Mama's boy...

I love this little boy so much!  He's my baby boy, and always will be.  And for now, he is a mama's boy...  It's kinda funny, in the mornings he won’t little daddy get his milk or help with anything.  He says, no daddy, no daddy… Over and over…  While daddy might not find it funny, I do.  And for the time being, I'm over the moon that my baby boy wants his mama.  

I know there is going to come a time, when this will change...  But for now, I'm going to hold onto him as tight as I can, and savor every moment.

Its okay, the little girl is all about her daddy, and wants little to do with me most of the time.  I guess that is how it goes.

My nephew’s 1^st birthday party was a success, everyone had a great time. 

 He is just too cute, he seriously makes me want to have another baby...  He reminds me a little of my baby boy, with his smile, and the way his face lights up when he smiles and laughs...

And thanks to my Aunt & Uncle for coming over, I was able to enjoy a much needed nap.  As usual I was up most of the night last night.  Hopefully my doctor will be able to do something about this on Monday when I go in for my treatment…

We are calling it an early night, both kiddos are already asleep.  I don't know what to do with the free time, watch a girl flick, have a glass of wine, or go to bed.  Since my eye lids are heavy, I guess going to bed will be what ends up happening.

Happy 1st Birthday  J! 

Goodnight sweet angels!

Happy birthday to my sweet baby boy...

Today my sweet baby boy is THREE!  I can’t believe you're already THREE!  I’m so proud of you; you have accomplished so much over this past year.  You're truly one laid back, caring, passionate little fella…  I remember the day you were born like it was yesterday, and all the emotions that ran through my body.  When I first saw you, my heart skipped a beat, I was so in love.  Butterflies filled my stomach; I was so excited to meet you.  I remember them taking you to the nursery and me staying up the entire night until they brought you back to me, so we could be together.  We are forever bound together, and you will always be my baby boy.  The love I have for you, runs so deep, it hurts at times.

I knew today would be an emotional day for me.   I’m not ready for you to be THREE!  I reflect back, and miss that chunky little monkey of mine.  Now you have slimmed down, talking back to me at times, and holding hands with a girl (which I don’t approve of).

I hope your day is filled with LOVE, and I hope you know how much you are LOVED!

I’m so thankful that God choose me to be your mother.  I LOVE you so much, and here’s too many more birthdays sweet boy!

Happy Birthday my sweet baby boy!

***This was my baby boys first favorite song!  We use to listen to it over and over, and over and over...  I miss those days!

A traintastic party...

What a traintastic weekend we have had!  We celebrated my baby boy’s 3^rd birthday, and it was a wonderful day surrounded by family and friends!

I don’t know about you, but I always get EXTREMELY stressed out, when it comes to the birthday parties.  I want them to be so perfect, that I end up stressing myself and everyone else out.  And at the end of the day no matter what they're always perfect, due to the family and friends that come together to help us celebrate.  But until the actual day arrives, I always stress out about the decorations, food, and making sure I have enough in place for everyone to have a great time.  So yesterday, I was really stressed and I think it showed more than usual for whatever reason.

Here is a little glimpse into our day…

Just a few of the decorations, I hope Thomas the Tank Engine would be proud…

The kiddos having fun…

The little man enjoying his day…  But he gets so shy when it comes to everyone singing him Happy Birthday!  It’s so cute to watch him be so bashful…

And the day wouldn’t be complete without this adorable baby girl!

All in all, it was great day!  And thank you to everyone, that helped make his day perfect!

Baby boy, I hope you had a great time.  We love you so much!

Hope whatever your plans might be, for this beautiful fall Sunday, that you're having a traintastic time!  We are going to take it easy today, and play with all the wonderful gifts we received.  We have more train tracks than we know what to do with.  So our Sunday with be full of Thomas the Tank Engine, and a little Chuggington on the side.

Cheers to a wonderful and blessed weekend!

Happy birthday to the husband...

Today it is his birthday…  

Happy Birthday my love!  I remember when we first started dating we would celebrate our birthdays with lavish dinners and gifts, now it’s a kiss on the cheek along with a Happy Birthday, as we are passing by chasing after one of the kiddos or me running out the door to work.  Things truly have changed since our kiddos enter the picture, but I know neither one of us would trade where we are today!

I hope you have a wonderful day!  And maybe if you’re lucky, I just might take you out to dinner tonight;)
