time away. These are my last lil babies. This is the last time I will be pregnant. I feel so thankful and blessed. I can tell you right now that I never in a million years imagined myself as a twin mom and I certainly did not see myself with 4 kids! I remember being unsure we would even have two! 🤯 But now it all just feels so surreal and meant to be. I just can’t help but feel so ready to meet them!

This weekend we are celebrating the one who made me a mom as he turns 7! I don’t know how that’s even possible. It makes me realize just how fast these next few weeks are going to go. Time is flyiiinggg.
Thanks for the memories Islamorada! It was a wonde Thanks for the memories Islamorada! It was a wonderful treat to relax and experience a part of my home state that I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting! We will definitely be back, as Hargis party of 6, if we’re that brave. 😂🥳
Bumpin’ with these twins in the pool all day tod Bumpin’ with these twins in the pool all day today! So thankful for this time with @natehargis1987 to relax a bit before life gets a little extra wild and tiring, in the best way. ✨
I’m just here for the key lime pie mocktails.🍹😋
I think I’ll enjoy this view for a few days. 🥰
The beautiful weather this weekend was just what w The beautiful weather this weekend was just what we needed! Going to bed tonight excited for only two more days of work before some much needed relaxation.
Happy Easter! ✝️🐣 It has been a full day of Happy Easter! ✝️🐣 It has been a full day of celebrating over here! None of it would’ve been possible without Nate. He got off work and went to get a few last min presents for Cohen, picked up the cake, ordered pizza, filled all the eggs, and hid them. He sent me back to bed after lunch because I am still sick, but I was trying desperately to be better. 😐 

I’m just so glad Cohen had a good birthday and they got an egg hunt! Maybe next year we’ll make it to church with all four little ones!🤞🏻

Celebrating My Firefighter! Graduation Day!

Las Vegas Trip July 2017
I can’t believe I finally get to say this BUT – I am officially married to a Lexington Firefighter! This past year has felt like an eternity and has also gone by in a total blur. I do not feel like we’ve truly relaxed a single day since this process began. The application and interviewing process alone took months. I just can’t believe finals are complete and graduation is finally here!

It is a whirlwind of emotions. This may not have been MY personal journey but the stress of it all most certainly took a toll on our everyday lives. Up until this past Tuesday, Nate woke up every single day with the realization that anything could happen and all of this could have been for nothing. And I didn’t really know how to support that. It’s hard to tell someone that you understand how they’re feeling when you know that you really don’t. I never doubted clothing for kids trendy for one second that he would make it through to the end. I just knew how hard he was working and studying. Every moment was consumed by preparing for tests, quizzes, drills, etc. He has been eating, breathing, and sleeping this stuff.

So today I get to watch Nate and all of his classmates walk across a stage and graduate. I have had the pleasure of meeting some of them and getting to know their families just a bit. They are all wonderful people! I barely know them but I feel like we have all been in this together. I can see why it is said that in this profession it feels like you have a second family. I can only imagine how much more I’ll learn about that feeling as Nate begins working!

Nate – I am so proud of you! You put it all on the line for this job and now you are on the other side of it looking back at all you have accomplished. I have been stressed for you and anxious for you – but I have never once felt doubt, ever. I have been at peace about the outcome since the day you applied. I have probably been annoyingly optimistic. 😀 But when you know, you know. And I knew this was your path without a doubt. Landon and I are so thankful for you and all that you do for our family. We are just so proud of you! We love you so much!
