Chores

Abigail has always been super helpful. Well...not always but mostly😉We recently started a chore chart for her. Abigail was actually the one that asked for it! Abigail and I made it together and she came up with the list (with a little help😊). Abigail actually wanted to keep adding more and more chores to her list haha! It has been AWESOME!!! Abigail is now doing the whole laundry!!! We put the detergent in and she takes it from there!! Folding and all!! And I don't even have to come behind her and refold it all! She is an excellent folder!! It has seriously been life changing! We do laundry every day. Not sure if we're the cleanest family or the dirtiest😏

Happy Anniversary, My Love!!

14 years ago I met the love of my life and 11 years ago I married him. Every year I fall more and more in love with you. I am so lucky to call you my husband, father to our children and my best friend. I can't wait to see what the next 50 years brings💕

Celebrating Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. My wonderful hubby and sweet kiddos spoiled me. We had a very yummy big breakfast filled with 3 different kinds of pancakes: chocolate chip, blueberry and cinnamon roll. Mmmmmm!!!

Then the kiddos gave me their adorable homemade cards (so cute!!), flowers (beautiful) and one of my favs...lottery tickets!! Colin picked out 6. Abigail asked to scratch off two. So there we were scratching off tickets...mommy came out with a big ole goose egg while both of Abigail's tickets won!! $20 on one ticket and $2 on the next! I know who is scratching my tickets from here on out!

It was kind of a yucky day weather wise (seems like the first rainy Mother's Day we've had in years!) so Colin took the kiddos upstairs to take a bath while I got to relax and watch Food Network! Ahhhhh!!!! Loved it!!

After the bath, we braved the gloomy weather and headed out to Frying Pan Park to see some animals and play on the playground.

We came back and had a delicious Mexican lunch, took naps and then headed back to a playground. It was such a fun and special day! I love my family so so much and appreciate everything they did to make Mother's Day special! 💕

Happy Mother's Day!!

We are so very blessed to have the most wonderful moms!! They are the best moms and the most amazing grandmothers! We are so thankful to have them in our lives!! We love them so so much!!💗

Cannot express how much it means to me to be a mom. I love our little loves more than words could ever describe. These sweet babies have my whole heart💕

Mother's Day Tea

Yesterday, Abigail's preschool hosted the most wonderful Mother's Day Tea. Abigail and I had been looking forward to it for weeks! Abigail was super excited to show me all of the fun surprises she had been working on for so long!!  To say it was one of the best days is an understatement. It was just such a special time to spend just the two of us.

Before Abigail's class entered the church, the preschool director read all of the moms a story about how wishing to hold onto these moments with your children for longer. There was not a dry eye in the house! While all of the moms were wiping their tears, Abigail's class put on the most adorable performance. It was SOOO cute!!! Then all of the kids brought their moms a tray of food (to mimic breakfast in bed😍) and "fancy" pink lemonade. Abigail stayed so close to me as we shared our special plate of goodies. Afterwards, Abigail gave me several presents that she made. Gifts that I will cherish forever💕 On one gift, I was laughing so hard I was crying. Love to hear the thoughts of a child!

This was such a special Mother's Day present. I will always remember this day. Goodness I wish we could slow down time!!!😢

One Year Ago

Cannot believe this was one year ago today. Feels like a lifetime ago, yet one we will never forget. It makes us feel even more incredibly blessed. Happy 1 Year Anniversary, sweet baby boy💙

Sweet Girl

Love our sweet girl!! I always can't wait to pick her up and hear about her day💜 Not gonna lie...very excited about having her home for 3 months!!!!😍

Fun With Nana and Geed

Nana and Geed kindly took Abigail and Colby so Colin and I could spend some time together💕 The kiddos had a blast with their Nan and Geed!! They went to the Children's Museum, lot of playgrounds and, of course, McDonald's!!! 😉 They were spoiled with love!! Colin and I had a great time, but of course we missed the kids like crazy!! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our babies, Nana and Geed!! The kiddos had so much fun building such wonderful memories💓
