Christian's Mother's Day Letter

I love when the boys make things for me, and each year for Mother’s day is no different. Christian is in school and they always do something cute and creative for me. I love to see how he sees things, and his take on me. This year his teacher typed up a letter and he had to fill in the blanks to best describe me. I find it hilarious how he sees me, and what he remembers. He can remember something I did one or two times but can never remember something I do every day or tell him every day.

I am 10 feet tall, and weighs 90.5 pounds (Ha!) I have brown and black hair and blue eyes. I like to eat spaghetti and Chicken (something) Everyday I go to work and after dinner I sit on the couch. (I find this so funny) My favorite show is E! News. My favorite thing to do is play his DS. He loves me because I am the greatest mom in the world!

Sometimes I wish I was taller, and of course skinner, or even better sit on the couch after dinner everyday. I do watch E! News, and I have on occasion played his DS! Who can blame him, he has some fun games, plus he looses it often!

I love the picture he drew, me under a rainbow!

I love these types of things he makes, and will cherish them forever.

I love him so much!

Jump...Jump...

With spring finally here and all this beautiful weather I like to take as many opportunities as possible to have the boys outside playing. Some of my best memories growing up were being outside playing with the neighborhood kids. Riding bikes, playing flash light tag or whatever being outside was the best! We have a pretty small back yard and we do our best to use our imaginations. We also live about 6-7 minutes from a fantastic park, but with gas prices getting high and the fact that I drive a big car it’s nice to stay home. So a few weeks ago when a friend from work said she was selling a jump house, I jumped on it! It’s a smaller one used for home purposes but it was perfect for the boys. Plus it’s portable enough that I could throw it in the back of the car and take it to my parents for all the kids to enjoy it. I defiantly got our money’s worth out of it, and I’m sure it will get a lot of use this summer!

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday to ME!!

Happy 29th Birthday to me that is!!

Yep, I am entering into the last year in my 20's. I'm kind of sad about that. It's one thing to say oh I'm 20 something, but I honestly can say I might have a hard time next year saying I'm 30.

My 20's were great! I entered 20 married, ( I was 6 month's shy of 20, so yes that means I was 19.) I have had two of the most beautiful boys in the world! Plus I got to spend it with my best friend, my hubby! I am so excited to see what year 29 will bring me, and my family.

In honor of my birthday I thought I would show off my new do! They are not the best pictures, I had to take them myself!

We have an exciting weekend planned! Birthday and Mother's day celebrations all weekend with my family, I can't ask for more!

Here is to year 29!!!!

Mini-Easter Photo Shoot!

On Easter Sunday after church before heading over to my parents house we had a mini-photo shoot with the boys. I took a few in the back yard, but most off the road we live. It was supposed to be a new subdivision but has now become just overgrown. They put an old wood fence around the property and I thought it would be a great background. I was right and LOVE how they turned out!

This is Colin's usual face, always looks like he is doing something he knows he shouldn't.

Christian is at a stage where he's not really into getting his picture taken. I pretty much have to bribe him. I can't imagine why....I only take about a 100 pictures a month!

I love capturing these little moments of the two of them! They are growing up so fast and I want to capture every age!

What I'm LOVING Wednesday!

I'm link up with Jamie over at This Kind of Love. Here's what I'm loving....what are you loving?

I'm Loving that my hubby will be home tomorrow night and we are spending some much needed family time together this weekend!!

I'm loving that my grandparents will be in town this weekend to join in on our our celebrations! I love my grandma Tootie! (Yes, that is her name!)

I'm Loving that Mother's day is this wekend and I am so lucky that God allow me to be these two little boys mommy!

I'm Loving that Friday is my Birthday! Kind of sad it will be my last brithday in my 20's, but excited to see what God has in store for me this coming year!

Weekend Fun!!

We had a great weekend, and even better weather! Saturday morning we had a garage sale. Not as successful as I would have hoped for but, we were able to get rid of quite a few things. If you were looking for a bargain you got it at our sale. I wanted to get rid of things more than make money! The left over items got donated to charity, so over all win-win!

Saturday afternoon the boys and I headed up to Canton to attend my best friend’s graduation party. We have known each other for 15 years, and I could not have been more proud of her! She has attended college while working, getting married, and oh yeah donating her kidney to her husband earlier this year. WOW! Through it all she was determined to finish. She has received her teaching license and she is going to be a fabulous teacher! Her party was at a park near where she lives and the weather was perfect for it! They had awesome BBQ! The kids ran around and played. Colin was a little under the weather but we still enjoyed our time visiting with her and her family!

A friend of hers made this awesome cake! It was so cute, and delicious! I failed to get a picture of the graduate, or her and myself, or her and the boys! Oh well!

Sunday we woke up with the intentions of going to church, but poor Colin was still not feeling well. He has been running a fever off and on since Thursday night, and just was pitiful. So we laid around until about 1:00 before heading over to my parents to visit!

It was a great weekend….and a great start to a fun filled week!

Look who lost his first tooth!!!

Christian has had a tooth that has been loose for quite a while now, but nowhere near enough to either pull it or for it to fall out. The other day when I picked him up he was so excited because he had been messing with it all day with his tongue and it was super loose! I told him not to bother with it anymore and when it was ready to come out it would. Ha, easier said than done especially when your 6! I told him to be careful while eating so he wouldn’t swallow it. He panicked for a minute and asked why, assuming if he did swallow it something bad would happen. I said if he didn’t have it, he couldn’t get money for it! He was so cautious eating dinner, but afterwards I took a quick look myself. I barely touched it and it fell right into my hands! He didn’t even know it was missing! He was super excited, and could wait to call Michael and tell him what had happened!
